This weekend will mark the half way point in the MLB 162 game season. Rather than wait for the All Star game, I like to name my all star fantasy team at the actual half way point in the season. So, here we go
2010 First Half All Star Fantasy Team:
Catcher: Miguel Oliva - really? .312 average and a .921 OPS
First Base: Miguel Cabrera - legitimate triple clown candidate
Second Base: Robinson Cano- may be the first half MVP
Third Base: David Wright - good to see his power numbers start to bounce back
Short Stop: Hanley Ramirez - the only SS in the top 50 fantasy players
Outfield: Vlad Guerrero - nice to see the old dog keep slamming
Outfield: Josh Hamilton - see what he can do when healthy
Outfield: Carl Crawford - let the Yankees rumors begin
Starting Pitcher: Ubaldo Jiminez - can he keep it up for the entire year?
Starting Pitcher: Josh Johnson - he's still grossly underpaid even after the extension
Starting Pitcher: Adam Wainright - all he does is pitch well and win
Relief Pitcher: Billy Wagner - finally gives the Braves the lock down closer
Relief Pitcher: Mariano Rivera - it's just a given he's on this team
2010 First Half All Star Fantasy 2nd Team:
Catcher: Victor Martinez - it's been a bad fantasy year for the catching position
First Base: Joey Votto - he will begin to garner some MVP votes if he keeps it up
Second Base: Martin Prado - I hope you picked him up earlier in the year as he keeps raking
Third Base: Kevin Youkilis - should get his first .300, 30 HR, 100 RBI season
Short Stop: Jose Reyes - man it's been a terrible year at this position too
Outfield: Alex Rios - proving me wrong all year long
Outfield: Carlos Gonzalez - the youngster is a five tool threat and a super star in the making
Outfield: Ryan Braun - the hebrew hammer makes the 2nd team in a sub par year for him
Starting Pitcher: Roy Halladay - surprised he's not having a better year
Starting Pitcher: Jered Weaver - he's putting up great stats so far
Starting Pitcher: Cliff Lee - look for his value to skyrocket with a trade to a contender
Relief Pitcher: Jose Valverde - locking down games for the surprising Tigers
Relief Pitcher: Rafael Soriano - can he stay healthy for an entire year?
That's all for this week. We'll be back the usual format next Friday.
Enjoy the 4th of July weekend!
