• MLB Weekly Sleepers (7/20)

  Risk is a huge part of fantasy baseball. With big risks come big rewards. However, big risks can easily burn you and wind up hurting you more than you already were. The risk that has to do with this article is the risk of players returning from the DL from various injuries. Three of the five players listed in this article have been on the DL for a little while and may not even come back when they were scheduled to do so. However, if they do come back then the numbers they are capable of putting up...

• 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 Fantasy Minute - Week 7

  1. Holds are a big deal. That is, of course, if your league counts Holds as a stat, which increasingly is becoming the case. Last year, Brandon Lyon led all relievers with 35 holds. This year, four pitchers are on pace to have over 40 holds, led by Kyle McClellan with a league-high 13 holds at the moment. 13 pitchers are on pace to compile over 30 holds, whereas last year only eight pitchers had at least 30 holds. As pitching becomes more and more specialized, holds become a very nice way to earn...

• MLB Stock Market - May 7th Edition

  A lot of youngsters were given golden opportunities to stake their claim to a starting position at the beginning of the season. Some stumbled, but some of them are taking advantage of that opportunity in a big way. Some of them make our bulls-and-bears list for the week: Bulls Matt Kemp - OF - (Los Angeles Dodgers) : Kemp is caught in the quagmire that is what I call the Juan-Pierre Mess, but he did his best to get out of that conundrum with a huge week. Kemp hit .414 with 11 RBIs over the last seven...

• 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 Stock Market - April 16th Edition

  Buy! Sell! High! Low! What are the Dukes up to? (A reference to Trading Places, for those who were wondering, not to Zach and Elijah). Some star players see their stock plummet, but I will say this until August: it's still early. Bulls Evan Longoria - 3B - ( Tampa Bay Rays) : Those who drafted him in anticipation of seeing results in May or June, you were rewarded early. Longoria got the call thanks to Willy Aybar, and he has made himself immediately comfortable. Longoria has reached base in...

• 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...

• MLB Status Check (3.28.08)

  The Boston Red Sox and Oakland A's opened the baseball season in Japan this week. It was a good series, each team played well at times, and each team also had many mistakes. Several players stuck out with their performances, for the good and the bad. This article focuses those that performed as they were expected to, those that left owners scratching their heads and those that opened eyes and could be worth watching for the future. Keep in mind that this list is not intended to be so large. In...
