• MLB Status Check - Week 25

  The fantasy season is winding down, but baseball is heating up. Some players have no quit in them and have been on absolute fire. However, there have also been those that have hit slumps and are struggling. That is what makes fantasy baseball so exciting. Things can change quickly and you never know when a player will heat up or cool down. That’s especially why the waiver wire is so fun to look through each week. Sometimes that could be the difference between winning and losing. Good luck to all...

• MLB Buy 'n Sell - Week 25

  It’s finally here. The end of the season. Championship matches will be starting soon for those in head-to-head leagues. This is the final time to update rosters to get that last missing piece of the puzzle. Tinkering with rosters can be a risk, but there are some players to consider buying or selling this week. This installment of MLB Buy ‘n Sell consists of six players that could have an impact this week, whether it’s negative or positive. Three players are placed in each category which best displays...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – First Basemen

  Once again the first base position proves be the backbone of every team. There are so many talented first basemen out there and their numbers can be the difference between a winning season and a losing season. This week was no different, except that the one with the best week may not have been the player you’d have expected to put up the top numbers. Joey Votto makes his case for AL ROY and put up better numbers, as a whole, than Miggy Cabrera and Justin Morneau. These three players were extremely...

• MLB Busts of the Week - Week 22

  The playoffs are here and owners need production from key players more than ever right now. Unfortunately that doesn't always happen. There have been many disappointments from some very big name players. However, none is bigger than Brandon Webb and how horrible he's been lately. Owners need production from every single player on their roster because the end of the season is right around the corner. This installment of MLB Busts of the Week consists of six players who were drafted early,...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – First Basemen

  Once again the first base position proves to be the position of power this week. However, it also proved one other thing and that would be that this weeks batch of first basemen also hit for very high averages. That proves that they are consistent and the consistent players are the ones that help owners win week after week. The three players included in this article all had spectacular weeks, but it's a bit scary since they're capable of even more than this. Each player deserves praise for...

• MLB Busts of the Week - Week 20

  It's pretty frustrating when players that are drafted early do not perform up to expectations. Early draft picks are used for players that are consistent and put up numbers that help an owners team win week after week. However, every player goes through a slump at one time or another during the season. This week there are several players that can use that excuse for poor performances. This installment of MLB Busts of the Week consists of six players that fantasy owners invested in, who haven't...

• MLB Buy 'n Sell - Week 20

  The trading deadline is officially here, but there are a lot of leagues out there that don't use a deadline. That means more time to tweak lineups before the playoffs. There are some interesting names in this week's version of MLB Buy ‘n Sell. There aren't as many lesser named players on this week's list because these players are suddenly in the spotlight and the hype machine is in full gear. That mainly refers to Raul Ibanez and Denard Span. Ibanez has had the best week for a Mariner...

• MLB Status Check - Week 19

  This has been an extremely exciting week for fantasy baseball. There were some insanely dominant performances this week. Some players were in dire need of turning the corner and this week they did just that. Some have been dominant since coming back or overcoming injuries. Others have been dominant after trades. However, there are some that just didn't do well in general. In fact, all three players who could be labeled ‘busts' this week were among the top producers at their level. This version...

• MLB Status Check (7/24)

  We haven't seen a week like this in quite a long time. It is, in my opinion, the perfect week for some fantasy owners. Some players are playing their hearts out while others looks fizzled out and are in prolonged slumps. Of course if you own a player in a slump then you aren't happy, but if you own one of the players that are on fire then you're dancing for joy, especially if your opponent has one or more of the mentioned slumping players. Things don't stop at that though. There are...

• MLB Buy 'n Sell (7/20)

  The first few games in the second half of the season have been quite exciting. There are several players who have started to pick things up, but there have also been some players that have fallen. Owners should keep their eyes open and hopefully try to acquire the missing piece of a championship team before the trade deadline. This installment of the MLB Buy ‘n Sell consists of three players in each of the two categories. Those that are riding hot streaks are prime candidates to sell, while those...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – Center Fielders

  It has been getting really difficult to weed out the true centerfielders from the rest of the crop. There are many players who are eligible for the centerfield position, but this article deals with the ones who primarily play centerfield since there are other articles covering those at other positions. This week's batch of centerfielders were pretty impressive, but fantasy owners are also used to seeing their names because each one is a household fantasy name. Some of the numbers that these players...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – Left Fielders

  Left field seems to be a much friendlier fantasy position over the last few years. More and more players are qualifying for the position, but there are still only a handful of players that can be considered elite left fielders. This week there just so happened to be three such players who fit the mold. They put up some terrific numbers and, in some cases, single handedly carried their fantasy owners to wins this week. Owners should be extremely happy to own the three players listed in this installment...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Catchers

  Catching has been one of the weakest and most inconsistent positions in fantasy baseball this season. There are a handful of good catchers, but only one of the new "elite" catchers has made this week's list, and his numbers aren't as good as owners would have liked. The other two catchers are very low ranked catchers, therefore it's quite a surprise to see them do so well, especially David Ross who did all of his damage in only eight at bats. Even though catching is a weak position...

• MLB Buy 'n Sell (6/29)

  There are several players to keep an eye on this week. There are the obvious players that have inflated values due to huge performances, but there are also some players who may not have been considered at first. Gambling is always fun until you lose. This feature of MLB Buy ‘n Sell just so happens to put a ton of faith in players while also investing a lot. Faith is a big no-no in fantasy sports because it can backfire big time, but that is what makes gambling fun. You can either go home with empty...

• MLB Buy 'n Sell (6/15)

  There have been some explosions, implosions, and hairline corrosion after this week in fantasy baseball. Some players, such as Mark Reynolds, exploded and put up some amazing numbers. However, some players (I'm looking at you Billy Wagner) completely imploded this week. That leaves us with the hairline corrosion aspect, which I mainly used because it was the only word I could think of that rhymed with the other two. Either way, there were definitely some surprises in store this week. As stated...
