Injury Report
Elbow, abdominal - Expected to be ready for spring training (Updated: 20091015)
Sizemore working out without limits: Indians OF Grady Sizemore, who underwent offseason surgery on his elbow and abdomen, has been cleared by doctors and won't have any limitations when training camp opens in a few weeks. "I've been hitting and throwing and lifting and running and everything has felt good," he said Wednesday after appearing as a presenter at the Greater Cleveland Sports Awards. A two-time Gold Glove winner and three-time All-Star, Sizemore batted a career-low .248 with 18 homers and 64 RBI before deciding to stop playing on Sept. 4. (Updated 02/04/2010).

Fantasy Analysis
Coming off the first 30-30 season of his career, Sizemore looked primed to take another step toward superstardom in 2009, even earning first-round status in most Fantasy drafts. Instead, he had the worst season of his major-league career. Considering Sizemore suffered the hernia in spring training and originally went on the DL with the elbow injury May 31, you have to think both impacted his performance. Even playing through the pain, he managed to hit .299 with four homers and four steals in August, just before he shut down for the season. Clearly, the 27-year-old can still play, and with renewed health, he has a good chance of rebounding with 30-30 numbers, making him still one of the top outfielders in Fantasy. Expect to draft him early again, though maybe as late as the third or fourth round. If anything, last year's poor performance will make him a bargain on Draft Day. (Updated 02/04/2010).

History suggests that waiting on starting pitching until later in your draft is the best way to go. So why do so many owners still spend early picks on pitchers? Our Scott White tries once again to persuade the masses.

Coming off the first 30-30 season of his career, Sizemore looked primed to take another step toward superstardom in 2009, even earning first-round status in most Fantasy drafts. Instead, he had the worst season of his major-league career, hitting only .248, playing in a career-low 106 games, and missing the final month to undergo hernia and elbow surgeries. Hard to imagine why he struggled, right? Considering Sizemore suffered the hernia in spring training and originally went on the DL with the elbow injury May 31, you have to think both impacted his performance. Even playing through the pain, he managed to hit .299 with four homers and four steals in August, just before he shut down for the season.
