its my bench for christ sake

Kila will suprise this year. i see him having a full year and getting at least 18 hrs with an ops around 8.

Its make or break time for LaPorta and he was injured last year. Time to live up to the hype.

Cabrera will be a spot start after rollins gets injured.

A healthy Encarnaccion at DH is gonna be the steal of the draft.

with that said, i doubt any of these guys make it past the all star break on my team but the potential is there and i'm happy with my starters

(no message)

I wasn't gonna draft a SS til the last rd. And Furcal just kept falling and falling and couldn't pass him up.

If 09 Lind comes to play, he will be the steal of the draft.

And of all the prospects taken in rounds 13-19, Freddie Freefall Freeman was sick value.

Here's a quick look at a few other players currently overvalued on Draft Day:

Nelson Cruz, OF, Rangers (Roto: Rd. 3, H2H: Rd. 5): By all statistical measurements, Cruz broke through as a Fantasy stud last year. His .950 OPS ranked eighth among players with at least 375 at-bats. His 3.7 Fantasy points per game in Head-to-Head leagues ranked fifth among all outfielders. He was a plus contributor in all five Rotisserie categories. But he played only 108 games. That isn't anything new for him. He has yet to play more than 128 games in a season, and considering his hamstrings are almost always the reason, you can't write it off as a freak occurrence. Cruz has elite potential for sure, but his average draft position doesn't seem to account for the likelihood he'll get less than 400 at-bats.

ouch this guy aint your biggest fan msu

Mike Stanton, OF, Marlins (Roto: Rd. 7, H2H: Rd. 8): Nobody doubts Stanton's power potential after he hit 22 homers in only 359 at-bats as a rookie, but based on his average draft position, he could hit 35 this year and still be a disappointment. The 21-year-old has enough shortcomings to suggest he's going to be a one-trick pony, at least at this early stage of his career. His strikeout rate of one every 2.9 at-bats was on the level of Mark Reynolds and didn't improve much over the course of the year. And as Reynolds showed last year, anyone who strikes out that much needs a lot of luck just to hit in the .250-.260 range. Yes, Stanton may hit 35 homers, but a .235 batting average is even more likely.

Matt Wieters, C, Orioles (Roto: Rd. 10, H2H: Rd. 11): Never in Fantasy has a player gotten so much credit for so little results. Now two years into Wieters' big-league career, Fantasy owners continue to draft him on blind faith, hoping he'll eventually live up to the potential that made him Baseball America's No. 1 prospect entering 2009. Yeah, he could this year, but with no clear evidence of him turning the corner, a 10th-round pick seems like more than a little bit of a reach, especially when a proven high-end catcher like Geovany Soto is still available. And if Soto isn't still available in your league, you have plenty of other positions to shore up at that point in the draft. You don't need to be throwing up a Hail Mary pass.

BA doesnt mean shite in our league.


If he hits 35 bombs ill be thrilled because he'll have a great ops

On XM radio they were gushing about the possibility of those doubles turning into homeruns due to: the lineup getting better in KC with all the prospects; hes only 24; more power with age.

my middle infield is weak
