Lots of younger players you might expect bounce-back year or big step forward: Ethier, Heyward, Bruce, Upton. ... And there are players not on this list who are worth considering: Mike Stanton, Jason Bay, Carlos Beltran, Logan Morrison, Nate McLouth

2011 Catchers
1. Brian McCann (Atl) 290
2. Buster Posey (SF) 278

4. Yadier Molina (StL) 237
5. Carlos Ruiz (Phi) 233

7. Ryan Doumit (Pit) 207
8. Ivan Rodriguez (Was) 202
9. Ramon Hernandez (Cin) 190
10. Miguel Montero (Arz) 186
10. Rod Barajas (LA) 186
Note: The question at catcher, as it is most seasons, is when do you draft your catcher? Do make a reach, move early and get the cream of the catching crop, even if it's for a player who MIGHT score 300 in a season. Or do you just wait until Round 10, 11 or 12 and see what's left. One player not to overlook is Montero, who is a top 4 catcher who missed significant time last season with a knee injury. Also there are some younger catchers who are ready to become the No. 1 catcher on their team.

2011 Third basemen
1. David Wright (NY) 395
2. Casey McGehee (Mil) 377
3. Ryan Zimmerman (Was) 357
4. Chase Headley (SD) 328
5. Scott Rolen (Cin) 326
6. Placido Polanco (Phi) 325
7. Pablo Sandoval (SF) 303
8. Ty Wigginton (Col) 293
9. Aramis Ramirez (Chi) 272
10. Casey Blake (LA) 259
Notes: Wright and Zimmerman are the class of this position, with McGehee maybe a notch below because he doesn't have the same track record. After that, it drops off into a mass of uncertainty. Can Headley produce any more than he did in 2010? Are Rolen and A-Ramirez simply too injury-prone? Will Sandoval bounce back anywhere near 2009 form? What will be Wigginton's role on the Rockies? Is Chipper Jones even worth drafting? But there are some younger players who didn't break the top 10 who are worth considering (Chris Johnson of the Astros and Pedro Alvarez of the Pirates).

2011 Shortstops
1. Troy Tulowitzki (Col) 386
2. Hanley Ramirez (Fla) 374
3. Stephen Drew (Arz) 358
4. Jose Reyes (NY) 346
5. Alex Gonzalez (Atl) 343
6. Miguel Tejada (SF) 320
7. Yuniesky Betancourt (Mil) 294
8. Ryan Theriot (StL) 277
9. Jason Bartlett (SD) 257
10. Ian Desmond (Was) 254
Note: At first glance, it looks like this is a thin position. But when you consider that injuries limited three of the top four scorers to 142 games or fewer last season, the top scorers have more scoring potential. And there are three players who didn't make the top 10 because injuries limited their time on the field (LA's Rafael Furcal and Phi's Jimmy Rollins) or was a midseason callup (Cubs' Starlin Castro). Given those facts, there are a few 400-point potential players at shortstop and 10 solid 300-point potential players. But there are also players with inherent risks.

2011 Second Basemen
1. Rickie Weeks (Mil) 416
2. Dan Uggla (Atl) 405
3. Kelly Johnson (Arz) 392
4. Brandon Phillips (Cin) 390
5. Juan Uribe (LA) 311
6. Jeff Keppinger (Hou) 302
7. Chase Utley (Phi) 286
8. Neil Walker (Pit) 281
9. Orlando Hudson (SD) 281
10. Omar Infante (Fla) 279
Note: At first glance, this position looks very bleak. Topping the list is Weeks, who finally showed what he could do if he could stay healthy for a full season. Uggla, Johnson and Phillips are solid picks, but then the numbers drop off. Yet, several players had their 2010 numbers held down by injury. Pro-rated over a full season, Utley and Walker would have easily had finished with numbers of that of the top 4. Hudson and Infante would have been just a notch behind. Keppinger could find himself in a platoon with Bill Hall. Freddy Sanchez is also a top-10 2B if his numbers are pro-rated. Jose Lopez and Skip Schumaker are also worth considering.

2011 First Baseman
1. Albert Pujols (StL) 501
2. Joey Votto (Cin) 474
3. Aubrey Huff (SF) 423
4. Ryan Howard (Phi) 383
5. Prince Fielder (Mil) 378
6. Adam LaRoche (Was) 364
6. James Loney (LA) 364
8. Gaby Sanchez (Fla) 358
9. Lyle Overbay (Pit) 322
10. Ike Davis (NY) 319
Notes: First base used to be a very deep position, almost ensuring each FBLG owner of a quality player. But the trade of Adrian Gonzalez to the Red Sox and Adam Dunn's signing with the White Sox has thinned out the position. Pujols and Votto remain first-round players, with Howard and Fielder solid 2nd-rounders. Huff's lack of a track record may allow him to be a later-round bonus. Then comes a series of solid but unspectacular veterans (LaRoche and Loney), veterans looking for rebound (Carlos Pena, Todd Helton), or young players looking for a breakout (Sanchez, Davis). If Brett Wallace fails to win the job in Houston, Carlos Lee may be moved to 1B. Braves rookie Freddie Freeman is an intriguing option. Padres and Dbacks are looking at platoon situations.

2010 season ends
With the Giants beating the Padres, there will be no Game 163 or 164, meaning the 2010 season ends.
And the 2010 FBLG overall championship goes to the Pickle Bugs, who finished the season with a 39-point Sunday and 190-point week to give Jon his first FBLG championship since 2001.
The Bugs took a 2-point lead into the final day and got a big 20-point outing from Ted Lilly. Upton No Good got a 15-point outing from Edwin Jackson, but UNG got little else on the day.
The end result was a 22-point margin of victory by the Bugs over UNG, the fourth closest finish in FBLG history behind Bill Kelm (7 points) in 2004, Noelle Martinez (13) in 1993, and Reid English (17) in 1998.
The 4697 winning total is the smallest winning total since Tim Martinez (4618) in 2002.
Also decided on Sunday, the Arbitration Losers secured third place, outdistancing the Gladstone Goatwhisperers 4579-4556. The Goatwhisperers were hoping for that playoff game and a bonus start for Tim Lincecum.
The Fresh Fish locked up last place and the No. 1 overall draft spot in 2011 (if they come back). It was Rick Ingebritson's first last-place finish since 2000. And the Fish were the first team to fail to score 4,000 points in a season since 2006.
Also Sunday, UNG locked up the consolation prize by beating the VC Appraisers 172-148
Here's how the standings shook out.
1. Pickle Bugs (Jon) 4697
2. Upton No Good (Bill-Rich) 4675
3. Arbitration Losers (Tim) 4579
4. Gladstone Goatwhisperers (Arik) 4556
5. Misfits (Reid) 4459
6. VC Appraisers (Kevin-Dave) 4260
7. Pitch You Blockhead (Scott) 4192
8. Triple-A's (Ken) 4173
9. Chico's Chuggers (Shawn) 4089
