Strat 360°

IF - Alberto Callaspo, Arizona - I can see him getting some at bats in the infield.  He was a very good hitter in the minor leagues and just needs the opportunity.

C - Brian Schneider, Washington - It can’t be as bad as it was last year in terms of hitting.  

C - Yadier Molina, St. Louis - Ditto.  Plus I just read he’s the best clutch hitter in baseball.

C - Mike Napoli, Los Angeles - You might tank the average category but the home runs will help if you need ‘em.

1B - Kendry Morales, Los Angeles - He has good tools.  It’s just a matter of him putting it together and I don’t think the Angels can count on a really healthy team this year.

SP - Daniel Cabrera, Baltimore - The history of high walks will scare away people and I think it’s about time for the real breakout.   You should get Cabrera cheap this year.

SP - Esteban Loaiza,OAK - He should do OK for wins and ERA in this ballpark. 

RP - Jorge Julio, Arizona - Could be a cheap source for some additional saves during the season.    

C - J.D. Closser, Milwaukee - Getting out of Colorado could be the best thing that ever happened to him.

RP - Danys Baez, Baltimore - Potential cheap saves and definitely undervalued after a bad last year.

OF - Hunter Pence, Houston - The Astros will need his bat in the outfield if they want to make a run this year.

SP - Doug Davis, Arizona - The team should be good and he’ll get the wins.   A poor 2006 season really lowered his value.

SP - Kip Wells, St. Louis - This is the team that can turn him around and finally realize that potential.

RP - Edwin Jackson, Tampa Bay - This is the make or break year and he’ll finally push through to the rotation.

DH - Adam Lind, Toronto - He can flat out hit and the Jays will need him in the lineup because Thomas won’t stay healthy.

3B/LF - Josh Fields, White Sox - He could end up with very decent number because there is some pop in the bat.
