While it is true that not all of the free agents have signed, most bullpen situations are settled enough for us to start examining closers and set-up men. Keep in mind that Jose Valverde has not signed with a team yet. This posting will be updated as needed, click here.

BABIP. I was looking online everywhere for this list. I couldn’t find it. So I did the next best thing, I created the spreadsheet, so you don’t have to. This can be a useful statistic for fantasy baseball GMs. The following article does not contain any analysis of the numbers. I am posting it so [...]
Troy Tulowitzki has gone from “Superstar shortstop-to be,” to “King of the slow start,” to “Who the heck cares about the slow start?” in two quick years. One season removed from his turbulent 2008 campaign, Tulo broke out. He played in over 150 games, which may have been the most important news considering [...]

Aroldis Chapman Throws Bullpen Session
Go figure. A 21-year-old, left-handed, Cuban-born, flamethrower drew attention from 15 teams as he threw a bullpen session. While Aroldis [...]
At 736 innings pitched, Cole Hamels is a veteran. This means that he, barring injury, can be reasonably predictable. Over the course of his career, Hamels has shown he can be expected to hover near a K/BB ratio of 4:1. His ERA is middle of the pack, and his WHIP (while consistently above average), can [...]
If you are looking to find power, a good place to start is HR. Once you realize that every other fantasy baseball GM out there is looking at that too, then it is time to get a little more serious. Looking at who lead the league in home runs is great, but unless you account [...]
In the last off-season, Javier Vazquez went to the Atlanta Braves. At the time, I was optimistic that the move would be good for the hurler. Not only did I think it would be good for him, but I thought it would be good for me since after several mediocre seasons his price would be [...]

The Rockies have signed Chris Iannetta to a three-year deal. Iannetta was the big 2008 breakout catcher, but his 2009 was a step backward. Hopefully the thin air will get back under some of those fly balls and he can regain [...]
Season-ending, head-scratching is part of the fun of fantasy baseball. So many 2009 owners spent an arm and leg to make sure they had a top-notch shortstop. When all was said and done, how many asked themselves, “Why didn’t I get Jason Bartlett and spend my Hanley Ramirez-money elsewhere?” In case you [...]
Stats are weird. They can give you insight to how much potential a player has. However, a little information can be a dangerous thing. It is easy to look at a player that had a good season and develop an man-crush to the point where you ignore warning signs. Signs such as striking out too [...]
