Zack Cozart, 2012 Fantasy Outlook

November 29, 2011 | Fantasy Baseball Rookies | 44 Comments

by: Grey

The Janish-Renteria tandem isn’t just the name of a Center for Disease Control in Sweden; it’s also what was standing in Zack Cozart‘s way going into 2011. That was an easy combo to beat out for the shortstop job. But Dusty looks at rookies and laughs maniacally while daintily pushing his toothpick to the side of his mouth. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Anthony Rizzo, 2012 Fantasy Outlook

November 28, 2011 | Fantasy Baseball Rookies | 42 Comments

by: Grey

By my calculations, Anthony Rizzo is the top rookie 1st baseman heading into the 2012 fantasy baseball season. (For all of you screaming Paul Goldschmidt, he has too many ABs to be considered a rookie and too many Christmas presents to be considered a Jew. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Yahoo’s Fantasy Baseball

If you search for fantasy baseball, the first result is Yahoo Fantasy Baseball. (We’re first for fantasy baseball blog. Natch! Or natchurally, if you’re long-winded.) But this isn’t about Yahoo fantasy baseball. (Is Yahoo always with an exclamation mark? Yahoo has a volume problem, huh?) Please, blog, may I have some more?

The Run Down

Maybe it’s just me, but these Giants prospects are boring. Please, blog, may I have some more?

2012 Fantasy Outlook, Jesus Montero

November 22, 2011 | Fantasy Baseball Rookies | 79 Comments

by: Grey

The way the Yankees have handled Montero makes you want to say what no Jesus has said since the first one, “Oy vey.” Is Jesus Montero ever going to start? Only the Yankees and the mysterious monks that Dan Brown’s probably writing about know that answer. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Bryce Harper, 2012 Fantasy Outlook

November 21, 2011 | Fantasy Baseball Rookies | 32 Comments

by: Grey

Is Bryce Harper the best prospect ever? Or if you’re Andre 3000, forever, ever, ever, ever? Forever never seems that long until you’re grown, which Harper has not done yet. He’s like 13 years old. He had his last birthday party at Chuck E. Please, blog, may I have some more?

National Dee Keeper Society

Dee Gordon can steal 70 bases. ‘Nuff said. He’s Juan Pierre before he started bulking up and hitting two homers a year. “Juan, did you eat all your spinach?” “Yes, mother!” For some reason, I picture Juan Pierre living with the mother from Throw Momma from the Train and talking like Napoleon Dynamite. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Matt Moore, 2012 Fantasy Outlook

November 17, 2011 | Fantasy Baseball Rookies | 54 Comments

by: Grey

On September 22nd, Matt Moore went into Yankee Stadium and delivered a gem — 5 IP, 0 ER, 5 baserunners, 11 Ks. Even though it was against the Yankees B lineup, which was produced and directed by Roger Corman, his lights-out performance in September was exactly what he’d been doing in the minor leagues since 2007. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Bill Lee — Spaceman!

November 15, 2011 | Y to Z | 24 Comments

by: Paulie Allnuts

Most players answer questions yes or no. I end up with a two-page dissertation on the Coriolis effect on how the ball spins. I’m not putting people on. I’m telling the truth. But people consider me flaky. The word “sinister” comes from the Latin word for left-handed, you know. Please, blog, may I have some more?

That Philly Spread Is A Pap Shmear On Their Relief Bagel

November 14, 2011 | Uncategorized | 87 Comments

by: Grey

Or is it Philly adds pap shmear to their J-Roll? What, icky? Sorry, friend. The Phils signed Jonathan Papelbon to a silly deal of sillier proportions. Maybe the Phils should move to the Santa Ynez Valley because their replacement of Madson is a sideways move. Please, blog, may I have some more?
