Early Season Sell High Fantasy Baseball Candidates

^ Kyle Lohse: He's the classic early-season example of a pitcher who's producing way above what would be a sustainable level. Dave Duncan is a great pitching coach, but not a miracle worker.

^ Kevin Millwood: At this point, he what his numbers over the past two years say that he is. Certainly, he's got to put up more good starts in this ballpark in the humidity he'll be facing all summer before you can say the old Millwood is back.

^ Aaron Harang: He's somewhat similar to Millwood in terms of the burden of proof that he has to surmount in that ballpark once the weather warms up a bit.

^ Nick Swisher: We see that some of our peers in the industry have him on their "buy" lists. True, he seems likely to surpass the production many had forecast for him, especially prior to the Xavier Nady injury. But remember that his career to date has been one of failing to live up to expectations, unrealistic though those might have been. We fear that his start is fueling more unrealistic "late bloomer" expectations.

^ Nelson Cruz: Is he the "Ryan Ludwick circa '08" of '09? He pretty much has to be if you're not going to collect your profit and move him now. That's not a chance we'd take.

^ Carlos Delgado: It's a sucker's bet to believe that he'll sustain this kind of production all year at his age, even in an admittedly friendlier hitter's park at home.

^ Adam Dunn: Ready to bet that he's banished his career-long hole in the swing? In that park? In that lineup? Yeah, we're not either.
