I think this guy has some talent and I was considering picking him up on my fantasy baseball team.  I know Aubrey Huff is injured right now but does Wiggington have a shot at earning the starting third base job?

If you're desparate for someone at third, go for it, but chances are pretty good that there's someone else available. Wiggington has a little power. He hit 17 home runs in 2004 and 7 in 155 AB's last year. And he's entering the prime of his career. And it's Tampa Bay. They're not exactly overrun with talent. When Huff comes back they'll find a place to play Wiggington. So he'll probably get you some home runs and a few RBI since he's batting clean up. But he's not that talented of a ball player overall. His AVG will probably hurt you and he doesn't get on base enough to score runs, even if TB had anyone batting behind him to knock him in. He capable of 25 homers this year, but that probably doesn't make up for the rest of his drawbacks.

I would miss Manny a great deal.  It looks like they are leaning toward signing J.D. Drew for about $15 million a year.  Drew would play right and they would put Willy Mo in left.  But I just don't get it.  Drew gets hurt too much for that kind of money and Manny is well worth the extra cash for the next 2 years ($18 next year and $20 in 2008).  The only thing I can hope for is that they get a couple of great prospects or someone like Jake Peavey in return.  Then it might be worth it.  But I still do not see anyone protecting Big Papi in the line up unless they do get the prospects and turn around and trade them for a big bat (Andruw Jones?).  That would make it interesting.

Nope, Carpenter has cy young potential and he plays in the better team, Arroyo is just unproven and his (very nice) streal might end soon.\n\nI would definitely hold on Carpenter.

Not a horrible trade. If I'm going to protest a trade, there has to be clear evidence of collusion or someone fleecing an inexperienced player. I don't see either of those things here. Yes, Young is probably one of the best shortstops in the game right now, but Rios's stats are pretty solid as well. I doubt he'll keep them up, but you never know. Young will hit more homers as well, if that's what you are worried about. It's not necessarily a deal I would make, but it's not so uneven as to cause a big red flag. You will never get a perfectly even trade.

Wilkerson for Sexson? I say take Wilkerson for now. Brad is doing much better than richie as of the moment in almost all stats, and has a much more favourable park to hit in. However, Wilkerson is a free swinger and can strike out a lot sometimes so be wary of that.\n\nChacin, Chacon and Garland: Jekyll and Hyde type of pitcher. Will give the very good start here and there, but could completely collapse the next start. Big risks to take. \n\nSele: Could be worth taking. \n\nDempster: although he is a closer, i say leave him on the wire. He plays for the Cubs and the Cubs arent winning much at all. Hard to get saves if the team cant win.\n\nWigginton: with Cantu coming back, Wigginton may soon find himself on the bench. So i say leave him now, and see what happens.

I think they definitely have the pitching (starting and relief) to make the playoffs, even without Millwood, but they hurt themselves offensively by trading Coco Crisp to Boston.  They got rid of the wrong outfielder...Casey Blake is batting something like .179 with runners in scoring position.  \n\nIt just seems like they were more interested in helping Boston replace Damon than helping themselves.  Maybe they'll land Austin Kearns and all will be well.

First of all..Howard is a MUST start!  I don't know why some people are saying to bench him.  Look at the stats and make that decision yourself.  \n\nHolliday needs to start.  Possibly start your outfielders based on the matchups for that day.  So many good OF's, not enough spots to start them all.  Podsednik gets you SB's, but he should not be starting every day.  You'll get SB's from plenty of other guys in your lineup.\n\nShelton had his hot 2 week stretch, but he is of no fantasy value now.  Drop him or trade him for pitching if you need it.

NO. let him go. He wouldn't have been up this year even if he wasn't suspended for 50 games in the minors. don't feel bad though im still waiting for bj upton to be called up.

David Wright is the best 3B. He is a five-tool player. Enough said. Yes, all he can do is improve, which is scary.

Nene recently got "injured" in today's game and Eduardo Najera seems to be the new designated starter in Kenyon Martin's absence.  Taking this into consideration along with the fact that he is no longer "C" eligible (which you mentioned), makes him expendable.  As for Claxton, many fantasy analysts can see a lot of potential in him as he is a starter for the first time in his career.  It is just unfortunate that he got a minor injury recently, but he should be back in uniform soon.  Maybe it would be wise to give Speedy a little more time and keep him on your team.\n\nOverall, I feel that you should dump Nene in favor of Ryan Gomes who is now the Celts starting PF after recording his first triple-double a couple of days ago.  Added to his is that his main backup--Al Jefferson--just had an appendectomy and is out for the next two to three weeks.\n\nLastly, I heard Jason Williams has started practicing again and should be back next week or the week after at the latest.  Help is on the way!  Good Luck!

brian roberts: is he going to be able to go for the first part of the season?  you could shift freel to 2nd and grab another outfielder (one with power... are raul ibanez or geoff jenkins available?)  cabrera is a great hitter, so is his teammate jeremy hermida.  but the marlins will struggle to score... LOVE mike young and aramis ramirez.  sean casey could surprise!\n\ni like your pitching staff, rodriguez is going to be the best in the game very soon. valverde... hmm, we'll see. i do think vazquez and zito will bounce back... in fact the whole A's team feels good to me.  take a look at dan haren if he's available.\n\nhope they work out for you... 1 more day!

If you have Hawpe, why go for Francouer? Hawpe is having a better year. Here are the numbers:\n\nHawpe-- .331 avg, 8 HR, 23 RBI, 16 Runs, 1 SB, 1.012 OPS\nFrancouer-- .239, 6 HR, 22 RBI, 17 Runs, 0 SB, .667 OPS\n\nIt's not even close man! Keep Hawpe and make sure he's starting!

A. Francouer is not having a fluke season. He is having a sophmore slump.\nB. Neither is Swisher.  This is a sign of things to come.  Billy Beane has always believed that he would be great player and now he is.\n \nShelton is a fluke\nMaddux isn't\nWe'll have to see about Arroyo. I wish the Bosox hadn't traded him!

Solid utility player that can plan any position except Pitcher and Catcher.  Had a great 2006.  \n\n.296 average, .357 On base, 13 HR, 74 RBI, 78 Runs and 4 SB\n\nGood sign, although I hope they give Theriot some Playing time. \n\nGo Cubbies!!!

Hairston is not a good offensive player.  Check out his career numbers below.  An 8 hitter or a valuable bench guy.\n\nHe's got a good glove, though, and can play 2nd or any OF position.  He can steal a few bases, also.

Keep Him.  At this time last season he had one less homerun and 3 less RBIs, the only difference is his average but there is no doubt he'll finish the season with 30 homeruns, 100 RBIs, 100 Runs and a .280 average.  He never starts the season well.  At the very worst, trade him because just giving him up would not be a good idea.

He's a good hitter but not sure where the Yanks would put him. Cano is a better 2nd baseman. Short, third, left and Center are covered. Sheffield is in right and Giambi at first. Wouldn't mind seeing one or both of them move on but Soriano doesn't have the power needed to play those two spots.
