Troy Tulowitzki: 1st round fantasy pick?
A bit ago, I wrote there are 3 real solid SS in this draft, Hanley Ramirez, Troy Tulowitzki and Jose Reyes. Despite what ESPN’s Fantasy Baseball writers are suggesting that there is a debate between Tulo and Jeter for the 2nd best fantasy SS, Tulo is 2nd best SS by a wide margin.
Over a week ago, Jose Reyes was diagnosed with a thyroid issue which will sideline him 2 to 8 weeks, which me weary of drafting Reyes. That leaves 2 SS, in my fantasy baseball world, that are worth pursuing heavily. Hanley’s value by Reyes’ injury is unshaken, but Tulo’s moves up.
Ok, SS is thin already, so is it worth overdrafting Tulo over Howard/Wright/Longoria/Kinsler, etc? I will take Hanley in any standard draft if he is available to me, as far as Tulo, I’m not too sure just yet.
Reasons To Take Tulo In First Round
-Tulo finished 13th in ESPN’s player rater last season, so if he repeats his numbers from last year, you will be getting around a 1st round value
-No other position drops off after the first two!
Is Spring Training Actually Starting Tomorrow?
Posted by Chris Cwik in Baseball, Fantasy on March 1, 2010
Thank goodness, yes! Tomorrow, four MLB teams will see their first game action since early October. For many fans, Spring Training is the first opportunity to start forming opinions about their team. How will ____ fit it with the team? Is ____ going to experience a resurgence? How will ____ recover from last years injury? Is _____ finally ready to break out? Fans of every team ask these questions each year. Take me for example, I would answer the previous questions: Juan Pierre, Andruw Jones or Alex Rios, Jake Peavy, and Tyler Flowers. Each year, however, analysts advise against forming opinions based on Spring Training stats. In some ways, it makes a lot of sense. Players don’t always face the top competition in Spring Training. Often times, context is the key. That said, what can you actually take away from Spring Training?
2010 Fantasy Shortstop Rankings
Posted by Chris Cwik in Baseball, Fantasy on January 15, 2010
Another fantasy season, another season with little-to-no depth at the middle infield positions. While Hanley Ramirez, Derek Jeter, and Troy Tulowitzki look like solid choices, there are plenty of questionable choices. Jose Reyes is coming off an injury, Jimmy Rollins had a down year, and many people are questioning Ben Zobrist’s breakout. Depending on what you believe, some shortstop lists are going to be quite different. Without further ado…time for the shortstops.
