The Bounce Back Batters

http://www.thefantasysportsforum.com/

This is our top ten list of players who either underachieved or were set back by injuries and are the best bets to have a bounce back year. Most of these players could slip to the middle or late rounds of most drafts or can be bought at good value in auction leagues.


1. Jason Bay, OF, Pittsburgh
Bay’s production dropped in almost every category last season as he battled through injury and was limited to 538 ABs. It wasn’t long ago when he was a complete fantasy performer, producing 30+ homers, 100 + RBI and .300 average, with 20 steals to go along with it. He’s projected to bat cleanup for the Pirates, so don’t expect him to run much, but a healthy season should bring him back to being a top statistical performer again.

2. Vernon Wells, OF, Toronto
Wells sharp decline hurt many fantasy owners who drafted him early and as their first outfielder last season. It was revealed that he was playing with a bad shoulder which was operated on in the off-season. He bats in the middle of a potent lineup and should return to form, similar to his 2006 numbers.

3. Hank Blalock, 3B, Texas
Once touted as a future star, Blalock has regressed after a strong start to his career. Still only 27,
and now entering his prime as a hitter, he’s slated to bat clean-up for the Rangers. He’s capable of posting 30+ HRs, 110 RBIs (as he did in 2004) and with third base being a deep position, finding him available in the late rounds is very likely.
