Here are some guys you want to avoid come February for one reason or another:
1) Alex Rodriguez: Will not repeat his 2008 numbers, or even come very close. The only categories he'll do better in will be OBP and BBs, which most leagues don't count.
2) Mike Lowell- unless your league is deep, for the same reasons as A-Rod.
3) Aaron Rowand: Will be in a bigger ballpark, which is way tougher to hit in than Citizen's bank, and he will also be in a much worse lineup.
4) Evan Longoria: Or atleast dont count on him to start somewhere all year. He has no MLB experience, and will probably fizzle.

Runs Contributed
Here could be the most important Offensive stat:
the goal of Baseball is to score runs, right?
so for this stat, you would add RUNS and RBI together and than minus HRs to show how many runs they contributed to getting.
You minus HRs because if you didn't, that one run on the scoreboard wold count for 2 in this stat, since you get an RBI and run for a HR.
For example:
Alex Rodriguez had 143 HRs, and 156 RBI which equals 299 - 54 HRs= 245 Runs Contributed.
The other MVP, Jimmy Rollins, had the following score:
139 Rs + 94 RBI - 30 HR = 203 Runs Contributed.

Sleeper #2: Robinson Cano
Besides Joba Chamberlain, Cano could be The Yanks most valuable asset. He was 4th on the Yankees in batting AVG, with a
.306 average, 19 HRs, 97 RBI and 41 doubles in over 600 AB. At only 25, the concern is his defense, but lucky for us fantasy owners, we won't have to worry about that.
2007 Stats:
AVG: .306
HR: 19
RBI: 97
SB: 4
2008 Predictions:
AVG: .302
HR: 20
RBI: 95
SB: 7
