Anthony Castrovince, of MLB.com, reports Cleveland Indians C Victor Martinez cranked out two home runs in Spring Training Friday, Feb. 27.
Our Instinct: It looks like Martinez has regained muvh of his strength. Don’t rule him out for 25 hr’s. While some will view him as a risk, he should be worth a solid $20, try to down play him at your auction and scoop him up for $15.

Carrie Muskat, of MLB.com, reports Chicago Cubs SP Ted Lilly pitched two scoreless innings Friday, Feb. 27, giving up two hits and striking out two.
Our Instinct: I expect Lilly’s ip, wins, and k’s to dip slightly and his era to rise over last season in 2009. Still, he remains about a $20 player that you should be able to get for $10-$14.

Bill Plunkett, of The Orange County Register, reports Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim SP John Lackey will start the team’s Spring Training game Monday, March 2.
Our Instinct: Don’t expect 19 wins out of Lackey this season, but other than that he should be pretty close to where he was in 2007. 600-620 points and value of $22-23 will be reasonable. He’s a great buy if you can get him in the neighborhood of $15.

Lyle Spencer, of MLB.com, reports Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim OF Bobby Abreu stroked two doubles in Spring Training Friday, Feb. 27.
Our Instinct: It’s just classic Bobby Abreu. The guy just goes out and plays. Abreu’s numbers may dip slightly this season, but expect him to still be a 20/20 guy and put up 650 points. He should be worth about $25 and you probably can expect to be able to land him for under $20.
