Last Player Picked

Andrew at Fantasy Ball Junkie points out what he finds to be the best fantasy bargains for 2010, according to the CHONE projections:

1. Eric Young
2. Russell Martin
3. David Ortiz
4. Julio Borbon
5. Jeff Francouer
6. Melky Cabrera
7. Delmon Young
8. BJ Upton
9. Magglio Ordonez
10. Jose Reyes

A couple of names (Eric Young Jr., Julio Borbon) also popped up on my SB sleeper list earlier this year. Many of the rest are guys who had a down year in 2009. Even though fantasy owners tend to focus solely on last year’s results, projections remind us that players tend to return to their established level of performance.

That could be good news for those willing to take a risk on Russell Martin, David Ortiz, B.J. Upton, or Jose Reyes.
