By Dalton Del Don Joba Chamberlain is one of the toughest calls this year, as he has a ton of upside yet is a health risk, and his role remains somewhat in question. He’ll almost certainly be a starter moving forward – after all, the Yankees would be fools not to put him in the rotation. But the...

By Dalton Del Don One offseason after nearly completing the same trade, it appears the Vikings will acquire Sage Rosenfels. The price should be cheaper, reportedly a fourth round pick. Minnesota appears to be one quarterback shy of making a deep playoff run, especially playing in a mediocre division...

By Dalton Del Don I’m a big fan of Elijah Dukes, both as a player and as a person (OK fine, mostly the former). He had a .972 OPS after the All-Star break last season, clubbing 10 homers (with five steals) over his final 124 at-bats. He also walked 50 times over 81 games, so a strong OBP looks lik...

By Dalton Del Don Now that San Diego has slapped the franchise tag on Darren Sproles, where does that leave LaDainian Tomlinson? The Chargers’ brass claim they want to bring LT back and have stated that Sproles’ role will remain largely unchanged, but that seems hard to believe. Sproles may not ...

By Dalton Del Don Jayson Werth is one of my favorite targets this year. He’s a lesser known commodity since last year’s 134 games played were his career-high, and he’s also a bit of an injury risk. However, 24 homers and 20 steals is pretty impressive over just 418 at-bats. He strikes out freq...

By Dalton Del Don During the 49ers’ state of the franchise address Monday, San Francisco’s brass did not deny eventually acquiring Michael Vick, something no other team has done. In fact, most franchises are actually going out of their way to say they have zero interest in Vick. I wouldn’t cal...

By Dalton Del Don Miguel Cabrera simply has to be considered in the top-5 picks this year. In fact, I wouldn’t fault someone for taking him first overall. He disappointed in 2008, but that can easily be explained with the league switch, which resulted in a slow start. Over his last 77 games, he cl...

By Dalton Del Don First off, I almost missed H-O-R-S-E (or more accurately, G-E-I-C-O. I would give this sponsorship a hard time, but that company usually comes correct with its commercials, so I’ll let this one slide), since it occurred in the middle of the day and without much notification. Seco...

By Dalton Del Don A good game made great by a terrific fourth quarter, Super Bowl 43 (enough already with the Roman numerals) was definitely one to remember. I’m hardly the first to say it, but what was Mike Tomlin thinking not going for the touchdown on fourth and goal from six inches away? He mi...

By Dalton Del Don I went 1-1 during the Conference Championship round, bringing my playoff record to 4-6. My best bet, the Eagles, blew it, making me 1-2 there. As for Super Bowl XLIII, here are my thoughts: Cardinals +7 vs. Steelers The Cardinals are clearly playing at a much higher level than duri...
