Justin Morneau

MLB.com reported Saturday that Minnesota 1B Justin Morneau (concussion-related symptoms) still feels some numbness in his left index finger at times. The report said that could take up to two years to fully go away. The numbness seems to be the result of the nerve problem in his neck, which he underwent surgery for.

The concussion symptoms continue to be the scariest prospect for Morneau entering spring training, but the 1B also underwent surgeries on his knee, foot and wrist in 2011. He is a banged up player right now and one who's value in Fantasy is at a low. The Twins have said he'll play 1B if healthy, so he's well on his way to that end. Clearly, Morneau is a risk entering 2012, especially since he didn't produce anywhere close to his usual numbers last year, but the former AL MVP is still worth a late-round look for the possibility of a bounce-back season.

Too risky for an early or mid pick. Id deff draft him in the later rounds though.

I wouldn't expect much. I don't even know if he is worth taking up a bench spot.

I disagree with this. I'm from Minnesota and get all the local news about him. He recently said that he feels better than he has in years. I think he's definitely worth a shot in the later rounds.

He's worth a look if he drops far enough. The dude averages 30 and 115 even after being injured the last 1.5 seasons. He's won an MVP and was runner up another time. People forgot how legit he is because he hasn't played in awhile.
