Key Stats : He has missed ten or more starts in a season seven straight years. He has struck out 9.4 batters per 9 innings for his career. He once threw a change up so devestating the hitter was out on his front foot before the pitch was thrown. He is the most interesting man in fantasy ...

Key Stats : So Ryan Dempster didn't pitch as well as he did in 2008. We knew that was going to happen coming into 2009, so I'm over it. The question to me was whether he would resort back to the old Dempster of 2002-2004 when he had his first try as a starter. In those three seasons Dempster ...

Key Stats : If Neftali Feliz was intimidated to be playing Major League Baseball at the age of 21 last season, he should pitch intimidated all the time. In the first 12 appearances of his career Feliz struck out 28 hitters and walked one. He gave up one earned run in 22 innings. There's no need ...

Key Stats : 2009 was a failure for Alex Rios . Yet he hit 17 home runs and stole 24 bases. He will be 29 next year, so he has the potential to bounce back in terms of where he fell in batting average and OPS. Skeptics Say : No matter how the numbers are shaped a .691 OPS is terrible. The ...

Key Stats : If you were looking for an Elvis pun, it's not here. Let's just talk about boring numbers. Elvis Andrus hit .280 in the second half versus .253 in the first half. He had 13 doubles in the second half compared to just 4 in the first half. He had more runs, RBI, and steals in the ...

Key Stats : Carlos Zambrano has been so overrated the last two seasons that he will head into 2010 as underrated. In other words he has reached the Adam Sandler point of his career. Zambrano's Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore years were in 2003 and 2004 when he had a 2.75 and 3.26 ERA. His ...

Key Stats : The second half of 2009 was a coming out party for Carlos Gonzalez . He hit 12 home runs, stole 11 bases, hit .320 and had a .992 OPS after the All-Star break. This was all done in only 194 at-bats. Given that pace over a full season's worth of at-bats as a leadoff hitter and he ...

Key Stats : The season that made Erik Bedard so great that Seattle thought trading Adam Jones, George Sherrill and others to Baltimore was a good idea was 2007. Bedard struck out 10.9 batters per 9 innings and held opponents to a .212 batting average that season. Last year, Bedard struck out ...

Key Stats : Garrett Jones slugged 21 home runs in only 314 at-bats last year. If his year at AAA and MLB was combined, he would have finished with 33 home runs. In addition he gives you the vintage Derrek Lee steals bonus as a first baseman. Jones stole 24 bases between MLB and AAA. Skeptics ...

Key Stats : Both the ERA and FIP were Blogger: Fantasy Baseball Hot Stove - Create Post over 5.00 last season for Ervin Santana . No matter how you perceive statistics, he was far from a top 15 pitcher in 2009 when MLB.com, ESPN, Yahoo, CBS and Fox all predicted he would be a top 15 pitcher . ...

Key Stats : Rafael Soriano struck out 12.13 batters per 9 innings last season which was better than Carlos Marmol's ( number 147 ) 11.31 batters per 9 innings in 2009. In fact only Jonathan Broxton had a better strikeout rate among closers with at least ten saves. Skeptics Say : Can he stay ...

Key Stats : As good a year as Michael Cuddyer had in 2009, he only set one significant career high. Outside of the 32 home runs nothing he did in 2009 ranked as a top total for him which leads to the belief that his 2007 and 2008 seasons were the fluke rather than his 2009. Skeptics Say : ...

Key Stats : Jered Weaver had a better fantasy season in 2009 than he did in 2008. His Yahoo rank was 97 this past season and 302 in 2008. Yet by the numbers, it is definitely debatable which season was better. Weaver's strikeouts per 9 innings was down, his walks per 9 innings were up, and his ...

Key Stats : Carlos Marmol and Kevin Gregg combined for 38 saves last season. Marmol had 15 of them, but going into 2010 Lou Pinella claims the job is entirely Marmol's meaning that all 38 of those saves could be his. If Marmol had 38 saves last season that would have put him in a tie for 6th. ...

Key Stats : There just isn't as much excitement getting up in the morning and seeing that Jason Kubel is in your lineup. He plays for a small market team and is probably the fifth most important hitter in that team's lineup. Despite the rest of the league yawning as he gets selected, Kubel is a ...

Key Stats : There is some bad news and some good news when it comes to Chris Coghlan . First the bad. He is going to lose second base eligibility since he appeared as a second baseman in just one game. Now the good. He hit an astounding .372 with 54 runs in the second half which makes him ...

Key Stats : Stephen Strasburg is the best name to start a long countdown with because he will be the most talked about player in fantasy baseball and perhaps all of baseball until April 4th. It's hard enough to find a pitcher who has a 92 MPH fastball, but Strasburg has a 92 MPH pick off move . ...
