I would personally add Nomar to the list of useful players to keep an eye on in shallow/deep leagues. I don't say that because I'm delusional and expect a classic Nomar season, but more or less because in 10 start leagues he has SS eligibility. Considering Chavez is already dinged up, and Nomar may start the season at 3B, he seems like he could be useful as a plug in at SS. If he were to back into 500 AB's I could see something like 90-20-80 .290. That would certainly be an ownable line.

Good call. Especially with the SS elig.
I wasn't totally sure whether he'd get more then 150 ABs with both health and being blocked, so I left him out.
