25 ERA in April he had a September ERA of 5

While he struggled some down the stretch with his command, he certainly was going to be on the radar in the late-middle rounds of drafts in 2010 had he stayed with Detroit His move to the NL West could actually help his value. The division is littered with parks that favor pitchers more than hitters, and he will not be facing a DH. Keep this in mind, but note that Jackson's monthly ERA rose every month from April on. While he started with a 2.25 ERA in April, he had a September ERA of 5.08 in six starts.Not only this, he also saw his innings workload increase by 31. While he is too old to fall under the Verducci Effect principle, it was the first time in his career that he cracked 200 innings, and only his third full season as a starter. From a drafting perspective, keep him around the 160-175 mark and you will get decent return on your money. He should perform better in the NL, but any owner expecting a repeat of last season may be disappointed after the All-Star break.

Jackson is not a staff anchor, and he will not perform that way. Curtis Granderson - Obviously, Granderson is the biggest piece to the puzzle in terms of overall name value. The working theory here was that, regardless of team, Granderson was going to rebound from last season. In New York, Granderson could see power similar to what was seen out of Johnny Damon last season. Granderson can attack the bigger gaps, but likely does not end up with the same volume of triples that he was able to muster in Detroit. His average will return to .280, and he will still steal 20-25 bases Basically, he is automatic across most categories. Yes, he will struggle against lefties and maybe he could be more patient, but there are few players that produce across such a wide array of categories Last season, he was drafted near pick 60 in ESPN leagues.

Coming off what some might term as a disappointing 2009, he likely would have slipped some in drafts, perhaps by as much as 20 selections in some mixed leagues.Now, though, he should likely be drafted in around the same spot as 2009. Given that he likely rebounded, that would be good value for the outfielder Max Scherzer - Ah, the enigma. His stats actually do not reflect how well he pitched overall. Scherzer had a rough May and August, but in between he showed some fantastic stuff.
