Jose Reyes?

No siree... it's Elvis Andrus who finishes the season as a top 50 player.


I got some but I rather wait until our auction finishes. I rather not get bid up.

I got impatient. I left out a couple players, but I definitely spelled out my love of Arenado, but it is not like he was ever a "sleeper" or anything.

3B - Nolan Arenado is a fringe first-rounder by 2015. Road struggles? That's cute. Call me when he gets traded. Arenado is very receptive to coaching and will continue to improve his already great game. Remember when he was a bad fielder as a prospect? No? Now, he is a GG defender. He flirts with 30/100/.300.

I just realized how many typos I had in there. I wrote it tired and quickly. Hope it does not ruin any of the predictions.

Whats the deal with Yadier Molina and why in or league he went in last rounds then dropped? I googled but just read he lost a bunch of weight in off-season. I know he was hurt last year but??

I don't think he is a good fantasy catcher. I have no idea why he was dropped though. I think he is a 10 HR guy, and I would much rather take a chance on a guy with more power.

If you are in a 12 team mixed and especially 10 team, catcher is a pretty deep position this year. So I could easily see him going late in a draft.

quote:

1B - Even losing some at-bats to lefties, Lucas Duda repeats 2014 even though he went outside the top 100 picks. He is the best bargain at a loaded position.

2B - Neil Walker again leads the 2B position in power production. He stays healthy and harvests RBI's on the reg hitting behind Marte and Cutch. 80/25/90/5/.270

3B - Nolan Arenado is a fringe first-rounder by 2016. Road struggles? That's cute. Call me when he gets traded. Arenado is very receptive to coaching and will continue to improve his already great game. Remember when he was a bad fielder as a prospect? No? Now, he is a GG defender. He flirts with 30/100/.300.

3B - Josh Donaldson wins the AL MVP with a filthy 90/35/110/.280 campaign. Billy Beane is left wondering why he traded for Lawrie who spends 4 months on the DL.

OF - Kemp and Upton each hit 25+ in their new Petco home. They live up to their lofty ADP's

SP - The foot injury does not affect Chris Sale. He misses two starts, but still makes 30 great starts this year, wins the Cy Young, and his arm still looks like Gumby.

RP - Steve Cishek performs like an elite closer with an 11 K/9, 40 saves, and a 2.00 ERA.



Not so bold, Cotton.

More has to do with my respect for Theo. He saw something in MM and I also expect Maddon to get the most out of him.

quote:

OF- Jose Bautista fails to reach 20 HRs.


Maybe it's not fair but with him being healthy all of last season I don't see him staying on the field this year.

quote:

3B- Lonnie Chisenhall finally puts it all 


Projecting his 1st half stats over an entire season I don't see how this is too far fetched entering his 27y/o season. Lonnie Baseball was just a late bloomer.

I was hoping more people would post their predictions.

Forgot one:

Jung Ho Kang is waiver wire fodder. Dude gets under 250 plate appearances and hit under 10 bombs.

We are complete odds over a ton of players this year.

Catcher:
*Russell Martin is a top 5 catcher, hitting 20 HR and driving in 80+ while hitting behind those juiced up frickers in Toronto.
*Evan Gattis slumps for nearly the entire year, finishing with a .220 average and less than 15 HR.

First Base:
*Prince Fielder returns to elite status, bashing 40 HR and driving in 100+.
*Edwin Encarnacion finishes outside the top 10 1B (I will continue to make this prediction until it fricking happens, dammit).

Second Base:
*Devon Travis flirts with Rookie of the Year honors, hitting 15 HR and stealing 15 bags.
*Kolten Wong sucks wong. Gets sent to Memphis for a month following a prolonged slump.

Third Base:
*Matt Carpenter continues the same hitting approach that he had in the playoffs last year, resulting in a power surge. Finishes the year just shy of 20 bombs.
*Evan Longoria is a huge dud, struggling to do anything in that anemic offense. Fails to drive in 70.

Shortstop:
*Jimmy Rollins finds new life in a new place, and it leads to him scoring 100+ runs leading off for the Dodgers.
*Starlin Castro finally loses his job, and is traded. The trade doesn't help his attitude and he struggles to get on base and is beyond the top 12 SS.

Outfield:
*Avisail Garcia is a top 20 OF, hitting 25 bombs and driving in 80+
*Joc Pederson gets sent back to AAA following a horrendous start to the year, and doesn't get called back up until September.

Starting Pitcher:
*Garrett Richards is a top 5 starting pitcher, and strikes out 200+.
*Chris Sale's arm finally fricking falls off.

Relief Pitcher:
*Tyler Clippard saves 40 games for Oakland.
*Trevor Rosenthal loses his role before the All-Star break.

If Carpenter hits anywhere near 20 homers, his owners would spoolge all over themselves. That was definitely a bold one.

He started getting more aggressive at the plate in the playoffs. Hit four HR.
