Fantasy Analysis
None of the players listed here would deserve more than a late-round pick in Fantasy -- and that's assuming they all get full-time jobs. Podsednik is a one-trick pony. Kennedy and Byrd have just now become relevant. Ankiel and Blalock have yet to live up to their potential. Huff, Polanco, Beltre, LaRoche, Hudson, Cameron and Lopez lack upside. Same goes for Washburn, Marquis and Smoltz. Delgado and Penny come with too much risk, and Wagner would need to land in the right situation -- one where he could earn saves. Keep an eye on their movement. Nobody else on this list deserves a look in mixed leagues, barring something unexpected during the offseason. (Updated 11/05/2009).

The Detroit Tigers earned an unwanted place in baseball history, becoming the first team to miss out on the playoffs after having a three-game lead with four games left.
At first glance, Polanco's 2008 season might seem like a disappointment, but you had to expect he wouldn't maintain that .341 batting average from 2007. The law of averages -- perhaps better known as the law of batting averages -- just wouldn't allow it. At age 33, Polanco brings nothing more than extra-base power to go along with increasing injury concerns, but as a high-contact hitter at the top of the Tigers lineup, you know he'll give you a decent batting average and plenty of runs scored. At a position as weak as second base, that kind of skill set makes him a worthy starter. You shouldn't reach for him since he obviously doesn't have much of a ceiling, but don't feel too bad if you end up with him. (Updated 12/3/08)
