  • 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.

Players To Get Cheap, That Others May Have Dismissed

Posted by rotoenquire on March 10, 2007

Now that the Spring Training part of the season has started for Baseball.  We can take a look at who may have been overrated, underrated or forgotten.  Here are some players to consider trying to gte late or cheap on draft day.

Ryan Klesko 1B S.F.  Should get the Firstbase job out of Spring Training.  Look for Klesko to finally hold true to being a comeback player this year.

Jim Edmonds OF Stl.  Injurys have slowed the once dominate Edmonds.  I still see him as a good option if in need of a good outfielder in deeper position leagues.

Brian Giles OF S.D.  Much has gone from what used to be a top tear guy on draft day.   Still Giles is solid and could be cheap to get.

Jose Guillen OF Sea.  Guillen’s arm feels great and should be in the opening day line-up.  Look for him to pop between 25-30 homers this year, No Seriously!

Josh Hamilton OF Cin.  3 years removed from a tragedy story he has come back on the seen like he has never missed any time.  Could end up being the swing man in the outfield this year.  Maybe even stealing a position by mid season.

Eric Gange CL Tex.  The Rangers are so confident in Gagne that they are actually shopping Akinori Otsuka.

John Patterson SP Wash.  Comming back from injury, Patterson is still the only lock in a Nationals rotation with so many question marks it looks like an SAT exam.

John Thomson SP Tor.  In 06 Thomspon had a chance to really break out but injuries did not help that cause.  Lokk for Thomson to have a return year to what we saw of him early in his career.
