Fantasy Baseball Advice

Fantasy baseball leagues are filling up everywhere, and it is time to study if you haven't joined yet. Let me bring a few guys to your attention. One steal is 3B Melvin Mora, who hit 104 RBI's last season. At age 37, it would be unfair to expect such numbers again, but keep him in mind for the bench later on or as a utility player. Of the Jimmy Rollins-Jose Reyes-Hanley Ramirez shortstop craze, you need to compare the stats here. Ramirez strikes out a ton, his 122 strikeouts in 2008 were exactly 40 more than Reyes and 67 more than Rollins. Ramirez, however, had a .400 OBP, 42 points better than Reyes and 51 points better than Rollins. Rollins should have a better year this year because of injuries last season, but how much farther can he go? Ramirez, also known for his power bat, had an easy lead over the other two in home runs with 33. Reyes had 16 and Rollins 11, but Rollins hit 30 during his MVP 2007 season. The biggest stat with these table-setters: Stolen bases. Reyes had the most steals with 56, then Rollins at 47, and finally Ramirez at 35. If you take the averages from the last three years, though, here they are:
Ramirez averaged 46 SB's, Reyes averaged 66 SB's, and Rollins averaged 41 SB's, making Jose Reyes clearly the stolen base king.
However, considering all that Hanley Ramirez brings to the table, I would go with him over the other two. 46 stolen bases is all I need, plus his 30 HR and 80 RBI bat and .400 OBP. The only downside is the strikeouts, but it is more than worth it.
As for the New York third basemen, take David Wright over A-Rod because of A-Rod's inconsistencies and new steroid admittance. Wright has a higher batting average, and so is more productive. Alex Rodriguez saw a drop of 30 walks in a down year for him, and David Wright had 94 to Rodriguez' 65. Wright collects more hits, too. Wright is young and beginning a career, and with Rodriguez at 33, he could be leaving the prime of his career soon. Wright is only 26 and is still entering his prime.
Take my advice. It's the Wright thing to do.
