So I’ve returned from across the pond, and just in time as baseball “officially” got under way early this morning as the Red Sox handed the A’s a little extra inning loss. Lots to see there also as Manny got his contract year off to a nice start, Brandon Moss puts J.D.Drew on the hot [...]
Top Tier “ Die Hard” - Nathan, F.Rodriguez, Pappelbon, Putz. These guys are so good, that they could come through and save the day even if they had to pitch bare-footed on broken glass with German thieves shooting at them. They have ice in their veins and are the best firemen out there. All four should [...]
Well we are halfway home. Hitters are done (except for DH which I’ll do after pitchers). While most GMs are eager to spend money on the stud hitters of the day, only the true top starters command even close to the same prices. Less reliable, less consistent, more injury-prone, and a shorter shelf-life keep their [...]
Flush with talent, the outfield is an easy place to find a good player. Even late in the auction or draft, there is plenty of upside for the educated GM. Let’s just jump right in.
Top Tier “Superfly” - Crawford, Holliday, Ichiro, Soriano, Beltran, Sizemore. There has been quite a bit of juggling in the top tier [...]
This position is as thin as it is physically demanding. They get beat on every day, will ruin their knees, and are the primary reason that the cup was invented. Each and every one of them is one foul tip away from a broken finger. They are one extra long follow-through away from a concussion. They are [...]
In a bunch of the magazines I have invested my money, time, and brainpower to look over, I have seen a couple of nice features. One of which picked one player from each league that would rise to the top in certain categories such as breakout, fluke, comeback etc.. So what better way to entertain myself [...]
It’s a deep player pool with upside at third base. Visions of stud players at both corners dance around in the minds of every GM. This is by far the easiest place in the infield to lay back and wait on drafting players. But beware! If you wait, and pick poorly, you could find yourself at [...]
On the closer frontier it looks like B.J. Ryan is on track to open the season on the active roster. He is a little risky, and sure to be rusty, but over the course of the year he should be a solid investment. C.J. Wilson is hoping to return to game action over the weekend [...]
Traditionally, this is the 2nd thinnest position in fantasy baseball behind catcher. While the former model of slick-glove-no-bat players still exists, there is by far more fantasy upside here than in years passed. Due to this position scarcity, the obvious inflation of value occurs with players that are good not only when compared to other [...]
Every fantasy geek has had the following happen to them. As a dilligent GM, your research requires you study all player stats from the previous year. In that research you find a player that put up great stats the previous season, and matches your team’s needs perfectly. So of course you draft that player believing him to [...]
