• MLB Busts of the Week - Week 22

  The most hurtful thing to fantasy owners are injuries. The second most hurtful thing is inconsistency. This week there was a little bit of both. Jimmy Rollins opened his mouth, again, and basically bashed the Phillies fans. Not a smart thing to do. It seems to have definitely effected him because he's been in a horrible slump. As for the injuries part, look no further than John Maine. He's trying to pitch through a bone spur, but things don't look good. As for the rest, that is inconsistency...

• MLB Waiver Wire - Week 21

  It really is fun to take the risk and pick players off of waivers every now and then. You never know when you'll wind up finding a diamond in the rough. Chances are that it's a bit late in the season to find a diamond, but there's always a chance at finding a lesser valuable precious stone. Picking up players off of waivers is a tool that is used for finding low key players that can have a big impact on a fantasy team. This installment of MLB Waiver Wire consists of five players that...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – Center Fielders

  Centerfield has been a very exciting position for fantasy baseball this week. There are no real superstars in this article, but there are some great all around players. Some of them have struggled, another is mainly a one stat wonder, but there is one player in here that doesn't get much recognition and he deserves it. I'm talking, of course, about Matt Kemp. He's an extremely solid and productive player. Hopefully he gets more recognition after this. All three players deserve credit...

• MLB Busts of the Week - Week 19

  This week was pretty ugly to look at. There are some elite fantasy players on this week's installment of MLB Busts of the Week , and that is definitely not a good thing. These players were drafted early on at their respective positions because they bring stats that are what help owners compete on a daily basis while trying to make their way into the fantasy playoffs. This article includes six players that basically failed their assignments and hurt owners more than they helped. Each player is...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Second Basemen

  Second base is a very fun position to draft for in fantasy baseball. There are some guys who can hit for power and average; there are others who steal a lot of bases. However, the best part of that position is that you never know when someone is going to breakout because it seems like every single season there is a second baseman who joins the other terrific second basemen in terms of offensive production. Placido Polanco was like that last year when he broke out and put up great numbers. Jeff Kent...

• MLB Status Check - Week 19

  This has been an extremely exciting week for fantasy baseball. There were some insanely dominant performances this week. Some players were in dire need of turning the corner and this week they did just that. Some have been dominant since coming back or overcoming injuries. Others have been dominant after trades. However, there are some that just didn't do well in general. In fact, all three players who could be labeled ‘busts' this week were among the top producers at their level. This version...

• MLB Status Check - Week 18

  What a week! There have been some extremely big names in the spotlight this week. It seemed like there was an elite player in every category this week. This was especially exciting because some owners got big days from players they hoped to perform well, while other others were given absolutely horrible performances by their players. Then there are some players who have been playing well as of late who have helped owners out as well. This version of MLB Status Check contains three categories; lived...

• MLB Waiver Wire - Week 17

  Trying to find someone decent after the All-Star game? Picking someone up now is taking a chance and hoping you're picking right. Most of the quality players have been grabbed and people can see what to expect from the ones who are left, but with waiver wire, there is always someone stashed away you could use to help your team. You just have to find them and here is a little help. Nomar Garciaparra Los Angeles Dodgers - 3rd Owned: 25% Notes : Nomar is having a decent year, not quite what everyone...

• MLB Buy 'n Sell (7/20)

  The first few games in the second half of the season have been quite exciting. There are several players who have started to pick things up, but there have also been some players that have fallen. Owners should keep their eyes open and hopefully try to acquire the missing piece of a championship team before the trade deadline. This installment of the MLB Buy ‘n Sell consists of three players in each of the two categories. Those that are riding hot streaks are prime candidates to sell, while those...

• 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 Status Check (7/10)

  What a great week for baseball. This week was all about balance. Not only did the elite, top performers play well, but lesser known players also put up some huge numbers. This week's installment of MLB Status Check consists of three groups. Each group contains three players that fell into the categories. The categories are: lived up to the hype , failed to live up to the hype , and keep an eye on . The fact that so many players from opposite sides of the spectrum played well will definitely lead...

• MLB Busts of the Week - Week 14

  If there are top performances every week, there has to be busts of the weeks. It balances out the baseball universe. If one player does well, another does badly. If one player does awesome then, well, you end up with busts. Some are permanently attached to this list this year, others just try to come and go quickly. Manny Ramirez (Bos - OF) - Manny definitely has not been playing like himself lately. He struggled horribly last week, going 2 for 19 with a RBI and batted an awful .105. Ramirez had...

• 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 Top Weekly Performances - Starting Pitchers

  This past week's top performances feature one repeater and two you may have thought you wouldn't see up here this season. Andy Pettitte managed another two win week, C.C. Sabathia is fighting his way back and Chad Billingsley is trying to have a winning season. Gold Andy Pettitte (New York Yankees) : Andy pitched awesome last week. There is no other way to put it. He threw 12 innings, earned himself two wins, while striking out eight and holding a 1.50 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. Andy improved to...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Catchers

  This was a pretty tough week for fantasy catchers. There were some very solid numbers posted this week, but there weren't any real eye-popping numbers that some of these guys are capable of producing. It was a pretty quiet week for catchers, but there are a few who deserve recognition for being the best of the bunch, even if it is the best of a weak crop. There were some homeruns hit, some solid averages, but there seemed to be a lack of RBI this week. Either way, these guys were the best of...
