It sucks to get old – just ask Alex Rodriguez (3B, NYY), who turns 37 this summer. Rodriguez’s aches and pains have included hip surgery in 2009, groin and calf issues in 2010, and oblique tightness, a torn meniscus in his knee, and a sore thumb last year.

While so many backstops come with some sort of caveat, Brian McCann (C, ATL) has been the rare catcher with the combination of batting average, power, and importantly, health. As he enters his age-28 season, is another repeat in the offing?

Throughout his MLB career, Matt Joyce (OF, TAM) had shown flashes of his ability but never managed to produce consistently enough to stick on the big league roster. Everything changed in 2011 as Joyce consolidated his versatile talents and enjoyed a mini-breakout season. So what's next for Joyce?

Because so many overvalue saves, few values exist among relief pitchers. Getting a fair price early on will suffice as a bargain, while a couple late discounts await. Let’s look at where the values lie when comparing our BaseballHQ.com values to the Average Draft Positions from MockDraftCentral.com.

The last three seasons have arguably been the worst of David Wright's (3B, NYM) career. Coming off a season where he was struck with his first major injury (stress fracture/lower back), which cost him more than two months playing time, what can we expect in 2012?

Ervin Santana (RHP, LAA) appeared to be on his way to becoming one of the game's elite pitchers after his 2008 season. Elbow problems derailed him in 2009, but he has rebounded to establish himself as a solid workhorse starter. After consecutive seasons of skills recovery, there might even be more to come.

Over the last three years, Matt Cain (RHP, SF) has averaged 220 innings, an ERA just under 3.00 and 13 wins. At age 27, he's in his prime. Is it safe to assume another season like the last?

With 18 wins and an ERA well south of 3.00 in 2011, Jered Weaver (RHP, LAA) was rightly called the Angels’ ace and factored into the Cy Young discussion. After making a big splash in the off-season, the Angels are looking to go deep into the post season in 2012. Can Weaver deliver an encore performance?
