Yesterday around 7:45 Eastern Time, Twitter got a little extra crazy. Jerry Crasnick of ESPN tweeted that the Mariners were close to acquiring an “impact” bat. Rumors swirled, Adam Jones jokes were passed among Orioles fans (that’s all we have), but eventually the world focused on the New York Yankees because that’s where the universe usually focuses. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Be Happy With Madison
January 13, 2012 | 2012 Fantasy Baseball Draft, Fantasy Baseball Keepers | 77 Commentsby: Grey
Madison Bumgarner will probably be on at least 75% of my teams this year. In the rankings, which start this upcoming Monday, I’ve ranked him way higher than any rational person so I’m bound to have him. You can’t even guess how high I have him. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Kelly Johnson, 2012 Fantasy Outlook
January 11, 2012 | Fantasy Baseball Sleepers | 23 Commentsby: Albert Lang
I, Albert Lang, have been a Kelly Johnson fan, for no real reason, for some time now. I seem to be the only one. ESPN has him in the 200s, and his ADP is at 253. Certainly his 2011 (.222/.304/.413) did nothing to engender him to fantasy players, but I think this just makes him a steal for 2012. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Nolan Reimold, 2012 Fantasy Sleeper
January 10, 2012 | Fantasy Baseball Sleepers | 75 Commentsby: Grey
No, they don’t refer to these Nolan Reimold-types as being “Grey’s stubborn and unable to let go of past” sleepers. No, I’m not just recycling posts from 2009. Though how about that Garrett Atkins?! These players are post-hype sleepers, y’all! Please, blog, may I have some more?
Brandon Morrow, 2012 Fantasy Sleeper
January 9, 2012 | Fantasy Baseball Sleepers | 34 Commentsby: Grey
This is ridiculous. Brandon Morrow has been a sleeper for me going on three years. I realize this. Hence my pointing-it-out’ing. Here’s what I have to ask myself. Is he just another Ricky Nolasco? A guy that consistently has an ERA higher than his xFIP and you should just ignore? Please, blog, may I have some more?
Moustakas Keeps Fine, Just Use Tin Foil
January 6, 2012 | Fantasy Baseball Keepers | 71 Commentsby: Grey
For the first three months that Mike Moustakas was in the majors last year, he hit .232 with one home run through 250 ABs. Major league pitching looked all Greek to Moustakas. Hehe. Speaking of which, “hehe” is giggling like a schoolgirl, so shouldn’t it be sheshe? Please, blog, may I have some more?
Alex Presley, 2012 Fantasy Sleeper
January 5, 2012 | Fantasy Baseball Sleepers | 26 Commentsby: Grey
I’ll give you a little insight into my writing these posts. I write the majority of them in October and November. Baseball’s slow then and it gives me time to backlog. I tell you this because I want to be clear that when I wrote this post Alex Presley was a sleeper with everyday playing time coming his way in five months. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Vernon Wells, 2012 Fantasy Sleeper
January 3, 2012 | Fantasy Baseball Sleepers | 73 Commentsby: Grey
Who knows how to get pageviews better than me? I mean, when people see the title Vernon Wells, 2012 Fantasy Sleeper they are bound to click on that. Am I right, or am I right-right?! Shoot, I imagine a lot of people will link to this article and before I know it I’ll have a castle made of all the pennies I earn from people reading this article then people will tour my penny castle in a bus and point out the room where I went mad waiting for Vernon Wells to actually hit. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Ugh. I hate Alex Rios. It hurts me soul, Lupe Fiasco, to write this post. Unfortch, I gotta point out Alex Rios because of his terrible 2011 has made him underrated. I’m just going to write the rest of this post and then pretend like it never happened if he disappoints again. Please, blog, may I have some more?
