Roaming the OF
This week ill tackle the OF, this one took a bit of time, its 45 players long and alot of guys could move up a spot or two or down a spot or two. I racked my brain to put it in a finalized order, hope you guys like.
1. Alfonso Soriano - .280 - 115 - 43 - 110 - 36
Wont have another 40/40 season, but this is still enough to be the top dogg
2. Vladimir Guerrero - .315 - 102 - 36 - 120 - 12
He is starting to slip a little, but man those are still nice numbers. didnt get any help in the offseason, but when has he had help?
3. Carlos Beltran - .275 - 120 - 39 - 115 - 16
He is back as a fantasy stud, id like to see his average go up a bit
4. Carl Crawford - .308 - 94 - 20 - 82 - 57
He'll break 2o HR this year and keep his SB above 50.
5. Manny Ramirez - .320 - 107 - 36 - 121 - 0
Just Manny being Manny, any surprises here?
6. Matt Holliday - .318 - 112 - 33 - 118 - 9
Gotta love Coors field. could add double digit steals to these great power numbers
7. Jason Bay - .290 - 104 - 37 - 112 - 12
Didnt do as well as many expected last year but that was far from a bad season
8. Grady Sizemore - .298 - 128 - 31 - 89 - 26
Many will have him higher but i think that is more based on potential, not what he will actually do. he'll move up next year
9. Andruw Jones - .272 - 108 - 43 - 130 - 2
Contract year, he'll be great. Too bad he doesnt run anymore
10. Ichiro Suzuki - .331 - 114 - 11 - 52 - 44
Nothing surprising here
11. Carlos Lee - .302 - 103 - 41 - 118 - 16
Most people dont see the SB that he does get from year to year
12. Vernon Wells - .300 - 94 - 32 - 108 - 18
He will continue his rise, just got to prove his consistancy from year to year which he will
13. Bobby Abreu - .325 - 108 - 24 - 111 - 31
Doesnt have the power he used to but he is still running
14. Jermaine Dye - .302 - 100 - 36 - 108 - 5
I dont see him doing what he did last year, but he will still be great
15. Johnny Damon - .301 - 120 - 25 - 78 - 26
Been consistantly around these numbers for a while now
16. Hideki Matsui - .303 - 102 - 22 - 108 - 1
He will return from his injury ok, and play some more DH this year to protect him
17. Adam Dunn - .245 - 97 - 43 - 105 - 5
Hate the average, love the power
18. Jeff Francoeur - .271 - 89 - 31 - 109 - 0
Will form a great core with the Jones' this year
19. Juan Pierre - .285 - 100 - 2 - 35 - 54
SB is the only reason he is here
20. Delmon Young - .291 - 89 - 24 - 92 - 38
These are lofty expectations for a rookie i know, if he ups the pine tar, he should have great numbers
21. Gary Sheffield - .289 - 97 - 31 - 101 - 3
Wont have the type of numbers he would have had in new york, but will be a great addition to their lineup
22. Corey Patterson - .273 - 80 - 18 - 51 - 44
Nice power to go with all those SB. However, not the 30/30 guy he was projected as early in his career
23. Rocco Baldelli - .304 - 97 - 21 - 79 - 24
25/25 is not out of the question with this guy, wonder if he stays a dray all year long?
24. Torii Hunter - .282 - 92 - 33 - 104 - 14
Contract year should be a big one for Hunter.
25. JD Drew - .289 - 91 - 24 - 105 - 0
I like him hitting behind Manny in that park
26. Magglio Ordonez - .303 - 80 - 26 - 107 - 0
He is back healthy but not what he used to be, now is an underrated fantasy OF
27. Alex Rios - .297 - 75 - 19 - 79 - 13
Combo of HR and SB is what lands him this high, 20/20 isnt out of reach but i doubt it this year
28. Brad Hawpe - .286 - 72 - 24 - 91 - 3
Will continue to improve, helping to form a great fantasy style OF in COL
29. Pat Burrell - .261 - 81 - 30 - 97 - 0
I know people in PHI hate him but he is still a 30 HR 90 RBI guy
30. Mike Cameron - .266 - 84 - 21 - 80 - 21
Nice combo of power and speed, average is what keeps him down on this list
31. Raul Ibanez - .281 - 92 - 26 - 102 - 0
What a season last year, he just isnt that good. this looks about right
32. Barry Bonds - .265 - 62 - 25 - 71 - 0
If healthy he'll break the record, hopefully he doesnt get hurt, so we dont have to go through this again next year
33. Wily Taveras - .295 - 102 - 3 - 29 - 42
Move to COL will help him out
34. Nick Markakis - .281 - 76 - 23 - 81 - 1
I like the power he has in this park
35. Josh Willingham - .268 - 65 - 22 - 80 - 1
Another youngster that im sure i have lower than most, i just dont think he'll be as good as last year. Long term he will be better than this
36. Ryan Freel - .269 - 73 - 7 - 31 - 39
Speed, Speed, Speed, and at multiple positions
37. Chris Young - .287 - 94 - 18 - 61 - 28
I see him leading off in ARI, and doing a good job
38. Moises Alou - .302 - 65 - 27 - 82 - 0
Should fit in nicely in new york
39. Juan Rivera - .293 - 61 - 25 - 92 - 0
Broke out in LA last year, should continue to improve
40. Eric Byrnes - .275 - 83 - 27 - 90 - 13
Could be batting more towards the middle of the lineup this year, which will bring the SB down, if he doesnt, he'll break 20
41. Curtis Granderson - .263 - 84 - 18 - 65 - 10
good thing Ks down count in fantasy
42. Ken Griffey Jr - .250 - 58 - 24 - 69 - 0
Still has lots of power, but just know he will get hurt, even if they do move him to RF
43. Dave Roberts - .286 - 81 - 2 - 40 - 39
Another speed guy, he wont help you anywhere else, but you need SB to win
44. Aaron Rowand - .274 - 82 - 15 - 55 - 15
Another guy to help you get a few steals while providing a little of everything else, this is optomistic though
45. Jacque Jones - .270 - 70 - 23 - 78 - 11
not the 20/20 guy he used to be, but he still has power with double digit SB ability
A few more to keep your eye on:
Jeremy Hermida - I still think he'll be a great player
Jim Edmonds - Getting old and will be hurt at some time during the year, but still solid
Coco Crisp - Will move to the bottom of the lineup in Boston, hopefully it will lessen the pressure
Carlos Quentin - This guy is a long term power threat, this year he just misses the list
Jose Guillen - I think this guy is a sleeper this year, if he stays healthy he could be mid 20s HR
Questions:
12 returning owners from last year`s mixed 6x6 league want to go to keeper after this upcoming draft. It was suggested to keep up to five players each season. A draft pick ( beginning with the first round ) would be lost for each player retained. 22man rosters with 9 hitters/9 pitchers active. Should there be a time limit on how long you can keep a player? Are there any other rules you recommend. Thanks for your expertise.
Well i touched on this in an earlier post, but ill say it again. I would strongly recommend setting a number of keepers and leaving it at that. If you allow people to keep more and drop picks, you will have alot of teams with different numbers of keepers and stuff like that, just makes it much harder to work with. lots of leagues are now moving to only allow keeping a player for a certain amount of time, i think this is alot more realistic to some degree, however it makes it impossible for a team to keep a franchise player. I like the idea of allowing a team one franchise player that they can keep for as long as they want. Then maybe something like 3 years for anybody after that. Sounds like a good plan if you want to have a limit on how long you can keep players
