Scott Baker, Jered Weaver, Jorge De La Rosa, Gavin Floyd, John Lester, Tim Lincecum. What does a two time Cy Young award pitcher have in common with all of these other late round (except Lester) pitchers? He’s a pitcher that is primed to break out in the 2010 season. Breakout, you say? I say the best has yet to come [...]
Every fantasy baseball keeper league team has two types of keepers. There are those that are no brainers: studs that are just too valuable to drop. Then there are the bubble players: those players who are good and have upside, but the price has to be right in order to protect them. Depending on your [...]
Aramis Ramirez has been listed near the top of most fantasy baseball rankings at third base for years. While he has never been at the top of the list, his abilities have justified taking him in fantasy baseball drafts after the elite options are gone. While this may change for the 2010 season, do not [...]
Hello my fellow fantasy baseball geeks! The day we have been waiting for is here! The Fantasy Baseball Guide: 2010 Professional Edition has arrived in a store near you. This fantasy baseball magazine is what I consider the best one published. With authors such as Peter Kreutzer (aka Rotoman), Rob Blackstien, Lawr Michaels, Todd Zola, [...]
Most fantasy baseball leagues start 9 pitchers, with the most common breakdowns being 6 or 7 starters, with 2-3 relievers. Most fantasy baseball leagues start a total of 15-16 hitters. In most leagues, pitching and hitting are weighted equally. That means that each individual pitcher slot counts for more points than your hitting slots. So [...]
The outfield is full of talent, and the upside lasts deep into the tiers. With perhaps some of the best players that blend power and speed, you can make up some ground here if your infield is weak. Don’t feel like you HAVE to get 4 great ones early though, because there will be good [...]
Shortstop is not as thin as it used to be. When I started playing fantasy baseball there were about 3 or 4 actually useful shortstops that were worth paying more than a couple of dollars for. For 2010 that list is more than doubled. Second base appears much thinner than shortstop this season, and you [...]
Every season there are players who go completely bananacakes. They have crazy-great stats and their value shoots through the roof. Of course, as their value goes up, their price goes up. Whether that price is reflected in, the price a player goes for in your fantasy auction, an earlier pick in your fantasy draft, or [...]
The “game” of putting together a fantasy champion involves smart projections, wise use of your money, and a little bit of luck (like avoiding this year’s Jose Reyes). Luck is mainly up to the baseball gods and we’ve been giving you fantasy baseball projections all off-season, so now it’s time to look at that [...]
The 2009 National League Rookie of the Year did not really put up the fantasy production we have come to expect from the winner of that distinguished award. Chris Coghlan certainly had a fine season. However, just because he won Rookie of the Year, doesn’t justify paying overpaying for him in your fantasy baseball auction. [...]
