• MLB Status Check - Week 21

  There have been many disappointments in fantasy baseball this year. However, there have also been many surprises that have helped save many owners' seasons. Three such surprises are in this article and could have been had by anyone off the waiver wire this year. As stated earlier, there have also been many disappointments, and one of the bigger names in category would be Derek Jeter. He had a sub-Jeter like year and hadn't exactly been helping fantasy owners (or the Yankees) too much. Until...

• 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 Waiver Wire - Week 19

  Injuries are a huge part of teams not getting far as they should, but sometimes even the healthy players can hit the wall and hold the team back. Trades aren't always the answer to everything because they're expensive and usually made when an owner is desperate. Therefore if you were to trade and you were doing it out of desperation, sadly, you'd most likely wind up getting ripped off. That is why the waiver wire is such an important tool in fantasy baseball. There are players in there...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – Center Fielders

  This has been a great week for centerfielders. Not just those eligible for the centerfield position, I mean actual centerfielders. The three that made this list roam the middle of the outfield, plus they put up solid numbers. All three of these players are ones that are player better than the expectations that owners placed on them prior to the season. They're playing hard and putting up fantastic numbers. Hopefully they can keep it up because these three players are helping owners win. Gold...

• 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 Top Weekly Performances – First Basemen

  Once again the first base position is the position of dominance in the fantasy world this week. The player leading the charge should look familiar to every single owner. It's not everyday that a player who strikes out so often and has such a poor season average leads MLB in HR and the NL in RBI. That's Ryan Howard for you. Joining him are some players who have been solid, but all of a sudden they found an extra gear and are tearing fantasy baseball apart. Each player deserves recognition...

• 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.

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – First Basemen

  Homeruns are perhaps the most exciting stat in baseball. Fans love watching players drive the ball and rack up RBI. When fantasy owners think of the first base position they will usually think of a handful of players, namely two or three big named players. This week's Top 1B Performances just so happens to include two of the three big names; Ryan Howard and Albert Pujols. This list also includes a player that many wouldn't have expected, mainly because he's only been playing first base...

• MLB Status Check (6/26)

  It's always surprising how sometimes a very talented player can be a liability because of inconsistency. It's also surprising how sometimes a great player can try to keep his career going later in his age, only to be a shell of his former self, while another player can resurrect his career and put up numbers that he hasn't even seen for a while. That's the kind of week that this was. There are the usual players that you would expect to do well, but then there are also those that didn't...

• MLB Buy 'n Sell (6/22)

  This week definitely held a few surprises in terms of the value of players. There were some complete surprises in terms of those that should be sold high and those that should be invested in. In fact, it was a little odd that some of those with the highest values aren't exactly elite fantasy members anymore. On the other side of the spectrum there are players who have been either just alright this season, pretty bad, or incredible. There really is no bias. Honestly, who would have thought that...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – First Basemen

  It is sometimes hard to find the best fantasy first basemen every week for this article, not because players don't produce well, but because this article focuses around pure first basemen. In other words, it is made for those that play only first place and aren't versatile playing the position once every now and then. This week there were some great "pure" first basemen. In fact, the top two are some of the best power hitters in the entire game. The third member of this list isn't...

• 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 Top Weekly Performances – First Basemen

  When it comes to sports of any kind there is always one phrase that corresponds to what fans think of players - "What have they done for me now." It isn't about what they did last year, last month, or last week. Sports, especially fantasy sports, are about what is going on in the present. It just so happens that this week's top first basemen fit in well with that saying. Miggy Cabrera got a huge contract, but he didn't do anything for the Tigers to show that he really deserved...

• 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 - Starting Pitchers

  There are some surprising performances this past week from starting pitchers. Many pitchers skipped through the week while maintaining a perfect ERA and five pitchers earned two wins. Here are three of the two game winners; one of whom held a perfect ERA also. Gold Jonathan Sanchez (SF - SP, RP) - Two games, 14 innings, two wins, 12 strikeouts, only two runs, five walks while having a 1.29 ERA and 1.07 WHIP. Those are Jonathan Sanchez numbers from last week. He is doing fantastic on the season, especially...
