Derek Jeter: The Man. The Icon. The Fantasy Legend.

If you were alive during the 90s, you know the name Derek Jeter, unless you lived under a rock. If you played baseball during that time, you probably attempted to imitate his swing. If you grew up in New York, and were asked to write a paper about who your hero was, the answer was […]

Fantasy Baseball Buy Low / Sell High: Hitters Week 17

We are now entering the post-All Star Game portion of the fantasy season.  My biggest takeaway from the game itself was how bad Yasiel Puig choked in not JUST the game, but the Home Run Derby, too.  Poor guy. We should all know by now whether our teams need true adjustment or if it'll be […]

Chris Owings: Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

  Who is Chris Owings? With the news that Chris Owings has the starting shortstop gig in Arizona, the time has come for fantasy owners to start grading him against other shortstops in the league.

Jhonny Peralta: Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

Who is Jhonny Peralta? After signing a controversial four year $53 million contract in the offseason, it seems counterintuitive that Cardinal shortstop Jhonny Peralta should fit in the 2014 fantasy sleeper category, but based on his rank and average pick in fantasy drafts, Peralta is potentially the most undervalued Cardinal. It is unclear where Peralta will hit […]

Brad Miller: Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

The Seattle Mariners made a concerted effort to bolster their offense during this off-season, bringing several veteran bats into the organization.  Even with these high-profile outside signings, one of the more intriguing players in the Seattle lineup has been slowly making his way through their farm system.  Though seldom looked to for fantasy value, the […]

Five Under the Radar Shortstops - Sleeper Keepers for 2014 Fantasy Baseball

Session 5!

Chicago Cubs Lineup Preview for 2014 Fantasy Baseball

2014 Chicago Cubs Lineup Preview for Fantasy Baseball In short, there’s not much fantasy intrigue in the field for the Cubs this year.
