• 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 Top Weekly Performances - Short Stops

  For a short little while, short stops looked like they were breaking out of their season-long slump, hitting for insanely high averages and stealing plenty of bases. This week, there is some good news and bad news. The bad news? Short stops again had a mediocre week, with no short stop hitting more than two home runs or driving in more than six runs. The good news? With so many short stops clustered together, there is a good chance your team was not hurt by your short stop. With that, your top three...

• 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 Top Weekly Performances - Short Stops

  The cream rises to the top, as the top short stops from before the season take their rightful spots at the top of the SS list for this week. This week saw short stops do what we expected them to do: hit for average, steal bases, and hit for a little power. Your top three for the week: Gold Hanley Ramirez (Florida Marlins) : This is the Hanley Ramirez we know and love. After muddling through a relatively lowly season by his standards, Ramirez's bat woke up with a huge week. Ramirez not only hit...

• (Published) Fantasy Baseball Top Fives: Left-Side Infielders

  Last week, in honor of fans vigorously filling out their All-Star ballots, we decided to look at our ballots for the non-existent Fantasy All-Star Game, starting with the pitchers. As such, we will examine the top five players at each position thus far and why they are there. However, you will also see why certain players did not make the top five, plus a look at players who could crack the list by season's end. These lists should assist you in trade talks, whether you have a player on the list...

• MLB Fantasy Minute - Week 6

  1. Lance Berkman is the most underrated player in fantasy baseball. Berkman is a player who often gets overlooked in fantasy drafts. He tends to go in the fourth through sixth rounds, which is good and makes him the 40th or 50th best fantasy player, but when you take a closer look at his numbers, you wonder why he doesn't go higher. He is a virtual lock for 30 HR and 100 RBI each year, with a peak value of 45 HR and 135 RBI. He is a .303 career hitter, he draws a ton of walks, and he will even...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Short Stops

  Would you believe that no SS hit more than one home run this week? Short stops have been slow to produce runs directly this year, and this week was no exception. The name at the top surprises nobody, but his numbers might. Gold Hanley Ramirez (Florida Marlins) : Want proof that Ramirez is worth the $70 million the Marlins are planning to pay him? This week was a down week for Ramirez, and he still finishes at the top of the SS list. Ramirez did not hit any homers and drove in only two runs, but he...

• MLB Fantasy Minute - Week 5

  Musing about the quality of the NL this year, I realized that nobody gave any NL team except the Mets much of a shot at winning the World Series. The story, instead, was the Tigers, Red Sox, and maybe the Yankees and Angels. However, fantasy owners knew that the NL had a wealth of talent for fantasy purposes, with some drafts having nine NL players selected out of the first ten (Alex Rodriguez being the lone AL player). In particular, we focus on the NL West, the most surprising division of them...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Short Stops

  While one fantasy shortstop established himself as possibly the best fantasy commodity in the world, the rest of the fantasy shortstops were somewhat underwhelming. Expect that to be a common theme in more weeks than not this year. Gold Hanley Ramirez (Florida Marlins) : There may not be a better, more pure hitter in the game right now. Simply put, Hanley Ramirez is an offensive juggernaut all by himself. Ramirez finished the week with a .289 AVG, five home runs, eight runs scored, seven RBI, and...

• MLB Status Check (4/25)

  What a week in baseball. Chase Utley is a one-man show, Ryan Howard kept the bench warm for his teammates, and Cliff Lee is pitching better than Johan Santana. This MLB Status Check will focus on three players from each category. They include categories of those performing at the expected level, those who aren't playing as well as they are capable of playing, and those that are playing great and are finally opening fantasy owners' eyes. These players deserve recognition for their play; whether...

• MLB Fantasy Minute - Week 3

  Week Three has come and gone, and we are starting to see the superstars emerge. Some are still mired in a funk (see huge first basemen, for example), but the true stars are pining for your All-Star vote as the date ballots are distributed fast approaches. 1. The NL East is stacked with fantasy studs . We all knew this was going to be a strong division, but the NL East is really making a statement this year. The division brags top fantasy stars from all aspects: hitting, starting pitching, and relief...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Shortstops

  It was a bit of a slow week for shortstops, which garnered plenty of hits but did not produce a lot of runs. It does not help that starting shortstops such as Jimmy Rollins and Stephen Drew were hit with injuries in the early going. However, a lot of shortstops hit well, so there is a good chance that your starting shortstop did not hurt your roster. The top three for Week 2: Gold Hanley Ramirez ( Florida Marlins) : Ramirez is looking every bit the top three fantasy selection he was in virtually...

• 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 Top Weekly Performances - Short Stops

  The top shortstops are proving why they are the best, as they have already vaulted their way to the top of the list at their position. That is, at least the NL shortstops. Two shortstops are off to a scalding start, the rest have shown signs that shortstops will be a productive lot this season. The top three: Gold Jeff Keppinger (Cincinnati Reds) : Keppinger vaulted himself to the top of this list with a terrific performance on Sunday, going 3-4 with a 2B, HR, and 3 RBIs. Keppinger finished the week... Posted Apr 07 2008, 07:26 PM by paChiefsFan with | with no comments Filed under: Yunel Escobar, MLB Top SS Performances, Hanley Ramirez, Jeff Keppinger
