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. His secondary numbers from 2009 were not that different from his career norms, though his K/9 rate [...]
Spring training is there for a reason. There are questions that managers need to answer that only an up close and personal evaluation of the talent in front of them can answer. The same can be said about fantasy baseball GMs. We need information. For all of the prognosticating that so-called fantasy baseball experts (like [...]
A few player notes on the latest happenings in the world of fantasy baseball….

You would be surprised what players certain sources call “sleepers” in their fantasy baseball draft preparation.

Everyone wants to find the next big thing. Winning your fantasy baseball league is great. Winning your fantasy league and finding the next fantasy baseball stud is awesome. Keeper league members are especially excited about drafting a breakout player for a bargain price (THAT is sweeeeeet). However, when you are preparing for your fantasy draft, [...]
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.
