Ok, there seem to be quite a few players out there that are underachieving so far this year. Grady Sizemore for starters is playing like a rookie who was called up yesterday. Mark Teixeira is another guy who seems to have forgotten what it takes to be a MLB player. Víctor Martínez seems more like [...]

Fantasy Baseball: What Happened to Kubel?
Posted: 27th April 2010 by Brandon Craver in Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Baseball Review, Fantasy Preview, Fantasy Sports, MLBTags: Fantasy Baseball, Jason Kubel
Jason Kubel is off to a terrible start for fantasy baseball managers everywhere. Definitely not the kind of start you want from a guy going around pick 107 in drafts. We were expecting 30+ HR and 100+ RBI to go with a .300 BA. That’s not exactly what we are getting here but there are [...]

Chad Billingsley of the Los Angeles Dodgers started the 2009 season on fire going 4-0 in April with a 2.14 ERA on his way to fantasy baseball greatness. He stumbled a bit in May going 2-3 but still had a nice 3.35 ERA. 3-1 in June but his ERA rose to 3.76. Then he fell [...]

Adam Schefter of ESPN has reported that the Pittsburgh Steelers have contacted teams with top 10 picks in this year’s draft to see if they might be interested in a trade for two time Superbowl Champ Ben Roethlisberger. What does this mean for fantasy football managers? The St. Louis Rams, Cleveland Browns and the Oakland [...]
Get ‘em While They’re Hot

If you are like me, your fantasy baseball roster has at least one roster spot available for picking up the hot player of the moment. Ok, so it would be better to have a roster full of players that you never want to cut. But, it seldom works out that way. Whether one of your [...]

Okay, here is a list of two start pitchers for the third week of fantasy baseball followed by a list of the best match ups within this two start list. This list is best suited for use in weekly roster lock leagues and head to head leagues. I am currently in a weekly roster lock [...]
Hot Hitters

Every year, there are a few players that come out of the gates mashing the ball in the first week. Someone in your league picks them up and tries to ride the streak as long as they can (usually too long), then tries to trade him once he is all used up. Well, here are [...]
Strasburg Gets A+ In AA Debut
Posted: 11th April 2010 by Brandon Craver in Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Baseball Review, Fantasy Preview, Fantasy SportsTags: Aroldis Chapman, Stephen Strasburg, Washington Nationals
The Washington Nationals truly have a special player in Stephen Strasburg and he showed why he is the future of the Nats team. In his Minor League debut, Strasburg gave up four runs, albeit only one of them was earned. He mixed up his pitches well but like Aroldis Chapman, he relied on the high [...]
Chapman Blows ‘em Away In Debut
Posted: 11th April 2010 by Brandon Craver in Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Baseball Review, Fantasy Preview, Fantasy Sports, MLBTags: Aroldis Chapman, Cincinnati Reds
Cincinnati Reds phenom prospect Aroldis Chapman made his Minor League debut for the Louisville Bats Sunday afternoon, pitching 4 2/3innings and striking out NINE batters while walking just one. The Mud Hens had four hits off of him though, but they were all infield hits and one of them was a ground ball to first [...]
