Week 1 Waiver Wire: Catchers
The first week of the baseball season is maddening in so many ways. The schedule stops and starts worse than a senior citizen driver who isn't sure if the light is turning red or not. Judging players in these first few days is difficult. It also means that people shouldn't make any snap judgments yet. […]

Baseball Award Predictions that (Probably) Won't Come True
My least favorite type of baseball articles to read are preseason predictions for awards.

It's not exactly informative to hear someone say, "Clayton Kershaw has a […]

This week's topic focuses on the one position we have yet to cover, the most mystical of fantasy players, closers. Reaching 50 saves is an impressive, yet not rare, feat. Since […]
