ZiPS Analysis
ZiPS projections are up for the Brewers, Cardinals, and Cubs. A few possible sleepers for 2009:
- Angel Salome, C. .277-11-51-48-2, but Jason Kendall has the starting job.
- Yovani Gallardo, SP. 3.73 ERA, 1.33 WHIP. Could slip due to a lost '08. I'm a bit disappointed by the WHIP projection.
- Ryan Braun, Rickie Weeks, and Manny Parra have definite upside for sleeper fantasy seasons. Yes, even Braun (he could hit 50 HR).
- Ryan Ludwick, OF. ZiPS is a believer, calling for 31 HR if Ludwick can reach 538 ABs again.
- Rick Ankiel, Ludwick, and Adam Wainwright are the upside picks. A sub-3.00 ERA for Wainwright, perhaps? 35 HR for Ankiel in his walk year?
- Geovany Soto, C. Another big year projected: .294 AVG, 25 HR, 91 RBI.
- Tyler Colvin and Sean Marshall have a bit of upside - 20 HR is possible for Colvin (somehow given full playing time), and Marshall could find his way to a sub-4.00 ERA.

Hey Tim,
I have turned a new leaf in fantasy baseball as I have been playing for the past 8-9 years. Typically I have dumped the catcher spot unless I can get a top guy. However; I have realized that getting decent stats from this position can really help you in the end. I still am not a fan of drafting catchers early because of punishment they take behind the plate. Plus I feel as though they are definitely the most unreliable position on the field. (NL) ONLY LEAGUES - Sorry no DH so therefore I would rather spend a higher draft pick on or even middle round pick on a guy I can definitely count on over the course of the year.
What are some early projections for NL catchers. Ex. Doumit-Flores-Molina- Sandoval??? (will he even qualify at C ? ) The middle tier catchers after B. McCann and of course R. Martin
