Please. The emphasis ought to be on reality teams, not fantasy teams!

Hamilton was derailed by injuries and illness, but as long as he stays drug-free, he should be back strong in 2008. I'm serious about Braun, though. I can't wait to see where he goes in fantasy drafts next year. He's one of those guys who A. can't possibly live up to the expectations and B. will surely make you regret not picking him.

American League I'd have to say pedroia , if Joba Chamberlin was eligible I way say him but alas he doesn't hae enough innings so we will wait and see next year.

I should have mentioned Fields, though I just don't think I could vote for a guy with a .244 avg. Still, Fields will be an impact guy for the Sox in the future. You’re right.

Still, Fields will be an impact guy for the Sox in the future.

In 111 games, he hit 24 homers and had 69 RBI. Certainly not as good or impactful a rookie as Pedroia, but worthy of at least a mention. Give a little love to White Sox third baseman Josh Fields.
