Past Fantasy Outlooks
2004
2003
Benard hasn't been healthy or useful in years, and at 33 is unlikely to break that streak. He'll be in someone's camp looking for a job, at least until security notices.
Turns 33 during the offseason, lost much of 2002 due to a knee injury. His peak years have probably come and gone already, and, as he proved during 2001, he's certainly not a good defensive centerfielder. At this point, he's probably best used as a fourth outfielder or a lefty platoon bat in right field. It'll probably take Felipe Alou all spring to sort out his outfield, so check him in the spring.
