2007 Offensive All-GNUru Team
Written by The GNUru   
May 31, 2007 at 11:03 AM
Torri Hunter has ressurected his fantasy career!With the 2007 fantasy season just about 1/3 of the way complete, we can begin to identify those players who have disappointed and those that have exceed expectations.  Those that have exceed expectations have been honored by being named to the distinguished  All-GNUru Fantasy Team.  The following list of players are not necessarily the best at their position but they are considered value picks as their production has vastly exceed their preseason expectations.  Congrats to the 2007 Offensive All-GNUru Team.  

Catcher

Bengie Molina – San Francisco Giants

AB HR AVG RBI R SB
167 5 0.311 31 12 0

Bengie Molina has turned into a fantastic fantasy option at catcher in both head-to-head and roto leagues.  He has out performed higher rated catchers such as Brian McCann, Michael Barrett, Paul Lo Duca, Ramon Hernandez, and the injured Joe Mauer.  Those that got Bengie late have been rewarded

 

Honorable Mention: Jorge Posada

 First Basemen

Kevin Youkilis – Boston Red Sox

AB HR AVG RBI R SB
198 8 0.354 30 40 2

After a mediocre rookie season, Kevin Youkilis is coming into his own.  The many fantasy owners who took a late round flier on him have to be happy with his performance thus far.

  

Honorable Mention: Prince Fielder

 Second Basemen

B.J. Upton – Tampa Bay Devil Rays

AB HR AVG RBI R SB
169 8 0.325 29 30 10

Fantasy owners have been waiting for quite some time for B.J. to get his defensive act together and get regular big league playing time.  That time has finally arrive and those fantasy owners who didn’t give up on him are being heavily rewarded!

  

Honorable Mention: Dan Uggla

 Shortstop

J.J. Hardy – Milwaukee Brewers

AB HR AVG RBI R SB
213 15 0.296 44 33 0

J.J. Hardy has burst onto the scene and has become an elite fantasy shortstop.  While his production is starting to decline slightly, his value relative to draft position is as high as anyone’s. 

  

Honorable Mention: Johnny Peralta

 Third Basemen

Mike Lowell  – Boston Red Sox

AB HR AVG RBI R SB
185 10 0.330 41 28 2

An often forgotten man on draft day, Mike Lowell has turned into a steal at a typically deep position.  Lowell went undrafted in many leagues and has produced more than early round picks David Wright, Aramis Ramirez, Garrett Atkins.

  

Honorable Mention: Chipper Jones

 Outfield 

Magglio Oredonez – Detriot Tigers

AB HR AVG RBI R SB
193 12 0.352 48 44 0
Torri Hunter – Minnesota Twins
AB HR AVG RBI R SB
192 11 0.318 45 32 9
Curtis Granderson – Detriot Tigers
AB HR AVG RBI R SB
196 8 0.281 27 37 6

All 3 of the above outfielders were extremely undervalued heading into the 2007 season.  Magglio just hasn’t been able to regain the form he once had with the White Sox, Torri Hunter was never much of an impact fantasy player, and Curtis Granderson had yet to live up to his potential.  These 3 have out-slugged highly rated outfielders like Carlos Beltran, Carl Crawford, Carlos Lee, Adam Dunn, Jason Bay, and Ichiro Suzuki!

 

Honorable Mentions: Eric Byrnes, Aaron Rowarnd, and Josh Willingham
