MARKET PULSE: And so it begins

See the end of the article for an explanation of the ratings used here.

Willie Bloomquist (SS, ARI) is getting extra AB with Stephen Drew (SS, ARI) on the disabled list. He exceeded his projected playing time last year, grabbing 350 AB and stealing 20 bases with Drew's injury and the unsettled Arizona outfield.
