• 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 Stock Market - Week 25

  Nothing but big names in this week's stock market. Just like the real stock market has seen some big-time companies not just fade, but actually tank, we see some big names making the list today. However, unlike the actual stock market, the big names in the fantasy stock market are making up both the Bulls and the Bears. To wit: Bulls Ted Lilly - SP - (Chicago Cubs) : It is almost impossible to follow up on a no-hitter by your teammate, particularly when your start follows a media attraction like...

• 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 Fantasy Minute - Week 22

  This week we have a veritable potpourri of players who have fallen under the radar. We have hitters, we have pitchers, we have rookies, we have superstars. And then, we have our C.C. & Roy watch. What more could you ask for in a minute? 1. Under the radar in Kansas City. Wait a minute, this heading looks familiar, doesn't it? Last week, we discussed how Joakim Soria has fallen under the radar despite having a fantastic year as one of the top closers in the league. Well, Billy Butler may not...

• MLB Busts of the Week - Week 17

  If there are top performances every week, there has to be busts of the week as well -- it balances out the baseball universe. If one player does well, another does badly. If one player does awesome then, well, you end up with busts. Some are permanently attached to this list this year; others just try to come and go quickly. Dan Uggla (FLA) - What did Uggla do last week? Did he make Top Weekly Performances? I think not. Uggla went 1 for 21 last week with two runs and batted .048. He did nothing else...

• MLB Fantasy Minute - Week 15

  1. Slow but steady wins the race in pitching. That quote may not be completely accurate; after all, C.C. Sabathia and Justin Verlander were anything but steady at the beginning of the season. Remember the time when these two were sporting a 6.50 and 7.88 ERA, respectively, on April 30? My, how time heals those wounds. Both have slowly but surely established themselves once again as two of the top pitchers in the league. Sabathia has come the longest way, at one point sporting a 13.50 ERA (on April...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Starting Pitchers

  Pitching is the backbone of fantasy baseball. It is important to have a great starter with a good supporting cast because there are quite a few pitching categories that can easily be dominated with the right set of pitchers. This week is a great example of balance. Included in this installment is a very highly ranked pitcher, a middle of the road ranked pitcher, and then a pitcher who was horrible early on, but his value has increased to the point where he's worth a pickup. If you owned at least...

• MLB Start 'Em, Sit 'Em (6/16)

  Taking a close look at the players' splits and home/away schedules this week, there were some obvious Start 'Ems. The Sit 'Ems? Well, nagging injuries have their way of frustrating players, fans, and fantasy owners alike, and this week is no exception: Note: Start 'Em, Sit 'Em will follow the weekly schedule of most fantasy leagues, that is, starting Monday and ending Sunday. START 'EM! Aubrey Huff | 1B/3B Baltimore Orioles Huff is hitting significantly better against right...

• MLB Status Check - TWIB

  Hello folks, and welcome to MLB Status Check . I'm your host Tommy D filling in this week. It's that time of the week where we check the status of the "hypification" (totally just invented a new word) of players around the diamond of late. If any of you are familiar with my NBA version of Status Check, you'll know that I tend to look at trends instead of streaks, which usually means the time of evaluation for each player can vary from player to player. Don't be alarmed,...

• MLB Status Check (5/2)

  There are quite a few big names on this week's MLB Status Check. However, there are also quite a few surprises. The biggest surprises would be the power pitchers who seem to be dropping like flies in terms of fantasy value. For instance, Justin Verlander and Brett Myers can throw a fastball by any batter in the game, yet they are getting rocked. Matt Holliday is playing like just an average outfielder, and a kid by the name of Nate McLouth is playing like he's part of the Hall of Fame. It...

• MLB Buy n' Sell - Slow Start or Scary Trend?

  You have to love April, you just have to. Florida, Tampa Bay and Baltimore all sit stop their respective divisions; while the Yankees sit in fourth and the Tigers are dead last in the Central. The expectation is that all these things will eventually change and things will return to normal. However, you've got to enjoy that these teams, and more importantly these teams' fans finally have something to cheer about, and that's bound to make baseball stronger in the long run. With that out... Posted Apr 28 2008, 02:25 PM by TommyD with | with no comments Filed under: Ryan Howard, Jose Reyes, Chipper Jones, Lance Berkman, tommy d, Cliff Lee, Justin Verlander

• MLB Stock Market - April 23rd Edition

  Let's put Week Three this way: the Bulls were really bullish, while the Bears were really bearish. To keep the clichés going, when you're hot, you're hot, but when you're not, you're not. As a result, sorting out Week Three was pretty easy. To boot: Bulls Pat Burrell - OF - (Philadelphia Phillies) : Keep in mind that Burrell is in a contract year. It seems like so long ago that Philadelphia fans were ready to run him out of town, and were practically begging GM Pat Gillick to...
