2010 Fantasy Baseball Tiers: Outfield

Written on January 14, 2010 – 3:00 pm | by Keith Giordano |

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 [...]

2010 Fantasy Baseball Tiers: Shortstop

Written on January 13, 2010 – 12:19 pm | by Keith Giordano |

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 [...]

Overrated Fantasy Baseball Hitters: 2010

Written on January 12, 2010 – 6:17 pm | by Keith Giordano |

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 [...]

2010 Fantasy Baseball Tiers: Third Base

Written on January 9, 2010 – 11:29 am | by Keith Giordano |

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 [...]

Fantasy Baseball Addiction Player Profile: Ben Zobrist

Written on January 8, 2010 – 3:39 pm | by Keith Giordano |

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 [...]

2010 Fantasy Baseball Tiers: Second Base

Written on January 6, 2010 – 6:39 pm | by Keith Giordano |

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 [...]

2010 Fantasy Baseball Tiers: First Base

Written on January 6, 2010 – 3:30 pm | by Keith Giordano |

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 [...]

Fantasy Baseball Addiction Player Profile: Javier Vazquez

Written on December 11, 2009 – 1:44 pm | by Keith Giordano |

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 [...]

Check back here throughout the day as new items will be posted as news develops
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 [...]
