In March I predicted the top 10 rookies of 2011 in terms of fantasy value. Now that the season is over, lets review my rankings...

By now, you’ve already drafted your fantasy team(s) and have set your lineup(s) for Opening Day. (Happy Opening Day, by the way!) While some sites make lazy claims by promoting top 100 players as breakout candidates, I choose to dig much deeper. Heck, I’ve seen Drew Stubbs flagged as a 2011 breakout performer on several occasions. How can a guy who hit 22 HRs and stole 30 bags last year be dubbed a future fantasy star? He’s already a top-50 player in my mind. He’s already risen from the depths of the waiver wire, just as I had predicted he would at this time last year...

With nearly half of baseball's 30 teams likely to start 2011 with a new closer, it's important for fantasy managers to brush up on the bullpens in transition. Every week during the 2011 season, I'll update the Closer's Corner as ninth-inning roles change hands. In the meantime, I'll post updates as free agents continue to sign and spring training battles become more clear...
ELIAS: The most no-hitters broken up in the ninth inning since 1961 -- Joe Mauer and Horace Clarke, three. RT @cardboardgods: @Buster_ESPN My eyewitness opinion: Buster was VT's Danny "Little Red" Lopez of hay-bailing (i.e., the pound-for-pound champ). GM Neal Huntington and I grew up on dairy farms,so after talking Pirates on the podcast, we rated our farming skills. http://t.co/374zOHCiun
Only 242/337/385 at Triple-A so probably not soon. What say you @jasoncollette ? RT @Lou_Guida when do you see wil Myers getting a call up? Psyched for Trout on the Yankees! RT @VorosM Got a trade offer: Bryce Hunter for Matt Jones. Should I do it? http://t.co/uhyHYae2Ls Gausman's night is done. 5 innings, 4 runs, some overpowering strikeouts, some command blips. Pretty special stuff; clocked as high as 99mph Here's the story on the context of the Mattingly comments, from @jaysonst and I. http://t.co/7pr43opnL1 Bad-ass shit-kickin' rock! \m/ RT @EddieSpaghetti4 Now check this out!!! http://t.co/vLtNisygrS© 2013 Fantasy Baseball Insiders.
