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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Stats are weird. They can give you insight to how much potential a player has. However, a little information can be a dangerous thing. It is easy to look at a player that had a good season and develop an man-crush to the point where you ignore warning signs. Signs such as striking out too [...]
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 [...]
