WaiverShark, Ryan Roach - seen here decked out in a hard to find Joakim Soria “Mexicutioner” T-shirt, has recently taken full reign of:
Ryan is a list man extraordinaire, so he has put his fantasy thinking cap on to lay down a straight forward rankings list of our Top 50 Prospects, "Future Stars of The Cage", which is chalk full of budding young talent. Many players here should see their MLB tenure begin sometime during the 2009 Fantasy Baseball season - of course there are a few who still may be a couple of seasons away from making any real serious impact.
Ryan will color code the players to reflect if their stock is on the rise, or falling– as well as to let you know if a player has been called up to the Show.
For now, he jokes that ALL players have been listed in “offseason orange”
Ryan will also be heading up this year’s edition of The Cage.
Our 2009 Waiver Wire Pick-up feature – THE CAGE will take on a much more simplistic approach in 2009, giving you an at-a-glance waiver resource unlike any other.
And last, but not least, The Shallow and The Deep will launch this March – just in time for the 2009 Fantasy Baseball MLB season! Check back to find out how this new feature will help you rise to the top of your league!
Without further ado: All hail the head of the kids table: Tampa Rays phenom - David Price!
