• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Starting Pitchers

  Pitching is the backbone of every fantasy team. If you don’t have good pitching then you won’t win. It’s as simple as that. Next year will be a bit interesting in terms of seeing how early some pitchers get drafted. Will Johan be the first pitcher? Will it be Webb? Will it be Lincecum? Who knows. What I do know is this week Johan was absolutely brilliant and a huge reason for the Mets trying to hang onto playoff hopes (will they win the Wild Card or choke again?). Roy Oswalt has had a transformation...

• MLB Status Check - Week 26

  The season is practically over, therefore there are some huge names on this list. There are some lesser named players, but there are also some of the biggest names in all of baseball on this list. Some did good, some did not. Owners needed some solid numbers in order to secure their final place in their leagues, yet some players did not deliver. This installment of MLB Status Check consists of nine total players and three categories. The categories are broken down into lived up to the hype , failed...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Starting Pitchers

  Starting pitching usually wins championships, but that isn’t always the case. Sure, there was a top name on this week’s list. There was also a guy who’s had talent but never did much. However, even though his numbers weren’t the best of any of these pitchers, the number three guy put absolutely incredible numbers, especially considering that nobody would even think to use him considering he was coming off of such a horrible last couple of weeks. These three pitchers have been incredible and have...

• 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 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...

• MLB Waiver Wire - Week 17

  Trying to find someone decent after the All-Star game? Picking someone up now is taking a chance and hoping you're picking right. Most of the quality players have been grabbed and people can see what to expect from the ones who are left, but with waiver wire, there is always someone stashed away you could use to help your team. You just have to find them and here is a little help. Nomar Garciaparra Los Angeles Dodgers - 3rd Owned: 25% Notes : Nomar is having a decent year, not quite what everyone...

• 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 Weekly Sleepers (7/20)

  Risk is a huge part of fantasy baseball. With big risks come big rewards. However, big risks can easily burn you and wind up hurting you more than you already were. The risk that has to do with this article is the risk of players returning from the DL from various injuries. Three of the five players listed in this article have been on the DL for a little while and may not even come back when they were scheduled to do so. However, if they do come back then the numbers they are capable of putting up...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Catchers

  Catching has been one of the weakest and most inconsistent positions in fantasy baseball this season. There are a handful of good catchers, but only one of the new "elite" catchers has made this week's list, and his numbers aren't as good as owners would have liked. The other two catchers are very low ranked catchers, therefore it's quite a surprise to see them do so well, especially David Ross who did all of his damage in only eight at bats. Even though catching is a weak position...

• MLB Busts of the Week - Week 13

  Without fail, every week in MLB there will be busts. It's inevitable because someone has to slump and someone has to pitch horrible. Some are one time flukes and others like to make a habit of it. Luckily for the busts this week, they aren't normally on this list and are just making a temporary appearances ... hopefully. Dan Uggla (Florida Marlins - 2B) : Boy oh boy did Uggla pull a 180. He was playing red hot for awhile, and then I put him on the Trade 'Em list saying he was going to...

• MLB Waiver Wire - Week 14

  Who is hanging on the wire this week? Someone is dangling and ready for you pick him. There is still some raw talent left for you if you need to switch it up. This wire features some youngsters coming into their own and a returning rookie trying to fight his way back. Ross Gload - 1B/OF Kansas City Royals Owned : 1.5% Notes : Ross's playing time this year wasn't substantial until Billy Butler went down to Triple-A, now that he has played so well, the Royals are keeping him at first base even...

• MLB Sleepers of the Week - Week 14

  Time to wipe away those eye pebbles from the sandman, there are some sleepers who are about to wake up and go full throttle. Robinson Cano is starting to make a turn around; Ross Gload is shining in the absence of Billy Butler, David DeJesus playing better than ever before, and Andy Sonnanstine turning his pitching upside down. Robinson Cano - 2B (New York Yankees) : Robby made a comeback last week. He is playing second base for the Yankees no matter what, so he just needs to settle down and zone...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – First Basemen

  This week was a perfect example of two things. One of them is that the first base position is the powerhouse position of fantasy baseball. Secondly, first base is very deep and some unexpected players can have some very great weeks. This week involved both of those assumptions. First and foremost, Mark Teixeira can flat-out hit a baseball. He definitely wants his big contract at the end of the year. There were some other surprises this week, such as Lance Berkman not being the second best fantasy...

• MLB Trade 'Em - Week 13

  It's that time of the week ... time to do some wheeling and dealing with your fellow GMs. Who should you throw up on the trading block this week and who are you looking to acquire? Here are a few players you could consider dumping right now. Jose Guillen Kansas City Royal - RF Notes : The time has come to throw Guillen up on the trading block while his value is still decent. There are a few late blooming prospects you could easily get for him. He has been hot this past month and that's the...

• MLB Status Check (6/26)

  It's always surprising how sometimes a very talented player can be a liability because of inconsistency. It's also surprising how sometimes a great player can try to keep his career going later in his age, only to be a shell of his former self, while another player can resurrect his career and put up numbers that he hasn't even seen for a while. That's the kind of week that this was. There are the usual players that you would expect to do well, but then there are also those that didn't...
