If you don't care about fantasy baseball, you can (and should) skip this blog.
If you do care, you should definitely check out the Team Health Reports at www.baseballprospectus.com. You can't neglect health before your fantasy draft. A few notable health risks: Roy Oswalt. He's kinda like Pedro Martinez. If he's healthy, he'll be the runner-up to Randy Johnson for the NL Cy Young Award. But here's why that's a big "if": 1) His small frame means that he has a smaller margin for error when it comes to mechanics. 2) The Astros do a poor job of keeping pitchers healthy. The Pedro comparison comes up again, because Jimy Williams' abuse of Pedro was the main reason why his 2001 season was marred by injury. That said, Williams did a decent job of protecting Oswalt last year until a September push to try to get Oswalt 20 wins. Mariano Rivera. Appears to be at full strength right now, but don't be too surprised if he's on and off the DL this year. Ken Griffey Jr. A lot has been made about his offseason workouts, but his hamstring doesn't appear to be able to hold up while playing center field over a full season. 0 Comments:Post a Comment |
