It’s getting close, can you smell it?  The payoffs, not the playoffs, but the payoffs.  The reason you pay attention from basically the beginning of February thru September.  That’s almost as long as people stay married to professional sports athletes. So with the payoffs  and the dollar signs (or banners for you non-money league participants) being near, staying ahead of the game to secure your seed or to gain the last few points are is crucial.  So good luck this week and if your playoffs start this week double good luck.  (Please keep in mind that pitchers and match-ups change.)

Let’s just skip the intro all together.  You’re scanning this anyways, let’s be honest.  I could put the deepest, darkest secrets of life and all its mystery in this first paragraph and you’re still going to skip it.  It’s cool… no hard feelings.  So without further time wasted and other hullabaloo, have a gander at the low end two-start pitchers for this week in fantasy baseball.  Good luck.  (Please note that pitchers and match-ups change.)

David Phelps (Tor vs Laffey, Bal vs Hunter) I saw the match-ups and my pants sorta don’t fit right anymore.  Innings and depth in games should be your only concern, that and making sure your pork is cooked thoroughly.

As a rule of thumb, I figure the best way to fully concentrate on writing these articles is to put on a god-awful dance movie in the background.  Unless you secretly like those movies and then I have to ask, what are you doing here?  Try it sometimes, it is the best way to become both smarter and less distracted.  I don’t have to give specifics, but anything that features dance and horrible soundtracks will suffice.  Ok, back to the lecture at hand, this is most certainly a 2 start thang.  I am personally liking the lower end options this week, lots of guys that are most likely available in most leagues of moderate size, and the match-ups seem just ripe for the fantasy pickings.  So do like Indiana Jones and choose, but choose wisely.  Because not all good things are shiny and expected.

Another week closer to the end.  Well my friends, it is getting to be that time, crunch time.  I wish they sold some kind of crunch machine for this time of the year, as every start becomes more important than the last.   As you are calculating your starts remaining, innings remaining, and most inevitably the trade deadline in your leagues, take a look at where you’re trailing.  It is now the time to do something about it, not yesterday or in 3 days.   This is why we do all that preparation for the draft and read countless blurbs about players.  We want to win or at least look good doing it.  So take this week to make your final push, because it feels better to try and lose then to not care at all.  Good luck and happy fantasy baseballin’.  (Please keep in mind that match-ups and pitchers change.)

So my weekly piece comes on the heels of the awesomely fantastic Stream-o-nator, which was dropped by the other fellas that run this piece.   It is a great little widget for fantasy baseball and a great stocking stuffer for the kids come Festivus.  So what else happened in the week since we checked each other out, and, by check you out I mean I was in your neighbor’s tree and all I can say is I like what you have done with your furniture.  Oh… not that checking,  gotcha, we are officially on the same page now.   So the trade deadline dropped some great nuggets of fantasy usefulness, not much in my department of 2-start lads, but still some.

This week could end up being a jumbled up mess with the trade deadline, so that is my fair warning salvo.  With only a handful of weeks remaining, it is getting to be put up or shut up — or fantasy football prep.  I mean, as fun as the drafting is, isn’t it better to finish what you started way back in March.  I know the trade deadline may or may not throw monkey wrenches into real life baseball, but we play fake baseball with mythical stallions and our sword is a mouse.  I mean, what’s more intimidating than having the ability to right click somebody, I know I just shivered.

These weeks just seem to be flying by, I know that seems cliche and tacky. We are at the trade deadline practically and it seems as though there are a lot of teams looking to buy, and some very intriguing names that are on the market right now.  Starting pitching makes the fantasy world go round, it’s the truth, I slowed it down and saw Cliff Lee on a bicycle attached to it, pedaling.  I can’t make that type of stuff up.  So it seems like this week is a real ball em and rank em scenario.  Not very many great options that are standing out for me.

The week leading up to the All Star break is always fun times for me — it’s when I can take my paid vacation to beautiful Bayonne, NJ.  My all-inclusive cab ride includes a firsthand view of a few muggings, a stop for gas, and a flavored shaved ice from Primo, the traveling shaved ice guy.  In all seriousness, this is a good time to look at your roster and actually commit to it or start pondering the fantasy football drafts.  So happy 4th of July to all and I hope the fantasy gods bless you with bountiful stashes of herbs and RBI’s.  (Please note that pitchers and match-ups may change)

Everett Teaford (@Tor vs Romero, @Det vs Fister) Sounds like a guy I would want selling Butterscotch Krimpets, not throwing two games in one week.  I have seriously reconsidered how much I like those Krimpets now that I have written about them.
