It’s that time of year again where yours truly sits back and just waits…  I hope for the boys of summer to return to the field as soon as possible. We look for the signs. Baseball fans know what I’m talking about. It’s the snow melting in the midwest. The Gloves popping in local parks. We listen to hear the sounds of America’s game during the summer as the sun begins to set.
Until then, we stare at fantasy previews for the 2009 season. Wondering, “Who would be a better pick? Victor Martinez or Brian McCann? ” We think of the 2008 season [...]

Over the holiday, I compiled my list of the top ten players in 2008, with the most value going int 2009. Overall, It was such an interesting season, that when you look at this Top ten, you might be surprised at some of the names on there.  But then again maybe not.  Let’s break it down!
 
10.) Matt Forte, RB Chicago- The best rookie rusher period. I would have him higher, but it isn’t evident that Forte can carry the ball as a full time back. What is interesting about Forte is despite the fact that he rushed for over 1200 [...]

After finishing 81-81 in 2008, the Cleveland Indians have been one of the most aggressive teams this off-season. One look at this roster has baseball fans and analysts thinking that this team has yet another chance to make a big run in 2009. Today’s value meter takes a look at the 2009 top ten valued players for the Cleveland Indians.
10.) Mark DeRosa, 3B/2B/OF- DeRosa is always a good player to stash on the bench, because he can play multiple positions, while hitting for power and average. DeRosa had 21 homers and 87 RBIs for the Cubs in 2008, with 30 [...]

New England has done it again. Drafted in the seventh round of the 2005 NFL draft, Matt Cassel was considered a throw away pick. He never started a game at the college level. Bill Belichek and company found out different though early in 2008 when Tom Brady went down and made many fantasy owners cry (literally, cry).
When Matt Cassel finally found a rhythm though, we could finally dry up some of those tears. 3,693 yards and 21 touchdowns later, owners in keeper leagues are stick in the situation of figuring out what to do with 2008’s from rags to riches [...]
