Brandon Webb (SP – ARI) – After looking good early in camp, it now looks like there is a chance Brandon Webb is not ready for the beginning of the season. This should scare off plenty of your competition from him altogether. However, keep tracking him. Right now, I rank [...]
Cole Hamels (SP – PHI) – Hamels is experimenting with at least one new pitch. After a disappointing 2009 where he not only put up lesser fantasy numbers, he drew criticism for his comments in the post season.

Players such as Matt LaPorta or Neftali Feliz would fall into this category. They could [...]

It is not so hard to see why Johnny Damon is having a hard time finding the contract he wants this off-season. On the surface, he looks like a player that teams would want. Sure, he is a winner. And yes, he did hit 24 home runs in 2009. However, the secondary numbers point to [...]
You would be surprised what players certain sources call “sleepers” in their fantasy baseball draft preparation. Players that every fantasy GM knows, former fantasy studs that had an off-season, or players that have already been hyped like “The Who” playing at the Super Bowl, are listed as sleepers (and many perform as poorly as The [...]
