• MLB Buy 'n Sell - Week 22

  The best thing in fantasy baseball is when you make a trade and wind up fleecing another owner because they didn't know as much. Too many people look for the quick fix and think a guy who's had an alright season and a great week will all of a sudden have a great season the rest of the way. That sometimes does work, but most of the time they'll wind up going back to their normal numbers and the owner will wind up worse than he was before the trade. That's what this article is here...

• 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 (7/17)

  The All-Star break is a great thing for players because it gives them a short break during the season in which they can relax and get some much needed rest. Only two players on this list made it to the All-Star game. They were extremely deserving of the opportunity. However, hopefully some of the other players on this list used the rest to their advantage because many big named players went into the break after some ugly performances. This week's installment of MLB Status Check focuses on three...

• MLB Buy 'n Sell (7/13)

  This installment of MLB Buy 'n Sell will be a little different than normal. With the All-Star break right around the corner, this article will still focus on some players who's value is higher/lower depending on how they pitched this week, but it will also give a view into how they've faired after the break in the past, for those that have enough experience that is. It was hard to find players worth selling because there were so many players with high value. However, I believe that I...

• MLB Waiver Wire - Week 15

  The wire is beginning to thin very quickly but it seems like a lot of the consistent players that have been suggested are still sitting there. I guess no one has called their number in line yet, but sooner or later with the amount of injuries happening, people need replacements. Here are a few suggestions and a few repeats. (Can't have too much of a good thing) Cody Ross Florida Marlins - OF Owned: 35% Notes: Ross has been picked up by 26% of GMs this past week. Maybe they finally read some of...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – First Basemen

  Homeruns are perhaps the most exciting stat in baseball. Fans love watching players drive the ball and rack up RBI. When fantasy owners think of the first base position they will usually think of a handful of players, namely two or three big named players. This week's Top 1B Performances just so happens to include two of the three big names; Ryan Howard and Albert Pujols. This list also includes a player that many wouldn't have expected, mainly because he's only been playing first base...

• 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 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 Top Weekly Performances - Catchers

  This week was extremely surprising. There was only one friendly face on this week's top performances. It's always nice to see fresh faces because catcher is such a hard position to draft in fantasy baseball. They play a tough position that takes a strain on them and can get easily banged up (i.e. Jorge Posada earlier in the season). Therefore, a catcher, without a household name, can be extremely helpful when they heat up. It helps owners get depth at a position that lacks it. This week was...

• MLB Trade 'Em - Week 12

  The trade deadline for the Majors is six weeks away, don't sweat it though; the fantasy world has more time then that. Most leagues are set for as late as September. Now that we are almost halfway through the season, we all have a feel for where the players are going, what kind of numbers they will produce and a few odd surprises. There are a few players to never let go of, then there are others you should trade as soon as you can. Here is a list of some players you should consider trading away...

• 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!

• MLB Waiver Wire - Week 11

  There are still a lot of strong and potentially valuable prospects on the wire. If you are looking to switch up your team for some fresh, hot players this week, here are a few. Jose Guillen Kansas City Royals - OF Owned : 86% Notes : Guillen is getting really hot lately and he had a dominating week against the Yankees. He went 11 for 30 with six runs, four home runs, 10 RBIs, a stolen base and batted .367. A few lucky GMs can still pick him up. His season numbers are getting up there also. Nick Swisher...

• MLB Weekly Sleepers - Week 11

  Last week, The Chicago White Sox basically produced three of the weekly sleepers by themselves. This week, my sleepers feature a few utility players and two pitchers. Good luck out there! Maicer Izturis (LAA - 2B, 3B, SS) - Who? Maicers season production has all been from last week. Last week Izturis went 11/26 with five runs, two home runs, eight RBIs, a stolen base and batted .423. This brought Maicers season numbers up to three home runs, 23 RBIs, 27 runs, seven stolen bases and an average of...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Catchers

  It seems like every single week I stress about the inconsistency of fantasy catchers. This is another week in which I will do so. Brian McCann, Geovany Soto, and Bengie Molina failed to make the list after basically being the most consistent catchers of the year. In their stead are a terrific catcher who finally hit some long balls, a catcher with barely any sample size, and the catcher who started the season off at an amazing clip, only to settle down into a solid, reliable catcher. However, give... Posted Jun 08 2008, 07:25 PM by BillyS with | with no comments Filed under: Minnesota Twins, Joe Mauer, Colorado Rockies, MLB Top Catcher Performances, A.J.
