Shane Victorino Player Projection No. 82

Found January 22, 2012 on Fantasy Baseball 365: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Shane Victorino,  Matt Kemp,  Matt Holliday,  Brett Gardner,  Chase Utley,  Ryan Howard,  Jimmy Rollins
TEAMS: Philadelphia Phillies,  Los Angeles Dodgers,  St. Louis Cardinals,  New York Yankees

Key Stats: Shane Victorino is one of only four outfielders in fantasy baseball to be ranked in the top 100 each of the last four seasons. The other players in this club are Ryan Braun, Matt Kemp, and Matt Holliday. Not bad company. Skeptics Say: Hopefully the .186 average in September is just a bad month and not a player getting worn down. Victorino will be 31 this season, so it's unlikely he's getting worn down. What is likely to happen though is that he will start to see a decline in his stolen base attempts. Victorino attempted only 22 steals last season compared to 40 in 2010. Peer Comparison: On the point of his steals being down, I would take Brett Gardner over Victorino next season. Gardner has been ranked in the top 100 in each of the last two seasons, so he's no slouch either as far as consistent performance is concerned. What's to like? Durability. Gardner played in 27 more games last year and is about three years younger. Dominance in one category. G...

Just Say No to Francisco Cordero (And Brad Lidge, too)

Via Phillies Nation  |  January 24, 2012
Francisco Cordero. (MLB)It’s not that I don’t like the two relief pitchers. Brad Lidge will always have a place in my heart. He’ll go down as one of the best relievers in Phillies history, not to mention the most famous for his pose after throwing that beautiful slider to Carlos Ruiz in the 2008 World Series. We’ll always have those memories.Francisco Cordero...

Phillies 5th Outfielder: Damon or Pierre

Via We Should Be GM's  |  January 22, 2012
By all accounts, Ryan Howard will not be ready by Opening Day. Thus creating an open spot on the 25-man roster. The Phillies could use a player with some speed and the ability to play the outfield on their bench, something that Michael Martinez or Scott Podsednik would provide. However, Mini-Mart can't hit, and Pods wasn't in the Majors last season, and only played 34...

2012 Reader Top 30, #15

We’re almost halfway through the top 30, and things have progressed pretty close to how I assumed they would. Tyson Gillies edged out Lisalberto Bonilla for #14, with Austin Hyatt and Cesar Hernandez getting a fair bit of write-in support, so they will both be added to the voting for #15. As a reminder on eligibility for the list, to be eligible the player must have fewer than...
