While Johan Santana is making solid progress in his rehab, don’t look for him as an option on draft day. Maybe if you have deep bench or multiple DL spots in your league it is worth a shot, but Santana probably won’t be back with the Mets until June or July. CHOOSE A ROUND 1st [...]

The Blue Jays will pound the baseball once again in Toronto and young starting catcher J.P. Arencibia is a nice sleeper for fantasy leagues. If John Buck could hit 20 home runs for this team Arencibia should at least hit that many as he has legit power. CHOOSE A ROUND 1st Round 2nd Round 3rd [...]

If the Cardinals are going to make a run for the playoffs without Adam Wainwright it will take a full team effort. Jaime Garcia had an impressive season last year and needs to become the Cardinals true No.2 pitcher in the rotation. CHOOSE A ROUND 1st Round 2nd Round 3rd Round 4th Round 5th Round [...]

One pitcher fantasy baseball owners need to pay attention to is A’s youngster Gio Gonzalez. This kid is primed for a strong season in 2011, and if he should fall past the fifteen round at your draft, it is worth grabbing him fast. CHOOSE A ROUND 1st Round 2nd Round 3rd Round 4th Round 5th [...]

Bryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg get all the headlines for the future of the Washington Nationals but this team has a few other youngsters to take note of. Shortstop Ian Desmond is one of those talents, and he is worth starting on your fantasy squad this season. CHOOSE A ROUND 1st Round 2nd Round 3rd [...]

Both pitchers will give your team quality innings and a chance to pickup wins, as they play for playoff caliber teams. CHOOSE A ROUND 1st Round 2nd Round 3rd [...]

The San Francisco Giants are hot off their first World Series Championship, since they moved away from New York. Third Baseman Pablo Sandoval had a down year as he was over weight and was going through a divorce last season. By the time the Giants were in the World Series, Sandoval was hardly a factor [...]

Key closers came off the board in the 13th round but one catcher caught my eye as the third selection and that was Orioles youngster Matt Wieters. Last season Wieters had huge expectations and didn’t play well. Look for Wieters to bounce back this season and become an every week starter at the catcher position [...]

Can one player make all the difference? No, not in the NFL. But adding one player can make an organization look like a collective genius. For example, the St. Louis Rams add Sam Bradford and now look like a promising young team on the upswing. And of course, on the other side of the spectrum, [...]

Watching MLB Network is a regular in my house, but today I was ready to flip the TV with added anticipation of watching Jake Peavy’s spring debut against the Angels. Peavy suffered a shoulder injury (torn right lat) last July and was done for the season. With an injury like this one, it was hard [...]
