Prior to landing on Danny Espinosa in this 2011 rookie series, I almost wrote about Brandon Belt, but I need to see exactly where Belt straps into the lineup. (See what I did there? Yeah, I’m not sure either. (Oh, and I may still write about Belt if the Giants commit to him.)) Here’s what […]

Hey, Royals, you’re stupid. Call up, Mike Moustakas. Okay, with that out of the way, let’s figure out who Moustakas is and will be. Last year, he spent time at Double and Triple-A. Not at the same time, that would be some Multiplicity shizz. In 484 ABs, he hit 36 homers and batted .322. As […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?This will probably be the last time you hear me talk positively about Carlos Gonzalez. He’s going to be overrated next year. (Well, that positive stuff was short-lived.) There’s no way around it. But, for one last time, let’s live in the moment and assume you drafted him around the 10th round last year. That […]

Are crazy. That’s continuing on the title. They are just nuts. Like the guy who stands on a milk crate carrying a giant sign about the apocalypse crazy. The room Bill James once shared with Chris Davis has a few new occupants. Ryan Kalish’s line is 94/20/82/.271/43 in 582 ABs. That reminds me of this […]

A quick preamble about the 2011 fantasy rookie series that is coming all this month. Rookies are picked through MLB eligibility requirements, less than 130 ABs or 50 IP. There’s no Eric Young Jr, no Ryan Kalish, no Peter Bourjos etc. etc. etc. Okay, with that shizz out of the way, let’s get down to […]

With the the top 20 closers for 2010 fantasy baseball, we’ve finished our recap of the 2010 fantasy baseball rankings. Some will feel like it came too soon, others will think let’s get 2011 under way already! Whichever camp you fall in, don’t eat cherimoya seeds, they are poisonous. This is our final look back. […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I sit in a circle of a overweight men. One guy’s nervously tapping his foot, waiting to go for a cigarette break. Another guy is downing doughnuts like there’s no “ugh” in them. We all, obviously, have mustaches. Everyone but me wears a Mets hat. The guy next to me finishes his story about how […]

So, 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 Carlos Gonzalez for 2011. We’ve gone over the final 2010 fantasy baseball rankings for hitters and the top 20 starters. There’s only one of these godforsaken recap […]

All the final 2010 fantasy baseball rankings for hitters is done. For those that skipped today’s title, this starts the top 20 starters for 2010 fantasy baseball. This is NOT for 2011 (caps for those still wearing their Piranha 3-D glasses). This is a recap. Will these affect next year’s rankings? Sure. But not entirely. […]

Travis Snider hit .155 in April and nearly lost his starting job. Where the OBP was solid in the minors, it abandoned him. Nothing was working. Then in May, he turned things around hitting .378. Gaston giveth time, Snider giveth power and OBP until he hurt his wrist and went to the 15-day DL for […]

With the top 40 outfielders, we’ve finished all the hitter recaps. We meaning me, but I’ll include you. No, that’s not a cue to try to hold my hand. (Here’s all the final 2010 fantasy baseball rankings. They’re also to your left… your other left. And down.) The pitching recap will begin next. To recap, […]

Went over the catchers, 1st basemen, 2nd basemen and shortstops and top 20 3rd basemen for 2010. Guess what’s next! No, not pitchers. Read the title, man. With the top 20 outfielders, a pattern emerges. Steroids can be tested for, but Red Bull can’t. There were only 6 outfielders to hit 30 homers and 2 […]
