JH-Sportsline's 2010 MLB Fantasy Preview: First Baseman

There are a lot of really solid First Baseman once again this season. If you don't get a Top-notch guy chances are you will still end up with a very productive player. This position has historically been the least injured. *My #1 Overall pick would be Albert Pujols. He is as close to a LOCK as it gets in Fantasy and has a rea ...  read more

Jeff's 2010 MLB Fantasy Rankings: Today= Catchers


It really helps to grab two solid Catchers when playing Fantasy Baseball. I know that's not an easy thing to do. The average starting Catcher plays about 110 games with the other 52 going to back-ups. Injuries are always a concern at this position and you should draft accordingly.

AFC East


New England Patriots (12-4)

If they all stay healthy this could be one heck of a team. That's a big IF! They are certainly loaded with talent from top to bottom.

Miami Dolphins (8-8)

Many experts are predicting big things from the Fish this year. I am not one of them. Teams and defensive coordinators will be better ...  read more

NFC Sleeper team (ATS)

Green Bay Packers


Head Coach: Mike McCarthy returns for his 4th season in Green Bay and is making the switch to the 3-4 defense like most teams seem to be doing this decade. After last year's 6-10 performance his career record is now 22-28. Not good enough in Green Bay. Four of the 6 wins last season came in the division. If this team can st ...  read more

Top AFC Sleeper team (ATS)


Cincinnati Bengals

Head Coach: Marvin Lewis enters season #7 as the Bengals head coach. The Bengals have a history of holding on to head coaches for long periods of time so his job is safe for the unforeseeable future. He is 46-50-1 the past six years but 50-45 against-the-spread (ATS). His team always plays hard. Cincinnati enters the new ...  read more

Jeff Hochman's 2009 MLB Fantasy Preview: Third Basemen (3B)


As you might expect this position is also thin and very injury riddled. I bumped Alex Rodriguez from #1 to #5 based on his injury. He is basically undraftable until we know exactly how long he will be out. Someone will either steal him or draft him too soon this year. I personally like drafting guys that start the sea ...  read more

Jeff Hochman's 2009 MLB Fantasy Preview: Shortstops

Jeff Hochman's 2009 MLB Fantasy Preview: Second Baseman


I would try to grab one of my Top 6 or take a strong look at my sleeper pick. The talent really falls off at this position so it would behoove you to draft a top-notch proven stud. If your drafting around #7 in the 1st round don't hesitate on scooping up Chase Utley. The guy has a short-compact swing and that fits nicel ...  read more
