Some of these guys are obvious, some not so obvious. I'm not psychic, nor am I a scout for the Yankees. Thank God for both. All I'm saying is these guys are gonna get a lotta play on my rosters. Maybe you want to steal an idea or two. There will be some studs from this group.

Some possible busts could be Braun, Pence, and Willits. Rookies have a tendancy to have a tale of two seasons. At least watch out for an extended slump or two from each. Big name busts - Arod (.280 w/ 40/15/45 is a BIG bust from here on out), Clemens (I'm telling you, and I've said it since Spring Training, this team is not making the playoffs), Jenks (was he on the all-star team, cmon), Haren (won't carry your team), Jimmy Rollins (I love this guy, but again, won't carry your team), Posada (even in the contract year) and Ordonez.

Anyway, we'll know in a few month if any of this should've helped. Good luck to all - enjoy the rest of the season.
