Full Story »Top 10 For Saves: 2014 Fantasy Baseball Predictions
I have a very strong opinion about closers in fantasy baseball, and that is they are the most overrated position in the game. Much like defenses in football, closers are very often drafted many rounds too soon. Relievers contribute little to most pitching stats, and there are often plenty of valuable options lower down the […]

Full Story »Top 10 for Wins: 2014 Fantasy Baseball Predictions
Predicting pitcher Wins is one of the hardest things to do in fantasy sports. That's because, as many of you have probably found out the hard way, having a good pitcher or even an elite pitcher, doesn't guarantee a 16-20 win season. In order to get the win, a pitcher needs the support of his […]
Full Story »2014 New York Yankees: Top Prospects, Part 2 of 2
The loss of Robinson Cano and A-Rod for the upcoming 2014 season exposed the Yankee farm system as being one of the weakest in baseball. The Yanks had spent years trading away their best young talent and had no one in their system prepared to be their everyday second or third baseman. Unlike some other […]
Full Story »Draft Prep: Daily Spring Training Fantasy Baseball Update 3/10
Philosophical question: if a routine fly ball lands untouched in the outfield, does it make a sound?

Cespedes had a game he'd like to forget against […]

Yordano Ventura: I spent the day in Surprise, Arizona, driving about an hour in traffic for really one reason: I wanted to see the Royals' Yordano Ventura pitch. I had read all the reports of his fastball hitting 102 last season. I had also read concerns about his size (he's under six feet tall), and concerns […]
