Knox Bardeen at AOL FanHouse cautions fantasy owners to not get too carried away with San Francisco Giants’ rookie Buster Posey.

When the team re-signed veteran backstop Bengie Molina, Posey became either an emergency infielder or a minor league catcher in the short-term. There’s no need to get carried away with his versatility. Not yet, anyway. We still like his chances to somehow, someway crack the Giants’ lineup by the All-Star break.

Young Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andre Ethier is knocking on the door of fantasy’s elite National League hitters, says The Fantasy Man.

Ethier does have a sweet stroke, one that should point to a batting average well beyond the .272 he hit last season. During the course of 2009, though, Ethier did surprisingly hit 31 home runs, drive in 106 runs and establish himself as the Dodgers’ top clutch hitter. Those are some big-time positives, even as Ethier’s BABIP was a lowly .292 — a full 30 points below his career average.

Chinstrap Ninjas likes Cincinnati Reds outfielder Drew Stubbs as one of its nine sleepers for 2010. So do we. Stubbs is a talented guy who will make a big splash in steals and offer sound production elsewhere. As a late rounder, a fantasy owner could do far, far worse.

Jon Schuman at Baseball Fantasy highlights Nos. 11-20 on a suddenly deep list of intriguing shortstops. There’s production to be had in the second level of shortstops, from younger players with untapped potential — Alcides Escobar, Erick Aybar — to veterans with lengthy track records — Miguel Tejada, Rafael Furcal.
