Pujols. He's just going to keep getting better (which is unfortunate since I'm a Cubs fan).

He is going to platoon with Trot Nixon. He smashed LHP last year but fanned again RHP. He will start when a left handed pitcher starts and Nixon will matchup again right-handers. So if you want maybe a 3 games a week guy take him. Then again, if Nixon gets hurt he will thrive in the lineup.

Over all it will either be Albert Pujols or Alex Rodrguez.\nOver the last two years they are the two best.  Even with Pujols hurt now he should still be there as on of the best.\nAlex has proven to be one of the best already and when all is said and done he will be in the top of most cat. in baseball.

so how 'bout cc tonight?  (i have him too.)\n\nbenitez is out, dude... fernando rodney (det) might get some save while todd jones is hurt... love cantu, if you win he'll be a bigger part of your success than beltre or konerko will... think you might need a bit more outfield speed if stolen bases is a category, someone like aaron rowand or luis matos available? womack and hunter may be enough to carry you... i'm high on ervin santana too, in 2007...beckett will be huge... drop matheny get johjima (sea) or willingham (fla) as a backup catcher... looks like a winner overall!

The question is, who would you replace in the rotation.\n\nJohnson, Mussina, and Wang are locks. I would certainly leave Chacon alone in the 4 spot. I guess you could make a case for replacing Wright, but they have paid him an awful lot of money to not start. You also have Pavano and Small coming back soon. I would leave Proctor where he is in the pen and let him come in and throw his hesat for an inning or two at most.\n\nNot to mention you gotta leave a spot open for the rocket \n;-)

Personally, I would go with Mike Lowell. People have been talking lately about the Red Sox trying to upgrade second base. Loretta isn't a sure stay for the season, but is a decent player. If you look at Lowell's career stats, you are in awe. How could he have done so bad last year? Lowell is a better choicce and will start more games and get you more points. Go with Lowell!!

For a Rotisserie League no doubt its Maddux. I dont have enough faith in the O's offence at this moment. The Cubs seem to me like they are going to do more in the Central this year.

People say get Albert Pujols or Johan Santana. I disagree. In a 14-team league, skill positions are going to go very fast. Go for the shallow positions early. That means your first pick should be A-Rod or Miguel Cabrera, not Pujols. You will have plenty of time to pick a first baseman. In the second round, consider Victor Martinez or Michael Young, if available. That would give you two players at harder to fill positions, which should help. Also, be mindful of when the closer run starts. You will need at least two closers to compete. Some teams will get one-- or none. Those teams aren't going to do well in saves. With that in mind, you might consider Brad Lidge or Mariano Rivera in the 2nd or 3rd rounds, just so you can get SOMEBODY who is good. Just make sure you don't waste any of your picks, because once you pick in the 3rd round you won't get another pick until 24 more guys have gone off the board. Good luck!

Since i dont know how many you need to start, go with Jenkins.  the New Orlean's secondary wont be strong enough to stop him.

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.

Pujols gets pitches to hit because he has Rolen and Edmonds protecting him in the lineup. Managers know that if they put Pujols on base, one of those two guys will likely punish them.\n\nPujols is the best hitter...but best defensive player? Give me a break. 1B is one of the least important defensive positions. He's great at 1B, but he's not as important to his team's defense as Andruw Jones or Orlando Hudson.

pitchers:  matt cain of the giants if he wins a starting job.  doug davis of the brewers is having an excellent spring. scott baker of the twins is compared favorably to brad radke.  and of course everyone knows about felix hernandez (mariners) and francisco liriano (twins)... but have you heard of jon papelbon (red sox)?  for some surprise relief help, look to neal cotts (white sox), JJ putz (mariners), or jesse crain (twins).\n\nbatters:  catchers: kenji johjima (mariners) or javier valentin (reds).  1st base: casey kotchman (angels) or conor jackson (diamondbacks).  2nd base: dan uggla (marlins) or ian kinsler (rangers). shortstop:  not a real sleeper, but JJ hardy (brewers).  3rd base: ryan zimmerman (nationals) or edwin encarnacion (reds).   outfield:  jeremy hermida (marlins), jason kubel (twins), and delmon young (devil rays).\n\nhave fun and good luck!

i'd go for Terry ...Puyol is getting older

Fantasy? or are you talking about real baseball. Fantasy. You can't go wrong with either one. In real life, what position do you need fielded. For example,  if I already have soneone like Jose Castillo at 2nd, and Jason Bay at LF (both great players), then I would take AROD to play 3rd for me. If my LF and 2nd Basemen suck, then I'd go for Soraino. It's all bout need. Also, defensively, I think AROD has the edge. Also, Arod would sell more tickets. I think I just convinced myself to take AROD.

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!

McGwire swung for power in every at-bat of his career, while Pujols is a bit of a smarter hitter. By that I mean he knows when not to hit for power. Albert is also faster than McGwire, and he is a better defensive 1st baseman.

Well, in the NL (and if he can recover from his recent injury) Albert Pujols is definitely the MVP favorite.  No one else even comes remotely close, except for maybe Derrek Lee of Chicago, but his broken wrist earlier this year really makes it difficult for him to put up MVP numbers.  One player to watch out for is Alfonso Soriano.  He's been putting up huge numbers for the Nats so far, despite his bad attitude in the offseason.\n\nIt's a tougher situation in the AL, where Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz probably lead the pack at this point, although cases could be made for Jim Thome, the rookie Joe Mauer in Minnesota, or the Jays' Troy Glaus.  I'll go out on a limb and take Glaus for the AL MVP.\n\nNow the World Series is an entirely different matter.  Just making it to the playoffs is hard, especially with all of the quality teams out there.  In the AL, I'd say that Oakland, the White Sox, and the Yankees will win their respective divisions with Toronto making it as a wild card.  I know all of the BoSox fans won't like it, but they'll be in the race down to the last week of the season.  I'm really hoping that Toronto comes out of nowhere to take the division crown because I get really sick of hearing about the New York-Boston rivalry, but I think the Yankees will turn up their game against the teams in their division.\n\nIn the NL, it's a little easier.  St. Louis hasn't exactly run off with their division, with the Reds right behind them, but they've got the depth to make it to the playoffs and probably the Series again, especially if they find a way to get rid of that no-talent hack Isringhausen.  Atlanta's sinking fast, but I find it difficult to think that the Mets won't roll over after the break.  And it's still a slugfest in the West, but the Dodgers have the offense and solid pitching to outlast everyone else.  So I'll take the Cards, the Dodgers, and (why not?) the Mets to win take their divisions with Houston riding the Rocket's arm to the wild card.\n\nAnd here's another gamble:  Toronto and St. Louis face off in the Series, with Pujols guiding the Cardinals to a hard-won victory in 6.
