---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Arizona Diamondbacks | |||||||||||||||||||
2 | Gerardo Parra | Appears to be written off as a fourth OF, but contributes at a roughly average rate in 5 categories. Be ready to pounce in the event of INJURY or demotion | ||||||||||||||||||
3 | Adam Eaton | Currently owned at a high rate, intriguing mix of skills. Capable of producing in 5 categories but will probably lack RBI opportunities | ||||||||||||||||||
4 | A.J. Pollock | Should start most days while Eaton and Ross are injured | ||||||||||||||||||
5 | Atlanta Braves | |||||||||||||||||||
6 | Juan Francisco | Power option against righties, should not play against lefties | ||||||||||||||||||
7 | Chris Jonnson | Best if used against poor pitching - career reverse platoon split is something to keep in mind | ||||||||||||||||||
8 | Evan Gattis | Will serve as the back-up to Laird while McCann is on the DL, could also see time in the OF | ||||||||||||||||||
9 | Baltimore Orioles | |||||||||||||||||||
10 | Wilson Betemit | Good match-up against contact oriented pitchers. Looks like the primary DH | ||||||||||||||||||
11 | Nolan Reimold | Playing time and health are far from guaranteed, but more upside than most in the waiver pool | ||||||||||||||||||
12 | Nate McLouth | Could end up in a platoon with Reimold. Potential to contribute to any category on a given day if you need a spot start | ||||||||||||||||||
13 | Brian Roberts | Quietly put together a solid, healthy spring. Will bat 9th and share 2B duties with Alexi Casilla | ||||||||||||||||||
14 | Boston Red Sox | |||||||||||||||||||
15 | Jackie Bradley Jr. | Currently looking at a full time role until Ortiz returns | ||||||||||||||||||
16 | Jonny Gomes | A column favorite last year, mashes LHP. Getting towards the back end of his career. Likely a platoon DH while Ortiz is out | ||||||||||||||||||
17 | Mike Carp | Could end up in a few partial platoons including LF, 1B, and DH | ||||||||||||||||||
18 | David Ross | Will likely be relegated to day game duties or working with a specific SP. Watch | ||||||||||||||||||
19 | Chicago White Sox | |||||||||||||||||||
20 | Tyler Flowers | Major strike out issues make him hard to roster as a regular, but he does have some utility as a power bat against LHP | ||||||||||||||||||
21 | Jeff Keppinger | Good bet to deliver a solid batting average and little else. 1B, 2B, and 3B eligibility make him more helpful | ||||||||||||||||||
22 | Chicago Cubs | |||||||||||||||||||
23 | Scott Hairston | Should form a predictable handedness platoon with Schierholtz. Good power against LHP | ||||||||||||||||||
24 | Nate Schierholtz | Solid production against RHP. Good for streaming | ||||||||||||||||||
25 | Cincinnati Reds | |||||||||||||||||||
26 | Chris Heisey | Full time starter while Ludwick is out | ||||||||||||||||||
27 | Devin Mesoraco | Post-hype sleeper as an offensive minded C, will start the season behind Hannigan | ||||||||||||||||||
28 | Cleveland Indians | |||||||||||||||||||
29 | Jason Giambi | Power option against righties as DH | ||||||||||||||||||
30 | Lonnie Chisenhall | Enough upside to be worth a speculatory pick in some leagues. Will probably platoon with Aviles | ||||||||||||||||||
31 | Mike Aviles | May platoon at 3B and could see an increased role if Chisenhall struggles. Currently slated as the super-UTIL while the team carries 11 POS players | ||||||||||||||||||
32 | Colorado Rockies | |||||||||||||||||||
33 | Tyler Colvin | Optioned to AAA but could be brought back to platoon with Helton at a later date | ||||||||||||||||||
34 | Jordan Pacheco | Has received some love for C eligibility, but will likely split time with Nelson in an unpredictable 3B platoon | ||||||||||||||||||
35 | Chris Nelson | More power and upside than Pacheco, although he had the lesser spring | ||||||||||||||||||
36 | Eric Young Jr. | Steals in bunches but rarely starts | ||||||||||||||||||
37 | Detroit Tigers | |||||||||||||||||||
38 | Andy Dirks | Respectable against RHP, 2012 platoon numbers against RHP were driven by a .394 BABIP. Currently a surprise everyday starter | ||||||||||||||||||
39 | Asivail Garcia | Could be a useful straight platoon with Dirks but will start the season on the DL | ||||||||||||||||||
40 | Nick Castellanos | He's not a long way off from a call-up if there are OF or DH troubles | ||||||||||||||||||
41 | Florida Marlins | |||||||||||||||||||
42 | Juan Pierre | Can still swipe a base and won't face much competition for playing time in the early going | ||||||||||||||||||
43 | Placido Polanco | Has been perpetually unhealthy for two years. A bounce back is possible if he can figure out how to play without pain | ||||||||||||||||||
44 | Rob Brantly | Had a strong debut last season but is in line for some regression. Should be roughly replacement level at C | ||||||||||||||||||
45 | Houston Astros | |||||||||||||||||||
46 | Rick Ankiel | Starting RF for now and should be batting towards the middle of this flawed lineup | ||||||||||||||||||
47 | Brett Wallace | Stinging the ball this spring and scouts are impressed. Unless K's drop drastically, he's still just a roster patch. Carter or Pena may platoon with him at 1B | ||||||||||||||||||
48 | Chris Carter | Big power and big K rate. Should provide some major mashing against LHP and little else. Very streaky | ||||||||||||||||||
49 | Carlos Pena | Big power, OBP upside against RHP | ||||||||||||||||||
50 | Justin Maxwell | Decent power and speed combo against bad pitchers | ||||||||||||||||||
51 | Fernando Martinez | Former top prospect should get a long look, but the recent track record says he'll be hard to use even as a streaming option | ||||||||||||||||||
52 | Jason Castro | Former prospect had a big spring, matching his 2012 HR total of 6. Could be a useful post-hype sleeper | ||||||||||||||||||
53 | JD Martinez | Offers decent power and little else, could be bumped once F-Mart is recalled | ||||||||||||||||||
54 | Kansas City Royals | |||||||||||||||||||
55 | Lorenzo Cain | Has the ability to produce across 5 categories. Good streaming option for shallow leagues or a deep league starter | ||||||||||||||||||
56 | Los Angeles Angels | |||||||||||||||||||
57 | Alberto Callaspo | He can contribute batting average and very little else. Good for filling Monday/Thursday roster spots and little else | ||||||||||||||||||
58 | Los Angeles Dodgers | |||||||||||||||||||
59 | Luis Cruz | Very BABIP dependent with no walk, low strikeout approach. Also lacks power and base-stealing capabilities. | ||||||||||||||||||
60 | Jerry Hairston Jr. | Also BABIP dependent, but can take a walk. Currently 2B/3B/OF eligible but playing time is uncertain and unpredictable | ||||||||||||||||||
61 | Mark Ellis | Sub-replacement level. Could be full time player or participate in a strict handedness platoon with Schumaker. | ||||||||||||||||||
62 | Skip Schumaker | Sub-replacement level. Path to playing time is unclear. | ||||||||||||||||||
63 | Milwaukee Brewers | |||||||||||||||||||
64 | Watch 1B | With Corey Hart out about 1 month, the club is turning to a platoon of Alex Gonzalez and Yuni Betancourt. Anything else would be an improvement | ||||||||||||||||||
65 | Carlos Gomez | A favorite of the column last season, should be heavily owned this year and a full-time starter | ||||||||||||||||||
66 | Norichika Aoki | Another column favorite that should be seeing mostly full-time reps, will also be heavily owned early on | ||||||||||||||||||
67 | Minnesota Twins | |||||||||||||||||||
68 | Chris Parmalee | Good power option but it remains to be seen if he will be overmatched at the MLB level | ||||||||||||||||||
69 | Aaron Hicks | Will break camp as the CF. Decent mix of power and speed, but might be too early in his develop to expect fantasy help | ||||||||||||||||||
70 | Ryan Doumit | Heavily owned early on, but spent much of last season on the waiver wire despite top 10 C numbers | ||||||||||||||||||
71 | Trevor Plouffe | Lost his best eligibilities over the offseason, still 3B/OF eligible but his power outburst last season has him rostered in too many leagues | ||||||||||||||||||
72 | Darin Mastroianni | Steals bases in bunches and little else. He's the fourth outfielder until Morneau is traded or Hicks is demoted | ||||||||||||||||||
73 | New York Mets | |||||||||||||||||||
74 | John Buck | Should get full time reps until D'Arnaud is called upon | ||||||||||||||||||
75 | Travis D'Arnaud | Good candidate to roster in late April/early May. Should take over from Buck as full time backstop | ||||||||||||||||||
76 | Daniel Murphy | Provides good ratios and some production across all categories | ||||||||||||||||||
77 | Collin Cowgill | Grinder who has the potential to contribute across the board on any given day | ||||||||||||||||||
78 | Lucas Duda | An atypical post-hype sleeper. Still has power to mash RHP and provide solid numbers | ||||||||||||||||||
79 | Kirk Nieuwenhuis | Typical replacement level fodder. He could steal a base or pop a home run on a given day, it just isn't likely | ||||||||||||||||||
80 | Jordany Valdespin | Positional flexibility and could bat leadoff in a lineup that only features a couple hitters worth noticing | ||||||||||||||||||
81 | New York Yankees | |||||||||||||||||||
82 | Travis Hafner | Should benefit from that short RF porch. Good power play against RHP | ||||||||||||||||||
83 | Vernon Wells | There are better fish in the sea, but he still has some power when he plays | ||||||||||||||||||
84 | Eduardo Nunez | Jeter enters the season banged up, and Nunez's ability to steal bases makes him more attractive than other waiver options like Stephen Drew | ||||||||||||||||||
85 | Brennan Boesch | Could see time in a handedness platoon with Wells, and we all know how friendly Yankee Stadium II is to lefties | ||||||||||||||||||
86 | Oakland Athletics | |||||||||||||||||||
87 | Derek Norris | Could possibly end up in a handedness platoon with Jaso | ||||||||||||||||||
88 | Nate Freiman | Could see time against lefties as a 1B/DH. A hot start could lead to a handedness platoon with Moss | ||||||||||||||||||
89 | Brandon Moss | Good power option versus lesser RHP | ||||||||||||||||||
90 | Josh Donaldson | Trendy 3B sleeper. Playing time is not assured, but could post HR+SB totals above 20. | ||||||||||||||||||
91 | Jed Lowrie | Fantasy starter when healthy. Lacks assured role at this point. | ||||||||||||||||||
92 | Jemile Weeks | Disappointing sophomore effort complete with BABIP troubles. Will be competing with Lowrie and Nakajima for playing time | ||||||||||||||||||
93 | Hiroyuki Nakajima | Has shown no power and a large strikeout problem in very small-sample spring training action | ||||||||||||||||||
94 | Coco Crisp | Very steady supplier of SB when healthy | ||||||||||||||||||
95 | Seth Smith | Should reprise his role as platoon DH against RHP. Could see time in OF and 1B | ||||||||||||||||||
96 | Eric Sogard | With playing time, could put together 20 HR+SB which is palatable given his 2B/SS/3B eligibilities. Needs some help to find the playing time | ||||||||||||||||||
97 | Philadelphia Phillies | |||||||||||||||||||
98 | Delmon Young | Passable against LHP, solid HR threat | ||||||||||||||||||
99 | Erik Kratz | Should provide respectable production until Ruiz returns | ||||||||||||||||||
100 | John Mayberry Jr | Best against LHP, can be used against RHP if "hot" |
