Renck, of The Denver Post, reports Colorado Rockies OF Carlos Gonzalez (quadriceps) was scratched from the lineup Wednesday, March 17, because of tightness in his quadriceps following a weight-lifting session. He is expecting to play Thursday, March 18. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Carlos_Gonzalez/836924 836924 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 16:12:02 EDT kffl.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Carlos_Gonzalez/836924 Fantasy Baseball's Lost Boys In looking to provide you with the best possible fantasy advice we can, the FanHouse team is constantly trying to uncover new ways to find value. Remember, too much hype on a player will end up causing him to become overvalued in many leagues. Unfortunately, this often happens to young players who many are tagging as "the next" someone or something. People love flocking to Jason Heyward and Stephen Strasburg just like everyone loved Matt Wieters last season (and this season again) and Alex Gordon several years back.

In today's era of fast information, it's actually amazing to me how fast some players are largely lost in the shuffle of fantasy hype after not becoming an immediate star. Some of last year's examples of players who had lost a good bit of hype and had breakout campaigns were Mark Reynolds, Matt Cain, Rickie Weeks (prior to injury) and Carlos Gonzalez (to some extent). Hell, even Felix Hernandez had lost some hype before coming into his own as a Cy Young candidate.

Remember, players on this list were not hyped simply for kicks on a Friday night. They all have some innate talent and could eventually break through the way Cain and Reynolds did last season. They've also had stunted development at the big league level -- for whatever reason -- and have a shot at being nice value picks in deeper fantasy leagues.

He went 2 for 3 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Diamondbacks. He's batting .500 (4 for 8) overall.

Our View: Gonzalez broke out last season and the promising young outfielder could be a true fantasy force this year. He still needs to master lefties, but is looking to build on last year's impressive second half, where he hit 12 homers, drove in 24 and hit .320 at the top of Colorado's lineup. He's certainly a 20-20 threat this year and has the ability to be a 30-30 man. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Carlos_Gonzalez/820150 820150 Sun, 07 Mar 2010 19:40:02 EDT fanball.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Carlos_Gonzalez/820150 Carlos Gonzalez went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI as a Rockies split-squad defeated a Diamondbacks Carlos Gonzalez went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI as a Rockies split-squad defeated a Diamondbacks split-squad 4-1 in seven innings Sunday.

He hit a single, double and a three-run homer off Rodrigo Lopez.

Our View: Smith needs a strong spring training, while fighting for playing time with Carlos Gonzalez and Dexter Fowler in Colorado's outfield mix. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Carlos_Gonzalez/814216 814216 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 20:20:02 EDT fanball.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Carlos_Gonzalez/814216 Gonzalez is expected to handle the leadoff spot for the Rockies to open the season, the Denver Post Gonzalez is expected to handle the leadoff spot for the Rockies to open the season, the Denver Post reports.

Gonzalez was hitting leadoff at the end of the 2009 season. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Carlos_Gonzalez/801115 801115 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 17:28:02 EDT kffl.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Carlos_Gonzalez/801115 Gonzalez likely to play every day News: Colorado OF Carlos Gonzalez is excited as spring training begins because for the first time in his two-year major league career, he will be a starter out of the gate in spring training, reports MLB.com. After going 10 for 17 in the playoffs for the Rockies last season with a homer in the NLDS loss to the Phillies, Gonzalez has all but locked up a starting spot in left field. What is more, he is expected to play nearly every day as he's also the second-string center fielder. Dexter Fowler starts in center but when he needs an off day, Gonzalez is expected to slide over with Seth Smith being put in left.
