Fantasy Analysis
Marte, once a top prospect, will get a full-time look in the second half, which makes him a sleeper in AL-only leagues right now. There is pop and potential here, so watch the streaky hitter for a roll. Pick him up immediately in AL-only formats and think about taking a flyer on him even in deeper mixed leagues as a possible corner infield option if he catches fire. (Updated 07/26/2008).
