RotoWire's Preseason Outlooks

2013

There was no outlook written for Bryan LaHair.

2012

The 29-year-old LaHair crushed Triple-A to the tune of .331/.405/.664 last year, hitting 38 homers in just 461 at-bats. And he more than held his own in a 58-at-bat cup of coffee in the majors down the stretch. With Carlos Pena a free agent, and Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer not likely to break the bank for Prince Fielder, LaHair could very well get a shot in spring training to win the team's first-base job. LaHair's contact rate makes him a batting average risk in the majors, but there's little doubt he could hit 20-25 homers in a full season of major league at-bats. LaHair will still begin the season as the first baseman even after the acquisition of Anthony Rizzo, who will start off at Triple-A Iowa.

2009

Without a true first baseman after releasing Richie Sexson last season, the Mariners gave LaHair a call from Triple-A Tacoma. LaHair, a 39th-round pick in 2002, is 26 and not a big prospect in the organization, plus he can't hit lefties. He didn't do much with the Mariners, and the signings of Russell Branyan and Chris Shelton in the offseason leave LaHair without a position for 2009. At best, he fills a bench spot as a left-handed pinch-hitter.
