I need to thank frequent commenter ltf for today’s lead. Tim Wheeler (COL, OF) has not been a highly touted prospect in the Rockies farm system – ranked number 21 overall. Since my Scouting the Unknown article written on June 1, 2011, he has hit 10 more home runs (6 weeks). Please, blog, may I have some more?

Fantasy Baseball Two Start Starters, Week 16
July 16, 2011 | Fantasy Baseball Two Start Pitchers | 15 Commentsby: Smokey
The extended/new week is a pain in the you know what. It seems as though everyone knows who is pitching but have no idea of when. So I apologize in advance for the 3 comments that I will get that say “so and so isn’t pitching then and he isn’t a 2 start guy.” Please, blog, may I have some more?
Vice-Closers Ready To Assume The SAGNOF-In-Chief
July 15, 2011 | Fantasy Baseball Buy/Sell | 264 Commentsby: Grey
Trading season is upon us and Leo Nunez and Heath Bell could be out while Mike Dunn or Mike Adams could be in. And K-Rod is 5 minutes ago, according to Jessica Shaw. Every time Bell seems more likely to be traded first, Jeffrey Loria whips his checkbook onto the Marlins GM’s back to trade faster. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Brandon Allen Wrenches Away Playing Time
July 15, 2011 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes | 70 Commentsby: Grey
It was a big day for one of my favorite mancrushes, Brandon Allen, as he was called up. In Triple-A this year, 18 homers, 7 steals and a .426 OBP. He’s cut from the same cloth as all the donkeys that have come before him. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Tim Stauffer – Way back when, Tim Stauffer was a stand-out hurler for the Richmond Spiders, sort of in my backyard. He was so good, the Padres made him the fourth pick of the 2003 draft.
Stauffer started out well, dominating A+, AA and AAA (168 IPs, 2.89 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 6.1 K/9). Please, blog, may I have some more?
Fantasy Baseball Hitters, the 2nd Half Excellers
July 14, 2011 | Fantasy Baseball Buy/Sell | 186 Commentsby: Grey
I think I made up the word excellers, but it should be a word, so add it into your Merriam-Webster, who was not a spinoff character from that Emmanuel Lewis show. Never the hoo! Here’s some 2nd half hitters for fantasy baseball who should be better than they were in the first half. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Fantasy Baseball Streamers for Week 15
July 13, 2011 | Fantasy Baseball Two Start Pitchers | 10 Commentsby: Smokey
It’s a confusing week for me to grasp. Some formats are a short week, others role on until literally the middle (or end) of next week. So first things first, I will tackle the short 4 game week and give you some unbridled gems of the streaming variety. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Bobbists Petition On Behalf Of Parnell
July 13, 2011 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes | 115 Commentsby: Grey
I always thought Bobby Parnell was the little black kid in the movie, Role Models, but I stand corrected. Now I think he’s the new closer for the Mets. At least that’s what I hope. On one hand, I feel like the Mets will want to see what Parnell can do in the closer role. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Master Standings are here.
The Pesky Pole Dancers (Trippin’ Baseballs) are the first half champions! They have managed to stave off some tough challengers to lead most of the way. The Dancers have an impressive 111 points and a 3-point lead. Please, blog, may I have some more?
So it’s not really the 2nd half mark in the fantasy baseball season, but it’s the All-Star Break so what else are we going to talk about? The newest The Challenge: Rivals? If this show were on E!, CT would not only have his own spinoff, but he’d be getting married to a Kardashian by now. Please, blog, may I have some more?
With the All-Star Break in full swing, today seems like the perfect time to examine non-closers that could find themselves in the ninth inning during the second half. The list has to begin with Mike Adams, who sports an elite 1.32 ERA and 0.71 WHIP going into Sunday’s action, with 41 Ks and six walks in 41 innings. Please, blog, may I have some more?
A-Rod Torn on Cougars, Meniscus
July 11, 2011 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes | 152 Commentsby: Grey
Apparently, A-Rod’s got a bucket list (get creative with letter replacements for b) that he wrote when he was 15 years old. Madonna, check. Cameron Diaz, check. Christie Brinkley, check. “I wonder if Phoebe Cates will come to my pool party.” Please, blog, may I have some more?
