If you search for fantasy baseball, the first result is Fantasy Baseball ESPN. (We’re first for fantasy baseball blog. Natch! Or natchurally, if you’re a completist.) But this isn’t about fantasy baseball ESPN. When people find us, they are not searching for fantasy baseball ESPN. But what are they searching for when they find us? […]

Jason Heyward, 2010 Fantasy Outlook
November 24, 2009 | Fantasy Baseball Rookies | 41 Commentsby: Grey
Excitement froth from my mouth last year when I wrote, “Jason Heyward, besides having the surname of a 1930s matinee idol, has the mitts of a Yeti and the sturdies (<– that’s legs) of Frank Thomas. His man gams are 117% oak. Heyward just saved your life and you didn’t even know you were in […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Neftali Feliz, 2010 Fantasy Outlook
November 23, 2009 | Fantasy Baseball Rookies | 54 Commentsby: Grey
In our ongoing 2010 fantasy baseball rookie look, we bring you a name I went over as recently as August in a Neftali Feliz keeper post. Thank you for reading from The Department of Redundancy Department! Because he still falls in the rookie category (under 50 innings pitched), I must, I must increase my Neftali […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Grady Sizemore, 2010 Fantasy Baseball
November 20, 2009 | Fantasy Baseball Keepers | 106 Commentsby: Grey
Grady Sizemore had arthroscopic surgery on his left elbow back in September. It was deemed a success and here we are a little under ten weeks later and the team says he’s near 100%. I’m not a doctor, but my first instincts are to say the team is lying. That’s the way I like to […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Carlos Santana, 2010 Fantasy Outlook
November 19, 2009 | Fantasy Baseball Rookies | 56 Commentsby: Grey
Carlos Santana is getting a 2010 fantasy baseball rookie post because I know people will ask about him. See, I’m psychic. BTW, I wouldn’t bring in the mail today. Just a bunch of bills and a 20% off coupon for Bed, Bath and Beyond. Carlos Santana is the catcher prospect the Dodgers traded to the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Brandon Allen, 2010 Fantasy Outlook
November 17, 2009 | Fantasy Baseball Rookies | 57 Commentsby: Grey
Last year, Brandon Allen treaded his six-two, two-hundred and thirty-five pound man-gams through Double- and Triple-A before hitting the majors in August. And by hitting the majors, I don’t mean hitting in the majors. As Lil Jon once said in grade school, I come correct with my prepositions, okaaaay!!!!! In the minors in 2009, Allen […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Desmond Jennings, 2010 Fantasy Outlook
November 16, 2009 | Fantasy Baseball Rookies | 49 Commentsby: Grey
Last year, Desmond Jennings won the Rays Minor League Player of the Year honors. In Double and Triple-A in 2009, Desmond Jennings had a slash line of .305/.391/.457 while chucking in 11 homers. You might be thinking it was a slow year in the Rays organization. Yeah, the opposite is true here, friend. Jennings stole […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Sometime in 2009 it finally clicked in the collective Pirates brain that they needed to stop playing for now since they weren’t playing well for now anyway. And with that kernel of “ah-ha,” the Pirates sent McLousy off the plank and ushered in Andrew McCutchen, The Dread Pirate. The Dread Pirate proceeded to climb to […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Mike Stanton, 2010 Fantasy Outlook
November 12, 2009 | Fantasy Baseball Rookies | 43 Commentsby: Grey
First, I looked for anecdotal evidence on Mr. Stanton. I found in 2007 the Red Sox offered to trade Manny to the Marlins, while paying his salary, for Mike Stanton. The Marlins obviously refused. Interesting, but the last time Marlins traded a prospect for a big name was exactly never. Still, the Marlins (along with […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Stephen Strasburg, 2010 Fantasy Outlook
November 10, 2009 | Fantasy Baseball Rookies | 46 Commentsby: Grey
This is what I’m hoping for… You know how in different cities — really just Philly, but I want it in different cities — there’s a core group of fans for a certain player and they personalize it with their own touch? For instance, there was Padilla’s Flotilla, which saw fans paddling around in sombreros… […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?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 […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? 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 […]
