• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Second Basemen

  Second basemen had an extremely strong week. Quite a few hit over .400 on the week and had some all around guys but Dustin Pedroia, Robinson Cano and Ian Kinsler stood out amongst the rest easily. Gold Dustin Pedroia (Boston Red Sox) : Dustin had one week of no production what-so-ever and then two fantastic weeks. I like to see him do well because his is part of my fantasy team but he is a Boston Red Sox. None the less, he went 17 for 27, batted .630 on the week with five multiple hit games, including...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Relief Pitchers

  The three top relief pitchers this week should come as no surprise to everyone. Minnesota, Boston and the Yankees definitely had some good games last week. How do you know that? That's because the top relief performances came from Joe Nathan, Jonathan Papelborn and Mariano Rivera. Gold Joe Nathan (Minnesota Twins) : What more could you ask for in a relief pitcher? Joe threw four innings last week, closed each game and earned the four saves. He only gave up two hits the entire time while striking...

• MLB Status Check (6/26)

  It's always surprising how sometimes a very talented player can be a liability because of inconsistency. It's also surprising how sometimes a great player can try to keep his career going later in his age, only to be a shell of his former self, while another player can resurrect his career and put up numbers that he hasn't even seen for a while. That's the kind of week that this was. There are the usual players that you would expect to do well, but then there are also those that didn't...

• MLB Waiver Wire - Week 13

  Waiver Wire is beginning to thin out, which means less valuable players for your lineup. Instead, the wire is beginning to fill up with injured and non-available players. There are still some hidden gems if you dig enough, granted you most likely won't find the next A-Rod or even Jay Bruce, but they can help you out in a jam for a week or two until your players gets going again. Good luck out on the field. Elijah Dukes Washington Nationals - OF Owned : 19% Notes : Dukes is starting to settle...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – Center Fielders

  The centerfield position was very strong this week. It wasn't exactly the players you would have expected, save for Beltran since he's been hot lately, but the others were extremely solid this week and helped several fantasy owners. It's great to see more examples of five tool players this week. Beltran has been one of the best in the game for the last few years, but now all of a sudden a player like Coco Crisp showcases power and speed. Sadly, I don't believe Willy Taveres is going...

• MLB Trade 'Em - Week 11

  Here are a couple players to look into trading this week; their value is high or decent and you should be able to turn your team around a little bit with their help on the trading block. Justin Upton (Ari - OF) - Upton's fantasy value has been very high lately. He has the potential to finish in the top 20, and maybe even 10, outfields by season's end. He will be a serious talent in the coming years, but right now, he is a gem that just needs polishing. Justin was awesome in April, then slumped...

• MLB Busts of the Week - Week 10

  Perhaps the most frustrating part of fantasy sports is when a highly ranked player does not perform as expected. When a player is drafted early they should be the model of consistency and produce well. However, that is not always the case since the players are human. This article will revolve around six players who were drafted early, or gained value as the season went on, who have suddenly been outperformed by lesser players. The players listed below are still legitimate players, but definitely...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – Left Fielders

  Not much came out of left field this past week except for two fantastic performances. All three top weekly performers are well known and you shouldn't be surprised to see them here. Gold Manny Ramirez (BOS - OF) - I love the performance, but dislike the fact that it's helping Boston win. Manny made the top weekly performances last week and again this week with good reason. Manny went 10 for 22 with eight runs, four home runs, 12 RBIs and batted .455! Beautiful golden performance. Silver Johnny...

• MLB Trade 'Em - Week 10

  Who is the lucky player to hit the block this week? Let's run through a few potential candidates. Trade Away: Vladimir Guerrero (LAA - OF) - Where is the Vlad who know and love? He is playing average this year to say it nicely. Last month, he went 18 for 80 with four home runs, 14 RBIs and batted .225. Most fantasy GMs can name 25 outfielders that are playing better right now, some including rookies. It's a safe bet saying it's time to put him up for some new talent. Josh Beckett (BOS...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Catchers

  Fantasy catchers have been some of the most inconsistent fantasy players this season. It seems like every week there are new names added to the list for those with the best week. However, that isn't entirely true. Brian McCann has been a rock at the position, proving just how valuable he is. The other two catchers, Molina and Varitek, are good in their own right, but neither of them have had the consistency as McCann as of late. Each player put up solid numbers this week at a position of weakness...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – Center Fielders

  The top performers this week seem to be all different types of players. First off, Josh Hamilton is hitting every pitch while trying to capture the triple crown. Secondly, Jacoby Ellsbury is annoying opposing batters by catching anything hit in his direction, plus he's shown a good mixture of power and speed. Lastly, Michael Bourn is the best base stealer in all of baseball. When you think about fast you think about Michael Bourn. Each player went above and beyond and put up some fantastic stats...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – Center Fielders

  This week's batch of centerfielders really performed well. Along with the resurgence of Mark Kotsay was the terrific week of young Carlos Gomez. It seems to be a kind of passing of the torch, ushering in a new era of hard-nosed players. Kotsay was always one of the players that would sacrifice his body in order to win. Carlos Gomez and Jacoby Ellsbury are cut from the same cloth. The only difference is that, even though they'll all do what it takes defensively, they don't have as much...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – First Basemen

  First basemen have always been a big component of fantasy baseball. They are the classic homerun hitters who hit the long ball and drive in tons of runs. However, this week the fantasy first basemen went above and beyond the call of duty. They were playing on an insanely high level. Kevin Youkilis lead the way with a stellar May and has more RBI this week than some players have all season long. Each player listed below went above and beyond and have helped numerous fantasy teams out. They show no...

• MLB Status Check (4/18)

  This was a very interesting week. This week really shows how much a single player can either hurt or help his team. Manny Ramirez has carried the Red Sox, David Ortiz has hurt the Red Sox, and Miguel Cabrera has done a bit of both to his Tigers. This week also showed the brilliance of Brandon Webb, as well as the talent of some lesser named players who have lots of talent of their own. This article is composed of three topics: Lived up to the hype, Way too hyped, and Keep an eye on. Three players...

• MLB Status Check (4/10)

  This season of baseball is already full of surprises. There are several players who have lived up to the hype, but the main surprises are those that haven't lived up to the hype, and those who now have more hype than ever before. This MLB Status Check will focus on three players from each category. The categories mentioned are those that performed at the level they were expected to, those that were drafted high but played poorly and those that seemed to fly under the radar and become fantasy...
