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. [...]
There is a lot of good production available for your 2010 fantasy baseball team at third base. The second tier is especially deep, with upside type players lasting all the way into the fourth tier. If you can get one of the top options, you should be happy, but there are cheaper options available later [...]
Every season there are players that step forward to have huge years, seemingly out of nowhere. When we form our game-plan in the pre-season, we have to decide whether or not we believe that they can produce similar results again. Just ask those people who paid a ton in 2009 for Ryan Ludwick or Carlos [...]
Second base seems to be the thinest position for the 2010 season. As someone who has no players to protect at second base in one of my keeper leagues, it is a little scary to look at the options that are going to be available. One of the most complex equations that fantasy GMs have [...]
First base is known for being among the deepest positions in fantasy baseball. It is a nice place to find a stud that will hit you 40 HR and drive in over 100 runs. However, it is also a great place to find a younger, low-profile slugger. If you scout it right, you end up [...]
Dividing fantasy baseball players up into tiers is a useful way to gauge relative value. If you miss out on a player you like, tiers can show you other options at the position that will help your team with similar levels of production. If you can find an option in the same tier that turns [...]
