Is Jeremy Hermida worth keeping in a fantasy baseball league?

remember that he is a YOUNG rookie.... He might just need to get his feet wet, but then again he might not be ready for the BIG SHOW.... I am in the same boat as you are.... GOOD LUCK

If this is a keeper league, I'd pick up Jered Weaver, as he is undoubtedly one of the best pitching prospects we will see in the next few years. If it is just for this year, go with Lester because with the powerful Red Sox offense, he'll be in every game, and thus have a chance to win every game. Unlike the Angels, who aren't doing that well right now. There is no time table for Weaver to be called up right now. If he was sent down after winning his first three games, they really must not care about pitching him in the majors until next year. At the latest he'll get called up in September when they have 40-man rosters.

Sure, especially if your league has a few DL slots per team. There is zero risk at this point, since you can just stash him on the DL and he won't even take up a roster spot. He has such a huge chance to put up some big numbers, if he's healthy. This is one of those times where you can't really afford not to pick him up, because the potential reward is so big and the risk is so small.

sign up on yahoo for fantasy baseball it has a pre-set ranking.  I make a few changes each year, players like Adrian Beltre are ranked low but he is a top 100 player easily.  Just depends on what youre looking for.

Hey, Rick--\n\nI think it's worth a shot. I really think that your pitching can stand up to losing Lowry (although you do need some more wins), and from what I know of your team you should have enough infielders to lose Nomar. Getting a guy like Vlad is worth it, in my book. You've got a good situation here, because you have a guy who is hot for one of your players, so you need to take advantage of this.\n\nRegarding Nomar, I'm glad you stuck with him this long... but at the same time, I think it would be a good thing to trade him now before he gets dinged up again. Good luck!\n\nEDIT: Also, if you do pick up a backup SS off the wire, go for Freddy Sanchez. A guy like that deserves a place in a 14-team league.

you should have dropped G. Anderson months ago.\n\nPrince Fielder is still available in your league, that is nuts.  Jose Lopez is great at 2nd base because he gets the Runs and Rbi's.  Both Maddux and Pettite suck this year.

Absolutely!  The thing that makes him a valuable fantasy player is that he plays on 3rd down.  He'll catch passes and rack up receiving yards.  His durability is a major plus too.  He has stayed pretty healthy for his career.  He's maybe not a first rounder (Larry Johnson and L. Tomlinson), but definitely a high pick.

Ortiz-one of the best around\nLoretta-no power\nReyes-tons of speed; injury prone in the past\nHall-could be a source of both power and speed and is versatile\nSullivan-could be on the waiver wire\nHunter-is as streaky as they come, but could hit 20 homers and steal 20 bases\nFord-could also be on the waiver wire\nTaveras-one year wonder?\nThome-raking right now. Hit at least 40 the last two non-injured years\nHelton-is he starting to lose it?  Avg. is still solid, but power seems down\nPhillips-former prospect has been on fire in the early-going, though has cooled off as of late.\nWilson-Hot right now, but usually a waiver wire guy.\n\nOverall, there's some legitimate talent with Thome, Ortiz, Reyes, and Helton.  There are some questionable guys like Ford and Sullivan.  The rest present a nice mix of upside and "not-too-fancy, but getting it done, regardless," type of guys.\n\nIn the end, though, it's pretty hard to rate any fantasy team without knowing what type of league it is, how deep the league is, and most importantly, what the pitching staff of the team is.

First of all, J.J. Putz isn't doing anything anytime soon. Is this a keeper league? Putz would be good for that, but not much else. Drop him for Francisco ROdney. Rodney will be picking up saves in August and September while all the other closers tire.\nSecond, Drop some of your hitters, prefferably Casey Blake to pick up another SP. If you can get a guy who starts one of every 5 games, it will increase your IP\nThird, get Bay and Ichiro off the bench. They are two of the most dynamic players in the game. They need to be played.\nFourth, once you get Bay and Ichiro on the field, drop Burrell and pick up a player at another position. You need someone who can fill in for Roberts and Delgado consistently on their off days. Ramirez might fill the need for another 2b/SS, but you have a logjam at SS and OF. Make the platoon smaller, and pick up a 1b (is chris shelton on the board? jim thome?) Everyone has off days when they don't play, and people will get injured. Pick up a first baseman or Catcher\nFifth, and last, if you don't already, chek the team daily. You need to know who will start, who's on the DL, who has a favorable matchup, who;s slumping, etc. All of this is necessary. I am leading one of my leagues, am second in another, and fourth in my last. I lost a bet on Eric Gagne, but you don't have to make that mistake. That's all I can say for you, besides always watch SportsCenter and read SI and check your standings. Peace\n\nthomas, destroyer of worlds

lol don't cut hamels....he's pitching TODAY.  your pitching is top notch....i don't see anywhere you can improve there.\n\nif you had to improve somewhere, it would be your hitting...howard, dunn, ortiz for power...suzuki, lopez for speed....looks solid to me.  if anything, i'd say you need another SB threat.  corey patterson is someone that might be available who has stolen a ton of bases.\n\nbut dam...the guy in 1st must have one hell of a team if you are in second...

Smoltz is the only one you can condider, or you should ask for better offer.  Even Derrek Lee would be out for 6-8 weeks, but that's a simple injury (not like Prior's and Wood's) and Derek Lee has a reputation to be tough (never been to DL before).  That's someone you can trust.  What if you trade for someone and he goes to DL as well?  Now you can't even Lee back!\n\nAnd the most important thing is, you can pick another 1B from FA and have close number to Lee's.  Like Todd Walker (He will be eligible for 1B soon), or even Xavier Nady, Ben Broussard.

Look on the waiver wire for hidden gems and trade Chris Shelton for a consistent fanstasy producer while Shelton has such a high value. Don't worry yet, their are still many more weeks. If your league plays SP's, RP's, then just P's for the P's use relief pitchers who appear in more games than starters

I wouldnt do it either.  I like Hawpe i have him on my team.  Bonds is inconsistent and takes many days off. Hoffman also closes for San Diego who is not gonna win a lot of games.  He will have a low era though.

TRUE SLEEPERS? EVERYONE knows about King Felix, Duke, Cain and Liriano as they are probably already taken. Go with the guy Liriano's competing with for the 5th spot; Scott Baker, the Marlins Scott Olsen; yes definitely Anthony Reyes of the Redbirds. Justin Verlander of the Tigers is a future ace. Edwin Jackson of the Devil Rays and Dewon Brazeleton of the Padres have fallen off the radar, but worth keeping your eye on as these guys are free agents in your league!

Complete hitter?? Uggla has more Hits, 2B's, 3B's and HR's than Weeks, is batting 30 points higher and has knocked in almost twice as many runs as Weeks. Of course in fantasy its always going to depend what you're looking for. Weeks will give you the SB's like a leadoff guy and he'll get the Runs with Carlos Lee batting behind him. Uggla has been hurt recently which could take away from his current value, as well as the fact that he's a rookie. However, I think overall I would go with Uggla because he produces good numbers as a 2 hole hitter (Avg, Runs) and has some descent power numbers from that position (HR's and RBI's) and should continue to put up good numbers when he gets healthy.

If you are talking about Yahoo Fantasy Baseball, the website says it will start in early Feb. Have you seen the profile section now ? It is cool.
