Fantasy Baseball: Pedro, Marte, Urbina
I just finished up my blogging rampage with a news and notes bit over at RotoAuthority. Get a peek at my Pedro projection, as well as thoughts on the Braves’ closer situation and Andy Marte‘s elbow.
Also of note: 1060west has strong words concerning Corey Patterson returning to play right field for the 2006 Cubs.
Red Sox & Yankees Sleepers
For all you fantasy nuts, I’ve taken a look back at some Yankees and Red Sox sleeper types I identified back in July. I did pretty well there; take a look.
Javier Vazquez White Sox Projection
As I promised, I’ve got a new Javier Vazquez projection up over at RotoAuthority. This should prove to be a nice addition to the back of the Sox rotation, even with a hefty number of home runs allowed.
Fantasy Baseball Sleepers: Orioles
Thought you might be interested in some Orioles sleeper-types, both past and present. Check out the new RotoAuthority article here.
Also, I bumped into the Fungoes baseball blog today and I liked it. Smart baseball commentary from a Cardinals fan. The author cautions patience before lambasting Walt Jocketty’s non-moves this winter, a somewhat rare point of view.
Willy Taveras Projection
Something for you fantasy baseball types to consider: can Willy Taveras match Juan Pierre in 2006? My projection is up at RotoAuthority.
Matt Morris San Francisco Projection
The always reliable Ken Rosenthal is reporting that Matt Morris is close to signing a deal with the Giants. This has been speculated for some time now, and I created a projection for Morris as a Giant about a month ago. I figured I’d try to get some more mileage out of that RotoAuthority post.
New at RotoAuthority today is my Prince Fielder projection. Prince is nearly a lock for 30 HR, and a must-have in fantasy baseball.
Finally, we’ve got new material at HoopsBuzz – seems that Ron Artest has demanded a trade.
Matt Murton Projection
A little reading material for you today:
RotoAuthority has the Matt Murton projection some of you have been clamoring for.
HoopsBuzz has a new post discussing the problems of Stephen Jackson and a possible Ron Artest for Peja Stojakovic trade.
Fire Joe Morgan has a scathing analysis of a ridiculous trade rumor that appeared in my inbox way too many times.
Alfonso Soriano’s Washington Projection
Some have suggested that RFK Stadium will kill Alfonso Soriano‘s fantasy value. Find out if that’s true by reading my Alfonso Soriano Washington Nationals 2006 Projection over at RotoAuthority.
Another website to check out today is Cub Town. Derek Smart writes intelligent posts about the Cubs with a healthy dose of stats mixed in. Highly recommended.
Andy Marte’s Boston Projection
For all of you fantasy baseball geeks, I’ve got a 2006 projection up for Andy Marte.
Post-Hype Sleepers: B.J. Upton
I invite all fantasy baseball players and any other interested parties to check out my latest RotoAuthority article concerning shortstop B.J. Upton. Seems like the D-Rays are doing things right for a change.
Other worthy reading material: we’ve got a second guest author on the HoopsBuzz blog now. His name’s Dennis and his first post is an informative analysis of a possible Grant Hill return. Go say hi.
Lastly, go check out one of my favorite blogs, SportsBlah. Greg and Mike have hilarious and engaging takes on happenings in the world of sports. For example, Greg’s take on the Rafael Furcal signing:
"Teams never learn. They sign players to large contracts and end up regretting them a few years later. In this case, I give the Dodgers until Thursday. By the weekend, the Dodgers office will have that ‘I can’t believe I went to Haiti and didn’t use condoms’ vibe to it."
