This post was almost titled, “Alcides Escobar, 2010 Fantasy Sleeper As Long As The Brewers Don’t Make A Boneheaded Decision To Start Hardy At Shortstop.” Lo and behold, the Brewers fermented their yeast and unloaded Hardy — Hardy knew you! — and have committed to Alcides. With him and Rickie Weeks up the middle in […]

Fantasy Baseball Keeper League Strategy
November 6, 2009 | Fantasy Baseball Keepers, fantasy baseball strategy | 129 Commentsby: Grey
Usually on Friday I go over one player who can be looked at keeping in keeper leagues, but the other day in the comments I was asked for some general fantasy baseball keeper league strategy. A request and dedication, if you will. For illustration purposes, let’s look at last year’s Chase Utley keeper post. Go […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Scott Sizemore, 2010 Fantasy Outlook
November 3, 2009 | Fantasy Baseball Rookies | 163 Commentsby: Grey
With Grady Sizemore dealing with an elbow issue and Tom Sizemore responsible for The Smoking Gun updates, finally we have a Sizemore that had a good 2009. Scott Sizemore is the 2nd base prospect for the Tigers. I know what you’re thinking, Crapolanco’s got 2nd base locked down, son. Well, Dad, Crapolanco is entering free […]

What I’d really like to see is a Major Leaguer go to Cuba to play. Kevin Youkilis grows out his beard another five inches, jumps in a raft and paddles to Havana. He tears up the Cuban Leagues on a steady diet of fastballs and plantains. This could end the Cold War for good. (It […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? B.J. Upton, 2010 Fantasy Baseball
October 30, 2009 | Fantasy Baseball Keepers | 145 Commentsby: Grey
We continue our 2010 fantasy baseball keeper posts with B.J. Upton. At first, I was going to write about Justin Upton, but I figured he was such a no-brainer that I didn’t need to dedicate a keeper post to him. Of course he’s a keeper. B.J.’s much more interesting. In his short major league career, […]

With the the top 20 closers for 2009 fantasy baseball, we’ve finished our recap of the 2009 fantasy baseball rankings. This is our final look back. This is still a look back. It is not how I’d rank them for 2010 aka next year. As with the other rankings, the final rankings come from ESPN’s […]

How’s everyone holding up without baseball every day? I don’t know what to do with myself! Yesterday, I wandered into a Starbucks and told the coffeerista about Billy Butler for 2010. She told me where to find Manic Panic hair dye so I could dye my roots blue (which is a great gospel group, but […]

Please, blog, may I have some more? Mark Reynolds, 2010 Fantasy Baseball
October 23, 2009 | Fantasy Baseball Keepers | 70 Commentsby: Grey
In the 2009 preseason, I looked at Mark Reynolds and saw a bargain. He stole bases and hit homers. I figured the rest would sort itself out. It did. In a big way. On his way to celebrating the bi-whifftennial, Reynolds hit a career high in homers, steals, RBIs, Runs… Knocked down 7 consecutive bulls […]

Pitching recap will begin next. (NOTE: The end of the season rankings are based on ESPN’s Player Rater. I felt the easiest way to keep […]

Gone over the catchers, 1st basemen, 2nd basemen, shortstops and 3rd basemen. Guess what’s next! The title might have gave it away. With the top 20 outfielders a pattern emerges. Steroids can be tested for, but Red Bull can’t. It was the summer of speed and somewhere Ron LeFlore smiles. Since outfield is a deep […]
