• MLB Status Check (7/24)

  We haven't seen a week like this in quite a long time. It is, in my opinion, the perfect week for some fantasy owners. Some players are playing their hearts out while others looks fizzled out and are in prolonged slumps. Of course if you own a player in a slump then you aren't happy, but if you own one of the players that are on fire then you're dancing for joy, especially if your opponent has one or more of the mentioned slumping players. Things don't stop at that though. There are...

• MLB Fantasy Minute - Week 16

  In this abbreviated edition of the Fantasy Minute (because of the All-Star break), we look at Josh Hamilton, the Mets and the power of C.C.: 1. Keep an eye on Josh Hamilton. Yes, Hamilton has been terrific all season. And yes, Hamilton, right now, is the centerpiece of the Rangers' offense. But is he nearly as good as the hype during the All-Star break? Home Run Derbies have a way of extolling players with ever-fleeting love and affection, but what happened to Hamilton was off the charts. 28...

• 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 Top Weekly Performances – Center Fielders

  It has been getting really difficult to weed out the true centerfielders from the rest of the crop. There are many players who are eligible for the centerfield position, but this article deals with the ones who primarily play centerfield since there are other articles covering those at other positions. This week's batch of centerfielders were pretty impressive, but fantasy owners are also used to seeing their names because each one is a household fantasy name. Some of the numbers that these players...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Starting Pitchers

  Pitching is the backbone of fantasy baseball. It is important to have a great starter with a good supporting cast because there are quite a few pitching categories that can easily be dominated with the right set of pitchers. This week is a great example of balance. Included in this installment is a very highly ranked pitcher, a middle of the road ranked pitcher, and then a pitcher who was horrible early on, but his value has increased to the point where he's worth a pickup. If you owned at least...

• 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 Top Weekly Performances – Center Fielders

  There are a handful of elite centerfielders in the league. This week fantasy owners were lucky enough to have three of the elite centerfielders all perform well at the same time. There are more than three elite ones in the league, but the three listed in this feature are some of the ones with better stories this season. Each of the players deserve praise for their fantastic weeks, especially Josh Hamilton because of how amazing his season has been this year. It's always great to see top ranked...

• 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 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

  The centerfield position was very strong this week. It wasn't exactly the players you would have expected, save for Beltran since he's been hot lately, but the others were extremely solid this week and helped several fantasy owners. It's great to see more examples of five tool players this week. Beltran has been one of the best in the game for the last few years, but now all of a sudden a player like Coco Crisp showcases power and speed. Sadly, I don't believe Willy Taveres is going...

• MLB Status Check (6/19)

  There are several big names included in this week's MLB Status Check. However, the big names come as both a blessing and a curse for some owners. There were many big named players who put up great numbers, but there were also some well-known players who had absolutely horrible weeks. However, there is a bright side this week as well; namely Andy Pettitte. This article consists of three topics, each containing three players that fall into said category. Some players lived up to their draft status...

• MLB Buy 'n Sell (6/15)

  There have been some explosions, implosions, and hairline corrosion after this week in fantasy baseball. Some players, such as Mark Reynolds, exploded and put up some amazing numbers. However, some players (I'm looking at you Billy Wagner) completely imploded this week. That leaves us with the hairline corrosion aspect, which I mainly used because it was the only word I could think of that rhymed with the other two. Either way, there were definitely some surprises in store this week. As stated...

• MLB Trade 'Em - Week 11

  Here are a couple players to look into trading this week; their value is high or decent and you should be able to turn your team around a little bit with their help on the trading block. Justin Upton (Ari - OF) - Upton's fantasy value has been very high lately. He has the potential to finish in the top 20, and maybe even 10, outfields by season's end. He will be a serious talent in the coming years, but right now, he is a gem that just needs polishing. Justin was awesome in April, then slumped...
