Throughout his MLB career, Matt Joyce (OF, TAM) had shown flashes of his ability but never managed to produce consistently enough to stick on the big league roster. Everything changed in 2011 as Joyce consolidated his versatile talents and enjoyed a mini-breakout season. So what's next for Joyce?

If you're banking on elite stats again from Jered Weaver (RHP, LAA), here's why you should be worried.

Because so many overvalue saves, few values exist among relief pitchers. Getting a fair price early on will suffice as a bargain, while a couple late discounts await. Let’s look at where the values lie when comparing our BaseballHQ.com values to the Average Draft Positions from MockDraftCentral.com.

The last three seasons have arguably been the worst of David Wright's (3B, NYM) career. Coming off a season where he was struck with his first major injury (stress fracture/lower back), which cost him more than two months playing time, what can we expect in 2012?

Ervin Santana (RHP, LAA) appeared to be on his way to becoming one of the game's elite pitchers after his 2008 season.

[FREE] Searching for those relievers who are expected to sell for a small price but earn a large profit—a combination of skill and not-yet-realized opportunity.

Ian Kennedy followed up a strong first season in Arizona with an eye-opening 2011. He notched 21 wins, compiled a league-best winning percentage (.840) with a sub-3.00 ERA and finished fourth in the NL Cy Young voting. He's a no-brainer atop the Diamondbacks rotation, but does he have the skills to be a true fantasy ace?

Last week's BBG about adjusting Mayberry using Rel scores drew a relatively large number of comments, one of which asked if we had back-tested the concept using 2011 data. We hadn’t, but it seemed like a swell idea. And let it never be said that we aren’t ready to exploit someone else’s swell idea!

Expectations were high for Adrian Gonzalez (1B, BOS) after he joined the Red Sox prior to the 2011 season. The transition to the AL East and the pressure of playing in Boston did not seem to phase Gonzalez as all he did was post the best all-around season of his career thus far...
