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 11/06/2009).

Carlos Quentin hit a three-run homer in his second straight game, rookie Daniel Hudson earned his first major league victory and the Chicago White Sox beat the Detroit Tigers 8-4 Sunday for their third win in 11 games.
If you don't know quite what to expect from Huff in 2009, join the party. After he burst onto the scene in 2003, he steadily regressed each year thereafter, to the point no Fantasy owner wanted him with more than a late-round pick. Then, during a three-month stretch beginning in June last year, he broke out again, hitting .356 with 21 home runs. For the season, he reached two milestones -- a .300 batting average and 30 home runs -- for the first time since 2003. Of course, he hit a relatively tame .259 with two home runs in the final month, which makes you wonder if he just got really hot for three months or if he had a legitimate breakout. One thing's for sure: Whether you draft him to play first or third base, you'll have to draft him early and hope for the best. (Updated 12/4/08)
