The Doctor is in...

Question #1: I am in an AL only league.  Is there anyone that came over from the NL that I should have my eye on? - Stephen, Merrick, NY

Stephen: The obvious answer is Cliff Lee who is a potential CY Young candidate now pitching for the Seattle Mariners. But Dr. Roto will give you two number #2 hitters to look at. The first is Nick Johnson (Yankees). Nick should bat second in a tremendous offensive lineup. If he can stay healthy, look for him to match his career highs in HR and RBI. Next, take a close look at Orlando Hudson (Twins). Hitting second in front of Mauer and Morneau will mean tons of fastballs and career high numbers for the O-Dog.

Question #2: Carlos Zambrano has reportedly dropped a lot of weight this winter, do you feel this will translate into a quality fantasy 2010 stats? - Harold, Naval War College

Harold: Zambrano may have dropped weight, but he hasn't dropped any innings off that pitching arm. He is a 28 year old with the arm of a 35 year old. If that doesn't scare you off, then you need to call my office for an emergency appointment.

Question #3: Jake Peavy is being thrown back into my draft this year. Do you expect a bounce-back vintage Peavy type season? - Christopher, Oakland, CA

Christopher: Dr. Roto thinks Peavy will actually struggle a bit in the AL. That is not to say he will be an average pitcher (he is well above average), but that his numbers will be down. I would not be surprised to see him with an ERA in the mid to high 3's and a WHIP around 1.2. These are decent numbers but not the stud numbers that we have come to expect from Peavy.

Question #4: What are your 2010 projections for Max Scherzer? - Greg, Liverpool, UK

Greg: Dr. Roto likes Scherzer's potential, but is not sold on him just yet. Let's give him 11 wins with a 3.98 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 150 K's. Solid numbers, but not spectacular.

Question #5: As a fantasy novice, do I have a better chance of competing n a weekly transaction league or a daily transaction league? - Aaron, Hollywood, FL

Aaron: Dr. Roto recommeds that you stay far away from daily transactions leagues if you are a novice. A fantasy baseball season is a marathon not a sprint. You need to reserve energy and keep up with your team by making the trades and waiver pickups necessary to get you to the finish line. Start off with a weekly league. This should give you time to scout out the available talent each week and read as many websites as possible to find your information. Good luck!
