Fantasy Update

According to yahoo!, the ranks of the Cubs' offensive players in terms of fantasy value (their pre-season ranking is in parentheses):

Derrek Lee -- 21st (35)
Alfonso Soriano -- 29th (10)
Aramis Ramirez -- 32nd (29)
Mark DeRosa -- 88th (242)

And the pitchers:

Kerry Wood -- 35th (184)
Ryan Dempster -- 47th (145)
Carlos Marmol -- 55th (137)
Carlos Zambrano -- 64th (63)
Sean Gallagher -- 601st (646)
Bob Howry -- 642nd (560)
Rich Hill -- 671st (272)
Ted Lilly -- 723rd (144)
Jason Marquis -- 940th (1,002)

Analysis: Offensively, everyone is performing as expected or overachieving. From a pitching perspective, if your name isn't Carlos, Kerry, or (gasp!) Dempster, you don't belong on a fantasy roster right now.
