1. IAN SNELL - P- Pittsburgh Pirates

The definition of low-risk, high reward. Last September, Snell earned a spot on this list by allowing only 6 earned runs in 33 innings. Despite a 9-12 record, he posted a 3.76 ERA and struck out 177 batters in 208 innings. Compare Snells numbers to many eperts pre-season favorite last year, Carlos Zambrano:

Obviously the win totals jump out and Zambrano did have an off year by his standards, but the quality numbers put up by Snell put up are worth noting. Entering his third full major league year, we epect Snell to improve his WHIP and ERA totals, as well as his K totals. His low win totals will make him available dirt cheap on draft day once the other big name pitchers are off the board.

2. MARK TEAHAN- 3B- Kansas City

Teahen came off an 18 HR season in 2006 only to lay an egg in 2007 with 7. Many eperts attributed this drop-off to his off-season shoulder surgery and his move to a new position in left field. Teahen turns the ever-heralded age of 27 this year, and there is talk that he could be playing some first base as well. With a healthy shoulder and 2 full major league seasons under his belt, 15+ home runs with 80+ runs and 80+ rbis is not out of the question. Chaulk up last year to the sophomore jin and take a flier late on Teahan. I know I will.

3 RAUL IBANEZ - OF- Seattle Mariners

Yes, the FBJ has a man-crush on Raul. Everyone knows him and everyone passes on him on draft day. Over the past 3 Rotomania Epert league drafts, he has gone in the 15th, 19th and 24th rounds. He is as close to a sure thing as youll find in fantasy. Last year he played through a back injury and still produced over 100 RBIs. Let the other guys take Manny Ramirez and Carlos Lee on draft day and fill your 2B and MI positions early. Take Raul in the later rounds and put 100+ RBIs in the bank.

 4. TY WIGGINGTON - 2B, 3B - Houston Astros

Wiggy makes this list thanks to one final year of 2b eligibility. In 2007, he hit 22 home runs and batted .292 after the all-star break. The move to a hitters park in Houston batting with the likes of Lance Berkman and Carlos Lee puts him high on the value list of 2B. If you arent lucky enough to land Chase Utley in the first round, let the other players in your league spend their high draft picks on Uggla, Philips, and Upton, and look for very similiar numbers with Wiggintons at the end of the year. He is my favorite low-risk, high reward player on the list.

5. CONOR JACKSON - 1B - Arizona Diamondbacks

10 home runs after the all-star break have us all excited about Conor Jackson. Without the looming old and gray shadow of Tony Clark behind him, Jacko could have a break out year. Hitting a robust .290 in 2006 followed by a decent .283 last year, this slugger has yet to see 500 at-bats. Should that happen this year, expect numbers worthy of a draft pick 10 rounds earlier.

6. CARLOS QUENTIN- RF - Chicago White Sox

Another Arizona Diamondback prospect, Quentin was traded in the off-season to the Chicago White Sox where he will bat in the hitter-friendly confines of U.S. Cellular field. A torn labrum most certainly caused his poor perfomance and eventual demotion to the minors last year. A healthy Quentin in a hitter's park could most certainly produce 30 home runs. If he shows a little patience at the plate this year, he could be a beast.

7. JEREMY HERMIDA- RF - Florida Marlins
