• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Relief Pitchers

  Closers must have ice water running through their veins to be able to handle the pressure. The entire game comes down on their shoulders and if they mess up then the entire team suffers. It's a position that requires a pitcher to have a strong personality and to not worry about mistakes. This week's installment of the top relief pitchers focuses on three closers who have gone above and beyond and outperformed every other closer in the league. It may be a bit surprising that only one of the...

• 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 Buy 'n Sell (7/6)

  The All-Star break is close at hand and that means it's time for smart fantasy owners to take advantage of those less fortunate. This week's MLB Buy ‘n Sell focuses on two sets of players. The first set is players who have very high values right now, but have been marked with inconsistency. The other focuses on players who don't have very high values now, but they have a very good chance of putting up solid numbers and helping fantasy owners in due time. There are many players on this...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – Center Fielders

  It seems that the centerfield position always has that one player who comes from nowhere and puts up great numbers, but then that player isn't seen again for a while. This week is a perfect example because that's most likely what's going to happy. Cody Ross surprised everyone this week with his, finally, consistent play. Grady Sizemore makes another appearance and it's beginning to be the norm for him. However, as stated above, the one player that makes this week's Top Centerfield...

• MLB Status Check - Week 14

  Many fantasy owners praised the fantasy gods this week. There hadn't been too many really outstanding offenses performances. There have been some alright performances lately, but this week the crop of elite players is quite high and fantasy owners couldn't be any happier. This week's version of MLB Status Check will focus on nine total players. Those players are divided into three categories; lived up to the hype, didn't live up to the hype, and keep an eye on. The first two categories...

• 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 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 - Second Basemen

  I'd like to start this week's top performances with a joke from Karolyn Rose, the wife of Pete Rose. She said "It was too bad I wasn't a second baseman; then I'd probably have seen a lot more of my husband." Karolyn may not have had a lot of starting time with these red hot second basemen playing right now, however. Gold Jeff Baker (Colorado) - Jeff Baker. It was a surprise to see him in this spot, winning the gold. Baker has been having a very quiet year and then came out...

• 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 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 Status Check (6/12)

  What a week for fantasy baseball. Normally it's very easy to find some highly drafted players who have successful weeks, but for some reason this week was a bit hard. Not because the top players had bad weeks, but because there were so many amazing weeks from lesser known players. However, it was pretty hard to find a highly drafted player who had a flat out bad week. There were several that had mediocre weeks, many with solid weeks, but overall there were only a few players that really stood...

• MLB Buy 'n Sell (6/1)

  One of the best things about fantasy sports is guessing the right time to pick someone up or trade someone away. It's very hard to gauge the value of a player, but sometimes it's just too hard to go up against statistics. This article features six total players, three of which are sell-high candidates, while the other three are buy-low candidates. Those in the sell-high category have good value and the upcoming month does not bode well for them in terms of their career numbers. The opposite...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – Center Fielders

  The best thing about fantasy baseball is that surprises are around every corner. You never know when a lesser-known player will all of a sudden rise in the ranks and outperform elite players. This week Shane Victorino outperformed several elite centerfielders and has been priceless to fantasy owners. Victorino has always had some value, but the same can't be said for Cody Ross. Ross played like he was in the middle of the homerun derby this week. However, I'll save the best surprise for last...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Catchers

  Apparently this is the week of the backup catcher. Each catcher listed below is either a backup catcher, or they are relegated to splitting duty for a decent amount of time. However, this week they all performed admirably. These catchers have played well, hoping to gain more playing time. They did better than some of the elite catchers in the league. On top of that they also performed well while sharing catching duty with others. This was quite a good week for backup catchers; though don't expect...
