I’ve recently listed my Top 10 overall for 2012. Note: Ryan Braun has been added my Top 10, so, technically, all these guys move down one slot. So here’s my 12-21.
12. Adrian Gonzalez 1B, BOS. I don’t know if the power drop-off was due to his shoulder issues or adapting to an easy, giant, left [...]
Top 10 Fantasy Second Baseman
Rickie Weeks MIL – .284-11-26-43-7. After his stellar season in ‘10, Weeks is having another solid season for the Brew Crew in 2011. He had his career high in plate appearances and games played last year and is on his way to repeating.
Robinson Cano NYY – .277-12-39-33-5. Many people expected [...]
With question marks surrounding Chase Utley, Robinson Cano slides into the top spot. He’s 28, entering his prime, plays in a solid ballpark for lefties, in a lineup that would be competitive at an All-Star game. Don’t get me wrong, I like Utley and thought he was capable of 28/18. But his lingering health concerns [...]
Robinson Cano NYY (5) – .320-29-109-103-3 in 626 AB. BOOM! Robbie had an MVP caliber season for the Yankees in 2010 – just not better than some guy named Hamilton. Throughout all the slumps and injuries the Bronx Bombers had this year, Cano was always their rock and stabilizer. Right now, I have him ranked [...]
Sorry, we’re closed…. This is the first year since 1994 that there was not a single player in either league to reach this prestigious mark. Last player to do it? Ian Kinsler of the Texas Rangers, last season, 31/31.

Some DL news:
Jorge De La Rosa, SP, COL – My man De La Rosa will be missing some time. According to sources, he has a torn flexor band on his middler finger on his throwing hand and will likely miss at least of month before he sees the mound again. FUDGE ME. He’s been pitching [...]
