Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets for Week 9

Sometimes fantasy baseball can resemble the stock market. You want the best portfolio of players without having to pay too much for them.

Hitters That Aren't Missing Their Pitches

One thing that the analytical world of fantasy baseball doesn't talk much about is the quality of pitches seen by hitters.
