Fantasy Baseball

Carlos Zambrano - Zambrano will be a free agent this winter if the Cubs aren’t able to extend his deal. It’s believed that there is big money on the table for the pitcher, but the two sides haven’t been able to come to an agreement as of yet. The fantasy impact of this could vary. With free agency pending, Zambrano might be apt to shut it down early if the Cubs get out of the hunt or if he suffers any sort of injury. In keeper and dynasty leagues, you might actually want him to wait for the offseason because if he pitches in a big market with big bats, he could be a superstar.

Roger Clemens - Clemens is expected to announce by the end of May where he intends to play this season. The three main options that many assume are the Astros, Red Sox and Yankees. A lot of people expect him to return to the Astros, but Clemens has been quiet and hasn’t shown any indications one way or the other.

Chad Cordero - Cordero led the majors in saves in 2005 and is now being shopped by the Nationals. Their asking price is expected to be a major league ready starting pitcher and some additional prospects. Keep an eye on what the Nationals decide to do because if Cordero lands on a team who is desperate for a closer, he could become a fantasy option.
