2007 Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs Fantasy Values

by faketeams on Jan 4, 2007 8:29 AM EST in Baseball

The Reds have a very good roster of fantasy hitters. Somewhat surprising given the team's real life mediocrity. If any of GM Wayne Krivsky's middle relievers could be CY Young contenders....

The Cubs have three elite hitters in Alphonso Soriano, Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramirez. The rest of their hitters are good, too. Their pitching looks very good from a fantasy perspective. If I didn't know better, I'd say these guys look like contenders.

Dempster

Until Kerry Wood successfully closes, repeatedly, Dempster has the job. Piniella is not wedded to any pitcher on the staff, so I'd expect a short leash on Dempster. Success, though, may disappoint Wood owners all season as they await the closing portion of his career.
