• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Second Basemen

  The second base position is normally a position of hits and steals, but sometimes there’s a player that stands out above the rests and puts up terrific numbers. That happened this week in the form of Alexei Ramirez. Ramirez has been very consistent all season long, but his power numbers have really begun to open eyes, finally. He’s showed his potential earlier in the year, but all of a sudden he’s been hitting the ball harder and longer and people are finally giving him recognition. The rest of the...

• 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 - 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 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 Waiver Wire - Week 20

  Every team needs a spark every now and then. The trade deadline has passed for most leagues, but never fear because the waiver wire is a great way to pick up players to help give your team that extra boost every now and then. There were some terrific performances this week by players who are barely owned in fantasy baseball. They aren't the next big players that will wind up as the next big thing, like Ryan Braun was last year, but they're solid players who will help provide numbers to help...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Catchers

  The catcher position is once again up for grabs as Brian McCann, Geovany Soto, and Joe Mauer are M.I.A. Oh well, the three players listed below made the most of their opportunities and opened some eyes this week. However, nobody performed better than the Indians' Kelly Shoppach. He was absolutely amazing this week. He isn't the type of player who'll consistently put up these kinds of numbers, but now everyone knows what he's capable of doing. These three catcher separated themselves...

• 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 Busts of the Week - Week 16

  No matter what, every week there will be busts. Without them, nobody else excels -- and this article wouldn't be written. Everyone on the busts this week are people you wouldn't expect to see this season. It goes to show that not everyone can keep it up year around. Hanley Ramirez Florida Marlins - SS Notes : Ramirez has been very hot all year and one of the best performing shortstops. He has played well all year except for last week; he went one for 11 and had four strikeouts and three walks...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Relief Pitchers

  Closers must have ice water running through their veins to be able to handle the pressure. The entire game comes down on their shoulders and if they mess up then the entire team suffers. It's a position that requires a pitcher to have a strong personality and to not worry about mistakes. This week's installment of the top relief pitchers focuses on three closers who have gone above and beyond and outperformed every other closer in the league. It may be a bit surprising that only one of the...

• MLB Buy 'n Sell (7/13)

  This installment of MLB Buy 'n Sell will be a little different than normal. With the All-Star break right around the corner, this article will still focus on some players who's value is higher/lower depending on how they pitched this week, but it will also give a view into how they've faired after the break in the past, for those that have enough experience that is. It was hard to find players worth selling because there were so many players with high value. However, I believe that I...

• MLB Waiver Wire - Week 15

  The wire is beginning to thin very quickly but it seems like a lot of the consistent players that have been suggested are still sitting there. I guess no one has called their number in line yet, but sooner or later with the amount of injuries happening, people need replacements. Here are a few suggestions and a few repeats.

• MLB Buy 'n Sell (7/6)

  The All-Star break is close at hand and that means it's time for smart fantasy owners to take advantage of those less fortunate. This week's MLB Buy ‘n Sell focuses on two sets of players. The first set is players who have very high values right now, but have been marked with inconsistency. The other focuses on players who don't have very high values now, but they have a very good chance of putting up solid numbers and helping fantasy owners in due time. There are many players on this...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – Center Fielders

  It seems that the centerfield position always has that one player who comes from nowhere and puts up great numbers, but then that player isn't seen again for a while. This week is a perfect example because that's most likely what's going to happy. Cody Ross surprised everyone this week with his, finally, consistent play. Grady Sizemore makes another appearance and it's beginning to be the norm for him. However, as stated above, the one player that makes this week's Top Centerfield...

• MLB Status Check - Week 14

  Many fantasy owners praised the fantasy gods this week. There hadn't been too many really outstanding offenses performances. There have been some alright performances lately, but this week the crop of elite players is quite high and fantasy owners couldn't be any happier. This week's version of MLB Status Check will focus on nine total players. Those players are divided into three categories; lived up to the hype, didn't live up to the hype, and keep an eye on. The first two categories...
