PROJECTED LINEUP
Randy Winn (RF): At 34, tough to see him stealing 25 again.
Edgar Renteria (SS): Should bounce back and usually fares better in the NL. Goes late in drafts and is a good value.
Pablo Sandoval (3B): Is a good hitter, but very impatient. Also has limited experience. Bump up if he has catcher eligibility in your league.
Bengie Molina (C): Very consistent numbers and gets undervalued. Excellent contact hitter that should give you a solid average and RBIs.
Aaron Rowand (CF): Said last season he was overvalued coming off career year in Philadelphia. Only in NL-only leagues.
Fred Lewis (LF): A good source of speed late in drafts.
Travis Ishikawa (1B): Could be good in NL-only.
Emmanuel Burriss (2B): If he wins job, good source of steals.
PROJECTED ROTATION
RH Tim Lincecum: Excellent skills. Only concern is workload from last season. Should be very good again.
RH Matt Cain: Like him a lot. The wins haven't been there mainly to run support, but remember not to draft pitchers based on wins. He is just 24.
LH Randy Johnson: Only concern is age and health. Still gets a lot of strikeouts. A good pick in the middle rounds even if he only gets you 150-160 IP.
LH Jonathan Sanchez: Has good stuff and upside. Sill needs to improve control, but he gets a lot of strikeouts and is worth taking in the final few rounds for his upside.
LH Barry Zito: I wouldn't consider him.
PROJECTED CLOSER
RH Brian Wilson: A solid closer who goes in the middle to late rounds.
SETUP
LH Jeremy Affeldt
RH Brian Howry

Sweet...nice prospects.
Ever checked out SimDynasty.com? They're giving away fantasy baseball teams as part of the Big League Clubz sweepstakes that Schlotzsky's is running until May 31, 2009. Check it out at www.bigleagueclubz.com - the grand prize is a trip to St. Louis in July (they're also giving away personalized mini-bats and all kinds of other baseball stuff).
