Guess The Projection: February 8

This is something new we’re going to try.  I’m going to post my 2010 projection and a few clues and it’s your job to take your guess as to who it is in the comments.  The following day (I’ll leave it open for about 24 hours), I’ll post the answer in the comments.
Please let me [...]

Quick 2010 Projection: Brian Roberts

Once considered one of the best second baseman in baseball, Brian Roberts has seen his value steadily decrease in recent years.  The problem is that the bulk of his value has been tied to his legs and his stolen base total has gone from 50 to 40 to 30 over the past three years.  That [...]

Quick 2010 Projection: Roy Oswalt

Roy Oswalt is one of those pitchers who people are very decisive in their thoughts, you either consider him a viable fantasy option as a low-end #2/high-end #3 or you avoid him at all costs.  He’s one of those few, very polarizing players. 
As far as where I stand on him, let’s take a look at [...]

Quick 2010 Projection: Colby Rasmus

With the Cardinals likely parting ways with Rick Ankiel, the glut of outfielders would appear to be alleviated.  That means Colby Rasmus, thought of as a top prospect, will finally get regular at bats.  Coming off a rookie campaign that saw him hit .251 with 16 HR, 52 RBI and 72 R in 474 AB, [...]

Quick 2010 Projection: James Shields

After posting ERAs of 3.85 and 3.56 in 2007 and 2008, fans expected big things from James Shields last season, looking towards him to be one of the anchors of their fantasy rotations.  Unfortunately he fell flat, posting an ERA of 4.14 and a WHIP of 1.32.  Should we expect a bounce back in 2010?  [...]

Quick 2010 Projection: Javier Vazquez

Having been sent to the New York Yankees early this offseason, a once potential fantasy ace in Javier Vazquez has been reduced to only a decent option with upside in the strikeout department. Let’s take a look at where my current projections have him:
215.0 IP, 16 W, 4.10 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 205 K (8.58 K/9), [...]

Quick 2010 Projection: Ricky Nolasco

Jimmy Hascup already gave his thoughts on Ricky Nolasco (click here to read the full article), so let’s take a look at my Quick Projection for him for 2010:
205.0 IP, 15 W, 3.91 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 195 K (8.56 K/9), 54 BB (2.37 BB/9)
Thoughts:

His struggles last season were due to some of the worst luck [...]
