Fantasy Baseball: Top 5 Seattle Mariners for 2010
2. Cliff Lee- What’s not to love about a pitcher who will likely put up a BB/9 of under 2 and give you over 200 innings. In 2009, Lee had a slightly elevated BABIP, which would indicate his higher than normal whip. But Lee also had an FIP of 3.11, when he had an ERA of 3.11. I’m not sure Lee will strike out enough guys to be a number one starter, but he should have a fairly decent ERA is he keeps his peripherals in order.
3. Ichiro- Nearly a lock to hit .310, Ichiro brings the ability to be a consistent producer in stolen bases and is nearly a lock to score at least 90 runs. Due to a .384 BABIP (.357 career) I wouldn’t expect another .350 season in 2010, but .320 seems fairly reasonable.
