Fantasy Baseball: The All-Flex Team

C/1B/CI/UTL/DH                                                                                                 Jarrod Saltalamacchia- TEX

Texas got a gem in the making with the 6-4, multi-position slugger after Atlanta dealt him last season. 47 games at C and 38 at 1B gives this 25+ homer threat multiple ways to benefit your fantasy team. I don't think round 11 is too early for this 22-year old. That's right deep keeper owners. He is 22.

1B/SS/UTL/MI/CI/DH
Carlos Guillen- DET

Guillen will start the season at 1B for Detroit, but don't be surprised to see some games where he is at SS or even DH. The Detroit lineup is so scary, and so flexible they are going to be scoring runs in bushels. In a fantasy sense, he can play almost anywhere, and can save your team should you suffer a tough injury to a MI, SS, or UTL player.

OF/2B/MI/UTL/DH
B.J. Upton- TAM

Upton is one of the top "buzz" picks of early mock drafts. I have seen this guy go as early as the 2nd round. Easy does it. I like him in the mid-third. Last season he played 48 games at 2B, and if your league has him eligible there, then he is a lot more valuable at 2B than he is at OF. A league with dual eligibility makes him even more a sought after pick.

Getting a few of these "flex" guys is really a lot more valuable than most realize. Think about the above, and numerous others who play multiple positions when trying to round out the depth of your team.
