Is Ryan Howard a 1st Round Pick?
Rating 3.00 out of 5

Written by Eric Stashin the Rotoprofessor
When you think slugger, the first name that should pop into your head is Ryan Howard. He is the premier power hitter in baseball today, plain and simple. Over the past three seasons he’s hit 153 HR while driving [...]

Kellen Winslow was traded from the Browns to Tampa. He immediately upgrades their Tight End position and their passing attack, giving Antonio Bryant a compliment. I don’t see Winslow’s value taking a hit, and I think he’ll enjoy playing for Raheem Morris. In [...]

Fantasy Baseball Bounceback Players - Catchers
Rating 3.00 out of 5

Here’s a look at Catchers who should bounce back in 2009.
Víctor Martínez - Víctor’s were way down even if you factored in him playing in just 73 games. He had just 30 Runs, 2 HRs, and 35 RBI. Let’s say you doubled that production [...]

Amare Stoudemire could miss the rest of the season with an eye injury. LeBron James dropped 55. Dwyane Wade dropped 50. Monta Ellis (ankle) will miss a week or two. The Knicks bought out Stephon Marbury’s contract. Mikki Moore signed with Boston. Dwight Howard had a [...]

I realize your job is to get your client as much money as possible, but you’re creating a villian. Manny used to be considered an oddball character that didn’t like to live in the fish bowl that is the Boston sports scene. He escaped [...]

Here’s a look at some Pitchers who should bounce back this year.
Josh Beckett - Beckett struggled through injuries to a 12-10, 4.03 ERA season in 2008. The encouraging news is despite not having his typical stuff, he still managed 172 Ks and a 1.19 WHIP. [...]

The Jets cut WR Laveranues Coles. He had 70 receptions for 850 yards and 7 TDs last year. Not only will the Jets have a new starting QB next year, but they also have to replace their #1 wideout. That shouldn’t be hard [...]

Here’s a look at Outfielders who should bounce back from subpar 2008 seasons.
Carl Crawford - Despite Tampa Bay’s success last year, Crawford didn’t perform at his typical level. Crawford was limited to 109 games, which can explain the 69 Runs, 121 Hits, 12 Doubles, 8 HRs, [...]
