Dan Uggla Revisited

Pokey Reese pulled a Rey Ordonez and walked out of Marlins camp. His Khalil Greene was Dan Uggla.

I like him to be a useful Roto contributer for less than $10. In early December, I noted the similarities between him and Aaron Miles in AA.

Uggla won't have Colorado to keep his AVG up, but he should be OK for double digit HRs and SB.

If his dream-come-true quote ("This is the opportunity I've been waiting on my whole life, to be the starter and be a part of a big-league ballclub.") is indicative of his personality, then he will also become a favorite of manager Joe Girardi.

With that backing, he can be expected to gets ABs all season long to reach my projections.
