It’s amazing what a career-year could do for a player and his perception to fantasy owners, right? Less than two years ago, Cliff Lee was sent to the minor leagues due to a disastrous season where he sported an 11.70 ERA over his last four starts before the demotion (and finished the season [...]
There was a time that Michael Young was one of the top SS in all of baseball, but he enters 2009 as the Rangers 3B. That certainly is going to bring a major hit to his fantasy value moving forward, but since he will maintain eligibility at SS for one more season he should hold [...]

Here’s a look at Outfielders who should bounce back from subpar 2008 seasons.
Carl Crawford - Despite Tampa Bay’s success last year, Crawford didn’t perform at his typical level. Crawford was limited to 109 games, which can explain the 69 Runs, 121 Hits, 12 Doubles, 8 HRs, 57 RBI, and 25 [...]
We return with the latest Ask the Expert, this time with John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer (to read his blog, click here). He gave us some insight into the team’s plans for their young starters, their line-up, what to expect from Jay Bruce and so much more. Let’s take a look at what he [...]
Last night I participated in a Mock Draft which featured writers from foxsports.com and bloggers/writers from Bleacher Report. It was an honor to be invited and had a great time. The league was set up as your basic 5×5 and I had the 12th pick. Normally, I hate that spot, but some how I managed [...]
Angel Salome - Catcher - Prospect/Deep Sleeper
The Brewers have Jason Kendall as their starting catcher, meaning that any offensive production a minor league catcher can bring to the table will give him an inside track. In 516 AB, Kendall hit .246 with 2 HR, with the team even toying the concept of hitting the pitcher [...]
Are you an owner who likes to wait until the tail end of your draft to select closers? A lot of people are employing that type of strategy these days, so you may have to dig deep. Here are the five guys that I would target in an effort to get some cheap saves:
Frank Francisco [...]
Emmanuel Burriss - 2B/SS - Moderate Sleeper
With a chance to win the starting 2B job, Burriss has the opportunity to emerge as a viable option for fantasy owners looking for a cheap source of steals. He swiped 13 bases in his abbreviated major league stint last season (240 AB), though that is just a hint [...]
Brett Myers, is he an ace in the hole or is he a disaster waiting to happen for fantasy owners? Is he the pitcher who was banished to the minor leagues in 2008 to regain his form, or is he the solid pitcher he proved to be in 2005 & 2006?
Let’s first take a look [...]
Once again, it’s time for my weekly “Wild Predictions”. If you are new to Rotoprofessor, keep in mind that these are occurrences that I wouldn’t expect to happen more then 20% of the time (in most cases, the chances are a lot less then that). How far-fetched are this week’s predictions? Let’s take a look…
