Overrated fantasy baseball players get Ninjaed
If you came here looking for fantasy baseball news — and judging by my site stats, you’ probably did not — you are in luck. I just posted a big ol’ hunk of value at www.chinstrapninjas.com. Want to know five fantasy baseball players to avoid in your 2009 draft/auction? Of course you do.
Here’s an excerpt:
David Ortiz, DH, Red Sox
Key ‘08 stats
109 games
.264 AVG
.507 SLG
.876 OPSLike Derek Jeter and Atkins above, when you pay for Ortiz you’re paying for what he did in the past. Ortiz is 33 and his numbers have declined incrementally in each of the last two years. The one sure thing with Ortiz in recent season were his sterling percentages, but his batting average and OPS numbers were both 3-year lows last year. He hit just .264 with a .507 slugging. From 2004 to 2007 he had a .600+ Slugging percentage and hit over .300 in three of the four years. You could blame some of his other numbers on missing 50 games, but not the percentages. I look for his numbers to be solid — 20+ homers, 100+ RBIs, .290 average — but because of his name and team you’ll have to overpay. And don’t forget, he is only a DH, so in most leagues he can only play at the UTIL spot.
