@Seth: How does he go from a guy that hit 11 homers and stole one base to a 15/5 guy?

where is Martin Prado? doesnt sniff the top 20?

300 70 15 70 5 is pretty solid.

@Kevo: Damn, those are some mighty fine keepers. I'd have to chuck back CarGo. Not easy choice though.

@Grey: Thanks. I have major concerns over Hill myself. Good to know your reasoning. I am also in a keeper league conundrum with him. If you have time for some quick analysis, i would love your input on the following scenario.

I am in a 14 team keeper league. I need to keep 5 of the 6 below. The round they would be kept in is in paranthesis. Who do you throw back out of:

Zimmerman (7th)
Braun (8th)
Adrian Gonzalez (12th)
Carlos Gonzalez (15th)
Beckham (15th)
Hill(15th)

Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

@Kevo: And to be more specific, I saw that his fly balls went down while his home runs per fly ball nearly doubled. That gives me real pause. I probably should've mentioned that I thought he was solid in August then flip-flopped, but honestly I forgot I said that.

@Kevo: I reevaluated in the offseason.

@ Grey: Here are your comments from August 27, 2009 concernign Aaron Hill: “Aaron Hill – Do I smell a theme? No, that’s lunch. I mean, the Blue Jays. Ah, yes. They smell like rotisserie chicken. No, that really is lunch. Hill will only be 28 at the start of the 2010 season. As I’ve been saying just about the whole season, I don’t think the 30+ homers this year is a fluke. At second base, you can do much worse.”

You basically pull a 180 in your analysis of him in the above column. What gives?

@Grey: Oh, I agree. Kendrick definitely has yet to “do it”. He seemed to make some nice strides in 2009 though, even with the send down (damn Angels like to play yo-yo with their prospects it seems).

I get why you’re high on Stewart, despite his .228 BA last year. A power bat at 2B that you can get in the late rounds is pretty rare. But I put Kendrick in that category too (not a power bat, but just a valuable 2B late). I won’t bet my left testicle on it, but I’ll make a man bet on it.

BTW, happy birthday, old man.

Weeks has got to be the most underrated player around. Gets constantly pissed on w/rankiings basically saying would put up some nice stats but won’t due to a near certainty to keep crashing the dl.

Unless, injuries are chronic, related to the same broken down body part, back, etc. , they follow a poisionic distribition.

Another way of saying it is Weeks is more likely not to hit the dl this season.
