• MLB Stock Market - Week 26

  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 Joey Votto - 1B - (Cincinnati Reds) : Like a lot of young players, Votto got off to a hot start, then cooled off considerably in the summer (not unlike his teammate...

• 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 Stock Market - Week 23

  It is always nice to see players who have ridden the pine for much of their careers do well. It also hurts when players who historically have done well struggle in the last month of the year. But that is life in professional sports, and there is no better month to watch it all happen than September: Bulls Jayson Werth - RF - (Philadelphia Phillies) : From a platoon player to a guy who bats third in perhaps the most potent lineup in the league? Yeah, I'll take that. Werth has taken advantage of...

• MLB Stock Market - Week 22

  If you get the call from upstairs saying that you need to pack your bags to head for the minor league team, chances are that you will see that as a devastating demotion. Perhaps you should instead see it as a chance for revitalization. Two of the Bulls this week made the most of their minor league experience and have come back stronger than ever. Meanwhile, maybe this week's Bears should consider making a little minor-league rendezvous: Bulls Brett Myers - SP - (Philadelphia Phillies) : Maybe...

• MLB Stock Market - Week 21

  What should this week tell you? Buy hitters, sell pitchers. Of course, this broad prediction does not apply across the spectrum, but if you're looking for the hottest of the hot and want to avoid the coldest of the cold, especially among affordable players, then follow that mantra. The evidence: Bulls Ian Stewart - 2B/3B - (Colorado Rockies) : This rookie is certainly making sure that he won't blow this opportunity. After his first go-round with the Rockies ended in an easy demotion to the...

• MLB Stock Market - Aug. 14th Edition

  Three veterans decide to become bullish as they seek to remake a name for themselves. Meanwhile, three veterans who are new to their respective team this year have made their GMs look bad: Bulls Rod Barajas - C - (Toronto Blue Jays) : Barajas always has seemed to have surprising power, but he could never hit consistently enough to stay in a lineup. Well, he is now getting that opportunity. With Gregg Zaun struggling and unable to hit for any power, Barajas has assumed the main catching duties. In...

• MLB Stock Market - August 7th Edition

  It must be a nice feeling when you are largely undrafted by fantasy owners at the beginning of the season, but by August 7th, you are a deserving, major-league Bear. Being a Bull, meanwhile, is not so fun, and could be a sign of worse things to come:: Bulls Jeff Karstens - SP - (Pittsburgh Pirates) : What a difference a trade makes. Karstens was mostly unimpressive during his Yankee career, and Pittsburgh fans bemoaned the fact that the Pirates traded two valuable players for a couple of mid-level...

• MLB Stock Market - July 31st Edition

  The Bulls this week are all about revenge. Just when they get counted out, they come back strong. The Bears, meanwhile, are either the victim of injury, inconsistency, or a bad trade fantasy-wise: Bulls Chris Carpenter - SP - (St. Louis Cardinals) : Essentially rising from the ashes, Carpenter returned from a 16-month layoff to pitch four strong innings for the Cardinals, throwing only 67 pitches. As his pitch-count limit increases, Carpenter's value rises, especially if he continues to be as...

• MLB Stock Market - July 24th Edition

  The post-All Star Stock Market gets underway with some big names making a "charge" as Bulls, while even bigger names come roaring back to earth as Bears: Bulls Nomar Garciaparra - SS/3B/1B - (Los Angeles Dodgers) : This looks familiar. In his last 14 games, Nomar Garciaparra is batting .333 with three HR, 10 RBI, and a .644 SLG. Of course, the strange thing is that this is 2008, not 1999. Garciaparra has found the fountain of youth, and in a year where very few SS are making waves in the...

• MLB Stock Market - July 9th Edition

  Low batting averages in the spring mean nothing in the summer, if this week's Bulls prove anything. At the same time, some of the waves riding high in the spring have come crashing down for this week's Bears: Bulls Dustin Pedroia - 2B - (Boston Red Sox) : It is hard to get much or any hotter than Pedroia has been the last couple of weeks. Perhaps looking to justify the fans' voting him into the All-Star game, Pedroia went on an absolute tear in some big games, even if the Red Sox as a...

• MLB Stock Market - July 2nd Edition

  Youngsters galore dominate the Bulls, as they look to make their mark on the league. Not that the Bears are old and finished, but they need to step up their game if they want to avoid having these young Bears dominate the landscape. Bulls Evan Longoria - 3B - (Tampa Bay Rays) : Chalk it up to rookie jitters or simply inexperience, but Longoria was not exactly lighting the world on fire upon being called up early this season. Though some power was there, his AVG dipped below .250 by mid-June, rendering...

• MLB Stock Market - June 25th Edition

  Sure, a vegan Bull sounds like an oxymoron, but remember that bulls feed mostly on grass and corn anyway. But I digress. The more important point is that small-market teams are dominating the Bulls, while some big names dominate the Bears. To wit: Bulls Prince Fielder - 1B - (Milwaukee Brewers) : Either it's not the vegan diet or Fielder just likes the summer, but this Prince of a guy is finally justifying his high-round draft status. Fielder has cracked four homers in the last seven days, to...

• MLB Stock Market - June 19th Edition

  This week's Bulls seem to have come out of nowhere, while the Bears are generally well-established. Don't go rushing out to pick up the Bulls or drop the Bears, but keep your eye on them to see if a trend is being established. This far into the season, strategically starting or benching a player who is trending in a certain direction could make a big diference at the end of the season. Bulls Marcus Thames - OF - (Detroit Tigers) : It is always hard to pick up a part-time player at any point...

• MLB Stock Market - June 12th Edition

  Two of the three Bulls got off to sensationally bad starts, but have admirably kept their chins up and now are reaping the rewards. The Bears, meanwhile, looked good at first, but the bloom is clearly off their rose now. . Bulls Joe Crede - 3B - (Chicago White Sox) : No sure thing to even be Chicago's starting third baseman by this time of the year, Crede has come back to have what would be, if he keeps up this rate, the best season of his career. After a stellar week last week, which saw him... Posted Jun 11 2008, 09:52 PM by paChiefsFan with | with no comments Filed under: Jose Guillen, MLB Stock Market, Albert Pujols, C.C.

• MLB Stock Market - June 5th Edition

  The top Bull this week was too easy. So was the top Bear. Bulls Jay Bruce - OF - (Cincinnati Reds) : It's hard to make a bigger splash than Bruce. After months of clamoring for Bruce to take over for the ineffective Corey Patterson, Bruce came to Cincinnati with much fanfare, with chants of "Broooooooooce" raining from the home crowd. Bruce did not disappoint. All he did was hit for a .577 AVG, .667 OBP, 1.038 SLG, three homers, seven RBI, and 12 runs scored in his first seven games...
