ARI: Mark Reynolds - .281/.352/.510
- I'm really unsure as to what will happen with Mark Reynolds and Chad Tracy, now that Tracy is healthy. I've projected both here for a little over 400 AB's apiece. WAVE sees Reynolds hitting .281/73/21/75/0 in 416 AB.
ARI: Chad Tracy - .291/.360/.493
- See above. WAVE projects Tracy to hit .291/63/17/63/2 in 420 AB in '08.
COL: Garrett Atkins - .307/.375/.492
- Atkins is a solid run producer capable of hitting for a high AVG. His true abilities probably lie somewhere in between his 2006 and 2007 numbers. WAVE pegs him at .307/90/24/114/2 in 610 AB for 2008.
LAD: Nomar Garciaparra - .294/.343/.430
- LA will likely go with the veteran to start the season, with LaRoche taking over, at the latest, when rosters expand. If Nomah starts slow again like he did in '07, Joe Torre shouldn't hesitate to go with the youngster. WAVE is projecting .294/47/11/61/2 in 395 AB.
LAD: Andy LaRoche - .262/.353/.432
- Andy, the younger brother of PIT first baseman Adam, and son of former MLB pitcher Dave, should easily prove to be the best hitter in the family in due time. LaRoche should be eased into a starting job, and may even begin the season in AAA. A must-have in keeper leagues, WAVE likes him for a .262/48/8/32/2 line in 248 AB.
SD: Kevin Kouzmanoff - .290/.346/.484
- The Crushin' Russian batted only .113 in April and .228 in the first half. His sub-par '07 season totals hide the fact that Kouzmanoff batted .317 with 11 HR after the All-Star break, making him an ideal sleeper, and a breakout candidate for 2008. WAVE: .290/67/22/90/2 in 541 AB.
SF: Rich Aurilia - .267/.319/.417
- Aurilia played 9 games at second base and 12 at shortstop in '07. If he qualifies at either position or MI in your league, he has some value. Otherwise, pass. WAVE projects: .267/61/13/61/1 in 475 AB.
