Well, today Jim Bowden tweets “Ben Sheets negotiations, according to reliable sources, are heating up with teams most interested … the Rangers, Mets, Mariners, A’s and Cubs.” Also, on MLB Live with Bowden and Joe Castellano, Bowden [...]

Filed under Minnesota Twins
1) Aaron Hicks-OF Should be a real strong major league player with the stick. 2) Kyle Gibson-SP I don’t care so much that he fell in the draft. Upper rotation guy with above average stuff. Twins feast on guys like this. 3) Ben Revere-OF Is the typical fast, slap hitter, center fielder that will kill [...]

1. Mark Reynolds ARI? Nah, I’m just kidding. Alex Rodriguez’s the man here still, clearly. Reynolds had a great year, but as you see, he is lower on this list. A-Rod is getting up there in age, but he is still a dominant fantasy player and despite missing over a month of the season last [...]

1) Aroldis Chapman-SP Everyone knows about the hype and the arm. Let’s see how he does this year. 2) Yonder Alonzo-1b Big hitting first basemen. I don’t know what they’re gonna do with him with Joey Votto around. So your guess is as good as mine at this point. I don’t think he has the [...]

1) Carlos Santana-C Great talent from the Cliff Lee Trade. He can flat out rake…RAKE! 2) Alex White-SP A year or 2 or even 3 away. Has the chance to be a superstar with his stuff. 3) Michael Brantley-OF Don’t sleep on this guy. I know there’s some knock on him, but I really like [...]

1) Dustin Ackley-OF/2B/Utility What a hitter. Seattle is doing all the right things lately, all they have left it seems like is to find a position for this guy. They need his bat. 2) Gabriel Noriega-SS Real young, but an outstanding defensive shortstop with improving offensive skills. He needs a lot of time with a [...]
Top 30 Fantasy Second Basemen

1. Chase Utley PHI Quick, name the two players who have hit five home runs in the same World Series. Reggie Jackson is an easy one. I guess Chase Utley as the second option would make a lot of sense here considering I’m writing this under this under his name and because it just happened [...]

1) Stephen Strasburg-SP Do I really need to say why? 2) Drew Storen-RP Outstanding young reliever. Closer of the future? I think so 3) Danny Espinosa- SS I think he could be a pretty decent offensive shortstop. He’s got some decent power, hits to all field, seems to just know how to play at a [...]

Some of our readers might be familiar with Fire Joe Morgan. If not, I highly recommend checking out their site (www.firejoemorgan.com), although they have “retired” from sports blogging. Anyway, their format is something that has been copied often, and I thought I’d get in on the mix. Here’s my FJM style critique of Eric Karabell’s [...]
Top 30 Fantasy First Basemen for 2010

1. Albert Pujols STL No surprise here. Pujols is the best player in baseball and the best fantasy player, period. He keeps getting smarter and he keeps getting better. With Matt Holliday providing lineup support for an entire season, Pujols could be primed to have the best year of his career. Pitchers beware. 2. Ryan [...]
