Fantasy Corner Baseball

Evan Longoria, TB, 3B/DH Grab Second best 3B in baseball. Grab Grab if you miss out on Miggy or Beltre.
Felix Hernandez, Sea, SP Grab Stats will be great … not so many wins though. Grab Great pitcher in a great pitcher’s park.
Hanley Ramirez, LAD, 3B/SS Pass Eligibility is great, player isn’t. Pass Only 1.2 WAR the last two seasons.
Stephen Strasburg, Was, SP Grab Ks will roll in during a 200 IP campaign. Pass Stamina is a concern, especially during fantasy playoffs.
David Price, TB, SP Pass Possibility of trade scares me away. Pass Not as infallible as Verlander or Kershaw.
Dustin Pedroia, Bos, 2B Pass He’s a good second baseman, just not third round good. Pass Will probably mash, but won’t get much help from a weak Boston lineup.
Ian Kinsler, Tex, 2B Grab Doesn’t have the average but grab for the odd numbered year HRs (Over 30 in ’09 & ’11). Grab Power, speed and a lot of guys to drive him in.
Jason Heyward, Atl, OF Grab Young masher in a good lineup. Grab Breakout year is imminent.
Jose Reyes, Tor, SS Pass Not a .300 hitter, but people always think he will be. Grab The best shortstop out there.
Matt Cain, SF, SP Grab Second best pitcher in the NL. Pass Like him a lot, but not a third round pick.
