• 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 Trade 'Em - Week 11

  Here are a couple players to look into trading this week; their value is high or decent and you should be able to turn your team around a little bit with their help on the trading block. Justin Upton (Ari - OF) - Upton's fantasy value has been very high lately. He has the potential to finish in the top 20, and maybe even 10, outfields by season's end. He will be a serious talent in the coming years, but right now, he is a gem that just needs polishing. Justin was awesome in April, then slumped...

• MLB Stock Market - May 14th Edition

  Poor closers. Their roles are so magnified because of the nature of their jobs, just like kickers in the NFL. Thus, one bad outing can cause fans to grumble; two bad outings could mean his job is in jeopardy. That also makes them easy fodder for bears, so much so that we felt bad and awarded a bull spot to a questionable closer: Bulls Chris Young - OF - (Arizona Diamondbacks) : Of late, Young has been batting third a lot, which is huge news for his owners. Not only does Young benefit from more RBI... Posted May 14 2008, 10:19 AM by paChiefsFan with | with no comments Filed under: MLB Stock Market, C.J.

• MLB Fantasy Minute - Week 2

  Week Two of the MLB season came and went, and the Baltimore Orioles are still in first place (though now tied), Zack Greinke, Cliff Lee, and Edwin Jackson lead the AL in ERA, and Jason Kendall and Nate McLouth are among the NL leaders in AVG. In other words, it is still very early in the season. Some interesting observations from Week Two: 1. The Arizona Diamondbacks could be a fantasy gold mine. If you like power numbers, the Diamondbacks may be your team this year. Arizona has had one of the best...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Right Fielders

  After a strong week last week, right fielders quieted down a little in Week 2. Though the power and average were there, the RBIs were slow in coming. Given the high batting averages put up by RFs, though, the low RBI totals can be chalked up to a fluke more than anything else. Your top three RF for Week 2: Gold Andre Ethier ( Los Angeles Dodgers) : Ethier was locked in a battle for playing time in spring training with Juan Pierre and Matt Kemp, but his early production has earned him a full-time...

• 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 - Right Fielders

  Right fielders have gotten off to a blazing start, putting up huge numbers in the first week of the season. That has made fantasy owners extremely happy, as RFs were a bit of a question mark heading into the season. However, it has been the sleepers who have dominated the RFs so far, as the medal stand shows: Gold Xavier Nady (Pittsburgh Pirates) : Nady is no stranger to fast starts, having compiled a terrific April in 2006. This year, Nady is on pace to top April 2006 by a good margin, hitting ...

• MLB Fantasy Minute - Week 1

  Week one of the MLB season brought a lot of excitement to baseball fans and fantasy owners. While we don't know which teams are contenders and which teams are pretenders just yet (OK, maybe we do know at least some of the pretenders), we can discern some of the trends in fantasy baseball that will be relevant for the whole season. To boot: 1. The San Francisco Giants are really, really bad. We knew the Giants would be bad, but the first week has pretty much confirmed that they will be absolutely...
