Players I Love
Michael Pineda- Overpowering righty will begin the season in the Mariners rotation.
Dustin Ackley- Lead the Arizona Fall League in batting average, and showing his top prospect status.
Angel Pagan- Stole 37 bases last year for the Mets and will again have a full time job.
Adrian Gonzalez- 30 home runs and 100 RBI's in San Diego equals 40 home runs and 130 RBI's in Boston.
Daniel Hudson- Absolutely dominated NL hitters after his midseason trade.
Mark Reynolds- He may of hit under .200 last season, but over the past three seasons no third basemen has more home runs.
Clayton Kershaw- He a 2.91 ERA and 212 k's last season. He will begin next season at 23 years old.
Jon Lester- Lot's of innings, lot's of strikeouts, lot's of offense, possibly a cy young this season?
Jonathan Sanchez- For three straight seasons Sanchez has decreased his ERA and increased his strikeouts.
Dan Haren- Look for a better full season in Anaheim.
Gio Gonzalez- Great second half/great spring training= big big season.
John Danks- He gets overshadowed by Chicago's big hitters, but he is emerging as a true ace.
Max Scherzer- From June until the end of last season Scherzer had a 2.46 ERA.
Clay Buchholz- People don't draft him because of his low strikeout totals. He never had that problem in the minors, look for his strikeouts to increase.
Madison Bumgarner- Looked absolutely phenomenal in the playoffs. Will have a huge first full season in the bigs.
James McDonald- Ended last season with a bang for the Pirates. Most people don't know his name.
John Lackey- Boston thought his season was awful, but is a 4.4 ERA with 14 wins that bad? Has looked great this spring.
Carlos Marmol- I love closers who start out more than a lot of starters.
Joe Nathan- People are forgetting how dominate Nathan was before his injury. You can get him after all of the elite closers are gone.
Carlos Santana- He's being drafted outside of the top catchers, if he stays healthy he will be right there.
Robinson Cano- Cano is a step above everyone else at the position.
Sean Rodriguez- He will get more playing time this season, and 15 to 20 home runs is possible.
Gordon Beckham- Former top prospect is still only 24. Had a great second half.
Kevin Youkilis- The most consistent player in the Red Sox lineup. He will be deadly with the lineup around him this year.
Casey McGehee- People don't realize how much McGehee produces in the shadow of Fielder and Braun. Check his stats.
Troy Tulowitzki- With the shortstop class so shallow, Tulo is at the top of my rankings.
Alexei Ramirez- One of the few shortstops I'd be comfortable with starting after Tulo and Hanley.
Nelson Cruz- Cruz puts up massive numbers, now imagine if he can stay healthy.
Colby Rasmus- He could be looking at a 30-30 season sooner rather than later.
Drew Stubbs- See above^ Colby Ramus
Andres Torres- Check Torre's stats compared to Andrew McCutchen, and then check their average draft positions. Amazing.
Players I Hate
A.J. Burnett- The Yankees named Burnett their number 2 starter today. I still don't care.
Drew Storen- It was Storen's closer job to lose this spring training, and it looks like he lost it.
Russell Martin- Injury problems and a top prospect behind him doesn't bode well for Martin's fantasy owners.
Chase Utley- Utley is already having injury problems this spring training. I wouldn't draft him in the first 2 rounds.
Jose Bautista- People are taking him in the 3rd round, but I'd rather have Kevin Youkilis.
Aramis Ramirez- I can't remember the last time he had 550 at bats. I don't want that problem on my team.
Jimmy Rollins- J-roll has seemed to lost it the past couple seasons. Maybe he just got old real quick.
Jason Bay- I never liked Bay after his move to New York. I can't like him after last season either.
Shane Victorino- I'd much rather have the potential of Rasmus and Stubbs over Victorino's limited potential.
J.D. Drew- The injury prone 35 year old has top prospect Ryan Kalish wanting his job.
