Thoughts about Fantasy Baseball season

         


              My fellow fantasy baseball managers probably wondered where my blog posts about baseball were so they can delve into my thinking and lowball me with offers for players that I like. Sigh. But here goes, albeit a week late and with certain players already hurt (Michael Morse! Damn it!) and a lot of players already hurt.


1. Derek Jeter - off to a torrid start (thianks for saving it until this year, guy) but I don't buy it....The guy's nearing 40 and has passed all historic benchmarks (3,000 hits) that he needs. Also a candidate to miss some time later in the year. This could also be me being bitter about last year.


2. Still love Howie Kendrick this year. The Angels offense should be operating on all cylinders soon.

3. Matt Kemp, you're so good. Sigh.

4. Mike Napoli, I do believe you'll struggle until June or so.

5. Not buying David Freese's fast start, AND he's already hurt.

6. DO like Pablo Sandoval's start. He should guide that team to a bounceback season.

7. J.P. Arencibia.......sigh.

8. Blake Beaven and Kyle Drabek.......one of these unheard of guys could be very good this year.

9. Closer carousel continues into May......watch for news cuz there'll be plenty of changes due to all the early-season blowups.

10. Ryan Dempster solid candidate for 200 strikeouts, and cheap.

Fantasize on,

Robert Yan
