  • Players To Watch #1

    Cameron Maybin OF Fla, This is his year. The prize player from the trade just a little over a year ago is poised to let lose. Maybin has been on this list before and is still very young. A eventual 5 tool guy he is a must own this year in all formats.

  • Players To Watch #2

    Matt Wieters C Balt, With R. Hernandez being traded to the reds in the NL. Matt is taking over the young pitching staff of the O's. Will hit for AVG. and be solid defensively, look for power numbers to come along as the year and his career progresses.

  • Players To Watch #3

    Neftali Feliz SP Tex, The Rangers needed to start building a pitching staff and no better a young cornerstone than Feliz. He is as close to a sure thing as you can find right now. A power right arm who moved up quickly from low A to Dble A last season will make the jump to the majors this year. If not out of spring training then not to far into the season the Rangers will need to give him a call.

  • Player To Watch #4

    Aaron Poreda SP ChiW, People when they think of the Vasquez trade to the Braves think it was a dump of somoene Ozzie just did not like, BUT there was more too it and this Left hander is the real reason why. Look for huim to get a mid year call up and he will not dissapoint.

  • Player To Watch #5

    Jason Heyward OF Atl, He will make schafer expendable for the Braves if they are in need of mroe pitching. Heyward is there best bat in the minors and a real star in the making. If you can grab him and stash him do so. Heyward wil be up soon enough and there to stay.

  • Player To Watch #6

    Jeremy Hillickson SP T.B., I always try to find that one person most are not talking about, but have the chance to be someone everyone is talking about in a year or two. Hillickson is that guy, with such huge names ahead of him on the prospect epth chart Hillickson gets lost in the mix. I feel he could be the stable force that holds all these great young arms together. Someone to hold onto in AL only leagues and as he proves himself someone to grab in mix'd leagues as well.

2007 Free Agents (SS)

Posted by rotoenquire on May 27, 2006

Here is a position by position look at next years class of Free Agents to get you ready for next year.

ShortStops

Jose Hernandez:  An aging Hernandez is going to find him self out of work with the Pirates.  Look for him to be traded, he does not have much value however.  The Pirates have to many options here and some young guys who are ready to come up.

Craig Counsell:  With Stephen Drew ready for a full time job and Counsell batting over .300 that promote wont happen till Counsell is traded.  Look for that to happen soon in a deal with the Mets.

Alex Gonzalez:  Will Pedroia play second or shortstop that is the question.  Whatever position they promote him too that player playing there now won't be back.  Second Base looks like his new home.  So Gonzalez could be back or Counsell could be a nice option as well.

The ShortStop list is a short one next year.  Here is the other free agents who will be out there.

J. Castro, R. Clayton, A. Cora, R. Martinez, T. Perez, D. Relaford, J. Vizcaino, D. Easley

Tomorrow we will take a look at Centerfielders

2007 Free Agents (3rd Base)

Posted by rotoenquire on May 27, 2006

Here is a position by position look at next years class of Free Agents to get you ready for next year.

Third Base

Aaron Boone:  The Indians with Andy Marte being a prospect with the job ready for next year and a rising prospect in Kevin Kouzmanoff also a Third Basemen.  Boone will not be returning and could find himself with the Giants or Phillie next year.

Tony Batista:  With the Twins ready to go younger after this season.  Look for Matt Moses to get the call.  Batista also could figure into the Phillies plans.

David Bell:  A defensive wizard with a clutch bat.  Bell could find himself with a temp job for K.C. while young stud Alex Gordon gets ready.

Vinny Castillo:  Retirement could happen at seasons end.

Jeff Cirillo:  Taking the place of Castillo in Sand Diego.  His resurgent bat and solid defense will be a slight upgrade from Castillo.

Pedro Feliz:  The Giants are going for a youth movement and Feliz could be traded before seasons end.  The Phillies could be interested here.

Aubrey Huff:  Look for him to be traded or re-signed if the price is right.  Tampa Bay won't let a guy go for nothing and are very cost conscious.  The Giants could be a destination as well.

Joe Randa:  He was only filler till Jose Bautista was ready.  With Bautista and J. Hernandez and F. Guzman all able to handle the third base job Randa is expendable.

Other Third Base Free Agents:

E. Alfonzo, R. Aurilia, M. Bellhorn, S. Spezio, G. Blum, T. Graffanino.

Tomorrow we will take a look at Short Stops.
