TIER 1 1. Joe Mauer – I’m less bullish on making him a top-10 pick like I was a couple of months ago, but with very little foul territory in Minnesota’s new park and his upside, don’t be shocked if he ends up worth a first round pick. TIER 2 2. Victor Martinez – If…

So I’m heading out to Phoenix on Friday for LABR. It will be my third year in the league, and while I finished second in 2008, last year was not very good, so I’m entering with extra motivation. Anyway, excuse my intermittent posts from now until next week – I’ll probably be able to get…

If you missed my first base rankings, click here. TIER 1 1. Alex Rodriguez – He’s battled injuries the last two seasons, but remember, he’s one year removed from a .314-54-143-154-24 campaign. In that lineup and homer-friendly park, there’s definitely a case to be made for him as the No. 1 overall pick. But because…

TIER 1 1. Albert Pujols – A no-brainer and the safest fantasy pick out there. TIER 2 2. Ryan Howard – He’s averaged 49.5 homers and 143 RBI over the past four seasons. And remember, his career BA is .279, so he’s not necessarily a killer in that category. 3. Miguel Cabrera – While he…

Check it out. I’m on during the 10-40 minute marks.

By Dalton Del Don I’m targeting Jay Bruce this year. After hitting just .223 last season, some luster appears to have worn off. He won’t come dirt cheap or anything, but right now his ADP is 121.62 – making him the 38th outfielder off the board, behind guys like Jason Kubel, Michael Cuddyer and even…

By Dalton Del Don Robinson Cano rebounded from a poor 2008 campaign last season, posting a .320-25-103-85 line. He doesn’t take many walks, but his contact rate is consistently so good (.90 last year), it wouldn’t surprise if he continues to bat around .320 like he did in 2009. Because he doesn’t steal many bags,…

By Dalton Del Don Partially because of Joe Mauer’s ridiculously good season last year, Victor Martinez’s output has been somewhat overlooked, but not since Pudge Rodriguez and Mike Piazza were in their primes has a backstop coming off a .303-23-88-108 campaign not been unanimously ranked as the No. 1 fantasy C the following year. His…

By Dalton Del Don What do we make of Aaron Hill, Adam Lind and Ben Zobrist? They were probably the biggest contributors to winning fantasy titles last year when you consider how cheaply they cost. Not one screams fluke, but it’s also worth noting that each were considered good, not elite prospects. Of course, that…

By Dalton Del Don I’ve already let my feelings be known about Joey Votto deserving the No. 6 ranking as far as first basemen are concerned, and obviously Albert Pujols is No. 1, but where it really gets tricky is coming up with the 2-5 order, which pretty much unanimously consists of Ryan Howard, Prince…

By Dalton Del Don I’m not exactly going out on a limb saying I like Roy Halladay this season, and I’m guessing I also won’t be the only person to suggest a move from the AL to the NL will be beneficial. However, I’m here to argue he should be closer to the No. 1…

By Dalton Del Don I’m obviously borrowing (stealing?) the now defunct FireJoeMorgan.com’s method here, but I’ll make it up to Mose Schrute by telling all of you to be sure to check out “Parks and Recreation,” every Thursday at 8:30 p.m. on NBC (seriously, it’s a great show). Anyway, without further ado, I give you…
