2009 Fantasy Baseball Surprises

Stephen Kersey — Fri, 22 May 2009 02:27:33 +0000

Yesterday, we took a look at the fantasy baseball disappointments so far in the 2009 baseball season. Today, we’ll take a look at the 2009 fantasy baseball surprises.

Raul Ibanez, Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies were happy when they acquired Ibanez in the offseason. Little did they know they’d be this happy with him. He already has 14 home runs, 37 RBI, 34 runs and four stolen bases for Philadelphia.

Aaron Hill, Toronto Blue Jays
The second baseman for the Blue Jays didn’t get much attention heading into the 2009 fantasy baseball season. Now, Hill is neck and neck with Ian Kinsler for the rights to the claim of best fantasy second baseman.

Adam Jones, Baltimore Orioles
Jones was considered a sleeper heading in the 2009 campaign. He’s now wide awake. The outfielder for the Orioles is hitting .370 and has nine homers, 27 RBI, 36 RBI and three steals.

Jason Bartlett, Tampa Bay Rays
Where did this production come from? Bartlett was a known commodity heading into this season — or so we thought. He’s on pace to shatter all his career-highs. Bartlett is hitting .379 with five homers, 22 RBI, 28 runs and 12 stolen bases.

Orlando Hudson, Los Angeles Dodgers
The Dodgers basically signed Hudson in the offseason because they thought he was too good to pass up. How right they were. He has a .413 on-base percentage to go with 30 runs, 27 RBI, four steals and three long balls.

Pacman Jones Reinstated – Fantasy Impact

admin — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 01:02:45 +0000

Pacman Jones, who now insists on the name Adam Jones, has been reinstated by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Jones had been suspended from the NFL for numerous run-ins with the law.

In terms of fantasy football, Jones makes the Dallas Cowboys defense much more dangerous. He’s a big play threat that can intercept a pass and score a touchdown at any given moment. He should help make Dallas a top five defense in the 2008 fantasy football season.

Jones is also very valuable as a kick returner. If you get kick returner points for yardage or touchdowns, Jones being reinstated is very good news. Outside of Devin Hester, few players are in Jones’ class of raw speed and ability.

Expect Pacman Jones (or Adam Jones) to make more and more of an impact in fantasy football as the season progresses. The only thing that could hold him back is if he gets in trouble with the law again.

Pacman Jones No More – Meet Adam Jones

admin — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 03:17:04 +0000

Pacman Jones no longer wants to be known as Pacman Jones. Instead, the Dallas Cowboys defensive back wants to go by his birth name of Adam Jones.

Since being partially reinstated by Roger Goodell, Jones has been on his best behavior. In an effort to rehabilitate his image, Jones is now dropping his nickname. His Dallas teammates have been impressed by his play and his dedication to the team during the Cowboys recent practices.

Jones will need to continue to be on his best behavior to get fully reinstated for the 2008 season. Since being drafted, Jones has been arrested six times and there were six other incidents that required police intervention.

However, since the Tennessee Titans traded him to the Cowboys, Jones hasn’t seen his name in the police blotter. Adam Jones hopes that remains the case.
