Obviously a player's lineup spot matters. Players near the top of the order score more runs. Players near the middle of the order score plenty of runs too, but also drive in more. The closer to the top of the lineup a player is, the more plate appearances he will get throughout the season, so any time a player is moved from the bottom of the lineup, to near the top, it is a very good thing. Here are...

“I am a self-admitted Cubs fan, so much so that my late father has ashes on Wrigley Field. This guy just happened to be his favorite current Cub, so I had a hard time coming to grips with the fact that his ceiling may be Edgar Renteria in his prime. Not that it’s bad, Renteria hit .330, with 13 homers, 100 RBI, 96 runs, and 34 stolen bases in 2003. That's a monster year for a SS, and I could see Castro hovering around those numbers the next few years. Thing is, I think people have it in their head he's going to turn into Hanley Ramirez type power and it's not going to happen. The guy is really good, and only 22, so his best years are ahead of him.” @tofantasysports, Mar 6th |
| Muntradamus Beast Dome | # 5 |
“Starlin hit 10 Bombs and swiped 22 bags in his first full season. As a SS those numbers do get the job done, however there is definitely a drop off between him and the top 3 of Tulo, Han Ram, and Reyes. I would let some else reach for the potential 20/30 guy. It may not come this season and there are safer options around the same time his name is called on draft day.” @Muntradamus, Mar 10th |
