I've bookmarked the site. One quick thing, you put the wrong link to the Sizemore piece. It's probably a service to your readers though as it's really awful. Needless to say, I didn't quite agree with Mr. Pollis and let him know as much. The article instantly lost credibility once his prime argument against Sizemore was Grady's 2009 batting average. Aside from the fact that Sizemore has earned a pass for his injury-riddled 2009, the return commodity Mr. Pollis seeks would be far from a sure thing to succeed in the tougher American League. Burnout is a huge concern with Cain, too. He's logged 872 innings before age 25. The list of pitchers to log at least 800 innings before 25 is very hit-n-miss: CC, Dontrelle, Garland, Bonderman, Buehrle, Zambrano, Felix, Greinke, Cain, Kazmir, Peavy, Myers, Vazquez, Sheets and Ollie Perez. Some flameouts, some superstars, lots of missed time due to injury. I know that many will see Sizemore through Mr. Pollis' glasses this year in fantasy and make him a tremendous value that I can't wait to scoop up! John,
