Fantasy Corner- Nick Markakis

We are all getting prepared for our fantasy baseball drafts, and wanted to focus on a few good players to pay attention to on draft day.

Nick Markakis (RF, Baltimore Orioles): Playing through only two full seasons, outfielder Nick Markakis has made his mark as a consistent fantasy producer. He hits for average, power, and even has some speed which will earn you an occasional stolen base. In his rookie season in Baltimore, Markakis homered 16 times, drove 62 RBIs, stole only two bases, all while hitting a respectable .291. In 2007, he stepped his game up a little more. Last year he homered 23 times, drove in 112 RBIs, stole 18 bases, and hit .300. Great production even while playing for a weakened team. What to expect in 2008 from Markakis? He will continue to be a decent contributor to your team, but do not overspend on Markakis. Make him your number two outfielder, with no chance of being your number one. He is a weak lineup, which lost Miguel Tejada who was Markakis safety net. Mockdraftcentral.com ranks Nick Markakis 46th in the site's Average Draft Position.
