• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Third Basemen

  Things have quieted down a bit for third basemen as the season winds down, but they are still looked upon as a major component of the playoff-chasing team, both fantasy and real-life. Some nice stories constitute the top three third basemen of this week, with the gold medal winner being a particularly unlikely award recipient: Gold Jorge Cantu (Florida Marlins) - Cantu has been one of the nice comeback stories of the season. After showing so much promise a few seasons ago, Cantu regressed badly,...

• MLB Busts of the Week - Week 23

  This is it. The time is at hand for owners to reap the rewards of a championship. However, before that happens owners will need their so called better players to step up and produce like top players. Lately it seems like that hasn’t been the case and more and more top players are putting up horrible, and hurtful, stats at the worst time imaginable. This is the absolute worst time for players to go into slumps, at least from a fantasy perspective. Some owners are on the verge of a championship, but...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Third Basemen

  Since we are handing out medals, why not compare our top-performing third basemen this week to Olympic performers? Each third baseman has a similarity to an Olympic performer from the 2008 games, so let's see who they are, then who they compare to: Gold Marco Scutaro (Toronto Blue Jays) : Call him the Japanese women's softball of fantasy players, since he was an improbable gold medal winner. In fairness, perhaps it wasn't so improbable, since he does have 49 RBI on the year, but then...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Third Basemen

  The Americans have been good at getting two medalists at the same time for certain events at the Olympics, so why shouldn't baseball get into the same spirit? It is only appropriate that Baltimore, from where Michael Phelps hails, had two of their hitters receive medals at the same time from the same position: Gold Melvin Mora (Baltimore Orioles) : Mora has been one of the hottest players in the league in August, and certainly the whispers that Mora was in steep decline have faded considerably...

• MLB Stock Market - July 24th Edition

  The post-All Star Stock Market gets underway with some big names making a "charge" as Bulls, while even bigger names come roaring back to earth as Bears: Bulls Nomar Garciaparra - SS/3B/1B - (Los Angeles Dodgers) : This looks familiar. In his last 14 games, Nomar Garciaparra is batting .333 with three HR, 10 RBI, and a .644 SLG. Of course, the strange thing is that this is 2008, not 1999. Garciaparra has found the fountain of youth, and in a year where very few SS are making waves in the...

• MLB Status Check (6/26)

  It's always surprising how sometimes a very talented player can be a liability because of inconsistency. It's also surprising how sometimes a great player can try to keep his career going later in his age, only to be a shell of his former self, while another player can resurrect his career and put up numbers that he hasn't even seen for a while. That's the kind of week that this was. There are the usual players that you would expect to do well, but then there are also those that didn't...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Third Basemen

  It was a big week for third basemen, as they showed off their power in a big way, not necessarily in quantity, but rather in the quality of their power (meaning the clutch factor). Only one surprising name on this week's list, though he couldn't beat out the man who is always expected to be at the top of any list: Gold Alex Rodriguez (New York Yankees) : A-Rod did it all: he hit for average (.375). He hit for power (two HR). He drove in big runs (total of four RBI). He scored big runs (four...

• (Published) Fantasy Baseball Top Fives: Left-Side Infielders

  Last week, in honor of fans vigorously filling out their All-Star ballots, we decided to look at our ballots for the non-existent Fantasy All-Star Game, starting with the pitchers. As such, we will examine the top five players at each position thus far and why they are there. However, you will also see why certain players did not make the top five, plus a look at players who could crack the list by season's end. These lists should assist you in trade talks, whether you have a player on the list...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Third Basemen

  Third basemen continue to hit well as the season ends its first month, though this week sees some new faces enter the mix. Third base is clearly the power position this year, so if you're not hitting at least three homers in a given week, you better be hitting .500 to make this list: Gold Aramix Ramirez (Chicago Cubs) : The Cubs have been waiting for Ramirez to wake up, and he picked a good week to do it. Ramirez was absolutely scorching, finishing the week with a .375 AVG, three home runs, and...
