It's raw, you donkey!
I see that the Reds have signed Devin Meseraco to a new deal. He is a catcher who I will keep in mind as the fantasy draft approaches. Easy to get stuck with a bad C position, in my experience.

This thought just struck me: I bet the cheap bastard Wilpons are freaking out that deGrom got Rookie of the Year. I wonder how long they have him under contract...
Hey TDs3nOut - Whatta ya think about Profar? Kid's barely 21 years old, can he come back from the surgeries? Taking baby steps now...throwing from 75 feet.
Afraid I don't have any insight, Chef. He was certainly a highly regarded prospect a couple of years ago. I know that some folks thought that he played too many different positions to really get a chance to settle in before getting hurt last year, which seems reasonable to me. I also read that the team is hopeful that he might be ready to play by opening day, but he is expected to be limited during spring training. Seems to me like a guy to keep an eye on early in the season, but as of what I know now (which isn't much), I doubt that I would draft him.
where do they play him, since Odor is going be second base?? the only open spot is left field, can he play the OF, or will they move someone else??
In addition to 2b, last year he played a little OF, as well as both SS and 3b. As always, injuries and ineffectiveness could present opportunities. Might even begin the year in the minors.

A guy Im eyeing as a sleeper(or backup in leagues Im forced to carry two Cs) is Alex Avila. His average will never be impressive, but he may end up as the opening day first baseman. Which is frightening.
I know that Jame Shields has been a pretty good pitcher over his career, but I've never been a big fan of his (e.g., I've never drafted him). Kind of curious how switching leagues and pitching in an ultimate pitcher's park might affect him this year, however. I think he might be worth taking somewhere between the middle and the late rounds.
What kind of enthusiasm do you have for Prince? Choo? Profair?
MLB Network analyst Cliff Floyd had predicted Matt Kemp to have a 30-30 season.
If he is correct, then all other analysts should forever bow down to him as the greatest prognosticator ever.
