David Price is the favorite player for Tampa-area Jews until they promote Ben L’Chaim from Double-A. They like to invite Price to mahjong games then haggle over him. All true. Oy. Last year, David Price raised his K-rate, lowered his walk rate, knocked a run and a half off his ERA and won nineteen games. […]

Jesus Montero, 2011 Fantasy Outlook
December 2, 2010 | Fantasy Baseball Rookies | 79 Commentsby: Grey
At some point in the near future, you knew I was going to put Jesus Montero on your fantasy radar. Well, here we are. The first big question is, are the Yankees handing over catching duties to a rookie who can’t catch? As Jacques Cousteau might’ve said, I can’t fathom it. The Yankees were thinking […]

Don’t cha love how the Rays are one of the best teams in the major leagues and their minor league system is stacked and no one cares? I’d say that the Rays have more pure baseball fans than any other club, but we all know pure baseball fans live in K.C., eat BBQ and listen […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Martinez To Smoke Comerican Spirits With Leyland
November 29, 2010 | 2011 Fantasy Baseball Draft | 35 Commentsby: Grey
I was in no rush to review the signing of Victor Martinez by the Detroit Tigers. No, it wasn’t all the tryptophan. Players going to a new club that won’t change their fantasy value doesn’t really float my boat. So let’s talk about what’s really on my mind, what a crock of shizz Paranormal Activity […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?If you search for fantasy baseball, the first result is Yahoo Fantasy Baseball. (We’re first for fantasy baseball blog. Natch! Or natchurally, if you’re long-winded.) But this isn’t about Yahoo fantasy baseball. (Is Yahoo always with an exclamation mark? Yahoo has a volume problem, huh?) When people find us, they are not searching for Yahoo […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Domonic Brown, 2011 Fantasy Outlook
November 23, 2010 | Fantasy Baseball Rookies | 68 Commentsby: Grey
Let’s start with what I said a few months ago, “This year in the minors Domonic Brown had a line of 65/20/68/.327/17 and .391/.589/.980. Let’s recap, whoa/wow/nice/yum-yum/don’t mind if I do and yowsers/that’s lovely/yowsersthat’slovely. To break that down for the people who skimmed the first two sentences, he has 20/20 potential with plate discipline. It’s […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Aroldis Chapman, 2011 Fantasy Outlook
November 22, 2010 | Fantasy Baseball Rookies | 39 Commentsby: Grey
I’m not sure anyone can hit Aroldis Chapman. For a pitcher, that’s a pretty good thing. If you speak street, he be fire on Crunk Juice. He can throw the ball faster than Bob Feller on a motorcycle. Fidel Castro used to karaoke Sublime by singing, “I don’t practice Santeria, I can’t see Aroldis’ fastball.” […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I’m taking a break from telling you some obvious guys are keepers (Joey Votto is a keeper?! Get outta town, Grey!) to tell you Jhoulys Chacin is a keeper in some leagues. No, he’s not a keeper in 12 team mixed leagues if you’re choosing between him and Halladay (unless Halladay will cost you $75). […]

November 18, 2010 | 2011 Fantasy Baseball Draft | 49 Commentsby: Grey
After realizing the 20% off Bed, Bath & Beyond coupon wasn’t redeemable for slugging 2nd basemen, the Marlins parted ways with Dan Uggla. Now the Marlins have cut loose all the major objectors to Hanley Ramirez’s lack of hustle. “Yo, I walk with a pimp limp so I can save my energy for when MTV […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Freddie Freeman, 2011 Fantasy Outlook
November 16, 2010 | Fantasy Baseball Rookies | 113 Commentsby: Grey
For Freddie Freeman, let’s start with what Stephen had to say earlier this year, “Turning 21 in a little over a month, Freeman has consistently hit the ball well with his “sweet, fluid swing.” He currently displays doubles power, but scouts believe this gap power should, and will translate to more home runs (seems to […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Danny Espinosa, 2011 Fantasy Outlook
November 15, 2010 | Fantasy Baseball Rookies | 8 Commentsby: Grey
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 […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Mike Moustakas, 2011 Fantasy Outlook
November 15, 2010 | Fantasy Baseball Rookies | 21 Commentsby: Grey
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 […]
