• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Second Basemen

  The second base position used to be hard to fill with a very good player, but more and more players are becoming versatile enough to play the position enough to qualify as a second baseman. However, the true second basemen are what this is about and the three listed below fit that bill. Sure, some of them have played a few games at other positions, but their primary position is second base. The three players mentioned below put up great numbers to help fantasy owners and deserve recognition for their...

• MLB Status Check - Week 21

  There have been many disappointments in fantasy baseball this year. However, there have also been many surprises that have helped save many owners' seasons. Three such surprises are in this article and could have been had by anyone off the waiver wire this year. As stated earlier, there have also been many disappointments, and one of the bigger names in category would be Derek Jeter. He had a sub-Jeter like year and hadn't exactly been helping fantasy owners (or the Yankees) too much. Until...

• MLB Status Check - Week 20

  There is nothing more satisfying than watching how well, or poorly, fantasy players perform in a week. It may sound harsh to actually cheer for players to perform poorly, but it makes my job a lot easier, plus it is nice to see that even great players can hit rough patches. There were several top players who performed just like that, but there were also some good players who played like busts. This installment of MLB Status Check consists of three categories, placing three players into the group...

• MLB Status Check - Week 18

  What a week! There have been some extremely big names in the spotlight this week. It seemed like there was an elite player in every category this week. This was especially exciting because some owners got big days from players they hoped to perform well, while other others were given absolutely horrible performances by their players. Then there are some players who have been playing well as of late who have helped owners out as well. This version of MLB Status Check contains three categories; lived...

• MLB Buy 'n Sell - Week 18

  The trade deadline is approaching and now is the time to make that major move you've been waiting for. This will be the last time owners can fix up their teams via trade; therefore it's time to make the most of it. There have been some big names that are slumping and some big names that have been red hot, even though they aren't expected to continue that pace. This article of MLB Buy ‘n Sell focuses on three players, whose value is red hot, who should be sold and three players, whose...

• MLB Status Check (7/24)

  We haven't seen a week like this in quite a long time. It is, in my opinion, the perfect week for some fantasy owners. Some players are playing their hearts out while others looks fizzled out and are in prolonged slumps. Of course if you own a player in a slump then you aren't happy, but if you own one of the players that are on fire then you're dancing for joy, especially if your opponent has one or more of the mentioned slumping players. Things don't stop at that though. There are...

• MLB Waiver Wire - Week 17

  Trying to find someone decent after the All-Star game? Picking someone up now is taking a chance and hoping you're picking right. Most of the quality players have been grabbed and people can see what to expect from the ones who are left, but with waiver wire, there is always someone stashed away you could use to help your team. You just have to find them and here is a little help. Nomar Garciaparra Los Angeles Dodgers - 3rd Owned: 25% Notes : Nomar is having a decent year, not quite what everyone...

• MLB Buy 'n Sell (7/20)

  The first few games in the second half of the season have been quite exciting. There are several players who have started to pick things up, but there have also been some players that have fallen. Owners should keep their eyes open and hopefully try to acquire the missing piece of a championship team before the trade deadline. This installment of the MLB Buy ‘n Sell consists of three players in each of the two categories. Those that are riding hot streaks are prime candidates to sell, while those...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Catchers

  Catchers always seem to be very inconsistent in the fantasy world. There are only a handful of reliable catchers out there. Two of the more reliable catchers in the league just so happen to be a part of this list. Brian McCann seems to be the most reliable catcher in the NL, Joe Mauer the most valuable in the AL, and Ramon Hernandez seems poised for a comeback. Each player was extremely consistent in producing great numbers for fantasy owners. Gold Brian McCann (Catcher - Atlanta Braves) - McCann...

• MLB Top Weekly Performance - Second Baseman

  Second base is, at least in my opinion, an extremely fun position to draft for. There is always risk, but there is always a ton of surprise as well. Nobody could have predicted Chase Utley having such a great first half, but nobody could have predicted Robinson Cano being so bad in the first half either. There is always someone who comes out of nowhere and puts up numbers that nobody expected. A great example would be this week. The Cubs' Mike Fontenot has had a really solid week, especially...

• MLB Trade 'Em - Week 13

  It's that time of the week ... time to do some wheeling and dealing with your fellow GMs. Who should you throw up on the trading block this week and who are you looking to acquire? Here are a few players you could consider dumping right now. Jose Guillen Kansas City Royal - RF Notes : The time has come to throw Guillen up on the trading block while his value is still decent. There are a few late blooming prospects you could easily get for him. He has been hot this past month and that's the...

• MLB Buy 'n Sell (6/22)

  This week definitely held a few surprises in terms of the value of players. There were some complete surprises in terms of those that should be sold high and those that should be invested in. In fact, it was a little odd that some of those with the highest values aren't exactly elite fantasy members anymore. On the other side of the spectrum there are players who have been either just alright this season, pretty bad, or incredible. There really is no bias. Honestly, who would have thought that...

• MLB Waiver Wire - Week 12

  We are nearing mid-way point of the season and some stars are frizzling, some prospects are shining and you're looking for that sure thing. Aren't we all? We've got Darrell Rasner, a pitcher struggling to make a name for himself. Next up is Chase Headley, a promising and hyped star despite not even stepping in a major league batter's box. Jason Isringhausen, an old relief pitcher coming back off the DL and finding his "Happy Place." Last but not least we have Luke Scott...

• MLB Weekly Sleepers - Week 12

  Looking for some fill-in players? Here are a handful of sleepers that are picking it up as of lately and need some attention. This week's sleepers cover most positions and should fulfill your needs. Good Luck out on the field! Luke Scott (Baltimore - OF) - Luke Scott isn't just a sleeper, but he was a top performer this past week and he is showing signs of waking up big time. Last week he went 8 for 18 with seven runs, four home runs, five RBIs and batted .444 against Boston and Toronto....

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – Left Fielders

  It was another strong week for left fielders: Jose, Carlos, and Luke. Not quite Johnny, Jim and Jose, but still very strong. Gold Jose Guillen (KC) - Guillen started by tearing up the New York Yankees, then decided to tear up the Texas Rangers and now he is working Arizona Diamondbacks. Last week he went 14 for 29 with six runs, two home runs and seven RBIs with a .483 batting average. Amazingly, he is still free in a few leagues out there in the fantasy world. Silver Carlos Lee (HOU) - Lee had some...
