• MLB Top Weekly Performances – First Basemen

  First base is the cornerstone of power in any fantasy baseball lineup. There’s just no denying that first basemen are the biggest reason for power numbers. Even though there is nice power it’s usually followed with a low average and a high strikeout total. However, that’s not always the case, as the following players prove. For instance, Hank Blalock has been tearing the cover off the ball and has been the best offensive player over the last week or so. Albert Pujols is an elite first basemen. Last...

• MLB Buy 'n Sell - Week 26

  The fantasy season is nearly over, but there’s still enough time for some owners to make a few quick adjustments to get their final lineups and rosters together. Values are forever fluctuating and the players listed below all had their values change in a big way. There are three players who had high values this week and three who had weeks that they would probably rather forget. This article suggests that those who have the higher value should be sold, while owners should specifically target those...

• MLB Busts of the Week - Week 24

  This is crunch time and owners need All-Star caliber weeks from every single player on their roster. The chances of every player putting up their best game is slim, but it really shouldn’t be too much to ask for an owners’ top draft picks to put up great numbers. This is when fantasy owners need their players to step up and help out. Sadly, that rarely happens, as was the case this week. This installment of MLB Busts of the Week consists of six players who were drafted early who haven’t produced...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Second Basemen

  There are always a few surprises in fantasy baseball and the second base position is the surprise this week. Nobody could have predicted the outcome of this. There was no Brian Roberts, Chase Utley, or Dan Uggla as the top second basemen for the week. In stead there are Asdrubal Cabrera, Eugenio Velez, and Jose Lopez. All three do have talent, but they aren’t exactly the first names that would come to mind when you think about which second basemen would put up the best overall numbers for the week...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Catchers

  There have been some terrific catchers this year, and then there have been the duds. It’s sad that so many “top” catchers have had such unproductive seasons if you look at the numbers that they were projected to have in the off-season. Some of them were very early picks, yet other players who were picked several rounds later wound up producing around the same as them. Luckily the three catchers on this list were all either not drafted or all, or taken extremely late. This week they outperformed other...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Second Basemen

  The second base position was a bit odd this week. There was, of course, Dustin Pedroia putting up terrific numbers. However, the other two were pretty much surprises. Kelly Johnson has been pretty consistent putting up numbers, when healthy, this year. Asdrubal Cabrera isn’t exactly the first name that comes to mind when you think of fantasy friendly second baseman. He did help owners none-the-less and deserves recognition. These three players put up numbers better than everyone else and deserve...

• MLB Status Check - Week 22

  This season feels like it's winding down really fast. However, it seems like some players wanted to make an impact before the end. Many players have rebounded after having some tough previous weeks and have made the list. Grady Sizemore put up some monster numbers this week, but Jimmy Rollins probably has the comeback performance after being absolutely horrible early on. This list also includes a potential Cy Young winner, as well as a possible MVP, who didn't have the best of weeks. There...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – Center Fielders

  Speed kills in fantasy baseball. Stolen bases are hard to come by because it seems like players are so inconsistent with them. One year a guy will have 50 steals, but the next year he'll only have 30. This week there were guys running all over the base paths and it was quite a spectacle. However, Grady Sizemore stole the show with his amazing all-around performance. He did everything and showed how close he is to becoming a true, elite five-tool stud. The players listed in this article deserve...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Catchers

  Once again the so called "elite" catchers fail to live up to their title. The catcher position isn't exactly the deepest in fantasy baseball, therefore there isn't as much competition. However, the top names still seem incapable of producing week after week like others can. I know catcher is the most physically demanding job, but some catchers are drafted early, but they just don't perform the way they should. The three catchers listed below outplayed every other catcher this...

• MLB Waiver Wire - Week 21

  It really is fun to take the risk and pick players off of waivers every now and then. You never know when you'll wind up finding a diamond in the rough. Chances are that it's a bit late in the season to find a diamond, but there's always a chance at finding a lesser valuable precious stone. Picking up players off of waivers is a tool that is used for finding low key players that can have a big impact on a fantasy team. This installment of MLB Waiver Wire consists of five players that...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Starting Pitchers

  There is nothing better in fantasy baseball then when pitchers put on terrific performances. This week was just that because these starting pitchers have put up some tremendous numbers. This article includes two pitchers who most certainly will wind up with some great awards to reflect their success. Brandon Webb should win the NL Cy Young while Cliff Lee takes home the AL Comeback Player of the Year award. Don't feel too bad for Matt Garza though, because he's pitching on a first place team...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Second Basemen

  This was an exciting week for second basemen. It consisted of names people know, but one of the names isn't really familiar in terms of fantasy baseball. The first two choices were Ian Kinsler and Dustin Pedroia. No real shocker there since they've been extremely solid all year. However, the third candidate, Asdrubal Cabrera is best known for his unassisted triple play and not his bat. However, things can change quickly and maybe Cabrera can become a serviceable player. These players all...

• MLB Busts of the Week - Week 19

  This week was pretty ugly to look at. There are some elite fantasy players on this week's installment of MLB Busts of the Week , and that is definitely not a good thing. These players were drafted early on at their respective positions because they bring stats that are what help owners compete on a daily basis while trying to make their way into the fantasy playoffs. This article includes six players that basically failed their assignments and hurt owners more than they helped. Each player is...

• 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 Waiver Wire - Week 19

  Injuries are a huge part of teams not getting far as they should, but sometimes even the healthy players can hit the wall and hold the team back. Trades aren't always the answer to everything because they're expensive and usually made when an owner is desperate. Therefore if you were to trade and you were doing it out of desperation, sadly, you'd most likely wind up getting ripped off. That is why the waiver wire is such an important tool in fantasy baseball. There are players in there...
