C: Miguel Olivo
Olivo is producing above the likes of Mauer, McCann, and Victor Martinez; easy selection.

1B: Paul Konerko
Miggy, Votto, and Morneau are all having stellar years and were considerations, but when you get top level production from a guy not even drafted, that’s awesome.

2B: Robinson Cano
This was a close one. Martin Prado is offering top tier production at a very low price, but Cano is giving 1st round production.

3B: David Wright
The power is back. Wright is complete as it gets.

SS: Hanley Ramirez
Hanley may not hustle, but he produces.

OF: Carl Crawford
Crawford will win you Steals without hurting your team in other categories. Well worth the high draft pick.

OF: Josh Hamilton
All I’m saying is WOW.

OF: Vladimir Guerrero
I thought about Alex Rios, but I had to give the last spot to Big Bad Vlad.

Util: Martin Prado
He needs to be on the team somewhere.

SP: Josh Johnson
Except for the Win total, Johnson is the best pitcher in the league.

SP: Adam Wainwright
Look at Wainwright’s totals, they’re better than Ubaldo Jimenez.

RP: Billy Wagner
Wagner is dominating. The Saves aren’t leading the league, but the peripherals are all there.

The first half has been about the big stars producing. I’m sure there are many other players that could be included on this list. If you think I missed someone, post a comment and state your case.

• Buy: Players who offer great value at their current ADP.
• Sell: Players who offer low value at their current ADP.
• Gamble: Mostly high risk/reward, late round players (Sleepers).

Don’t simply avoid a player on the Sell List; just downgrade your expectations and target them a little lower.  Each player’s ADP is in parenthesis.

Catcher

• Buy: Victor Martinez (33) He’ll put up good numbers and play 150+ games unlike most other catchers.
• Sell: Jorge Posada (132) There are too many other young catchers available; don’t give yourself a headache.
• Sell: Joe Mauer (12) Too many missed games, 1st Round picks should play 150+ games.
• Gamble: Geovany Soto (164) Expect 130+ games and numbers closer to 2008.

First Baseman

• Buy: Ryan Howard (11) He’ll produce like any other 1B in Round 1 minus Great Albert.
• Sell: Lance Berkman (70) The injuries are too big of a concern.
• Gamble: Adam LaRoche (191) Expect 25 HR, 85 RBI, 85 R, and .270 AVG.

Second Baseman

• Buy: Jose Lopez (117) Looks to be progressing nicely; only other 100 RBI 2B will be Chase Utley.
• Sell: Aaron Hill (55) Expect a repeat of last year and be disappointed.
• Gamble: Rickie Weeks (193) Could pay off big with a 30/30 season.

Third Baseman

• Buy: Ryan Zimmerman (30) Not as big of a name as David Wright, but just as productive a round later.
• Buy: Aramis Ramirez (62) 30 HR, 100 RBI, and .290 AVG as the 8th 3B off the board sounds good to me.
• Sell: Gordon Beckham (98) The guy has mucho talent, but the Sophomore slump looms.
• Gamble: Edwin Encarnacion (349) If he bats fifth for the Blue Jays, 25 HR and 100 RBI are possibilities.

Shortstop

• Buy: Asdrubal Cabrera (149) Speed, AVG, and 2B eligibility make him very useful.
• Buy: Stephen Drew (123) Expect 100 R, 20 HR, and .285 AVG.
• Sell: Jose Reyes (25) Too many injury concerns and there is speed to be found later in the draft.
• Gamble: Alcides Escobar (216) Could grab 50 SBs if given the playing time.

Outfield

• Buy: Curtis Granderson (47) Expect .280 AVG, 35 HR, 25 SB, and 110 R.
• Buy: Juan Pierre (171) Remember him? Expect .290 AVG and 50 SBs.
• Buy: Michael Cuddyer (134) Solid .270 AVG, 25 HR, 90 RBI.
• Sell: Josh Hamilton (65) Injuries make him a huge risk, but the power is legit.
• Sell: Torii Hunter (99) You don’t get points for his defense, which is in decline by the way.
• Gamble: Julio Borbon (164) This year’s Chris Davis, but if he sticks, he’ll win you the SB category.
• Gamble: Drew Stubbs (285) Not sure what to make of this guy yet, but he’ll help with HRs or SBs.
• Gamble: Chris B Young (317) If he starts to get hot, HRs and SBs rain from the heavens.

Starting Pitcher

• Buy: Roy Halladay (24) Worth every penny, he’ll carve up the NL.
• Buy: Cole Hamels (90) Halladay will take the pressure off, he’s looking at 17 W, 180 Ks, and 3.50 ERA.
• Buy: Clayton Kershaw (96) He’s ready to elevate into fantasy stardom; 1st Round pick next year.
• Sell: Chris Carpenter (65) The injuries will come.
• Sell: Zack Greinke (30) The Ks are legit, but he won’t be as good as last year; 12 W and 3.50 ERA.
• Gamble: Brett Anderson (145) He won’t win many games, but a 3.50 ERA and 175 Ks are helpful.
• Gamble: Erik Bedard (251) The Ks are still there.
• Gamble: Stephen Strasburg (269) He’ll only play 1/2 the season, but expect a 3 ERA and Ks.
• Gamble: Brian Matusz (286) Could earn AL ROY honors; sub 4 ERA and 150 Ks.

Relief Pitcher

• Buy: Jose Valverde (125) Performs like an elite closer, 40 SVs.
• Buy: Billy Wagner (146) Velocity is up, he’ll lock down 35 SVs.
• Buy: Chad Qualls (187) His knee looks recovered; 35 SVs.
• Sell: Ryan Franklin (150) Last year was just too good to be true.
• Sell: Andrew Bailey (117) Shoulder concerns are worrisome.
• Gamble: Chris Perez (360) Could keep the closer job even when Kerry Wood gets off the DL.
• Gamble: Jon Rauch (NA) Has past experience and the Twinkies will win a ton of games.

I’m always down to discuss anything Fantasy Baseball related.  Feel free to post a comment or tweet me up anytime.

Injuries to monitor: DeAngelo Williams, Julius Jones, Reggie Bush, Vince Young, Hines Ward, Brent Celek, Matt Ryan, Marc Bulger, Brian Westbrook, and Michael Turner.

QB: Alex Smith is the uber spot starter this week. If you can’t get him and need a QB, Josh Freeman is worth a gamble.

RB: Jerome Harrison should be added after his record day and he has a nice match up against the Raiders, but don’t forget about everyone else; Maurice Morris, Darren McFadden, Mike Bell (if Reggie Bush is out), and Jason Snelling (if the Burner is out).

WR: Josh Morgan had a decent game and looks prime for an even bigger one come Sunday. Devin Aromashodu and Deion Branch have been getting a bunch of looks due to injuries.

TE: Fred Davis, Jermichael Finley, David Thomas (if Jeremy Shockey is out), and Kevin Boss; in that order.

DEF: The 49ers play the Lions this week, which should mean around 3 turnovers.

As always, feel free to hit me up on Twitter.

QB: With the Saints and Colts both playing through, there shouldn’t be many owners looking for a QB. If you are and you’re a little crazy, Matt Cassel, Jason Campbell, and (gasp) Brady Quinn are interesting plays this week.

RB: Arian Foster has the best potential this week due to his match up, but Quinton Ganther’s huge game makes him a little safer play. Jason Snelling, Maurice Morris, Chris Jennings, and Darren McFadden are worthy of pickups as well.

WR: Dwayne Bowe is coming off of suspension, meaning he’s worth a pickup and start at 3WR. Kevin Walter is also worth a 3WR start. Antonio Bryant and Kenny Britt are still out there. Devin Aromashodu, Johnny Knox, Greg Camarillo, and Michael Jenkins all had big days, but I wouldn’t have the stomach to start any.

TE: Kevin Boss, Fred Davis, and Jermichael Finley; in that order.

DEF: I’m torn between the Seahawks and Texans this week.

As always, feel free to hit me up on Twitter.

QB: Vince Young, Jason Campbell, and Ryan Fitzpatrick look like solid plays on Sunday if you need a QB. Alex Smith is out there as well, but I wouldn’t be able to start him on my Fantasy roster.

RB: Steve Slaton is done for the year so Chris Brown looks like the add in Houston. Clinton Portis is done as well so look to grab Quinton Ganther not Rock Cartwright. Jerome Harrison is another instant add. Jerious Norwood and Justin Fargas deserve attention, but they’re probably not starter worthy.

WR: Devin Thomas will warrant much attention, but if you don’t get him, there are other options. Chris Chambers, Antonio Bryant, and Kenny Britt to name a few.

TE: Jermichael Finley will be the hot pickup, but don’t forget about Kevin Boss, Fred Davis, and Todd Heap.

DEF: Tennessee has a great match up against Kyle Boller. I’d expect some turnovers.

As always, feel free to hit me up on Twitter.

Offense: Bryant Moniz was off, there was no attempt at a running game, and the offensive line play was poor. Simply put, the offense never showed up.

Defense: Like the offense, the defense never showed up. And even if they did, it wouldn’t have mattered; Hawaii was simply over matched.

Special Teams: Alex Dunnachie and Jovonte Taylor got a lot of practice.

Coaching: Coach Mack set the tone by punting on the first drive of the game; it was all downhill from there.

Final Word: Hawaii was beat by a better team.

Helmet Stickers:
Hawaii Seniors – It was a good 4-game run

Injuries to monitor: DeSean Jackson, Brent Celek, Eli Manning, Matt Ryan (out), Marc Bulger (2-6 weeks), Clinton Portis (out), Brian Westbrook (out), Kurt Warner, Ben Roethlisberger, Michael Turner, Julius Jones, Cedric Benson, Calvin Johnson, and Dwayne Bowe (2 weeks).

QB: Vince Young and Ryan Fitzpatrick put up surprising numbers on Sunday. It looks like Young is the guy everyone wants, but I actually think Fitzpatrick looks better from here on out. Along with those two, Matt Cassel looks good in Weeks 14 and 15 while Alex Smith looks solid in Week 16. If you have Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, or Brett Favre, grab another QB, because they may not be playing too much in Week 16.

RB: These guys are above the 50% mark, but only slightly. Go see if they’re available in your league. Jamaal Charles, Justin Forsett, and Fred Jackson (way above). Chris Brown, Jerious Norwood, and Larry Johnson are worth adds as well. LJ won’t be starting for your team once Cedric Benson returns, but if Benson has a setback, you’ll be glad you picked him up.

WR: Chris Chambers needs to be above 50% ownership. Antonio Bryant, Kenny Britt, and Donnie Avery are viable options moving forward as well.

TE: Kevin Boss and Fred Davis are out there. If Todd Heap gets healthy, he’s an interesting play in Weeks 14 and 15.

As always, feel free to hit me up on Twitter.

Offense: Moniz was 32-44 for 366 yards and 3 TDs. Moniz was on point for most of the night minus a rough start. He had a few questionable throws, but luckily Navy was unable to capitalize. Most often the Hawaii QBs get into trouble when they lock in on Salas and forget about their progressions.

Kealoha Pilares was the star of the night, catching 8 passes for 108 yards and 2 TDs. Greg Salas added 10 grabs for 147 yards. Pilares plays well against less talented teams so his numbers should not surprise. The offensive line played pretty well, yielding only 2 sacks and giving Moniz ample time to throw. The touchdown at the end of the 1st half was absolutely huge.

Defense: Simply put, the defense won the game, holding Navy to well below its season rushing average. Hawaii did an especially good job at stopping the dive and pitch. Tackling was so-so again, but it was good enough.

Special Teams: Scott Enos made his kicks and Alex Dunnachie did a pretty good job pinning Navy back. Jovonte Taylor was huge again returning kicks; I’m just waiting for him to take one to the house. Can Warrior nation get a Xmas gift early from Jovonte next week?

Coaching: The defensive gameplan was excellent, but the offensive playcalling still needs some work. I thought I saw something that resembled a stop-fade route to Royce Pollard so I’m hopeful.

Now we get to Coach Mack… Coach Mack, what are you thinking? Most of the time, I love the idea of going for it on 4th and less than 2 yards, but not in that situation. Kick the friggin field goal! Make it a two score game and let a defense that’s playing solid win the game. Holy cow…

Final Word: Who would have thought that Hawaii would make it this far in their own little NCAA March Madness pool? One more win equals a Hawaii Bowl berth. Warrior nation has a few more peeps on the wagon after this win.

Helmet Stickers:
Bryant Moniz – 32/44, 366 yards and 3 TDs
Kealoha Pilares – 8 catches, 108 yards and 2 TDs
Greg Salas – 10 catches, 147 yards
Blaze Soares – 12 tackles, 1 sack
R.J. Kiesel-Kauhane, 10 tackles, 1 sack
Hawaii team defense – Held Navy to 248 yards rushing

Injuries to monitor: Marc Bulger (3-6 weeks), Clinton Portis (out), Brian Westbrook (out), Ladell Betts (season), Matthew Stafford, Kyle Orton, Kurt Warner, Ben Roethlisberger, Reggie Bush, Michael Turner, Julius Jones, Cedric Benson, Ronnie Brown (season), Donald Brown, Calvin Johnson, Sammy Morris, Lance Moore, Antonio Bryant, Marshawn Lynch, and Dwayne Bowe (3 weeks).

QB: For backup purposes only; Matt Cassel, Alex Smith, and Matthew Stafford, in that order.

RB: This list looks eerily similar to last week. Jamaal Charles, Jason Snelling, Justin Forsett, Rock Cartwright, Bernard Scott, and Jamal Lewis. All of these RBs should be well above 50% ownership after this week.

WR: Chris Chambers is going to get looks down the stretch, he’s a solid 2WR. Donnie Avery and Mohamed Massaquoi are worth looks; once again, Robert Meachem is an option if Lance Moore is sidelined.

TE: Kevin Boss, Brandon Pettigrew, and Dustin Keller, in that order. Boss has been getting it done big time the last few weeks.

DEF: Atlanta is your best bet if you’re looking for a matchup play; they got Tampa Bay. If they’re not available, Seattle is up against a Kyle Boller led Rams squad.

As always, feel free to hit me up on Twitter.

Offense: Shane Austin was 28-46 for a career-high 299 yards. Austin made some poor decisions and extremely questionable throws, but he did show the ability to squeeze the ball into tough spots and make plays. I’d say that Moniz and Austin are about equal; I’m still holding out hope that the coaches truly re-evaluate the QB situation next year.

Jon Medeiros is clearly the most reliable Hawaii WR. Alex Green averages a fumble per 10-15 carries. Aaron Kia will end his career as the mostly penalized Warrior, ever. Kealoha Pilares needs to ride pine. I’m back on the LWJ bandwagon, but he needs to learn how to catch a pass. At the end of the day, 17 points is not going to get it done.

Defense: The defense played well, but let’s call a spade a spade. San Jose State is not good, not even close to good; maybe the worst team in the nation. There is almost no excuse losing to a backup Senior QB. Still, the defense came up huge causing a fumble at the end of regulation.

Special Teams: Scott Enos needs to be better; his kicks are too low. I feel like Jovonte Taylor could break one at any moment. That running into the kicker penalty could have been huge, but I liked the fact that at least they’re trying to block the kick.

Coaching: Kudos to Coach Mack for going for it on 4th and 5, but 4th and 16 is a little crazy. I’d like to have seen the offense on the field for 4th and 2. Penalties were an issue again, but coaching Aaron Kia at this point is useless. The defense was solid, 10 points is a great game. Loved the shovel passes when they were called, but the offense still needs more imagination; fade, stop-fade, menehune formation, WR-lateral pass… something exciting?

Final Word: Ugly wins are becoming Hawaii’s trademark, but the dream is still alive.

Jon Meideros – 10 catches for 149 yards
Lametrius Davis – 2 INTs

Side note: I missed the last two games so there are no recaps.
