Will Pudge make a comeback?Pudge might be on the decline offensively when compared to the numbers he used to put up in his Ranger days, but he didn't ever fall off defensively. He might not be my first choice for a fantasy team, but in reality he is my first round catcher. No one has been better behind the plate. I hope he represents Puerto Rico (La Isla del Encanto) well at the WBC.
Who is better Barry or Hank?
This might not be the politically correct answer, but Barry Bonds gets the edge here. I don't think the question asks us to address character, but rather who is the better ball player. No one has changed the way a game is managed the way Barry has. He would already be the homerun champ if he was pitched to.
Is Hank Blalock overated?
I didn't know Blalock was that highly rated. He is solid and will only get better. His only problem is that he plays for the Rangers.
Is Chase Utley the best fantasy second basemen?
Yes. Easy question.
Did Toronto buy a title?
Nope. They did improve on paper, but so did the New York teams last season. Low and behold, the series feautred Houston and the Chi-sox. Totonto's newly acquired studs weren't winners anywhere else, just fantasy numbers.
What make Beltran so special?
Do you have to ask? I can understand if you didn't see him play his rookie year because he was in KC. KC is never on national tv except when they play high profile teams. However, you should have caught highlights on Sportscenter and read the baseball mags and websites about how this young Puerto Rican was such badass. He was the only one who showed up against St Louis in the 2004 playoffs. It's no wonder he left Houston, although I wish he would have stayed. He's also exciting to watch. I hope this wasn't a serious question.
Why pick a pitchter in the 1st round of a fantasy draft?
Exactly. Why? As juicy and tempting it may be to snag Santana if you get late round drafts by th "randomizer", there are too many pitchers that can produce close enough numbers as Santana that will be available in the later rounds.
