I think the change of scenery can only help Adam LaRoche. Instead of batting late in a strong Braves line-up, he’ll bat 4th for the Pirates — right behind batting champion Freddy Sanchez and in front of All Star Jason Bay. Not to mention the Pirates park is made for lefties with a short right field. He had 32 homers last season…I see 40 this season.

While I’d like to agree with Seth Y, the fact is catchers only play 5 days a week. Mauer is a stand out, but I was already surprised to see Mauer ranked 30 here (although I believe these rankings were compiled by a twins fan). I really hope Mauer will DH on off days behind the plate, but I’m not the manager, and I’m pretty sure the twins know they’ve got a 23 yr old hall of famer on their hands right now.

Anyone else think these rankings dont show much love for pitchers? In my 6×6 roto league, a reliable starter is invaluable.

I think Joe Mauer should be bumped up a few more rankings. Being a catcher he is very valuable and being so young with his stats last yr, the guy is just gonna be so much better. Come on, arent you from Minnesota, show some love.

We shall see. I understand what you’re saying, but I’m trying to predict what will happen, not necessarily what has or should. Your point is noted though, I’ll keep a close eye on Daisuke and Bonderman. Not that spring training means anything but he did throw three scoreless innings today. 47 pitches, 31 for strikes, with a first-pitch strike to 10 of 12 the batters

Incidentally, I’m a Twins fan and the NY Yankees are my most hated team in all of sports.

how can you rank daisuke matsuzaka ahead of
jeremy bonderman when the guy has never pitched
in the major leagues.His stats in japan mean
nothing in the major leagues.You should rethink
this ranking until he proves he can pitch in
the big leagues and get big league hitters out
effectively.These ranking could only come from
a yankee fan.Go TIGERS
