There are several ways for a fantasy baseball manager to find bargains in a draft or auction. The first one is to target the younger players that have yet to prove themselves as fantasy assets at the major league level. 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 [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
Troy Tulowitzki has gone from “Superstar shortstop-to be,” to “King of the slow start,” to “Who the heck cares about the slow start?” in two quick years. One season removed from his turbulent 2008 campaign, Tulo broke out. He played in over 150 games, which may have been the most important news considering [...]
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 [...]
Season-ending, head-scratching is part of the fun of fantasy baseball. So many 2009 owners spent an arm and leg to make sure they had a top-notch shortstop. When all was said and done, how many asked themselves, “Why didn’t I get Jason Bartlett and spend my Hanley Ramirez-money elsewhere?” In case you [...]
How much David Wright will rebound in 2010 is a question that a large percentage of fantasy GMs are going to answer for themselves this off-season. Last year at this time, Wright was coming off of a 30-30 campaign. His value had never been higher as a fantasy commodity. In 2009 drafts, he was an [...]
