Wrapping Up April: Fantasy Highs and Lows Part 2

Sure it’s Cinco de Mayo right now, but I’m not done talking about what we saw in the first month of baseball just yet.  In Part 1, I went through the hitters and the starting pitchers — who’s been standing out and who’s been hiding in the shadows.  This time around, I’d like to discuss certain things [...]

Bumps and Bruises

Well, the big one here today is Yankees DH Jason Giambi.  Told yesterday that he was going to miss atleast three weeks with his foot issues, reports out of the Big Apple this morning say that he could actually miss the rest of the season.  He was supposed to have a cortisone shot this morning, [...]

Bumps and Bruises

Just to make sure you’re fully updated on who’s getting banged up and who could be filling in, if necessary, here’s a look at some of the latest injuries that could be affecting your team. If you’re in a league with daily lineup changes, you want to make sure you take notice…
John Smoltz, SP [...]

Shipped Out

There have been quite a few moves in the past couple of days that are shaking up some of the owners in your league. Maybe they’re shaking you up a bit. Players are being sent down to the minors and sending fantasy owners running for the scrap heap. If you’ve been able [...]

OUCH!!!

It is my unfortunate duty to inform the masses of fantasy GMs out there that Chris Carpenterwill miss the next three months following surgery on his elbow.  This is a crushing blow to teams around the country.  Be kind to the GMs that just lost this premier player.  I actually know one owner who traded [...]

Myers’ Time?

Well, here’s one for you Brett Myers owners…and a little distressing news for you Tom Gordon owners…
It seems that Gordon is back in Philly today after experiencing pain in his right shoulder again, and it looks like my earlier report of Myers taking over the closers’ role is coming to fruition. Let’s hope all [...]

Yet Another Closer Down!!!

I’m not gonna lie to you…
This one could hurt a little.
Put Blue Jays closer B.J. Ryan on the list….the disabled list that is. Toronto put their prized closer on the DL today with, what they’re calling an “elbow injury”. Hmmm. Pretty vague. What’s not vague is that Ryan is on his [...]

Bumps and Bruises

Short slate of games today (Thursdays really bum me out), but there are some injuries and things to keep your eye on for fantasy purposes. Here’s a few…
Troy Glaus, 3B TOR — Sore left hell, missing time, will be examined on Friday. The Jays are hoping for the best, but the rumor mill [...]

Bumps and Bruises

There’s nothing worse than watching your guys getting dinged up this eary into the season. A muscle pull here, a tweaked hammy there, it’s never fun. Now while haven’t seen the (knock wood) big ol’ nasty fantasy crippling injury just yet, there are still a few bumps and bruises out there that you [...]

Bumps and Bruises

Let’s take a quick look at some of the key first week injuries and what you may need to do to prevent falling into an early season hole…
Hideki Matsui will be out for 4 or 5 games with a strained hamstring and Johnny Damon is just coming back from a calf problem. I hope [...]
