Michael Vick’s Fantasy Value

By ⋅ August 22, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Michael Vick is coming off a tremendous fantasy season in 2010, but where should he be drafted in 2011, and why? Vick is coming off a year with over 3,000 passing yards, 676 rushing yards, and 30 total touchdowns in 12 games. Despite the numbers and the “wow” factor Vick possesses, there is absolutely no [...]

Chris Johnson: Worth the Risk?

By ⋅ August 20, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

What a difference a year makes. Last year Chris Johnson was the golden boy of every fantasy draft, number one on almost everyone’s board. Whoever was able to land him first was ecstatic, knowing they were going to have a guy who would score at least 15 points per game, with the potential for much [...]

2011 Fantasy Baseball Help: Third Base Pickups

By ⋅ May 14, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

In an already relatively shallow position, third basemen have really bit the injury bug lately. First, Evan Longoria fell in the first week of the season (but he has since returned). Then, it was your second-round pick, Ryan Zimmerman, who will now be out until mid-late June. More recently, David Freese (STL) and Pablo Sandoval (SF) [...]

Fantasy News Flash: Josh Hamilton Out for Two Months

By ⋅ April 12, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Reigning A.L. MVP Josh Hamilton will miss the next eight weeks after suffering a broken shoulder in Tuesday afternoon’s loss to Detroit. In what is being called a controversial play, Hamilton was sent to home plate from 3rd base by his third base coach during a shallow pop up near home plate. Hamilton slid head [...]

Fantasy News Flash: Ryan Zimmerman Sent to DL

By ⋅ April 12, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Let’s throw another elite 3B on the injury pile. The Washington Nationals have placed Ryan Zimmerman on the 15-day DL with an abdominal strain. Zimmerman suffered the injury sliding into second base in Saturday’s game against the Mets. He’s expected to miss at least three weeks, but unfortunately, it could be even longer than that. [...]

Fantasy News Flash: Evan Longoria Placed on DL

By ⋅ April 3, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Earlier today, Tampa Bay Rays 3B Evan Longoria was placed on the 15-day DLwith an oblique strain. The stud 3B left Saturday’s game against Baltimore for pain in his side. After an evaluation, the team decided it would be best to put him on the disabled list. Longoria is expected to miss at least three [...]

Fantastic Mr. Jake Fox: 2011 Fantasy Value

By ⋅ April 2, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

In 2009, utility man Jake Fox was feasting on minor league pitching. In just 49 games for the Cubs AAA affiliate, Fox hit a Ruthian .409/.495/.841 with 17 HRs and 53 RBI, and while those numbers seemed astronomical, they weren’t really an anomaly. Fox had been crushing minor league pitching since 2006, so the power [...]

N.L. West Fantasy Preview

By ⋅ March 27, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Within this division rests the World Series champions, Coors Field killers, ace pitching studs, and the Arizona Diamondbacks. The best team in the division isn’t even the one with the most highly regarded fantasy talent, which can only speak volumes for the division’s depth. San Francisco Giants The reigning world champions’ biggest strength is it’s [...]

N.L. Central Fantasy Preview

The largest division in baseball is brimming with fantasy talent from top to bottom. This division contains the single most dominant player of the past decade, who you will be drafting first overall in any draft. Even though he may overshadow other players, the N.L. Central has a lot of early round talent worth spending [...]

Coming Up With Creative Fantasy Baseball Team Names

By ⋅ March 19, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

You may be the smartest guy in your fantasy baseball league. You took Carlos Gonzalez in the 20th round last year. You let Mark Reynolds slip by you after his 41-HR season. You passed on Adrian Beltre the year after he belted 48 HRs. You knew Dallas Braden and Mark Buehrle had nowhere to go but [...]

N.L. East Fantasy Preview

By ⋅ March 17, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

This division is STACKED. Hell, the Phillies alone have enough starting pitchers to lead your team to glory, and no, that’s no exaggeration. Aside from that, there is an abundance of young hitters, some with 30+ HR potential. You know what? Just draft solely from the N.L. East and you actually might win your league. [...]

A.L. West Fantasy Preview

By ⋅ March 13, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

With all due respect to the A.L. West, most of the offense you want is on Texas. Now, don’t take that as a sign that talent isn’t elsewhere in the division. Oakland seems to have the market cornered on the best starting pitching, but don’t go there for first choice offense. The Angels have both [...]

A.L. Central Fantasy Preview

By ⋅ March 5, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

The A.L. Central is a glass half empty/half full division. Here you can find some of the best and most dependable players as well as bottom-dwelling schmucks. Let’s be honest here and just point out that you want Twins, Tigers, and White Sox players on your team. If you are backed into a corner, you [...]

A.L. East Fantasy Preview

By ⋅ February 27, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

As we all know here in Boston, the Red Sox were extremely active during the offseason. Did the rest of the division sit on its hands as Boston spent big bucks? Well, kind of. The Yankees failed to strengthen their weakest area, that being starting pitching and the Rays had a mini fire sale. In the [...]

Fantasy Football Report: Week 14

By ⋅ December 16, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Well, the Sports of Boston football league has hit the playoffs. I missed out despite having the league’s 2nd highest point total. I’d like to thank Houston’s Andre Johnson for totally screwing me over and scoring that TD on Monday night with 21 seconds left. Because of that, it made another team win, thus knocking [...]
