• MLB Busts of the Week - Week 13

  Without fail, every week in MLB there will be busts. It's inevitable because someone has to slump and someone has to pitch horrible. Some are one time flukes and others like to make a habit of it. Luckily for the busts this week, they aren't normally on this list and are just making a temporary appearances ... hopefully. Dan Uggla (Florida Marlins - 2B) : Boy oh boy did Uggla pull a 180. He was playing red hot for awhile, and then I put him on the Trade 'Em list saying he was going to...

• MLB Waiver Wire - Week 14

  Who is hanging on the wire this week? Someone is dangling and ready for you pick him. There is still some raw talent left for you if you need to switch it up. This wire features some youngsters coming into their own and a returning rookie trying to fight his way back. Ross Gload - 1B/OF Kansas City Royals Owned : 1.5% Notes : Ross's playing time this year wasn't substantial until Billy Butler went down to Triple-A, now that he has played so well, the Royals are keeping him at first base even...

• MLB Buy 'n Sell (6/29)

  There are several players to keep an eye on this week. There are the obvious players that have inflated values due to huge performances, but there are also some players who may not have been considered at first. Gambling is always fun until you lose. This feature of MLB Buy ‘n Sell just so happens to put a ton of faith in players while also investing a lot. Faith is a big no-no in fantasy sports because it can backfire big time, but that is what makes gambling fun. You can either go home with empty...

• 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 Top Weekly Performances - Starting Pitchers

  Starting pitching this past week left a lot to be desired, but here are three pitchers who excelled very well and showed some good stuff. Gold Jason Marquis (CHC) - Jason had a beautiful week for the Chicago Cubs. He threw 13 innings, earned two wins while striking out three and giving up seven hits. He maintained a 0.68 ERA and 0.75 WHIP. Marquis also has a four game win streak going. Good enough for the gold this week. Silver Armando Galarraga (DET) - Galarraga's season is shaping up very nicely...

• MLB Injury Extra: Replacements

  Screaming Sports brings you a new fantasy article! The injury extra is brought to you this week by Fantasy Doctor Drew. I will be going over some major injuries in the MLB these past two weeks and give you some suggestions on who to use as replacements. Good Luck out there! First Base Albert Pujols St. Louis Cardinals - First Base Owned: 100% Injury: Strained left calf / Out 3 weeks Replace with : Kevin Millar Baltimore Orioles - First Base Owned: 9% Notes : Millar is listed day to day right now...

• 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 - Relief Pitchers

  Relief pitchers are becoming better and better as the years pass. The relief position isn't a demotion anymore, but a chance to close or save the game for your team. These guys show why it's important to have a quality closer on your team. Gold Francisco Rodriguez (LAA - RP) - Every team wants a quality closer, someone to seal the deal. Francisco did just that last week. He pitched on five games, and earned five saves. Four of those games were flawless and only gave up two hits in one game...

• 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 Top Weekly Performances - Catchers

  Fantasy catchers have been very odd this season. There have been a few consistent players, but it seems like the majority of the best "weekly" catchers are ones that you wouldn't expect. This week is a bit different because two of the most consistent catchers made the list. However, the guy who tops the list is a guy who's basically been a bust so far this season. Each player listed below has performed at a very high level this week and deserves praise and recognition for their...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Catchers

  This week is a perfect example of fantasy sports being so unpredictable. The top catcher is a guy that, until his big outburst, was actually available in some leagues. On top of that, the second best catcher played third base this week, and the third best catcher of the week is in a platoon. It's hard to predict which catchers will have a big game, but it seems like it's beginning to be the norm when lesser named catchers produce well, yet elite players fail to live up to expectations. This...

• MLB Status Check (5/2)

  There are quite a few big names on this week's MLB Status Check. However, there are also quite a few surprises. The biggest surprises would be the power pitchers who seem to be dropping like flies in terms of fantasy value. For instance, Justin Verlander and Brett Myers can throw a fastball by any batter in the game, yet they are getting rocked. Matt Holliday is playing like just an average outfielder, and a kid by the name of Nate McLouth is playing like he's part of the Hall of Fame. It...

• Japanese Outfielder Kosuke Fukudome Agrees to Terms on Four-Year Deal With Cubs

  The 30 year-old much sought after Japanese outfielder, Kosuke Fukudome, has agreed to terms with the Chicago Cubs on four-year contract that will last through the 2011 season. He will make an average of about $12 M per year. Fukudome might be undervalued in some fantasy leagues, but watch out in others where people might buy into the hype a little too readily. As a Japanese import, Fukudome might be a somewhat comparable to Akinori Iwamura who signed with Tampa Bay last year. Both bat left-handed...
