The only real "if's" for me are Kent and Gile. Kent's definitely No. 2 if he comes back in a decent lineup and park. I'm expecting great things out of Giles this year.

EDIT: These are based on a specific league I'm in that counts walks with a couple other special cats, but I don't think they're that off for standard 5x5's.

Why is everyone ranking Bellhorn so high?

138 hits
93 runs
17 hrs
82 rbi
6 sbs
.264

hes never hit above .270 and his carrier high in homeruns in 27 (2002). In 2004 he had a carrier high 82 rbis, but he has never gotten over the 100 runs mark.

Walks is why I ranked him so high. If he gets decent PT and the 80+ walks I'm projecting him for -- that's a pretty good boost from a shallow position. I agree in standard 5x5's he's not as high as I have him ranked probably.

I ranked him with 5x5, but maybe I should have gone a little higher

I agree that in 5x5's his value takes a major hit because walks are not included.

i agree with whoever said its a mess, too many health and pt issues..

Soriano - still #1 .. too much potential over everybody else
Giles
Boone - eye surgery, could be back
Kent
Utley - i think he'll be this high
Loretta
Vidro - if healthy

Reyes - if healthy
K Matsui
Castillo
Figgins
Polanco
T Walker - nice sleeper if he gets the job

S.Hairston - improvement second year
Miles - improvement second year
Jimenez
Freel
Durham
Bellhorn
Hudson
Cantu - nothing amazing, but possible good option

Kennedy - will miss time
Hairston, Jr - cant stay healthy
Roberts - have a bad feeling
Belliard
Scutaro
Infante

Agree on Matsui--Now that everyone is disabused of the crazy .330 30/30 projections that were being thrown around before last season, I think you will be able to get him on the cheap and expect a solid .285/15/20, which is really a lot nicer than some of the chumps who will probably go ahead of him, i.e. Castillo.
