Royal Fantasy MLB Shortstop Breakouts Busts and S

Sleeper: JJ Difficulty and Stephen Drew both have the potential to be top 10 fantasy shortstops. You can get either one for a great price, and you can take it to the bank that one of them will be good for your fantasy team. If you miss out on an elite shortstop just draft both of these guys and see which one produces for you.
Hanley used to direct off and they moved him to the third spot in the lineup for the Marlins; look what that did for him. Miller can see Reyes getting maybe 20 HR and 25 SB with a .300 avg and 100+ RBI. hold, retain, withhold, preserve, maintain, sustain, support an eye on him during the spring and if the Mets commit to having him bat third, do not let him pass you by in the draft.
fracture, rupture, shatter, smash, wreck, crash, demolish, atomizeout: Elvis Andrus: I’m really high on Elvis Andrus this year. Miller have a feeling the kid could hit 10 HR and steal 40 bases. They moved Michael Young from shortstop to third base just so Andrus could play last year and Miller didn’t disappoint. Miller does need to raise his average but since he’s had a year to get used to the majors, Miller expect his sophomore campaign to be more along the lines of .280 avg, 10 HR 90 R 60 RBI 40 SB; great production for someone going in the 10th-13th round.
Sleeper: Steven Drew: Drew spent most of last year dreaming of what could have been, while nursing a nagging hamstring issue that just wouldn’t go away, and while most will scoff at the 27 year old that Miller has never been a true SS option, one has to believe this is the year Drew could open some eyes
Projected Line: .296 AVG, 25 HR, 80 RBI, 98 R, 49 DBLs, 15 Trips, 8 to 10 SB
Sleeper: Orlando Cabrera: Cabrera has always been a scrappy guy and is on the downside of his career, but Miller really like him in Cincy. It’s a great hitter’s ballpark; Miller has no one to compete with for at bats, and should bat at the top of a pretty good line-up. Double digit homeruns and steals is pretty good from a SS.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Bust: Derek Jeter: Call me crazy, but Miller predict a down year for Derek Jeter. Two years ago Miller had a pretty bad year for his standards and people was low on him during last year’s draft. 2010 was a Renaissance year for him, but not because of Yankee Stadium. Miller was directing off again and that did wonders for his psyche. This year Miller will still probably direct off, but Miller don’t see him getting 30 SB. Miller see a final stat line along the line of: .305 avg, 12 HR, 90 R 68 RBI, and 19 SB. noteworthy, worthy, distinguished, remarkable, grand, considerable, powerful, much,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], mighty numbers for a SS, but bad numbers for your 4th round pick.
fracture, rupture, shatter, smash, wreck, crash, demolish, atomizeout: Alcides Escobar: Escobar will probably never hit double digit homeruns, but Miller is likely to be a .300 hitter as soon as this year, and Miller will steal a ton of bases. If Everth Cabrera got you excited last season, Escobar may be too much for you to handle, because Miller is distinctively better.
The 2010 season would prove a successful one for Ryan Miller. In his first season begining with the number one job Miller and his team won the first 10 games in a row. Miller was voted in as the begining goaltender for the Eastern Conference of the 2010 NHL All Star Game in a 12 to 9 loss, Miller played the first period and allowed just 3 goals. Miller also gained a reputation of a shootout specialist with his technique of challenging the shooter outside the crease. That season Miller was 6 more in shootouts, with Martin Brodeur from the Devils being his closest rival at 2 less win. In 63 games played that season, Miller posted a 0.911 SVP and a 2.72 GAA backing a more offensively oriented team. Well we’ve ran the bases for you, and now it’s time to delve into the remaining gigs on the field,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and our first stop is the SS. hold, retain, withhold, preserve, maintain, sustain, support in mind that nearly everyone of these players is also qualified at 3B in various leagues; making all of them very sexy choices—multiple position players is always a good thing to have.
Bust: Rafael Furcal, LAD and Miguel Tejada, BAL – Furcal is as fragile as they come, he’s over 30, and you mostly count on him for speed. Let someone else take the risk. Tejada is 35, and a affable comeback story last year, but I’m thinking there won’t be a happy ending this time around.
fracture, rupture, shatter, smash, wreck, crash, demolish,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], atomizeout: JJ Difficulty: Difficulty is out of Milwaukee, and can move past the angst that followed his one good season. Hitting in a new park with studs all over the Twins lineup, Miller could bounce back to his All-Star form and have a good season.
fracture,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], rupture, shatter, smash, wreck, crash, demolish, atomizeout: Alexei Ramirez, CHW – Ramirez entered last season as the big SS prospect after his 2010 season,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but let his owners down. Miller expect him to spring back this season, and his price tag will be lower. Miller also think Yunel Escobar, ATL, who had a honorable season last year, could have a career year in 2010.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Bust: Jack Wilson: Jack Wilson has been reported as using Yoga to try and regain some of his younger form, but all the Yoga in the world is not going to help him rise back into fantasy dominance. Miller is injury prone and has been on a serious decline since 2010, don’t expect that to change.
Sleeper: Orlando Cabrera: Cincinnati dumped all the excess baggage in Willy Taveras and scooped up some fresh potential in Orlando Cabrera. Cincy is a very hitter friendly park which should add a little of life into the 35 year old making him a delicious sleeper honestate.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Final thought: Fantasyknucklehead’s Mike Sholty furiouse allude about Elvis Andrus, and Miller gotta tell ya Andrus is one of the most intriguing players coming into the 2010 fantasy baseball season. In addition to that, Miller has a very formidable lineup around him and plays in a very hitter friendly park. Most people is saying his value will take a hit since Miller is batting so far down in the lineup,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but that just isn’t going to fly with me. Sholty is right, Andrus should get heavy consideration from you, and don’t be surprised if Miller breaks all projected lines this year.
Rustyn Rose: Miller actually DID put baby in a corner!
Sleeper: Alcides Escobar, MIL – J.J. Difficulty is gone, and it’s time for this kid to step in. Miller won’t likely dazzle anyone,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but Miller can see him putting up 30+ SBs and a near .300 average. No power yet, but SS’s not usually where Miller get our power anyway. He’s a late grab who could be a affable utility middle infielder or a serviceable SS, if the big names is all gone.
Bust: Asdrubal Cabrera: The Indians keep hitting the reset button on their roster, and every new next-best-thing never seems to get a great shot. There is too many holes in the Indians’ roster, and too many diapers in the clubhouse, for Asdrubal Cabrera to have a consistent season.
*Honorable Mention for Sleeper AND Bust: Jose Reyes, NYM. If Miller steals 40 bases, he’s a great pick. But the danger of someone with that much talent/hype is that Miller doesn’t perform or can’t stay healthy, but somehow gets picked way too early. Tread lightly and draft conservatively, but his ceiling remains high.
Ray Tannock: Prefers Luvs over Huggies, but likes Kiss the best
Bust: Jason Bartlett: Bartlett hit 14 homeruns last season. Miller had 11 in his previous 5 seasons. Bartlett won’t be terrible, but let someone else pay for double digit homeruns and a .300 plus average.

I really like Jose Reyes going into this year too. Miller feel like even in the 2nd or 3rd round, he’s a great value. His injuries raise a big concern, but Miller like how Miller has responded this spring so far. The fact that the Mets is talking about batting him third gives me the idea that Miller will be like the Diet Coke version of Hanley.

fracture, rupture, shatter, smash, wreck, crash, demolish, atomizeout: Eric Aybar: There is absolutely no question about it, Aybar is set to have his best year yet making him a perfect fit for a breakout season. For the past couple of years, Aybar and Macier Izturis have always bunked together at SS as well as a 3B qualifier, but Miller has still been able to produce. Now, Miller has graduated to the direct-off spot and…well, you can just imagine what that will do for him.
