I am looking for a professional sports handicapper and can't make up my mind. There are so many services to choose from. I am kind of leaning towards this guy after seeing his video on sports picks. He claims a 97% success rate which I find hard to believe, I would be happy with a 60% success rate. Anyway, it's supported by a clickbank guarantee. I have bought products through clickbank before and I can trust them. I was just wondering what other people thought about these kinds of products?

I’ve been under the impression that in 2009 Denard Span will be what Shane Victorino was a season or two ago – a guy who could hit 15 hrs and steal somewhere between 30-40 bags, who you can get later in the draft…

I think the projection systems are undervaluing Victorino because of his 4 steal season in 2006. I have a hard time believing that he will fall below 30 steals. Also, his triples add value, though not to the degree that Jose Reyes does. My main question is whether Victorino can hit the 20 HR level. If he can, his value goes way up. That said, I do like the Lewis comparison, because Lewis can easily contribute 90% (or better) of Victorino’s value off the waiver wire. I think Elijah Dukes is another guy who is available way later and can put up similar, or better, numbers.

Nice comp Jim.
Checking out MDC hes being taken before Hart, McLouth, and Ellsbury. If you were looking for steals, why not grab Ellsbury? If you were looking for power/steal combo why not Hart or McLouth? They have more power and still get 20+ steals. Fred Lewis is being drafted over 180 spots later.
Victorino definitely seems to beovervalued this year. However not too surprising. East coast team, defending champs, and hes an easy guy to root for.

Fred Lewis comes to mind when you start talking about 10-12 homeruns and 25 steals, and you can probably pick him up off the waiver wire and save a 4th or 5th round pick.
