Gm: Paul Forbes
STATUS: Sitting at .500 at the latest point in any season since I've had the team. Looks like a high point though, as the current MLB stats for ALL of my players is scary bad. Ah well...

Lindstrom joins Orioles bullpen: The Rockies acquired starter Jeremy Guthrie from the Orioles on Monday in exchange for pitchers Jason Hammel and Matt Lindstrom. I like a power arm at the end of the game, and we have a couple for Buck (Showalter) in Jim Johnson and Matt Lindstrom," executive VP Jim Duquette said. "I like the manager having that strength in the bullpen, so if we have a lead we can lock down the lead late in the game. I am encouraged by adding Matt Lindstrom because of his capabilities to convert on saves. He has the experience as both a closing pitcher, getting the last three outs, and also as a setup man pitching the seventh and eighth inning and I just think that strengthens our ballclub. Clay Rapada was designated for assignment by Baltimore to make room for Lindstrom and Hammel. CBSSports.com baseball insider Jon Heyman reports Guthrie also signed a one-year, $8.2 million contract with Colorado to avoid arbitration. (Updated 02/06/2012) Fantasy Analysis Lindstrom had a productive 2011 season with Colorado -- his only campaign with the Rockies. He went 2-2 with a 3.00 ERA in 63 outings. He also had two saves, but Lindstrom mostly worked as a setup man. We expect him to hold a similar role with the Orioles, but Baltimore has a shaky closer candidate in Kevin Gregg, so Lindstrom is a good fallback option. Track Lindstrom's progress this spring. If he emerges as the potential closer, then he would be worth adding in leagues that reward for saves as a low-end option. (Updated 02/06/2012). |

Matt LaPorta, 1B LaPorta tabbed for Triple-A?: MLB.com reports that Indians general manager Chris Antonetti wants 1B Matt LaPorta to play every day, even though the team has recently acquired 1Bs Casey Kotchman and Russ Canzler. With Kotchman considered as the frontrunner to be the Indians' starting first baseman, that means that LaPorta will likely start the season at Triple-A Columbus rather than fill a part-time role in Cleveland. (Updated 02/03/2012) Fantasy Analysis LaPorta has not shown the same contact and power skills in three seasons with Cleveland that he displayed in the minors, and at age 27, time may be running out. However, the Indians do not just want to resign LaPorta to a reserve role, so there may still be hope that he can develop into a full-time major leaguer. The odds look slim for that to happen in 2012, though, so he can be passed over in most leagues on draft day. (Updated 02/03/2012). |

Casey Kotchman, 1B Kotchman heading to Cleveland: The Indians agreed to sign free agent 1B Casey Kotchman to a one-year deal worth $3 million plus incentives on Thursday, according to CBSSports.com Baseball Insider Jon Heyman. Kotchman hit .306 with 10 home runs for the Rays last season. (Updated 02/02/2012) Fantasy Analysis Add Kotchman to the ever-growing list of first base candidates for the Indians. He is as promising, if not more, than the other available options, so he stands a chance at some regular playing time. Kotchman lacks power at a position where it is nearly a prerequisite for Fantasy value, so he still remains an option for owners in AL-only leagues. (Updated 02/02/2012). |

John Lannan, S Lannan signed, then shopped: Still weeks away from the start of spring training, SP John Lannan already has his first loss of the season. According to CBSSports.com Baseball Insider Jon Heyman, the Nationals won their arbitration case over Lannan on Thursday. The lefty will make $5 million this season, as opposed to the $5.7 million that he requested. Lannan won't necessarily be a part of Washington's rotation in 2012, though, as FOXSports.com reports that the team is actively shopping him. (Updated 02/02/2012) Fantasy Analysis Whether Lannan remains with the Nationals or finds a home with another team, he is likely to be given regular work in a rotation this season. He can usually be counted on to provide a lower-than-league-average ERA, but he is also a hazard in the WHIP category. That leaves him as an option in deeper mixed leagues and league-specific formats. (Updated 02/02/2012). |

Leo Nunez, C Oviedo expected for spring training: The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that Marlins team president David Samson expects RP Juan Oviedo to be back in the U.S. in time for spring training, though he probably won't be ready for opening day. Oviedo is still in the Dominican Republic, where he is dealing with visa issues associated with his use of a false name (Leo Nunez). The team is prepared to deal with Oviedo facing potential sanctions from Major League Baseball, which would further delay the start of his season. "There was an acknowledged violation of the law," Samson said. "To the extent that would result in disciplinary action from MLB, that would certainly make sense to me I would say that everything would be on the table." Oviedo is also still on the Marlins' restricted list. (Updated 02/02/2012) Fantasy Analysis Whenever Oviedo is able and allowed to pitch, he will be the set-up man for new Marlins closer Heath Bell. Fantasy owners should not rule out the possibility of Oviedo closing in 2012, as previous reports have stated that the Marlins may try to trade him this season. Until that happens, though, Oviedo will only be a viable option in leagues that use middle men. (Updated 02/02/2012). |

Vernon Wells, LF OF Wells reworks swing: The Orange County Register reports Angels OF Vernon Wells is working with renowned hitting coach Rudy Jaramillo, who is the Cubs batting coach. The two have been working in a batting cage that Wells had built at his Dallas-area home this offseason. Wells said Jaramillo has rebuilt his swing from scratch and "top to bottom." Hes awesome, Wells said. I finally have a load in my swing, which will be fun. Wells said some of his struggles in 2011 -- his first with the Angels -- resulted from being in his head too much. He felt uncomfortable with his new surroundings and that caused him to swing for the fences often. Wells appears on track to rectify that. The number that needs to be up is my doubles," he said. "I'll hit my share of home runs. I know what to expect now. I feel like Ive been here for years now. (Updated 01/30/2012) Fantasy Analysis The biggest change Wells said about his approach is that he is getting loaded early on pitches that will help him catch up to more hittable pitches. It will also help him lay off the bad pitches and stay shorter in the rest of his swing. Wells sounds really amped about working with Jaramillo and the changes he has made to his swing. Wells' average slumped to .218 last year, but if he gets his stat line closer to what he did in 2010 with the Blue Jays (.273, 31 HRs, 88 RBI), then he is looking at a bounce-back year. Wells will likely fall to the late rounds in Fantasy drafts coming off a down campaign, but he could end up a great value pick. Just don't reach for him on Draft Day. (Updated 01/30/2012). |

Tim Hudson, S Braves to be cautious with Hudson: The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Braves pitching coach Roger McDowell said the team will be cautious with Tim Hudson, who is coming off November back surgery, to help ensure he will be healthy for the summer and stretch run. GM Frank Wren has already hinted that Hudson might not be ready for the start of the season. (Updated 01/30/2012) Fantasy Analysis Apparently Hudson's recovery is going well, but the Braves are well aware that he is an aging veteran, so it might take a little longer for him to recover these days. What McDowell is saying is nothing new. It's just disappointing to hear it from another party. Hudson has won 33 games the last two seasons and still pitches at a very high level when healthy. But perhaps there is now a little risk to drafting him because he is coming off major back surgery. Still view Hudson as a mid-rotation Fantasy arm on Draft Day. (Updated 01/30/2012). |

Alexi Casilla, 2B Casilla solid in winter ball: The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that Minnesota is encouraged after infielder Alexi Casilla's winter ball performance. Casilla hit .336 over 31 games for Gigantes del Cibao. "I'm tired of getting hits," Casilla joked. "Oh my God. I was getting on base too much." (Updated 01/28/2012) Fantasy Analysis Casilla finished last season with a .260 batting average with two homers, 21 RBI and 15 stolen bases over 323 at-bats and 97 games. It was an injury-plagued year for Casilla, who will enter next season as a low-end Fantasy option. (Updated 01/28/2012). |

Juan Pierre, LF Pierre enters Phillies' OF mix: CSNPhilly.com reports that the Phillies reached an agreement with free agent OF Juan Pierre on a minor league deal on Friday. Pierre hit .279 with 27 stolen bases for the White Sox last season. (Updated 01/27/2012) Fantasy Analysis The Phillies' left field situation is still unsettled, and Pierre could potentially factor in as either a starter or as a reserve. Especially if he wins a regular role, Pierre has some low-end appeal for owners in mixed Rotisserie leagues, as he could still be a 30-plus stolen base threat. (Updated 01/27/2012). |

Brandon Inge, 3B Inge is out of Detroit's lineup now that the club has signed Prince Fielder.(Updated 1/26/12) STATS LLCAdvice With Fielder taking over at first base, Miguel Cabrera will go to third and Inge will not start. Manager Jim Leyland said he talked to Inge, who lost his job as Detroit's everyday third baseman last season. "He's not the happiest camper,'' Leyland said. ``He certainly understands.'' Fantasy Analysis Inge was batting .177 with one home run and 17 RBI when the Tigers designated him for assignment in late July. He then accepted his demotion to Triple-A Toledo. Inge did return to the Tigers and finished the year batting .197 with 23 RBI. There is a chance Miggy is the designated hitter a good chunk of the time, giving Inge some starts at third, but he won't win the job outright. For that reason Inge's already low Fantasy value has gotten even lower. Unless he gets traded to a team where he can start, Inge will be nothing more than a low-end reserve option in AL-only formats this year. (Updated 01/24/2012). |

The Yankees have finalized their $10 million, one-year contract with free-agent right-hander Hiroki Kuroda. The deal, which had been pending a physical, was agreed to on Jan. 13, the same night the Yankees acquired right-hander Michael Pineda from Seattle in a trade that sent catcher Jesus Montero to the Mariners.(Updated 1/26/12) STATS LLCAdvice Kuroda was 13-16 with a 3.07 ERA for the Dodgers last year. The 36-year-old had a 41-46 record with a 3.45 ERA in four seasons in Los Angeles. In addition, Kuroda can make $1 million in performance bonuses: $200,000 each for 160, 170, 180, 190 and 200 innings. Fantasy Analysis The signing of Kuroda comes on the same night when the Yankees shipped Jesus Montero to Seattle for SP Michael Pineda. Kuroda suffered from a lack of run support during his four seasons with the Dodgers, compiling a 41-46 record, but he consistently produced an ERA under 4.00, including a career-low 3.07 last year. With plenty of run support and probably being the No. 3 starter in New York, Kuroda will be worth grabbing in the middle-to-late rounds on Draft Day this year. (Updated 01/13/2012). |

Boone Logan, R Logan settles with Yankees: The Yankees settled their final salary arbitration case, agreeing with RP Boone Logan on a one-year contract worth $1,875,000. Logan was 5-3 with a 3.46 ERA in 64 games last year. (Updated 01/26/2012) Fantasy Analysis Logan had a solid 2011 season, but the lefty specialist faces just a hitter or two per appearance, so he's not much help in Fantasy. Logan can be ignored in nearly all formats on draft day. (Updated 01/26/2012). |
|
Robert Andino, 2B Orioles reach deal with Andino: The Orioles and infielder Robert Andino agreed to a one-year, $1.3 million deal on Wednesday, avoiding arbitration. Andino spent much of 2011 as the team's starter at second base and would likely fill the same role to begin 2012 if Brian Roberts isn't ready to return from last season's concussion. (Updated 01/25/2012) Fantasy Analysis Andino isn't much of a threat offensively, but any player who gets regular at-bats has some appeal in deeper Fantasy formats. He would contribute a modest number of steals, if nothing else, as a starter, so don't forget about Andino late in AL-only leagues. (Updated 01/25/2012). |

Carl Pavano, S Pavano to open up for Twins: Twins manager Ron Gardenhire told the St. Paul Pioneer Press on Wednesday that Carl Pavano will be the opening-day starter against the Orioles on April 6. Pavano went 9-13 with a 4.30 ERA in 33 starts last season. (Updated 01/25/2012) Fantasy Analysis After posting double-digit wins the previous two years, Pavano took a bit of a step back last season but was able to stay healthy for the third straight campaign. He has become a workhorse for the Twins since joining the club in 2009, posting 10 complete games in 77 starts, and should be in for another productive campaign in 2012. While his strikeout totals limit his value in Fantasy, Pavano should be considered a viable option in mixed leagues on Draft Day. (Updated 01/25/2012). |

Jorge Posada, 1B Posada calls it a career: Flanked by his wife and children, with five World Series trophies sitting on a table to his right, Jorge Posada announced his retirement Tuesday. The five-time All-Star catcher is ending his major league career after 17 seasons, all with the New York Yankees. (Updated 01/24/2012) Fantasy Analysis The 40-year-old Posada finishes with a .273 career batting average, 275 home runs and 1,065 RBI. Shifted to designated hitter last year, his playing time diminished. Posada joins Bernie Williams and Andy Pettitte in retirement, leaving only 37-year-old Derek Jeter and 42-year-old Mariano Rivera from the core group that led the Yankees to four World Series titles in five years from 1996-2000. (Updated 01/24/2012). |

M's give Millwood minor-league deal: The Mariners signed SP Kevin Millwood to a minor-league deal on Monday. Millwood went 4-3 with a 3.98 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in nine starts for the Rockies last season. (Updated 01/23/2012) Fantasy Analysis At age 37, Millwood doesn't have much left in the tank, but if he was able to survive at Coors Field last year, he could make a surprising contribution pitching at Safeco Field. Of course, he'll have to beat out both Charlie Furbush and Hector Noesi for a rotation spot first, and that's hardly a given. Even if he wins the job this spring, Millwood's age and inconsistencies over the last few years would make him just an AL-only option. (Updated 01/23/2012). |

Fred Lewis, LF Indians giving Lewis a look: The Indians signed OF Fred Lewis to a minor-league deal on Thursday. Lewis spent last season with the Reds, hitting .230 with a .638 OPS in 183 at-bats. (Updated 01/19/2012) Fantasy Analysis Lewis used to be an everyday player for the Giants, but he'll be competing for a reserve role with the Indians. He doesn't offer much in the way of power or speed, so even if he wins a job, he'll be a player to ignore in Fantasy. (Updated 01/19/2012). |

Strasburg back to throwing: Nationals SP Stephen Strasburg announced on his Twitter account that he threw his first bullpen session of the year on Wednesday, writing, "Threw first bullpen today felt great just like riding a bike!" According to MASN.com, that puts Strasburg on schedule to be ready for spring training, which will begin on Feb. 19. The 23-year-old returned from Tommy John surgery late last season, and it is expected that he will be limited to approximately 160 innings this year. (Updated 01/19/2012) Fantasy Analysis Even with an innings limit, Strasburg enters his first full season as a major leaguer with the potential for great Fantasy value. He will help enough in most categories to be worth drafting as a high-end No. 3 SP in all mixed league formats. (Updated 01/19/2012). |

Mitch Maier, LF Maier gets pay increase with Royals: The Kansas City Royals and utility outfielder Mitch Maier have agreed to an $865,000, one-year contract that avoided arbitration. Maier can earn an additional $10,000 for making 100 plate appearances and $50,000 for making his first All-Star game. He had 113 plate appearances last season. (Updated 01/17/2012) Fantasy Analysis Maier hit .232 and drove in seven runs while appearing in 45 games as the Royals' fourth outfielder last year, when he made $459,000. The former first-round draft pick is a career .253 hitter in 327 games. The 29-year-old Maier is the longest-tenured player on the club's 40-man roster. However, he isn't expected to challenge for a starting spot this spring, so continue to ignore Maier in Fantasy. (Updated 01/17/2012). |

Liriano lands $5.5 million deal: The Star-Tribune reports Twins SP Francisco Liriano agreed to a one-year, $5.5 million contract on Tuesday, avoiding arbitration. (Updated 01/17/2012) Fantasy Analysis Liriano is in his last year of arbitration, so if he doesn't sign a long-term deal, then he hits the free-agent market next offseason. Liriano will be looking to bounce back in 2012 after a turbulent 2011 season. Liriano is already taking steps to get back on track by pitching in winter ball, which he says will help him get ready for the season. We know what type of potential Liriano brings to the table, but you have to consider Liriano more of a mid-round Fantasy option and hope for a bounce-back season. (Updated 01/17/2012). |
|
Joe Smith, R Indians, Smith come to terms: Indians RP Joe Smith signed a one-year, $1.75 million contract on Tuesday, avoiding arbitration. (Updated 01/17/2012) Fantasy Analysis Smith posted a career-low 2.01 ERA in 2011. Still, he worked primarily as a middle reliever, so he has marginal Fantasy appeal outside of leagues that reward heavily for middle men. (Updated 01/17/2012). |

Navarro signs with Reds: Veteran C Dioner Navarro agreed to a minor-league contract with the Cincinnati Reds on Monday and will earn an opportunity to make the team during spring training. Navarro appeared in 64 games as a backup for the Dodgers last season and posted a career-low .193 batting average. (Updated 01/16/2012) Fantasy Analysis Navarro was designated for assignment by Los Angeles last August and had trouble landing with another team. He will be 28 years old by opening day, but is not a reliable power threat and has just 39 career homers. Even if he does make the major league roster, Navarro will again serve as a backup for Cincinnati. Leave him untouched in Fantasy drafts for the upcoming season. (Updated 01/16/2012). |

Rob Johnson, C Mets tab R. Johnson for backup role: CBSSports.com Senior Baseball Writer Danny Knobler reports that the Mets signed C Rob Johnson to a minor league deal on Thursday. Johnson appeared in 67 games for the Padres in 2011, and he hit .190 with three home runs. The Mets had been in the market for a backup catcher, and they appeared to have filled that need with Johnson. (Updated 12/22/2011) Fantasy Analysis Johnson does not hit for power or average, and while he should see a fair amount of playing time, he will probably not be much of a factor in Fantasy. He can be ignored in all but the deepest of NL-only leagues. (Updated 12/22/2011). |

Cesar Izturis , SS Izturis signs with Brewers: The Brewers signed SS Cesar Izturis to a minor league deal on Wednesday, according to MLB.com. Izturis spent the last three seasons with the Orioles, though he appeared in only 18 games in 2011, as he spent much of the season recovering from elbow surgery. (Updated 12/21/2011) Fantasy Analysis Izturis will back up Alex Gonzalez at shortstop, carrying over the reserve role that he was supposed to hold with the Orioles last season. He is a very light hitter, so even if the Brewers find him playing time, owners can ignore Izturis in nearly all formats. (Updated 12/21/2011). |

Giants bring back Whiteside: According to The Associated Press, San Francisco has reached a one-year deal with backup C Eli Whiteside after declining to tender him a contract last Monday. The 32-year-old Whiteside batted .197 with four homers and 17 RBI in 82 games last season. (Updated 12/17/2011) Fantasy Analysis Whiteside provided key innings for the Giants this past season after reigning NL Rookie of the Year Buster Posey went down with a season-ending leg injury in a May 25 home-plate collision with the Marlins' Scott Cousins. Posey is expected to be fully healthy for the start of the 2012 season and Whiteside is expected to return to the bench. Fantasy owners should not consider Whiteside a worthwhile Fantasy option for next year. (Updated 12/17/2011). |

Gutierrez signs minors deal with Royals: The Royals signed RP Juan Gutierrez to a minor-league contract on Tuesday. Gutierrez underwent Tommy John surgery in September and is not expected to be fully recovered until the 2013 campaign. (Updated 12/13/2011) Fantasy Analysis Gutierrez posted a 5.40 ERA in 20 appearances last season but likely will not be able to contribute for the Royals until September at the earliest. Plan on ignoring the right-hander in all formats for much of the 2012 campaign. (Updated 12/13/2011). |

Wakefield wants one more year: According to the Boston Globe, pitcher Tim Wakefield is preparing himself to play in 2012. I have a strong desire to pitch one more year for the Red Sox, Wakefield said. Wakefield was the oldest player in the majors last year. He went 7-8 with a 5.12 ERA for the Red Sox. I havent weighed all my options yet, he said. Wakefield hasn't ruled out playing for a National League team either. (Updated 12/03/2011) Fantasy Analysis Wakefield has 186 wins with the Sox, six shy of tying the franchise record held by Cy Young and Roger Clemens. Even if he returns to Boston, or goes to an NL team, Wakefield doesn't warrant much Fantasy attention. He can be ignored on Draft Day in 2012. (Updated 12/03/2011). |

Brandon Belt, LF Belt making some adjustments: Giants 1B/OF Brandon Belt hit .300 in 28 games in winter league play this offseason. He bounced between the majors and minors during his rookie campaign, but general manager Brian Sabean thinks Belt took some strides in acquiring a starting role next year. I think he made a concerted effort to make some adjustments, Sabean told MLB.com. Its not Major League pitching, but you still have to have an approach. All the reports that we got from Moises Alou, whos the general manager there, were favorable. He was playable in the outfield. We know his best position is probably first base, but this was a nice step for him. Im really happy and pleased that he accepted this challenge. (Updated 12/01/2011) Fantasy Analysis Belt hit .225 in 63 games for the Giants, but was sent back to the minors three times. Belt emerged as a top prospect last season when he hit .352 with 23 homers and 22 steals in the minors. Things are looking up for him, which means Fantasy owners should keep an eye on the rest of his offseason and spring training. Belt's upside will make him an intriguing late-round pick in Fantasy in 2012. (Updated 12/01/2011). |
|
Mark Ellis, 2B Ellis heads back to West Coast: FOXSports.com reports that free agent 2B Mark Ellis has signed a two-year deal with the Dodgers. The contract would pay Ellis $8.75 million over the two years. Ellis hit .248 with seven home runs, 41 RBI and 14 stolen bases this year with the A's and Rockies. (Updated 11/14/2011) Fantasy Analysis Ellis' stats got a boost when he moved from Oakland to Colorado this season, but playing his home games at Dodger Stadium won't help his cause in Fantasy. Owners should view the veteran second baseman as an option for NL-only leagues. (Updated 11/14/2011). |

Miguel Cairo, 3B Cairo has surgery, ends season: According to MLB.com, Reds INF Miguel Cairo underwent arthroscopic surgery to clean up his right shoulder on Friday. Cairo is expected to make a full recovery in time for spring training next year. (Updated 09/23/2011) Fantasy Analysis Cairo batted .265 in 102 games with eight home runs and 33 RBI for the Reds in 2011. He wasn't an everyday player and likely will have this role next year too. Fantasy owners in all formats should cut ties with Cairo and not target him on Draft Day in 2012. (Updated 09/23/2011). |

Roger Bernadina, CF Bernadina gets back on track: Nationals OF Roger Bernadina, who was making his third start in four games after missing about two weeks when he sliced open his hand, had a big performance Tuesday in Game 1 of a doubleheader at Philadelphia. He went 2 for 5 with a three-run homer, his second since the team brought him back to the majors on Sept. 2. (Updated 09/20/2011) Fantasy Analysis Bernadina has split his time between the majors and the minors this season, but he has started more often than not when in the majors. At age 27, he's unlikely to become much of a difference-maker in Fantasy, but he's a decent base-stealer with a little bit of pop. If he's able to claim a starting job heading into 2012, he'll be worth drafting in NL-only leagues. (Updated 09/20/2011). |
|
Tim Byrdak, R Mets bring back Byrdak for 2012: The Mets signed LHP Tim Byrdak to a one-year deal for 2012. Byrdak pitched two-thirds of an inning Sunday at Atlanta, allowing one hit and recording two strikeouts. He has a 2.89 ERA in 69 appearances this season. (Updated 09/18/2011) Fantasy Analysis Byrdak is a good left-handed specialist, but he pitches minimal innings and doesn't have a chance to make a real contribution even in NL-only leagues. Leave him on waivers. (Updated 09/18/2011). |

Gary Brown, of Brown won't be joining Giants in '11: According to the San Jose Mercury News, Giants general manager Brian Sabean said he won't promote OF Gary Brown this September when rosters expand. (Updated 08/30/2011) Fantasy Analysis Brown hit .338 with 12 homers and 78 RBI in his 124 games with Class A San Jose this season. With the news that he won't be called up this year, Fantasy owners just have to wait another year or two to see Brown in a San Francisco uniform. Continue to view him as a long-term keeper option. (Updated 08/30/2011). |

Zack Wheeler, rhp Wheeler makes Mets' debut : Mets SP prospect Zack Wheeler allowed four runs on seven hits over four innings during his organizational debut on Monday night. Wheeler, who was acquired in a trade from the Giants last week, pitched for Class A St. Lucie and also recorded four strikeouts during his outing. (Updated 08/01/2011) Fantasy Analysis Wheeler is a highly-touted former first-round draft pick and was the Giants' top pitching prospect, according to Baseball America. While he is highly unlikely to pitch in the big leagues next year, Wheeler looks to have a bright future in New York and could compete for a spot in the rotation next season. Continue to stash him in long-term keeper leagues moving forward. (Updated 08/01/2011). |
