In Part 1 and Part 2 of my analysis of ESPN’s 2010 preview, we looked at some open-ended questions like “Who will win the AL Cy Young?” and “Who is the second-best catcher?” Today, we change up the pace.

Adrian Beltre Comes to Boston
Adrian Beltre was bothered by injuries for most of his 2009 season, but now that he is in Boston with a better ballpark and lineup can we expect a bounce back season from the 31-year old?
ESPN’s 2010 Preview, Part 2
The other day, ESPN released some of their fantasy experts’ predictions for 2010. We recapped a few of these projections in Part 1 of this mini-series, and today we pick it back up with Part 2.
Deviation From Career Norms: Shortstop
In the fourth installment of the series, I will be taking a look at the shortstop position. While shortstop remained a relatively weak position last year, there were some interesting player developments.
ESPN Previews 2010, So I Will Too!
ESPN released some 2010 predictions for both football and baseball today, and I’ve been reading them over for a little while. I thought this would be a good time to get the conversation going.
Deviation From Career Norms: Second Base
Last year’s second basemen were not your father’s (older brother’s?) second basemen. If you were in a 10 team league chances are you ended up with a highly productive second baseman on your hands.
Deviation From Career Norms: First Base
Yesterday I looked at the catcher position and identified players whose past year deviated from their career averages. Today I will do the same for first basemen and determine if last year’s stats are the start of a new trend or merely an anomaly.
Deviation From Career Norms: Catchers
There is a certain amount of comfort in fantasy baseball. Although we don’t know exactly what a player’s stats will be at the end of the year, we generally have an idea of how they will perform. So who can we expect to play to their career norms and for whom is this the new norm?
Dec. 28: High Upside, FA/Late-Round Picks
I stumbled across an interesting thread on Fantasy Baseball Cafe today that attempted to identify who some late-round players to draft might be. There were many good suggestions (and many bad ones) but I thought I’d post the link for anyone to read through.
Javier Vazquez to New York… Again
Expect a very similar second stint in New York for Javier Vazquez. Simple statistics show he will be a serviceable fourth starter but not much else.
