Zack Greinke Traded to Brewers

By ⋅ December 19, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Zack Greinke has been traded to the Milwaukee Brewers, just one year removed from his Cy Young 2009 campaign. In that year, he was 16-8 with a 2.16 ERA, 1.073 WHIP, six complete games, three shutouts, 242 strikeouts, and 53 walks in 229.1 innings pitched. In 2010, he was 10-14 with a 4.17 ERA, 1.245 [...]

Sox Blast 5 HRs to Beat Greinke, Royals

By ⋅ April 11, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Saturday’s game against the Royals featured the season debuts of three members of the Sox bench, including the soon-to-be retired Mike Lowell. Lowell started, played third base, and hit sixth in the batting order. He didn’t commit an error and made a good play in the second inning, but he didn’t light the world on [...]

By ⋅ October 6, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

Aaaaaaannnnnnnnnnd that does it! The baseball season has officially come to an end. This of course means that fantasy baseball has officially closed in the year 2009. If we all want a taste of this game again, we will have to wait a few months until the 2010 draft preparations begin. Congratulations to all of [...]

Fantasy Baseball Wrap-up: Week 25 (9-21 – 9-27)

By ⋅ September 29, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Championship week is upon us. In our SoB league, it is a two week affair that will have you pulling your hair out and anxiously awaiting to see box scores. Just because you aren’t in the finals, doesn’t mean you can’t watch the drama unfold. Hell, you still have your consolation brackets to compete for. [...]

Fantasy Baseball Wrap-Up: Week 21 (8-24 – 8-30)

By ⋅ September 1, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

We now enter Week 22, which is the final week of the regular season for Yahoo! fantasy baseball. I have secured a playoff spot in two leagues and am hanging on for dear life in another. The ironic thing is that in my fourth league, where I currently reside in 11th place, I thought I [...]

Troy Tulowitzki a Top SS in 2010?

By ⋅ August 24, 2009 ⋅ 4 comments

With the playoffs around the corner and the trade deadline passed it is about that time to take a look back at the 2009 season as a whole. It has been a season full of injuries to top players (Jose Reyes, Carlos Beltran, Brandon Webb, Jake Peavy just to name a few). So I decided [...]

Fantasy Baseball Wrap-Up: Week 12 (6-22 – 6-28)

By ⋅ June 30, 2009 ⋅ 4 comments

I hate closers. I really, really do. I hate them in large format leagues (like the SoB 12×12 league) because they are basically worthless with 12 pitching categories and because if they have a bad outing it really screws you over. For example, this past week in my mideason league, I had Jose Valverde of [...]

Surprises of the Baseball Season

By ⋅ June 15, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Now that we are approximately two and a half months in to the baseball season, each player’s statistics have begun to hold a little bit more weight. Thus, we can begin to analyze some of the more unlikely numbers of the season so far. Adam Lind Tied with Freddy Sanchez for the lead in doubles, [...]

Fantasy Baseball Wrap-Up: Week 8 (5-25 – 5-31)

By ⋅ June 2, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

OK, so the Matt Wieters experiment isn’t looking good so far (.182 avg, 0 RBI), but hey, these things just need time baby. In one of my leagues, I was offered a trade. It was Angels’ 1B Kendry Morales for Colorado 3B Garrett Atkins. Maybe this guy got a hold of my piece on Atkins [...]

Fantasy Baseball Wrap-Up: Week 5 (5-4 – 5-10)

By ⋅ May 12, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

As I have documented before, I am in three baseball leagues. In two, I am in great position in the top 5. In one, I am in dead last thanks to two factors: Injuries and Lance Berkman hitting under .200. The news did not get any better last week when Cubs’ 3B Aramis Ramirez dislocated [...]

TGIF: Zack Greinke Owners Beware!

By ⋅ May 1, 2009 ⋅ 7 comments

All good things must come to an end. Oh, and they will. Currently, Kansas City’s Zack Greinke is the best pitcher in fantasy baseball. The first month of the season has seen Greinke win all five of his starts which include two complete games and two starts with at least 10 strikeouts. However, this kind [...]

Fantasy Baseball Wrap-Up: Week 3 (4-20 – 4-26)

By ⋅ April 28, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Just a quick update on my three leagues. I am in the top 6 in two of them and am in dead last in one of them. Ironically, after each draft, I loved my team the most in my last place league and hated the offenses in the two leagues I am doing well in. [...]

Fantasy Baseball Wrap-Up: Week 2 (4-13 – 4-19)

By ⋅ April 21, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Apparently the new Yankee Stadium has become a home run haven. It has always been a well-known fact that Colorado’s Coors Field was the ideal place for owners needing a power fix. If recent trends continue, then I guess we will all have to start putting players in our lineups solely based on the fact that they are [...]

Fantasy Wrap-Up: Week 18 (7-28 – 8-3)

By ⋅ August 5, 2008 ⋅ One comment

The trade deadline has come and gone. Several big names such as Jason Bay, Manny Ramirez, and Mark Teixeira have found new homes. I was very happy to see that Pat Burrell was not traded to the Red Sox because now I don’t have to trade him in my leagues (I hate having Sox players). [...]
