  • 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.

Dailey Report 1/4/09

Posted by rotoenquire on January 4, 2009

Takashi Saito RP formerly of the LAD, have had talks with the Red Sox on a one year deal.  Could be a low cost, low risk, high reward guy.

Todd Helton 1B is taking it slow with his rehab from back surgery.

Ken Griffey Jr. OF/DHhas had several teams show interest, It appears the Rays and M’s are the frunt runners.

Shawn Hill SP told MASN that the surgery on his elbow went well and rehab is  on schedule.

The Pittsburgh Gazette reports that Paul Maholm, Ian Snell, Zake Duke and Ross Olendorf are locks in the rotation leaving a battle for the Fifth spot between Jeff Karstens, Tom Gorzelanny, Phil Dumatrait.  I would also like to add Daniel McCutchen to that list, he was a non roster invitee.

With Derek Lowe SP now out of the picture for the Mets, Jon Garland SP appears to be the next target.  A move for him to the NL could be huge for fantasy owners looking for a guy on the cheap.

Jason Varitek C looks to be making a return to the red Sox with a 2 year deal.
