The player you think will breakout fantasy wise outside of Young this year...

Many candidates with Upton, Dukes possibly Longoria or a return to fantasy glory with Cantu, Gomes or Baldelli.

Didn't Baldelli already get hurt again?

Dont count on Cantu, he just got sent to the minors. BJ Upton has a big opportunity now.

I'm curious to see what Elijah Dukes will do until Baldelli returns to the outfield.

Elijah Dukes will have a better season than Delmon Young. For reals.

Upton will steal like 50 bases, too.

I think Upton has to be the guy. Hopefully the Drays actually stick with the guy.

Upton can steal tons of bases. Crawford will have another great year.

I have a rule. Don't trust D-Rays players until you have reason to trust them. There's just something about that franchise that causes them to screw up anything and everything. The only guys I feel confident about on that team are Crawford and Delmon. That's right, I even have my doubts about Kazmir staying healthy.

Keep you eye on Upton because that's a lot of potential right there. Longoria should come on strong late in the summer, but don't add him to your roster anytime soon. Dukes just wreaks of Milton Bradley (in a bad way).

Looking for a pitching sleeper? Jeff Niemann has to be the guy. At 6-9 he's just huge. He finished strong at AA last season after coming back from injuries. His stuff is for real. Don't discount him as the Rays' #2 by the end of the year. He could be this year's Rich Hill.

I heard Kazmir has tired arm or w/e they call it....

But despite Dukes' attitude issues his talent cannot be denied. Don't you think if he gets an opportunity to play everyday he could be as good if not better than Young (with less speed) ?

Also who was that reliever in their system they signed whose coming back from a injuries but in '05 he had dominant numbers and was an up and coming prospect?
