Preview/Prediction

Our 2011 fantasy baseball projections will be released one-by-one until the top 100 players have been revealed. These rankings consider past achievements, current performance and expected future results based on standard 5×5 H2H settings.

The Twins haven't won a World Series since the 1991 team beat the Bobby Cox led Braves. Ever since then it has been quite a rocky road for the team in the Twin Cities. In the playoffs, they have gone 6-21 since 2002 and 0-9 since 2004. Their most hated postseason opponents are clearly the New York Yankees, who have eliminated them the last two times the Twins have made the playoffs (2009 and 2010).

Although the entire city of New York is focused on the Jets and their quest for the Lombardi trophy, it's tough to ignore the fact that Spring Training is under a month a way. After all, New York is and always will be a baseball town.

Mets pitchers and catchers report to Port St. Lucie on Feb. 18th after a rather quiet offseason. The Mets front office and coaching staff may look a lot different, but the roster hasn't changed much.

It's hard to believe it has been 20 years since the Twins won their second World Series Championship.

Known as the "Worst to First" series because both the Minnesota Twins and the Atlanta Braves finished the 1990 season in last place in their divisions only to advance to the pinnacle of the baseball world in 1991.

Last year, for the first time in 56 years the San Francisco Giants won the World Series.

Looking at their roster, it's easy to see who was most responsible for their victory.

The Giants boast one of the top rotations in the league, including a two-time Cy Young winner in Tim Lincecum, an All-Star in Matt Cain and two of the best young pitchers in the game with Jonathan Sanchez and Madison Bumgarner. Their shut-down pitching was a key reason for their win in the Autumn Classic.

But let's take a look at their offense.

Chase Utley has widely been considered the top fantasy second baseman for several years. Until now.

The Toronto Blue Jays pulled off a shocker of a trade today when they dealt away long time Blue Jay and severely overpaid center fielder Vernon Wells to Anaheim for catcher/first baseman Mike Napoli and right fielder Juan Rivera.

Wells had four years and $86 million remaining on his contract, and while we are not yet aware of the exact amount of that the Jays are eating, it is being reported that it will be approximately $5 million.

Joey Votto did work on NL pitching in 2010, setting career highs across the board with 106 runs, 37 HRs, 113 RBI, 16 steals and a whopping .324 batting average.

Since Jim Leyland took over as the manager of the Detroit Tigers in 2006, the Tigers have followed a disturbing trend in every season except 2008 (when the heavily favored Tigers finished in last place and were never in contention).  Each season the Tigers started hot, only to fade quickly after the All-Star break.

A team collapse once or twice happens, but four out of five years definitely warrants concern among the fan base.
