Our weekly digest of everything fantasy baseball. Facts don't lie and The Lineup is full of 'em. Projections for the week of Oct. 14- Oct 20. Stats through Sept. 12:


Cleveland Indians, C
Comment: V-Mart had a productive series against New York and is a career .307 hitter against Boston; expect him to be a factor in this match-up.

Boston Red Sox, 1B
Comment: Was solid against the Indians in the regular season this year: .310 AVG, 2 HR, 4 RBI, 7 R, 0 SB in 7 games.

Colorado Rockies, 2B
Comment: Manufactured a double, two triples and a grand slam in the Rockies three-game sweep of the Phillies.

Arizona Diamondbacks, SS
Comment: Looked like a different player in the NLDS than in all of the regular season with a .500 AVG, 2 HR, 4 RBI, 4 R and 1 SB in the series against Chicago.

Boston Reds Sox, 3B
Comment: Could be a headache to Cleveland based on his 2007 regular season stats against them: .346 AVG, 1 HR, 6 RBI, 2 R, 0 SB in 6 games.

Cleveland Indians, OF
Comment: After his great performance in the ALDS, how smart does Cleveland look for bringing him back into the fold?

Cleveland Indians, OF
Comment: Sizemore was very effective against New York and is as tough as they come in the leadoff spot.

Cleveland Indians, SP
Comment: Looks very comfortable pitching in the post-season and in his one start against the Red Sox this season he allowed just 1 run in six innings to earn the win.

Arizona Diamondbacks, SP
Comment: Hernandez was brilliant this season in five starts against the Rockies: 1-0, 1.54 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, 20 SO in 35 IP.


Arizona Diamondbacks, C
Comment: Hit a measley .167 against Colorado in 13 regular season games in 2007, so don't expect too much from him in this series.

Colorado Rockies, 1B
Comment: Think Helton is a bit nervous in his first post-season? He hit a microscopic .083 in the NLDS.

Cleveland Indians, 2B
Comment: While he's been a tough at-bat at times, he still managed only a .176 batting average in the ALDS.

Cleveland Indians, SS
Comment: Blasé stats against Boston during the 2007 regular season: .240 AVG, 0 HR, 0 RBI, 2 R, 1 SB in 7 games.

Colorado Rockies, 3B
Comment: Atkins hit just .231 in the NLDS against Philadelphia.

Boston Red Sox, OF
Comment: Hit just .233 this regular season against his former club and he didn't exactly tear it up in the ALDS either.

Arizona Diamondbacks, OF
Comment: Had a pair of home runs against Chicago in the NLDS, but Young hit just .235 against Colorado this season.

Arizona Diamondbacks, SP
Comment: Owings gets the Rockies in Colorado for Game 4 of the NLCS. But he was 4-3 with a 4.96 ERA on the road this season.

Boston Red Sox, SP
Comment: Cleveland's lineup did their homework on New York pitchers and it showed in the ALDS. What makes you think that they won't be able to handle Wakefield's knuckle ball?


Starbonell is UPDATE! Major League Baseball Editor.

34 Years passed since a leadoff hitter hit a home run on the first pitch of the game in the post-season. Philadelphia Phillies SS Jimmy Rollins became the first player since 1973 to take the first pitch of the game deep when he knocked a solo blast off of Colorado Rockies SP Franklin

24 Times a team in the post-season hit three or more home runs and scored four or less runs. The New York Yankees pegged three solo shots in Game 4 of the ALDS, but only managed to score four runs in their elimination game against the Cleveland Indians.

20 Difference of the number of runs allowed (732) from runs scored (712) by the Arizona Diamondbacks during the regular season.

2 Players over the age of 30 on the Rockies normal starting lineup. 1B Todd Helton is 33 while 2B Kaz Matsui is 31.
