AL Central
 

1.      Tigers : They might have arguably the best line-up in all of baseball 1-9, but their pitching, in my opinion, is suspect past the first three starters and especially their bullpen! As good as their hitting will/should be in ’08, their pitching might be the great neutralizer. Outside of Verlander, there are some […]

 AL East
Tampa Bay Rays
C - Dioner Navarro: AAA quality with a VORP of -4.0
1B - Carlos Pena: A breakout year in which he finally reached the peak that scouts thought he should have reached a few years ago. Better late than never might be his new motto!
2B - Akinori Iwamura: A decent first year […]

AL East
Baltimore Orioles
C - Ramon Hernandez: He had an injury plagued year in 2007 and it had to affect his numbers. He usually hit better than they were last year. I expect him to bounce back in 2008 if healthy.
1B - Kevin Millar: Fantasy owners might appreciate that Millar is also available as a DH, […]

AL East –
Toronto Blue Jays
C – Gregg Zaun: Although he only hit .242, his OBP was nearly 100 points better due to his high walk rate which was among the Jays’ highest in 2007.
1B – Lyle Overbay/Matt Stairs: I never thought I’d hear myself say (or rather write) this, but the versatility of Matt […]

This interview is with Ohad from Fish@Bat which can be found by clicking this link or you can catch him here at BallHype. My idea was to see the reaction of a Marlins fan to the recent trade with the Tigers, their two World Series titles and how they later dismantle the teams after they […]

AL East: New York Yankees C – Jorge Posada: incredible year for anyone, but far more impressive for a catcher his age. When will his bat fall off the charts?
1B – Shelley Duncan/Jason Giambi/Doug Mientkiewicz: Giambi can’t last physically at 1B anymore & Mientkiewicz can’t seem to hit anymore (he use to be a .300 hitter […]

AL East: Boston Red Sox
C – Jason Varitek : Rock solid defensively except for a weak arm. OK bat with pop. Great tactician!
1B – Kevin Youkilis : Great first half, average second, but great glove work throughout 2007!
2B – Dustin Pedroia : Rookie of the Year, 4th in OBP, 3rd in BA, 2nd in doubles […]

This is an article I found & I thought it was worth publishing on the site. This is one Tampa Bay Rays fan’s perspective, but I think Joe Gonzales, the author of the article below, has reason to be excited. Good for them! The Red Sox and Yankees could use the extra competition to stay sharp […]

Pete’s Perspective
    The font page of their team website should read: Under Construction! What in the world are they doing?! While they’re at it, they might as well trade Hanley Ramirez, Kevin Gregg and Dan Uggla as well! All three would get a lot of interest, especially Ramirez. I bet they could get a lot for […]

Pete’s Perspective
     There’s not much here to write home about! This is still the old Montreal Expos, just in new duds & a new city. Albeit, a big time US city that happens to be our nation’s capital. What better place to host a team from our “National Past Time”? They deserve better than this, or […]
