Fantasy Players to watch: San Diego Padres Edition
Maybe this is why I have trouble getting into fantasy baseball. Fantasy football, I usually homer out and end up grabbing a Charger or two, but in the last 8-10 years, who could blame me? That's a decade of solid fantasy production in Tomlinson, Brees, Rivers, Gates, VJ, Charger D, etc. Fantasy...
The 1994 Rotisserie League Baseball Official Rule Book and Draft-Day Guide
A year ago ago, I came across a curious find in my in-laws' house: The 1994 Rotisserie League Baseball Official Rule Book and Draft-Day Guide. My in-laws are not huge sports fans, so finding this in their possession was an oddity in and of itself. But beside that, this book provides an interesting...
Saltalamacchia and Varitek: Best Catcher(s) in Baseball? The Answer May Surprise You.
In the world of fantasy baseball, no position is more vexing than catcher. Brian McCann, whose numbers would be impressive at any position, and Victor Martinez, an everyday DH who hits between a pair of All-Stars in Miguel Cabrera and Jhonny Peralta, are head and shoulders above everyone else. With...
Slump or Dump: Derek Jeter
Admit it, Derek Jeter fantasy owner. Every time the Yankee captain has a big game (of which there have been two this season), a little part of you thinks, "he's back!". Then, during the next three days, Jeter goes 3-11 with three singles while scoring a run or two. Maybe he is back. Maybe, after...
Fantasy Baseball Midday Cup-O-Links: I Love Wily Mo Pena
Fantasy Baseball Wily Mo Pena has such an awesome name. He's also probably a good pickup in deeper leagues. His AAA mashing might have been coming in the PCL, but he was still mashing. He continued it yesterday. I've mentioned several times that this is the first year I ever tackled a league deeper...
Fantasy Baseball Midday Cup-O-Links: Should Have Drafted Adrian Gonzalez
Fantasy Baseball We've already had two posts today mention Albert Pujols' wrist injury, but both were before news of his 4-6 week DL stint hit the wire. The corner infield post pretty much covers possible replacements, but The Fantasy Fix has some suggestions as well. Albert Pujols might not even...
Fantasy Baseball Friday Happy Hour Shot-O-Links: All Those Prospects Picked Up Yet?
Fantasy Baseball I have two halves of posts to kick this link compilation off: a Rotographs article that's bearish on Matt Joyce, and The Hardball Times' AL waiver wire post. Yes, there is an article that argues for Matt Joyce and I imagine there will be an NL waiver wire post up at THT soon...
Fantasy Baseball Midday Cup-O-Links: Odd Year Josh Beckett Needs To Be A Meme
Fantasy Baseball Last night's start was arguably the best of Josh Beckett's Red Sox career, certainly good enough to garner COSFBA Line of the Day honors. I want to see a Twitter hashtag #oddyearbeckett. Maybe Josh Beckett is only good at Call of Duty games release on odd years. Maybe he only likes...
Fantasy Baseball Midday Cup-O-Links: Pitching To Whiffs
Fantasy BaseballI sometimes make these link posts more personal than I should, but I had a trade go through the day before Tommy Hanson's 14 strikeout, COSFBA Line of the Day-worthy start. Only the other guy was the one getting Tommy Hanson. I also missed a Chase Utley home run and great Max...
Fantasy Baseball Friday Happy Hour Shot-O-Links: Jonny Venters Droppers Anonymous
Fantasy Baseball JVDA: that's pretty close to the title of that Jean-Claude Van Damme movie. But really, I'm still hurting from dropping the best reliever in baseball a couple of months ago. Instead I kept Aroldis Chapman because hey, did you see his xFIP and K/9 last year? Dude throws 105 mph! And...
