As we inch closer and closer to Spring Training (only 18 days left!!!), there’s still plenty of offseason activity. For the most part, the bulk of the news involves teams negotiating with their players to avoid the ugliness of an arbitration hearing, but there are still a number of MLB free agents out there [...]
Time to wrap up the 2010 Fantasy Baseball Position Tiers and what better way to finish it off than with our 9th inning firemen. Now, as I’ve said before, there are usually two schools of thought when it comes to closers and relief pitchers: 1. Get yourself atleast one high end closer and another [...]
While RotoBuzz is normally a fantasy baseball site, every now and again, something happens in the baseball world that compels me to deviate from the usual content and discuss real baseball happenings that have nothing to do with the fantasy aspect. Today is one of those days. When the Oakland A’s signed Ben Sheets to a [...]
Ah, starting pitching. While it’s always important to build yourself a solid pitching staff, we all know that it’s offense that really wins you the fantasy baseball leagues. Because starting pitching is always the deepest position out there (think about it…30 teams with 5 man rotations, not counting injury replacements and call-ups?) it’s easy to [...]
I’m going to interrupt the 2010 Fantasy Baseball Position Tiers for a moment to discuss a couple of changes at RotoBuzz.com that you’ll see over the next two weeks. But before I do, I just want to take a quick moment to thank all of you that have been loyal followers of the site [...]
It finally looks like the outfield has returned to being one of the deepest positions in fantasy baseball. In years past, we’ve had so many former infielders moving into the outfield but had fantasy owners drafting them at their former positions. The results made things tough in fantasy baseball leagues, particularly ones that require you to draft 5 to [...]
Just as I’ve said in years past, I am not a big fan of drafting DHs unless your fantasy league allows them to be used at their former position or if you have multiple utility spots available on your active roster. I just don’t like the way it restricts the roster moves you can [...]
Ah, yes. Thin as always. Just as it’s been in year’s past, once you get past the top 5 shortstops in the game, the fantasy pick’ns get pretty slim, pretty quick. While guys in the first two tiers are incredibly enticing, don’t worry if you don’t land one of them right away in your [...]
What was once a position teeming with power hitting talent, third base is now becoming average, at best, when it comes to depth. In fact, in 2008, there were 19 fantasy third basemen that hit 20 or more HR (12 with 25+) for the season while in 2009, there were only 11 to hit [...]
The growth of the second baseman position for fantasy baseball leagues has been fun to watch over the last few years. It wasn’t until 2007 when we finally saw more than 2 guys hit 20+ HR, and now in 2009, we have 4 hitting 30+. Each year we see more and more emerging fantasy stars at [...]
