  • 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.

Hot Stove Rumors

Twins:  Thirdbase is still a point of concern for the Twins.  Adrian Beltre seems to be the best suited for them, but when he added Minn. to his no trade group, Beltre stiffled the talks.  Beltre could change that if he maybe gets a long term deal out of it.

Cubs:  Milton Bradley has allot of suiters, but I feel Chicago is his best destination.  Bradley wants to win and there his best shot.

Devils Rays:  Milton Bradley is also on there radar, however Adam Dunn and is big bat could be what the doctor orders.

Mariners:  The M’s are nto done dealing, there still in the hopes of trading Adrian Beltre, Jarrod Washburn and Kenji Johjima.  Looking to now add quality after the Mets deal that added allot of quantity.  The Twins, Mets, Braves, Red Sox and Houston could all be destinations. Ken Griffey Jr. looks to be on the return to Seattle as a DH for the rebuilding club.  Another destination point for Orlando Hudson.  Jeff Clement C could be the odd man out and also added to any deal.

Angels:  A Jason Giambi 1B/DH deal could be  done soon,  Giambi’s price could go up if a bidding war starts with T.B., who is also interested.

Yankees:  Could be trying to still trade Melky Cabrera, Robinson Cano, Ian kennedy, Philip Hughes.  There goal would be to add a solid Defensive Centerfielder and some Bull-Pen help.  This would also let them go after Orlando Hudson to play second.

Baltimore:  Could Brian Roberts be headed to the Cubs?  Or is it the White Sox.  A report from MASN say’s Gavin Floyd could be a part of a deal.  However the DeRosa trade kinda clears a better path for Roberts.
