  • 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.

With The Season About To Get Underway…..

Posted by rotoenquire on January 21, 2008

It is time to start posting again.  I have been watching all the goings on this off season and I have some comments! Imagin that!

First off, the Seattle Mariners.  Yes I am starting with my home team.  The Mariners have been a non factor and have actually for the most part are standing pat or have done what they can too lose what they can.

J. Guillen OF K.C. is one that the M’s have the depth to replace.  Everyone is so high on Adam Jones, but to be honest I am not.  W. Balentin is going to be a much better over all player and should get the starting right fielding job.  The M’s should trade Jones now while he is of such high value.

I believe the Mariners should think as big as the Cubs, E. Bedard and B. Roberts in one big deal.  The reports are the Cubs are offering F. Pie CF, S. Gallagher SP, S. Marshell SP, R. Hill SP, R. Cedenno SS.  I believe the Mariners can match this deal and end up ahead.  On a side note I do not believe the Cubs are going to part with Hill on any deal.

Mariners should offer, C.S. Baek SP, J. Lopez 2B, A. Jones OF, G. Sherrill RP, R. Feierabend SP, C. Triunfel SS.  This would be huge for the M’s and a great pick up for the O’s .  Sherrill has all the makings of being a great set-up guy if not a closer for the O’s.  Baek and Feierabend should be good middle or bottom of the rotation starters.  Triunfel has huge upswing and the status on Jones is he is off hugh value.  Do it and do it quick.

Then again this is Seattle and Bavasi we are talking about, so odds are we the M’s fans will end up with squat!

Is Colorado actually being that smart.  The sighning of Tulo has got to be one of the smartest moves that club has made in years with a contract.  Tulo is now and will be one of the best starting SS in any league for years to come.

Detroit!!! Just give them the trophy now and be done with it. 

Florida got a star to make people forget of M. Cabrera.  Cameron Maybin is an unbelievabel talent and will be roaming the center field for years in Florida, well until they trade him as well.

 On a final note God! I hope the Yankees don’t get J. Santana SP Min I really hate the Yankees, but they would be smarter to keep all those young arms.
