307 8 Rick Ankiel MLB KC OF 30.7 53.94 .248 60 21 65 3           Missed much of Spring Training with a right ankle injury, expected to be starting OF in KC this year.
308 8 Jon Garland MLB SD SP 30.5 53.93           11 0 100 4.33 1.38  
309 8 Ben Sheets MLB OAK SP 31.7 53.88           9 0 109 4.28 1.30 Had tendon surgery on his elbow in February 2009, missed the entire season. Has had injury problems for a good portion of his career, but OAK is looking for him to mentor a quality young staff.
310 7 Kerry Wood MLB CLE RP 32.8 53.82           3 23 58 3.87 1.30 Still has a very good K ratio, but ERA is not that good for a closer. Has shoulder strain and is expected to miss the first 4-6 weeks of the season.
311 8 Clayton Richard MLB SD SP 26.6 53.77           10 0 113 4.14 1.38

313 8 Sean Rodriguez MLB TB 2B 24.9 53.54 .243 64 18 58 7           Has had a fantastic spring. Is primarily a 2B, but can play SS or the other 3 OF spots. Even if he does not start, should see a good number of at bats in 2010. We like him as a sleeper.
314 8 Freddy Sanchez MLB SF 2B 32.2 53.25 .285 65 8 51 2           Had shoulder surgery in December 2009, will miss start of the season.
315 8 Willie Harris MLB WAS OF 31.7 52.55 .251 65 9 42 15           With Dukes release and J.Maxwell being sent to the minors, Harris is now a starting OF.
316 8 Michael Brantley MLB CLE OF 22.9 52.53 .269 49 3 31 20           Excellent prospect with speed that will begin season as a starter. Once Branyan is off of DL, Brantley may be squeezed out of a starting spot.

318 8 Ian Desmond MLB WAS SS 24.5 52.38 .252 56 11 44 16           Beat out C.Guzman for the starting SS job.

323 8 Felipe Lopez MLB STL 2B 29.9 51.83 .278 64 7 43 7           Can play 2B, SS or 3B. Will get plenty of AB, but will not be a starter at the beginning of the season.
324 8 Dallas Braden MLB OAK SP 26.7 51.81           10 0 110 4.38 1.37  
325 8 Lyle Overbay MLB TOR 1B 33.1 51.59 .268 59 15 61 1

327 8 Shaun Marcum MLB TOR SP 28.3 51.30           9 0 116 4.25 1.35 Missed the entire 2009 season after having Tommy John surgery. May be ready for the start of the 2010 season.

331 8 Ty Wigginton MLB BAL 1B/3B 32.4 50.74 .279 46 16 49 2           Will see plenty of playing time backing up 1B, 3B and DH.
332 8 Andy LaRoche MLB PIT 3B 26.6 50.68 .258 63 14 60 4            
333 8 Daisuke Matsuzaka MLB BOS SP 29.5 50.44           10 0 132 4.35 1.43 Expected to miss the first month of the season with back and neck injuries. 
334 7 A.J. Pierzynski MLB CHW C 33.2 50.31 .277 55 13 54 1            
335 8 Jeremy Guthrie MLB BAL SP 31.0 49.98           10 0 109 4.54 1.39  
336 8 Brendan Ryan MLB STL SS 28.0 49.70 .270 57 5 34 13           Had wrist surgery in February 2010, all indications are that he will be ready for Opening Day.

340 8 Barry Zito MLB SF SP 31.9 48.98           10 0 126 4.44 1.43  
341 8 Troy Glaus MLB ATL 3B 33.7 48.77 .250 56 18 65 1           Will start at 1B and gain 1B eligibility early into the season.
342 8 Gaby Sanchez MLB FLA 1B 26.6 48.61 .263 53 13 56 4           With a solid spring, Sanchez beat out L.Morrison and won the starting 1B job.
343 8 Jason Hammel MLB COL SP 27.6 48.43           9 0 118 4.40 1.41  
344 8 Willie Bloomquist MLB KC SS/OF 32.3 48.40 .268 48 3 25 19           Best suited for super-sub role. Should see plenty of playing time in OF and INF.
345 8 Chris R. Young MLB SD SP 30.9 48.18           8 0 112 4.20 1.35 Had shoulder surgery in August 2009, has been pretty good this spring and is ready for Opening Day.
346 8 Brandon Inge MLB DET 3B 32.9 48.18 .231 68 20 78 4           Had surgery for patellar tendinitis in knees, expected to be ready for the regular season.
347 8 Daric Barton MLB OAK 1B 24.6 47.78 .265 64 11 54 2           Beat out Chris Carter for starting 1B job.
348 8 Ryan Raburn MLB DET OF 29.0 47.52 .264 46 13 47 6           With addition of J. Damon, will move to the bench but get 4th OF and backup DH at bats.
349 8 Adam Kennedy MLB WAS 2B/3B 34.2 47.15 .274 47 6 42 10           Will begin the year as the starting 2B. 
350 8 Matt Diaz MLB ATL OF 32.0 47.08 .291 37 9 40 7           Diaz will assume a platoon role. Should still see decent amount of AB as he will spell all 3 OF at times during the season and see majority of AB against LHP.
351 8 Bud Norris MLB HOU SP 25.1 46.96           8 0 136 4.39 1.44  
352 8 David Huff MLB CLE SP 25.6 46.78           9 0 102 4.49 1.38

355 8 Daniel Murphy MLB NYM 1B/OF 25.0 46.68 .274 45 11 50 4           Looks to be a three-headed competition at 1B in NY this year between Murphy, Tatis and Jacobs. We think Murphy will get majority of at bats once he is off of the DL. Expected to miss the first month of the season.
356 8 Dave Bush MLB MIL SP 30.4 46.55           8 0 109 4.64 1.34  
357 8 Yuniesky Betancourt MLB KC SS 28.2 46.47 .276 53 7 51 4           Starter until Aviles is ready to come back from injuries. Once Aviles is ready, it will be interesting to see who is the starter.

359 8 Mike Lowell MLB BOS 3B 36.1 46.20 .279 40 12 56 1           Had thumb surgery in December, likely a trade candidate once he is healthy now that BOS signed A. Beltre.
360 8 Aaron Cook MLB COL SP 32.6 46.12           11 0 76 4.28 1.40  
361 9 Pat Burrell MLB TB DH 33.4 45.95 .240 54 20 70 1
