okay bro check it out, with a player by player analysis

1b- Justin Morneau...... Last year's AL MVP will cost you, but he's worth it. Only three AL first basemen should hit .300 with 35+ homers and Morneau's the youngest. He's patient too. Morneau took half his walks in August and September, when teams started being cautious with him.....should be good for 35/130/.310 for the year......
ss- Derek Jeter simply the best lol, Jeter's career year with RISP means he'll have a hard time duplicating his 2006 RBI numbers. He's still not worth a first-round pick, but is near the top of the second tier of multicategorical stars, and always has marquee trade value....he will still be good for 200 hits, 115 runs, 16homers or so, 80+ rbi's and a batting average of .320 on the year in new york....to go along with his 25-30 stolen bases every year....
of- Ichiro Suzuki.....The only question with Ichiro is how much will playing centerfield take out of him? He seemed fresh playing out there the final month-plus of '06, ending the year with 45 SB and a .322 average. This is Ichiro's free-agent year, and rumors abound he'll be elsewhere in '08. Expect another great season......i beleive he will have a hell of a season...look for him to give u about 10/60/.330 and steal around 40 for seattle...
of- Coco Crisp.....Coco's hand hurt all year, but nothing wrong with his legs (22 steals). At age 27, he has huge bounceback potential (20/20) as he should do just fine but not hitting at the top of that lineup will hurt some of his numbers just a bit....look for him to give you 17/60/.290 and steal 28 on the year in boston.....
of- Adam Dunn...Dunn is 27 this season, but there's reason for pause. His BA, OPS, RBI and R have all declined each year since 2004. Dunn is still one of the top power hitters in the majors, but he's death to team BA. Perfectly safe OF2 in OBP leagues. No longer qualifies at 1B.....should still be good for 40/100/.250 for the year but he has worked on his discipline and strikeouts so his BA could go up this year but not likely looking at his track record....
3b- Chipper Jones.... Chipper's OPS was over 1.000 last year for the first time since 2001, but he also hasn't topped 110 games in two years. Brilliant when he plays, but clearly won't play as much as you'd like. You want him on that wall. You need him on that wall. Just don't count on him being there for more than 120 games....28/90/.300 for the year in atlanta....
c- Micheal Barret.....Barrett hit 16 HR for the third time in three years, though he did it in just 375 ABs in '06. He also had a career-high .302 average and .885 OPS. A foul ball off his nether-regions ended his year on September 2, but he'll be okay for spring. In a league bereft of consistent fantasy catchers, he's solid....good for 15-20/70/.300 which are rather excellent numbers for a catcher...
3b- Brandon Inge....3B is deep enough that you don't have to reach for a guy who has watched his BA freefall in exchange for mid-20's HR power. But if Inge is going too cheap, remember he posted second-half BA of .290 while retaining respectable pop. Very solid AL CI with end-of-bench potential in Mixed.....look for him to get ya 23/80/.270 on the year in detroit.....
of- Mike Cameron....His batting eye isn't 20/20, but his season was. Or something like that. He'll hurt your average, but help you with his speed and power....give you 23/80/.265 and 25 stolen bases as well...
of- Chris Duncan.........Duncan obliterated his career bests in most categories last season. If Duncan were 21, we'd understand, but the guy will be 26 this season. Most likely he sneaked up on the NL, and he'll have problems this year, but this could be legit growth. Assume the former....good for 25/80/.270 on the year in st lous.......great sleeper bro....
ss- Jonny Peralta....Peralta was the walking poster-boy for the sophomore slump in 2006, and we believe he'll bounce back in 2007 since his peripherals stayed solid. His struggles actually give him sleeper status, and you shouldn't hesitate to grab him later/cheaper than you did last season while expecting improved results...20/75/.275 on the year in a very underrated very powerful lineup out in cleveland where taht team will do better than expected.....
of- Xavier Nady.....In the first half of 2006, fewer AB, higher power, lower AVG. In second half, the opposite. If he sees 500 AB, expect both to even out with a chance at 20 HR. OF4 in mixed, and OF3 in NL-only.......good for about 20/70/.270 for the year...has started out good...
ss- Stephen Drew......Drew has excellent physical skills, but his 2006 K/BB ratios suggest he's in line for a consolidation year in 2007. Do not pay for a .280-25-80 season, or you'll be sorry....so he woont play as good as he can this yera but he will get ya 15/70/.270 and steal 10 bases on the year in arizona.......
of- Moises Alou....Alou is to old to count on for 500 ABs, but he can offer average corner outfield production anyway. Shea depressed power in 2006, so don't expect Alou to mach last year's homer rate, but in a better line-up, his RBI and Runs should be fine in NL leagues, passable in Mixed....look for 20/70/.280 on the year in new york with the mets...
of- Brad Wilkerson.....Everyone thought Texas ripped Washington off when they got Wilkerson and prospects for Alfonso Soriano. Oops. His shoulder was never right in '06, and he had surgery in August. He still should be a good OBP guy, but how much pop is really left? The fact that both he and Frank Catalanotto are lefty hitters doesn't help....good for 17/60/.250 on the year out in texas....
of- Dave Roberts...If healthy, Roberts gets you 40 SB. If on the DL, Roberts gets you hypertension. Expect some of both this year. Even with the speed, his runs are disappointing.... but here is what he will give you on the year in san diego: 4/40/.285 steal 45 bases and score about 80 runs on the year....
3b- Pedro Feliz......do you think pedros batting eye getting worse? Success is based on how feared Barry Bonds is by opposing pitchers. Since the answer is Kinda, expect right at 20 HR and a terrible AVG....he is still good due to eligibilty at multiple positions so that raises his value and the fact that he hits 20+ is good look for him to go 20/80/.250 on the year with san fran..
c- Bengie Molina....The NL should be nice change for Molina, as will the NL West ballparks.....the numbers for him should look like 16/60/.270 on the year in san fran.....
of- Shawn Green.........Faded terribly over the second half and no longer posseses notable power. Expect fewer games and ABs than in the past, making him an unremarkable NL-only OF4. Won't hurt you if you don't reach, but the lack of upside makes him less attractive......good for 16/60/.280 on the year...of course barring injury....
of- Andre Ethier.....All Ethier did in the minors was hit for average, get on base, and show signs of power to come. Despite a late-season slump that left him on the bench down the stretch, he's a fine OF4 in NL, OF5 in mixed. Better than that in keeper formats. It's okay to like him a lot....look for him to go 13/75/.310 on the year in los angeles....
of- Luis Gonzalez.......gonzo....Few players can say I am as good now as I was 10 years ago but Gonzo can. Problem is, he was a light-hitting corner OF who could take a walk back then, and he is again. Will start for the Dodgers, but don't expect real power or production. Do expect age-related injuries and several youngsters jockeying to steal his gig. Pass.....he wont really put up great numbers but you will expect these out of him...11/50/.270 for the year......

and as for the pitching
sp- Roy Halladay........ A true fantasy ace, Halladay won't lead the league in anything, except maybe quality starts. Consistency is the key to his game. He'll give you a bedrock of 220 quality innings on which to build you pitching staff, and is as good a bet as anyone to lead the AL in wins. Remember that his 2005 season was cut short by a freak line-drive off the leg, not by a recurring physical ailment.....so his numbers should look like 18-7 with an era of 3.15 and around 160 strikeouts on the year in toronto.....
sp- Roy Oswalt....Even in the first half of 2006, Oswalt had good ratios. His second-half improvement might be a harbinger of what to expect in 2007. In mixed and NL-only leagues he's an SP1 with an outside shot at 20 wins.....so in houston he should be poised to have a 17-9 record will striking out around 180 and era around 3 for the entire year in houston......
sp- Tim Hudson.............Tim Hudson too had a rather good first start this season...Was arguably the worst pitcher in the NL during July last year, yet still went 2-2 in the month. No longer elite, his ERA and WHIP will continue slow slide, but should get some wins and not hurt you. ....look for him to go 14-11 with era around 4.10 and strikeout 145 on the year in atlanta with the braves........
sp- Pedro Martinez.......Supposed to be back by late July from rotator cuff surgery, Pedro claims he's healing fast and will throw harder when he returns. Don't pay for hype, but do invest in a mid-season boost. Pedro will find a way to win with whatever stuff he has. That's what he does. ...expect a 6-5 record with 100k and era around 3 and a half for the year when he does return
p- prior isnt even in the majors...
sp- Chuck James is a great sleeper..... James is a good lefty starter who had a strong debut last season. He is short and has mechanical issues so he is a durability and stamina risk, and you should spend accordingly....look for him to go 14-9 with an era under 3.90 for the year and 160k as well....
rp- Joel Zumaya....Freakshow injury of the year: hurt his wrist/forearm playing too much Guitar Hero last season. He is wicked hard to hit, let alone homer off, but he can be beaten because his command disappears at times. Is already a very good reliever, and could move into the elite soon. But who knows how many saves he'll get?......
p- Chris Capuano.....Capuano's 5.17 ERA after the Break screams Beware! but the fact that he cut his walks from 91 in '05 to 47 in '06 while striking out the same number of hitters (.77 K/IP) is a good sign. He's not an All-Star (okay, well, he was in '06), but hes a good investment late in the draft so he should produce pretty good wiht numbers such as going 12-12 with 160k and era around 4.15 on the year for the milwaukee brewers and company.......
p- Derek Lowe....Last two seasons' stats are nearly identical except he went 12-15 in '05 and 16-8 in '06. Team should be good again in '07, so expect the higher win total. Cut walk rate in half after the break and let opponents beat the sinker into the ground. Nice SP2. If he's available as an SP3 in NL-only leagues, he's a bargain.....good for about 16-11 era around 3.80 and 150 strikeouts as well......

overall your team is relatively stacked......but a few people shouldnt be on that list....heres a list of sleepers if you change your mind......
c- iannetta who could have breakout year
1b- lyle overbay who hits for average some power and some rbis as well....if hes gone look for phelps who could do good with the yanks hitting 4 homers in spring training
2b- ty wigginton who can hit the deep ball and is eligible at multiple positions
3b- iwamura has been promising to start as well who will hit for average
ss- omar vizquel will get ya plenty of sb and hit for a solid aveage in san fran...
of- elijah dukes who has shown promisinig power to start the year....
of- jonny gomes will hit alot of hw as well if healthy
of- brad hawpe is good for around 20 homers in colorado
util- nick markakis is going to have a stellar year for baltimore this kid is here to stay

and for your rotation no closers???? you should probably grab one.....your starters are all good cept for mark prior ...heres a list of sleepers if you want to drop him....
Sp- Jason jennings is going to have a very solid year in houston proving that on his first outing
sp- clay hensley who has a good k rate should do fine in sd if healthy
rp- dan wheeler could close out the year in houston if lidge cant go....
rp- valverde could shock alot of people has kept ball down this yera and could save around 30 games
p- wainwright who also has kept era around 1 this spring.......
p- jeremy sowers who proved he could pitch in cleveland last year shall repeat again thsiy ear
p- westbrook is consistent as they come
and you could even add ian snell, gil meche, or daniel cabrera to that list and keep an eye on adam loewen as well

hope i helped
goodluck
and have fun!!!!...Show more

thank you for asking this question as you supply me a raffle to vent. the main over rated team palms down is Wisconsin. they're solid, i will supply them that, yet not #5. final 365 days they did not play Ohio State it is why they went 11-a million. once you play in a convention the place 6 out of 11 communities are not even bowl eligible, you do not play the ideal team, and lose to the 2d ideal, you extra appropriate circulate 11-a million. Their maximum surprising win in the ordinary season strengthen into against 8-4 Penn State. I mean whoopdy do! I picked the authentic 3 communities in the huge ten to lose their bowl video games final 365 days and strengthen into top on 2 out of three. by some potential, Wisconsin controlled to conquer Darren Mcfadden for their in common terms surprising win of the 365 days which in my view nonetheless isn't adequate to be ranked #5. EDIT: Luv to holiday. i'm not a badgers fan yet apparently i recognize them extra appropriate than you. Wisconsin did not play Ohio State. They performed Michigan and lost via 14. they did not play Ohio State in 2006, it is why they went 11-a million. in case you like the badgers lots get YOUR info straight away. Or is it in basic terms as puzzling so which you would be able to have self belief they're ranked #5 without playing Ohio State as that's for me?...Show more

First mistake CHIPPER JONES with a nickname like Chipper I think A he deserves to be slapped and B he must have a horrible real first name Second mistake you have no big hitters that r relible your best is Adam Dunn who stikes out 250 times a year you have solid defense not gr8t but solid and your pitching is Solid too until Mark Prior, Tim Hudson and Pedro is hurt...Show more

I guess saves don't count in this league, because you have no relief pitching. They sure let you carry a lot of players on your bench, or your in a league with only a few teams. I would say you have a lot offense but I am guessing so do a few other teams in your league. Get rid of Green and Luis Gonzalez and get some speed back, or relief pitching....Show more
