CHC: Ryan Theriot - .296/.362/.396
- WAVE is projecting 'The Riot' as a bit of a sleeper for 2008. Theriot looks like a solid bargain as far as cost relative to production. Keep in mind however, that a slow start could result in Ronny Cedeno getting another extended look at SS. .296/95/5/51/34 in 531 AB.
CIN: Alex Gonzalez - .267/.318/.429
- Moderate power and nothing much else. More of an NL only type. WAVE projects .267/51/12/51/1 in 401 AB.
HOU: Miguel Tejada - .300/.353/.465
- Steroid allegations may play a role in Tejada's 2008 performance. That sentiment will allow you to get Miguel on the cheap come draft day. Tejada missed time in 2007 due to a fractured right wrist, that ended the 5th longest consecutive games played streak in history. It was only two seasons ago that he batted .330 and posted 100 RBI, and the move to a favourable hitters park should help him return to elite SS numbers. Grab him at a discounted price, and reap the rewards. WAVE: .300/90/24/98/3 in 650 AB.
MIL: J.J. Hardy - .285/.339/.464
- Hardy finally came into his own in '07. Surrounded by a group of young studs in the MIL lineup should ensure strong totals for years to come. WAVE pegs him at .285/88/24/83/1 in 590 AB in 2008.
PIT: Jack Wilson - .277/.326/.399
- 2004 is a distant memory, and while Wilson certainly won't hurt you in any particular category, he's not much of a help either. WAVE projects .277/65/10/50/3 in 516 AB.
STL: Cesar Izturis - .257/.303/.322
- Defense alone should keep Izturis in the starting lineup for most of 2008. Not a valuable fantasy commodity. WAVE: .257/41/1/26/5 in 416 AB.
