• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Relief Pitchers

  What is it that we look for in a good quality closer? Good pitching, quick inning work, the ability to shut the other team down, striking the batters out, having a low ERA? How about all of the above? There are only a few who qualify for this position. Here are the ones who passed the test this week. Gold Joakim Soria - RP - Kansas City Royals - Will Soria be around in a couple of years when all this young talent around him finally starts to pay off? Time will tell, but for now; Soria is the best...

How about all of the above? There are only a few who qualify for this position. Here are the ones who passed the test this week.

• MLB Busts of the Week - Week 18

  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 outstanding then, well, you end up with these busts. Some seem to be permanent attached to it this year. Aaron Rowand (SF - OF) - Rowand had been near unstoppable lately. Or so we all thought, last week he went 2 for 20 with one run and a batting average of .100. He struck out eight times and didn't even draw...

• MLB Buy 'n Sell - Week 19

  The trade deadline for fantasy baseball is just around the corner. There are several players that could be moved in order to help solidify fantasy teams and make a final run at a championship. The players listed below fall into one of two categories. The sell category is for players who have high values this week, but in all reality their numbers will most likely take a dip due to inconsistency. The other category features some big named players who have had a rough week, therefore hurting their...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Relief Pitchers

  Relief pitchers were doing their job this past week, and there were a lot of good performances. Trevor Hoffman turned himself around and started doing his job, but was beat out by three other closers doing even better. Salomon Torres did exactly what a relief pitcher is supposed to, Francisco Rodriguez is moving his way up the leader board and Mariano Rivera doing what he does best -- shutting teams down. Gold Salomon Torres (MIL) - Torres pitched like any team would want their closer to pitch. He...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Relief Pitchers

  The three top relief pitchers this week should come as no surprise to everyone. Minnesota, Boston and the Yankees definitely had some good games last week. How do you know that? That's because the top relief performances came from Joe Nathan, Jonathan Papelborn and Mariano Rivera. Gold Joe Nathan (Minnesota Twins) : What more could you ask for in a relief pitcher? Joe threw four innings last week, closed each game and earned the four saves. He only gave up two hits the entire time while striking...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Relief Pitchers

  This past week was stuffed full of Rolaid-Rated Relief performances. A future solid closer for the Royals, a four time Rolaids Man of the Year winner (Can you guess who? There's only three that have done it) and a starter who turned to relief pitching and found his calling. Gold Joakim Soria (Kansas City) - Joakim has closed his last five games flawlessly and it was no different this past week. He threw four different times, an inning each game, struck out four in total and had an ERA and WHIP...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Relief Pitchers

  Relief pitchers are slowly becoming better and better and that much more important. Now a days a relief pitcher doesn't want to fail otherwise the loss is solely their fault. A lot of pressure to deal with and here are three pitchers who deal with the pressure better than most. Gold Brian Wilson (SF) - Wilson hasn't giving up a hit in his last seven games. And although he's averaging only one inning per game, it's been just enough to come in and close it for the Giants. Last week...

• MLB Busts of the Week - Week 10

  Perhaps the most frustrating part of fantasy sports is when a highly ranked player does not perform as expected. When a player is drafted early they should be the model of consistency and produce well. However, that is not always the case since the players are human. This article will revolve around six players who were drafted early, or gained value as the season went on, who have suddenly been outperformed by lesser players. The players listed below are still legitimate players, but definitely...

• MLB Status Check (5/29)

  This was a very interesting week of fantasy baseball. Not only is Chase Utley on his way to the record for homeruns in a season by a second baseman, but the best one-two punch in baseball got completely lit up this week. This feature of MLB Status Check follows three players who lived up to the hype of where they were drafted, three players who didn't live up to the hype and were somewhat busts for the week, and players to keep an eye on after having great individual weeks. This is a weekly segment;...
