National League East
New York Mets—Francisco Rodriguez
Next In Line: Pedro Feliciano, Eddie Kunz
I urge you to try to forget the ugly season that it was for the New York Mets in 2009 when you are evaluating Francisco Rodriguez. There is no possible way that the team can suffer the same number and severity of injuries again this season. However, there are two things that… 
American League East
New York Yankees—Mariano Rivera
Next In Line: Phil Hughes, Alfredo Aceves, Joba Chamberlain?
Every year we sit and wonder if THIS will be the year that the mighty Rivera starts to show his age. 2009 seemed to be it as he was coming back from surgery and fast approaching 40 years old. Rivera recorded 44 saves, his most since 2005, and his ERA… 
Jose Valverde, RP, Detroit Tigers. This is one of my least favorite closers in all of fantasy baseball because he always leaves you on the edge of your seat every time he comes out of the bullpen, and too often for my liking you end up throwing the remote across the room because he blows the save. Valverde spent some time on the… 
Chone Figgins, 3B, Seattle Mariners. I might not agree with the amount of money he got in his free agent contract, but Figgins still has a decent amount of value in fantasy circles. Figgins has stolen at least 40 bases in four of the last five seasons, but he doesn't help you in many other categories. His average is good but not great… 
Roy Halladay, SP, Philadelphia Phillies. There isn't much leg work to talk about here with Halladay. He has been one of the best pitchers in baseball for what seems like a decade now, and with a move to the National League could he only get better? He is an absolute workhorse who has won 20 games twice in his career and has over…

Jason Bay, OF, New York Mets. Although for the longest time it didn't seem that he wanted to, Jason Bay took the big bucks to go to the Big Apple and anchor the Mets batting order. Everyone on the Mets will be undervalued this year after their atrocious offensive season in 2009, and now the questions will come about Bay and how Citi… 
It all came down to the last week in the inaugural Five Game Parlay, but we have a champion. After being screwed out of his first 14 wins by my crazy scheme to try to win, Jeff Mans overcame a 1-9 start to take home the title of the best picking against the spread. He had a one game lead over both me… NFC
North Chicago Bears -- WR Johnny Knox, P Richmond McGee, QB Brett Basanez, DB Al Afalava, DB Danieal Manning, OL Lance Louis, OL James Marten and DL Matt Toeaina. Detroit Lions -- LB Larry Foote, RB Cedric Peerman, DB Brian Witherspoon, DL Joe Cohen, OL Dan Gerberry, OL Roy Schuening, OL Corey Hilliard and QB Patrick Ramsey. Green Bay Packers -- NT Ryan Pickett, WR Patrick Williams, S Derrick…
Well, it all comes down to this. This is the final week of the football season, and with that, the last week of the Five Game Parlay. We've had brussel sprouts, Dirty Dancing, and attempts at eating dog biscuits this season. Jeff Mans had a chance to close the door on his competition, but he definitely left the door open as he had…
