Matt Holliday signed with the Cardinals after it became clear that no one else was signing him. Other than going to the Padres or A’s (again) or some other terrible team/park, I didn’t think it mattered much where Holliday signed. He is in the prime of his career and is what he is. A .315, […]

Punting catcher doesn’t mean you don’t want anything from your catcher spot. I don’t draft A.J. Pierzynski while waving a white flag. I just try and get value later on. Which brings us to Geovany Soto. Last year, Geovany Soto burned a whole lot of people who drafted a catcher early. Soto’s 2009 was off […]

Bay’s New Year’s Resolution, Drop 15 Homers
January 4, 2010 | 2010 Fantasy Baseball Draft | 31 Commentsby: Grey
Kick this post off with a little side note copulation. Big Stein had it all wrong when he called Dave Winfield, Mr. May. Jason Bay is Mr. May. From 2005 to 2009, he’s hit 9, 12, 4, 7 and 10 homers, respectively. Each May has been his biggest home run production month. Even in 2007 […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Man, a guy turns in a mediocre season when he’s a twenty-two year old rookie and people abandon him in flocks. Let’s recap what I said in the first sentence. In 474 at-bats, Colby Rasmus hit 16 homers and stole 3 bases. At the age of 22. Sure, it would’ve been nice if he burst […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I took part in my 3rd mock draft for 2010 fantasy baseball the other day. Tis the season, ya’ll. And by the other day, I mean I did this mock about three weeks ago prior to the winter meetings/signings/whosehewhiches. So if you’re wondering why I drafted Randy Wolf or Rodney, it’s because it’s before they […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Javier Vazquez heads to the Yankees. This should help the Yankees contend for a division– Oh, wait. They just won the World Series. Well, this should help a rotation that struggled– Oh, wait, they have Sabathia, Burnett, Pettitte, Joba, Hughes and now Javier Vazquez. Vazquez has already done the Yankee thing, putting up 14-10/4.91/1.29/150. Also, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The comments were shut off on the Position Eligibility for 2010 Fantasy Baseball post because that post was just listing players and their eligibility for 2010 fantasy baseball. Now, in this here post, we get down to business. Or bidness, if you mispronounce business. That business is pointing out players that gain some advantage by […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Position Eligibility for 2010 Fantasy Baseball
December 21, 2009 | 2010 Fantasy Baseball Draft, Fantasy Baseball Keepers |by: Grey
The 2010 fantasy baseball rankings are not as far away as you might think. Right now, January Grey is throwing darts at a board to figure out where to place Edwin Jackson. In the meantime, let’s look at the players who have multiple position eligibility for this upcoming 2010 fantasy baseball season. This took me […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Joey Votto, 2010 Fantasy Outlook
December 18, 2009 | Fantasy Baseball Keepers | 74 Commentsby: Grey
There’s very few 1st baseman I can see jumping into the top tiers for 2011, Joey Votto is one of them. This alone is reason for him to be a 2010 fantasy baseball keeper, but there’s more. Show me the way, Grey! I shall, random italicized voice! Last year, Votto missed games because of dizziness […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Next up, we have the award for Who’s Most Likely to Be the Mark Reynolds of 2010? The camera finds Chris Davis in the audience, grasping his Mom’s hand. The camera pans to Mat Gamel, who’s fumbling with his drink. Finally, the camera lands on Ian Stewart seated next to a mini donkey. And the […]

December 15, 2009 | 2010 Fantasy Baseball Draft | 96 Commentsby: Grey
With ace-of-the-staff years dating back to 2002, Roy Halladay was the franchise. Well, the Blue Jays front office gave the Blue Jays fans the kanye shrug. While most pitchers go from good to great or great to mindblowing in the NL, Halladay will have to deal with Citizens Bank. He doesn’t have much history to […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Sometimes guys are so obviously sleepers that it makes them overrated and consequently sleeper sells. This happened in last year’s preseason to Chris Davis. By the time we’re all drafting in 2010, Jay Bruce may fall into that category. I tend to think he won’t because he was clearly terrible last year when you look […]
