Big News in Detroit, as “Papa Grande” ambles into town as the new sheriff, or closer, or both. Also, some relievers to avoid, and other players.

Waiver Wire is following the news again, bringing you the latest on Adrian Beltre, Casey Kotchman, and others…

Happy New Year!!! Thanks to all the readers of THT Fantasy and Waiver Wire. This week, the Graphical Player concept of “Sentiment” is discussed, along with even more Yankees (Nick Johnson and Curtis Granderson) and reader request J.P. Howell (and Soriano as well).

This week, we’re covering some guys in the news – recent signees Mike Cameron, John Lackey, and Garrett Atkins, and also the newest Mariner, Cliff Lee.

This week, two emerging sluggers, Lind and Morales, and a couple closers are examined, plus discussion on the role of “reputation,” and a preview of some of the cool graphs which give “Graphical Player” its name!

Will Dustin Pedroia’s career K total top Mark Reynolds’ 2010 mark at the end of this year? Since we did Yankees last week, it’s only fair to focus on their rivals this week, since Boston isn’t lacking in star-level roto players, either. Also, we have a treat—preview images of the “mini-browser” portion of Graphical Player 2010 for the players we’re covering!

Happy Thanksgiving! Staying focused on top players from 2009, we’re going spotlight some Yankees, but don’t expect Black Friday sales pricing on these guys in 2010. And we can all be thankful that Graphical Player ’10 is soon to be available!

Taking a cue from the NL side, we’re going a bit more in-depth this week on fewer players: The fleet Rajai Davis, Aaron Hill and Edwin Jackson.

This week on Waiver Wire, we have some requests from last week and will also consider the top SB guys in the AL…

Derek Jeter, “The Captain,” was “Mr. November” again this year, and there’s no doubt that he was a huge part of their 103-win season. See how he and others shape up as 2010 fantasy picks…
