Konerko...what are you nuts?

paul konerko is pretty slow. so are the molinas esp benjie. but none of them have any stolen bases in 1000 ab let alone 1000 games.

Tim Worrell is the most likely candidate especially if it's a short term injury.  He has some experience closing and is much more effective pitcher than Walker.  Long term if Benitez is out AAA prospect Merkin Valdez is somebody to watch.

YES!!!\n\nRyan Zimmerman is a great player to rack up points in ur fantasy league. Brandon Inge is a good defensive player and is on the best team in the MLB.

Yes. Despite Kerry Wood and Mark Prior's injuries, the Cubs are my sleeper team. Their hitting is good, and they still have some pitching left.

The Yankees could sign him if they wanted him, while the Twins should sign him because they need a bat..but wait, don't forget about the Anaheim Angels.  They have or atleast had expressed interest in him.  And now that Konerko stayed in Chicago and Manny is probably staying in Boston, I think they Halos would make him their primary target.  The fact that Mike himself has stated in the past that he would like to come back to the West Coast and play for the Angels doesnt hurt.  We'll just have to wait and find out how everything turns out.

Well let me see if i can narrow it down.For catching it is hands down Jason Varitek,by far the best catcher and captain of ALL time,for pitching I have ALOT,but i think I will give the title to Jonathan Papelbon.He is not only the best closer(besides Foulky and Timlin),but he is the best rookie:)for infield i am really starting to like Mike Lowell and Kevin Youkilis[poor Youk,he keeps getting hit:(],for outfield i guess i will have to say....Manny Ramirez.don't get me wrong i absolutely LOOOOVE all of the players,but there is just something about Manny:)and last but definitely not least for DH i am going to say Big Papi(and not because he is the only one,but because he is the BEST!!!!!!!!:)

As much as I like Griffrey he is an injury risk all the time so I would go against it for that reason because if Griffrey goes down then you are in trouble.  Although Soriano may be worth it alone.

yes it is. it seems tht the fans in New York and Boston stuff the ballot box meaning tht we'll get starting lineup full of Yankees and Red Sox. and for exampl righte now Jason Varitek is leading the AL Catchers in voting, but Joe Mauer should be the clear cut starter because hes batting almost 100 points higher thn Varitek. i feel Troy Glaus should be the starting 3rd baseman and not A-Rod, ARod is having a mediocre year by his standards. but the all star game has turned into a popularity contest and its up to the managers on both teams to select the players who were chosen but didn`t make the teams.

So it would basically be Reyes & Wells for Soriano & Dye? Personally I'd say no to that, Soriano gives you the power, speed and average #'s that fantasy leagues eat up, plus he's still eligible at 2B (presumably). If you're looking for a replacement for Dye, play it week to week and pick up a streaking player who may be facing some weaker competition then drop him when the hot streak wears off.

Konerko is going to have to step it up a little bit or he'll fall just short, but they are all three on pace to join some elite company.\n\nIt is rare, but it has happened before:\nWalker/Galarraga/Castilla (COL) - 1997\nGalarraga/Burks/Castilla (COL) - 1996\nJohnson/Evans/Aaron (ATL) - 1973\n\nAnd just because I was curious, here are some instances where just two teammates have hit 40 in a season, more common but still rare:\nRamirez/Ortiz (BOS) - 2004-05\nPujols/Edmonds (STL) - 2004\nPalmeiro/Rodriguez (TEX) - 2001\nBagwell/Hidalgo (HOU) and Batista/Delgado (TOR) - 2000\nDelgado/Green (TOR) - 1999\nGriffey/Rodriguez (SEA) - 1998-99\nGriffey/Buhner (SEA) - 1996-97\nBench/Perez (CIN) - 1970\nPetrocelli/Yastrzemski (BOS) - 1969\nMaris/Mantle (NYY) and Mays/Cepeda (SF) - 1961\nPost/Kluszewski (CIN) - 1955\nSnider/Hodges (BRO) - 1954\nSnider/Campanella (BRO) - 1953\nRuth/Gehrig (NYY) - 1927, 1930-31\n\nOkay, so I have the day off.......

I would look into a different option for SS, there are probably some better SS available on waivers, I would also check on some different catchers.  You appear to be weak on several catergories, especially SB.  At catcher you might watch Josh Willingham of Florida, I would drop leiberthal and pick him up if he is available.  You might also look and see if Jonathon Palpathon of Boston is available he looks like he might be closing for the Red Sox.

Before the season I would have said Chris Shelton of the Tigers, I was able to get him on both of my fantasy teams, but now the secret's out (6hr and 12rbi).  Since I watch the Tigers all the time, I could give a pretty good case for starting pitcher Jeremy Bonderman.  He's a guy you can pick up in the middle rounds and he'll give you first round numbers.  He only had 14 wins last year, but he puts up a high number of strikeouts, he has an average ERA, and a low WHIP.  \n\nOutside the Tigers, I would say Audrey Huff of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays could be one of the top sleeper picks.  His numbers were down last year after a season in which he hit 30hr and over 100rbi.  He's off to a slow start again this year, but he's a guy with a lot of upside that you can probably get later in the draft.

John Papelbon. He is already closing for one of the most prestigious teams in the AL, and he is one of the biggest stars on the team, even in his first years. If he is injured, or can't keep it up, I would pick Felix Hernandez for the Seattle Mariners to rebound and be the King Felix of last season

Mike Stanton lately has not been as great pitching as in the past, but if you need someone for one or two outs, he most likely will be your man. Alex Gonzalez is a great addition. His glove is great and his batting average has gone up this year while in Boston. It's a shame the Red Sox did not resign him, because they have not a great short stop in a while, however, I think they will fit in well with the Reds orginization.

Alot of it depends on a player who was limited in his 'worth' in 2006 and has a good season in 2007..\n\nA couple of candidates..\n\nIf Mike Sweeney of KC can stay healthy and put up good numbers..\n\nShannon Stewart of Minnesota..  \n\nGary Sheffield, now with Detroit\n\nThose three I would guess to be the AL front runners right now..  each played 60 or less games, have a decent track record in the past, and if they stay healthy, are capable of putting up "rebound' numbers
