Hitter
Jack Hannahan - 3B - Cleveland Indians (39% owned)
While Cleveland is no hitters park especially for home runs it's better than any home park Hannahan has ever called home. After going from Oakland to Seattle he gets a small jump in power by going to Cleveland and the AL Central. The 20+ home run pace might be a bit optimistic for him, but 15 would be the low for him in my opinion.
He's 31 years old and largely known as a defensive player, but his strikeout rate has gotten better for the past two seasons. He's part of a surprising Indians squad and could be a good fill in for those waiting the return of Ryan Zimmerman.
Pitcher
Jason Marquis - SP - Washington Nationals (38% owned)
This is an interesting case. Could Marquis really have suddenly gained that much control to drop his career BB/9 from 3.46 all the way to 1.31? Probably not, but with 142 batters faced it's tough to debate he has improved his control so far this year. When you combine that with his ground ball tendencies you have a pitcher headed for a very solid ERA.
He's been lucky with his home runs against, but that's going to happen in this sample size with a ground ball pitcher. A lot in his numbers seem questionable, but as the sample grows you have to give some notice. Based on what we have seen I expect him to finish 2011 with an ERA below 4, but his win total will be a problem.
