• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Third Basemen

  Third basemen did not exactly end the season on a rampage, but overall, it was a very strong season for them. This week's top third basemen consists of a blast from the past, the clear third baseman of the future, and a third baseman still trying to fulfill his unlimited potential: Gold Hank Blalock (Texas Rangers) - Blalock closed out the season not on fire, but as a raging inferno. The oft-injured third baseman finished an otherwise disappointing season by hitting .400, swatting four HR, driving...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Third Basemen

  The NL East dominates this week, as their third basemen dominate the discussion. Whether hitting for average power, or stealing an occasional base, the NL East third basemen came through in these important times. Your top three: Gold David Wright (New York Mets) : Last year, Wright was about the only bright spot on a Mets team that completely squandered a playoff spot they had well in hand. Is it deja vu all over again? Wright, once again, had a fantastic September week, hitting an unbelievable ...

• 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 Status Check - Week 20

  There is nothing more satisfying than watching how well, or poorly, fantasy players perform in a week. It may sound harsh to actually cheer for players to perform poorly, but it makes my job a lot easier, plus it is nice to see that even great players can hit rough patches. There were several top players who performed just like that, but there were also some good players who played like busts. This installment of MLB Status Check consists of three categories, placing three players into the group...

• 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 Top Weekly Performances - Third Basemen

  It has been nearly two weeks since the All-Star game took place, but the stars are still out at the 3B position. Each of the Top Three at 3B are superstars who were taken very highly in their fantasy drafts. Though power numbers were down among 3B, these stars proved that they are so good because they can produce in a variety of ways: Gold Alex Rodriguez (New York Yankees) : A-Rod is still trying to find his power stroke (strange to hear about a guy with 21 HR in an injury-shortened year), but his...

• 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 Top Weekly Performances - Third Basemen

  Obviously, the short week caused the total numbers to look not-so-impressive and kept the sample sizes small. Considering those factors, the Top Three this week did a pretty impressive job producing for their major league teams and their fantasy owners: Gold Melvin Mora (Baltimore Orioles) : Mora may be on the downside of his career, but he still has the ability to rack up a big week on occasion, and the short week resulting from the All-Star break was an ideal time. Mora hit .400 in 15 ABs, along... Posted Jul 20 2008, 11:57 PM by paChiefsFan with | with no comments Filed under: David Wright, MLB Top 3B Performances, Troy Glaus, Melvin Mora

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Third Basemen

  This week might mark the anointing of a new super star, one whom fantasy owners waited and waited for since the beginning of the season to produce big numbers. At least one thing is for certain, though: pitchers could not get the top third basemen out, as the top three hit well above .400 for the week (a fourth, Akinori Iwamura, hit .400 on the dot). Still, this week was all about the gold-medal winner: Gold Evan Longoria (Tampa Bay Rays) : One of these days, Longoria will make more headlines than...

• (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

  It was a very slow week for third basemen, as none topped six RBI, three HR, or eight runs scored. Some hit for a good AVG, but on the whole, production was rather slow from a position that has been one of the most offensively-powerful this year: Gold David Wright (New York Mets) : Wright had a solid all-around week, hitting .407 with two homers, six RBI, eight R, and a stolen base. With the Mets in turmoil because of their managerial situation and sporting a W-L record hovering only around .500...

• MLB Fantasy Minute - Week 3

  Week Three has come and gone, and we are starting to see the superstars emerge. Some are still mired in a funk (see huge first basemen, for example), but the true stars are pining for your All-Star vote as the date ballots are distributed fast approaches. 1. The NL East is stacked with fantasy studs . We all knew this was going to be a strong division, but the NL East is really making a statement this year. The division brags top fantasy stars from all aspects: hitting, starting pitching, and relief...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Third Basemen

  There is no other way of putting it. In Week Three, the third basemen simply mashed, especially the superstars. Huge numbers from the elite third basemen made not only their teams happy, but their fantasy owners glad they picked these guys in the first few rounds (Author's Note: this article does not include the Sunday night Mets-Phillies results) : Gold Chipper Jones (Atlanta Braves) : Jones left Sunday's game with an injury, but not before continuing to punish opposing pitchers. Jones went... Posted Apr 20 2008, 06:25 PM by paChiefsFan with | with no comments Filed under: Miguel Cabrera, David Wright, MLB Top 3B Performances, Chipper Jones

• MLB Status Check (4/10)

  This season of baseball is already full of surprises. There are several players who have lived up to the hype, but the main surprises are those that haven't lived up to the hype, and those who now have more hype than ever before. This MLB Status Check will focus on three players from each category. The categories mentioned are those that performed at the level they were expected to, those that were drafted high but played poorly and those that seemed to fly under the radar and become fantasy...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Third Basemen

  Third basemen flexed their muscles this week, with several third basemen ranking among the league leaders in major categories. Only one surprise in this week's top three, and while you won't be able to depend on him for the rest of the season, the other two are locks for extremely productive seasons: Gold Chipper Jones (Atlanta Braves) : Jones's fast start is certainly not surprising. Always a terrific producer when healthy, Jones has continued to produce with a solid start to the season...
