Astros right-field job remains wide open

Jason Lane slugged two homers and drove home four runs vs. the Marlins on Monday. Lane lost his starting right-field job with a miserable year in 2006, but he’s putting up a strong fight to reclaim it with a .286 average, five jacks and 12 RBIs this spring. Luke Scott hasn’t hit for the same kind of power (.286 AVG, 2 HR, 5 RBIs), but he hasn’t hurt himself with his performance, either, so the battle for the right-field job remains wide open.

Luke Scott: Possible Starting Gig



Luke Scott, who has the inside track to the Astros' right-field job, spent most of the offseason working with physical therapist John Carey, the professional athletic trainer who worked wonders with outfielder Matt Holliday of the Rockies.

While Scott's workout regimen and dieting demonstrate a strong degree of motivation, not once has he batted above .300 during his five years in the Minors, so don't pay for last year's .336 mark. All in all, the late-rising 28-year-old makes for a respectable No. 4 fantasy outfielder.
