• 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 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 Top Weekly Performances - Catchers

  Week in and week out it seems the same names appear when it comes to the catcher position. There are only a handful of "elite" catchers in the league this season, and it may even be a stretch to call them elite. They are solid, yes, but they are not in the same categories as Jorge Posada and Victor Martinez of the previous years. However, it seems like the catchers this season are of a new breed. There is some power, there is the ability to drive in some runs, but the average is what sets...

• 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 - 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 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 Weekly Sleepers - Week 12

  Looking for some fill-in players? Here are a handful of sleepers that are picking it up as of lately and need some attention. This week's sleepers cover most positions and should fulfill your needs. Good Luck out on the field! Luke Scott (Baltimore - OF) - Luke Scott isn't just a sleeper, but he was a top performer this past week and he is showing signs of waking up big time. Last week he went 8 for 18 with seven runs, four home runs, five RBIs and batted .444 against Boston and Toronto....

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – Center Fielders

  This week's crop of centerfielders is definitely an odd bunch. Grady Sizemore is the best of the bunch, naturally, but the others are quite a surprise. There are many solid fantasy centerfielders in the league, however, the other two on this list aren't exactly the first two that come to mind when you name productive centerfielders. Each of them has opened eyes this week and had fantastic weeks, whether it's Taveras stealing eight bases or Milledge hitting for power and average. Each...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Catchers

  The top catchers this week aren't exactly what you'd expect. There is no Soto, McCann, Martin, Mauer, etc. This week there is Doumit, Shoppach, and Flores. They are like Bizzaro compared to Superman. Sure they produced like the original, or in this case the originals, but there is just something different about them; something bizarre. They aren't exactly sexy names, like the elite catchers, but they performed miles ahead of any of the others. After the performances that they were able...

• MLB Buy 'n Sell (6/8)

  Buying and selling players can get very frustrating. Sometimes all the stats show that a player will have a good week, but then they do the opposite. Then other stats will show that a player is primed to have a bad week, yet he winds up having his best week of the season. Trying to guess how players will do is unscientific and unpredictable, but it sure is fun. This installment of MLB Buy ‘n Sell features six players who may be wise to move this week. Three of them are at their highest value of the... Posted Jun 08 2008, 11:58 PM by BillyS with | with no comments Filed under: Cincinnati Reds, Joakim Soria, Johnny Cueto, C.C.

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – First Basemen

  This week seems to be the comeback week for fantasy first basemen. Ryan Garko was once considered a legit fantasy performer, but he seemed to get lost in Travis Hafner's shadow. Then Jason Giambi began to grow a mustache and started to channel Samson himself. To follow it off the fantasy cowboy that is Kevin Millar sneaked onto the list and hit some long balls of his own; once again making him a fantasy somebody. These three players put together some truly impressive stats this week and deserve...
