Baseball Prospect Report: Aaron Crowe
rotoprofessor.com — At 23-years old, if you knew nothing about the path Aaron Crow took after entering the 2008 draft you would probably just assume that he’d already be making an impact in the Major Leagues. Armed with a fastball that can touch the mid-90s, as well as a slider (which mlb.com called his best pitch)... (more) Baseball Prospect Report: Aaron Crowe
Kevin Correia: 2010 Fantasy Breakout or Bust?
rotoprofessor.com — It has long been considered that Kevin Correia could develop into a usable fantasy pitcher, though the results had never previously been there. He had shown signs, like pitching to a 2.54 ERA as a starting pitcher in 2007. However, after getting an extended look in 2008 (19 starts) and posting...

Colby Rasmus: A 2010 Sleeper?
rotoprofessor.com — Amidst all the excitement swirling around a possible Cy Young winner, the MVP-type season for Albert Pujols and the re-signing of Matt Holliday, the Cardinals’ individual success stories this season aren’t just related to their big-name players.

Prospect Report: Todd Frazier
rotoprofessor.com — The Cincinnati Reds selected Todd Frazier, a product of Rutgers, with the 34th selection in the 2007 MLB Draft.

Where Should Fantasy Owners Draft Johan Santana?
Where Should Fantasy Owners Draft Johan Santana?
rotoprofessor.com — Johan Santana had long been considered the best pitcher in baseball. From 2004-2008 there wasn’t a pitcher who could touch him, posting some remarkable numbers, especially when you consider that he called the AL home up until 2008: (more) Where Should Fantasy Owners Draft Johan Santana?
Baseball Prospect Report: Kyle Drabek
rotoprofessor.com — Kyle Drabek, the son of former NL Cy Young Award winner Doug Drabek, has seen his name pop up in trade rumors quite a bit in recent months. With the Phillies angling to acquire Cliff Lee (which they did without parting with Drabek) and potentially Roy Halladay, it would make sense that teams...

Gordon Beckham: An Early 2010 Projection
Gordon Beckham: An Early 2010 Projection
rotoprofessor.com — Gordon Beckham is certainly a hot topic now, and not just because he’s a candidate for the Rookie of the Year Award (though I don’t think he deserves the trophy in a deep AL class). As far as fantasy owners are concerned, the much more important story is his move to second base... (more) Gordon Beckham: An Early 2010 Projection
Happy Veterans Day

Kendry Morales: Mark Teixeira 2.0?
by Jimmy Hascup A year ago the Angels allowed Mark Teixeira to bolt town, leaving what many thought was a huge vacancy in the middle of their lineup. Doing very little in the offseason to fill that void, the Angels left the keys to first base to their solid, but unspectacular ...

Fantasy GM: What Would I Do If I Were Running The Mets?
Fantasy GM: What Would I Do If I Were Running The Mets?
rotoprofessor.com — It’s easy to sit and write an article saying that the Mets should sign Jason Bay, trade for Adrian Gonzalez and Roy Halladay and who knows what else. To examine the Mets offseason like they are working without the constrictions of a budget would be a mistake. They aren’t the Yankees. (more) Fantasy GM: What Would I Do If I Were Running The Mets?
Will Craig Kimbrel be the Next Braves Closer?
rotoprofessor.com — The Braves always appear to be a team that is looking for a player to close out tight games. This season they used both Rafael Soriano and Mike Gonzalez, unable to settle on which would be the best solution to their problems. Could a long-term answer be sitting on their doorstep?

Fantasy Impact: Hermida to Boston
The Boston Red Sox have acquired Jeremy Hermida from the Florida Marlins in exchange for a pair of minor league left-handers in Hunter Jones and Jose Alvarez. Neither pitcher is considered a top prospect, as both are relief pitchers who offer little-to-no upside for fantasy baseball ...
