Alex Rodriquez is a high quality player, and is worth every penny the Yankees pay him Ok, last year was his contract year, but he is obviously more secure as a 3rd baseman and is able to concentrate on his hitting skills. He should be picked 1st or 2nd?
The New York press will hound Alex Rodriquez because of his alleged steroid use, will this be a distraction for Alex? Check out my article at Alex Rodriquez will He be Picked Number 1, for some more information on Alex Rodriquez in the 2009 Fantasy Draft.

LaRussa is giving Albert Pujols days off so that he can be 100% during the regular season. He might even get quite a bit of April off because of his elbow. He will certainly slide down in most Fantasy Drafts. Check out my article Albert Pujols Should You Pick Him #1 in Your 2009 Fantasy Draft.

Hanley Ramirez is the latest 30 - 30 player in baseball. He is bulked up and weighs 225 pounds, so he should be able to hit more homeruns this year, even though his base stealing should be down. Read more about Hanley Ramirez Should be Your #1 Fantasy Baseball Pick to get the full scoop on Hanley.

When Mark Teixeira played the last 64 games with the Los Angeles Angels he hit like he never hit before. He was a hot hitter, and he should be even hotter with the New York Yankees this year. Check out my article Make Mark Teixeira Your Number One Pick about why I think that Mark Teixeira will do well with the Bronx Bombers.

The first two or three rounds are easy. Usually, this is a given, you pick Rodriquez, Pujols, Howard, Ortiz, Ramirez, Guerrero, Reyes, etc. But what about after the 5th round or later, I lucked out this by picking Josh Beckett in the 5th round. Why? Well, the previous year (2006) Beckett was a touch above average, he was young 27, playing for an excellent team, he could only get better, so I picked him in the 5th round. I also picked Wang in 12th round, but gave up on him too early in the season and dropped him! What a mistake that turned out to be! I also picked up CC Sabathia in the 8th round. He had another excellent year! There were many predictions that this was the Indians year, so I figured it was going to be Sabathia's year. Well my pitching stats were pretty good, my hitting stats took a beating and dragged me down.
