Jason Castro (C, HOU)

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: Jason Castro didn’t have a spectacular June (.239, 4 HR, 10 RBI), but he produced enough to prove he belongs in the second tier of catchers. Before taking a seat on the 7th, he went 5-for-9 a HR, 4 Runs and 4 RBIs in his previous two games, so it's […]

Fantasy Baseball Advice: Confessions of a Trade Junkie 6/22/13

Take one look at Yasiel Puig’s CBSSports.com Player Profile and you’ll see that a mere two-and-a-half weeks of Trout-like production from the 22-year-old Cuban phenom has fetched some pretty stellar names in 1-for-1 CBS league trades over the past week.  Dustin Pedroia.  Paul Goldschmidt.  Stephen Strasburg.  Josh Hamilton.  AL Cy Young contenders Yu Darvish and […]

Fantasy Baseball Advice: Confessions of a Trade Junkie 5/18/13

A couple of fantasy baseball industry experts that I follow on Twitter were discussing trades recently and one of them mentioned that “trading seems to be down in all leagues.”  As a self-proclaimed Trade Junkie, this was discouraging to read, but it really wasn't all that surprising.  After all, I've participated in plenty of fantasy […]

Fantasy Baseball Advice: Three Up, Three Down after Week One Action

Week 1 of the 2013 MLB regular season is in the books and I’m ecstatic to present the first Three Up, Three Down with statistics that actually count in fantasy baseball.  The Spring Training Movers pieces were fun and all, but now it’s put up or shut up time for spring studs like Domonic Brown, Julio […]

RotoBaller’s Spring Training Stock Taking: Three Up, Three Down

As last week was the “post-hype sleeper” edition of RotoBaller’s Spring Training Stock Taking: Three Up, Three Down (or as I like to call it - STST:3U3D - for short), this week’s article has a prospect theme.  Prospects are exciting, aren’t they?  Fantasy GMs drool over them, targeting them in the late rounds of their […]

RotoBaller's Spring Training Stock Taking: Three Up, Three Down

Consider this the “post-hype sleeper edition” of RotoBaller’s Spring Training Stock Taking: Three Up, Three Down.  Of course, that wasn’t my intention when I started writing this article.  It’s just how the cards fell.  (Note my first poker related reference, for those keeping score at home.) With only week and a half left in Grapefruit […]

RotoBaller's Spring Training Stock Taking: Three Up, Three Down

I’m assuming that most of you don’t read too much into Spring Training stats. That’s what all of the fantasy baseball sites on the internet are telling you, right? That Cactus and Grapefruit League games don’t matter-- nothing counts-- so you shouldn’t put too much stock into spring stats on Draft Day. Case in point: […]

You don't want to draft the below players, trust me.
