• MLB Fantasy Minute - Week 27

  How quickly the year goes by. In actuality, the season isn't over, since the White Sox and the Twins do have one more regular season game to go, but for most fantasy purposes, the season is over. And what a season it was. Between . 1. The top pick in next year's draft should be... If you want an absolutely sure thing, take Albert Pujols, who apparently can hit like a superstar even if he has only one good arm. If you want someone who has a chance to put up legendary numbers, select Alex Rodriguez...

• MLB Fantasy Minute - Week 25

  This week we have a veritable potpourri of players who have fallen under the radar. We have hitters, we have pitchers, we have rookies, we have superstars, and we've got redemption stories. Then, we have our C.C. & Roy watch. What more could you ask for in a minute? 1. The fall of Edinson. The hottest name in fantasy sports in April and May was Edinson Volquez. Some questioned why Cincinnati would trade rising star Josh Hamilton for an unproven pitcher, but Volquez quickly quieted the critics...

• MLB Fantasy Minute - Week 24

  This week we have a veritable potpourri of players who have fallen under the radar. We have hitters, we have pitchers, we have rookies, we have superstars, and we've got redemption stories. Then, we have our C.C. & Roy watch. What more could you ask for in a minute? 1. Cuckoo for Coco Crisp? Oh yeah, he's been the target of my ire since his arrival in Boston. We knew he wasn't going to replace Johnny Damon offensively, and he has been great in Center Field, but the bat has just been...

  This week we have a veritable potpourri of players who have fallen under the radar. We have hitters, we have pitchers, we have rookies, we have superstars. And then, we have our C.C. & Roy watch. What more could you ask for in a minute? 1. Under the radar in Kansas City. Wait a minute, this heading looks familiar, doesn't it? Last week, we discussed how Joakim Soria has fallen under the radar despite having a fantastic year as one of the top closers in the league. Well, Billy Butler may not...

• MLB Fantasy Minute - Week 21

  This week we have a veritable potpourri of players who have fallen under the radar. We have hitters, we have pitchers, we have rookies, we have superstars. And then, we have our C.C. & Roy watch. What more could you ask for in a minute? 1. Holliday from fame. The Rockies have given a lot of fantasy owners a lot of heartache. Troy Tulowitzki was supposed to be the rising star in baseball and in fantasy leagues, but he was as bad a player as you could find early on, then went down with an injury...

• MLB Fantasy Minute - Week 20

  Fantasy playoff season is approaching, and owners are worried. What can they expect from the reliever-turned-starter for the rest of the season? What happened to the Uptons and the Youngs? Where did their Ranger go? At least one thing never seems to change: Roy Halladay or C.C. Sabathia will complete a game for you. Served fresh off the grill, your Fantasy Minute for the week: 1. Relievers can be starters, but can they last? There can be a lot of concern about whether a reliever can be converted...

• MLB Fantasy Minute - Week 16

  In this abbreviated edition of the Fantasy Minute (because of the All-Star break), we look at Josh Hamilton, the Mets and the power of C.C.: 1. Keep an eye on Josh Hamilton. Yes, Hamilton has been terrific all season. And yes, Hamilton, right now, is the centerpiece of the Rangers' offense. But is he nearly as good as the hype during the All-Star break? Home Run Derbies have a way of extolling players with ever-fleeting love and affection, but what happened to Hamilton was off the charts. 28...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Starting Pitchers

  Pitching is the backbone of fantasy baseball. It is important to have a great starter with a good supporting cast because there are quite a few pitching categories that can easily be dominated with the right set of pitchers. This week is a great example of balance. If you owned at least one of these three pitchers then you most likely wound up with quite a few pitching categories won, for those in head-to-head leagues. Each pitcher deserves recognition for their outstanding performances. Gold C.C... Posted Jul 20 2008, 05:39 PM by TommyD with | with no comments Filed under: Chad Billingsley, C.C.

• MLB Fantasy Minute - Week 15

  1. Slow but steady wins the race in pitching. That quote may not be completely accurate; after all, C.C. Sabathia and Justin Verlander were anything but steady at the beginning of the season. Remember the time when these two were sporting a 6.50 and 7.88 ERA, respectively, on April 30? My, how time heals those wounds. Both have slowly but surely established themselves once again as two of the top pitchers in the league. Sabathia has come the longest way, at one point sporting a 13.50 ERA (on April...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Starting Pitchers

  This past week's top performances feature one repeater and two you may have thought you wouldn't see up here this season. Andy Pettitte managed another two win week, C.C. Sabathia is fighting his way back and Chad Billingsley is trying to have a winning season. Gold Andy Pettitte (New York Yankees) : Andy pitched awesome last week. There is no other way to put it. He threw 12 innings, earned himself two wins, while striking out eight and holding a 1.50 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. Andy improved to...

• MLB Stock Market - June 12th Edition

  Two of the three Bulls got off to sensationally bad starts, but have admirably kept their chins up and now are reaping the rewards. The Bears, meanwhile, looked good at first, but the bloom is clearly off their rose now. . Bulls Joe Crede - 3B - (Chicago White Sox) : No sure thing to even be Chicago's starting third baseman by this time of the year, Crede has come back to have what would be, if he keeps up this rate, the best season of his career. After a stellar week last week, which saw him... Posted Jun 11 2008, 09:52 PM by paChiefsFan with | with no comments Filed under: Jose Guillen, MLB Stock Market, Albert Pujols, C.C.

• MLB Buy 'n Sell (6/8)

  Buying and selling players can get very frustrating. Sometimes all the stats show that a player will have a good week, but then they do the opposite. Then other stats will show that a player is primed to have a bad week, yet he winds up having his best week of the season. Trying to guess how players will do is unscientific and unpredictable, but it sure is fun. This installment of MLB Buy ‘n Sell features six players who may be wise to move this week. Three of them are at their highest value of the... Posted Jun 08 2008, 11:58 PM by BillyS with | with no comments Filed under: Cincinnati Reds, Joakim Soria, Johnny Cueto, C.C.

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Starting Pitchers

  There were a slew of good performances this week, and unfortunately, by the numbers, there were a lot of "One start" weeks this week, which will tend to skew things a bit. Check out the honorable mention at the bottom of the page for some pitchers who had more than one start. Let's take a look, however, at the top three. Gold Jered Weaver - SP - Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Home of the No Longer Mighty Ducks - Well honestly, who knew? Put me in the camp that said Weaver would join...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Starting Pitchers

  There were some truly excellent pitching performances this week, although not really from the places you would expect. One you would, but another is from the team that leads the AL East and another from a young phenom who seems to be capturing the imagination of National League fans. There's the windup, and here's the pitch: Gold C.C. Sabathia - SP - Cleveland Indians : I don't think Sabathia could have started the season any worse than he did. He has proven, however, that he still is... Posted Apr 28 2008, 01:06 PM by TommyD with | with no comments Filed under: C.C. Sabathia, tommy d, James Shields

• MLB Status Check (4/25)

  What a week in baseball. Chase Utley is a one-man show, Ryan Howard kept the bench warm for his teammates, and Cliff Lee is pitching better than Johan Santana. This MLB Status Check will focus on three players from each category. They include categories of those performing at the expected level, those who aren't playing as well as they are capable of playing, and those that are playing great and are finally opening fantasy owners' eyes. These players deserve recognition for their play; whether...
