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 […]

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 […]

I’m done waiting for this trade to go official so here’s my unofficial take on Mike Lowell going to the Rangers and Max Ramirez going the other way. Mike Lowell has one more hip surgery than my grandmother, but she’s dead so it’s an unfair competition. She would’ve beat you, Mike Lowell! Why I think […]

The Rangers landed Rich Harden. Most years, Harden is all-tease, little reward. He missed 2006 and 2007 just about completely. Then he stayed healthy in 2008 and 2009, but you may as well put douche quotes around healthy because he never topped 150 innings. Harden’s healthy is two-thirds of a season. He goes to the […]

Edwin Jackson to the Diamondbacks, Curtis Granderson to the Yankees, Max Scherzer to the Tigers and Austin Jackson to obscurity with a new team. The Tigers couldn’t wait to move Edwin Jackson. Why, you may ponder if you ponder things like this. This is Edwin Jackson of a 2.52 ERA before the All-Star Game vs. […]

You may have noticed a pattern thus far with the fantasy baseball rookie posts, they’re mostly hitters. This is done on purpose. Hitters give you nothing and it’s a 3-for-50 line and you move on. A pitcher gives you nothing in the way of 5 IP, 10 ER and a 2.00 WHIP line and you […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It was the winter of 2002. The Anaheim Angels just won the franchise’s first World Series. Vlad Guerrero still had three working legs. And a speedster with the most improbable spelling of Shawn was the team’s tenth man. Seven years later, the Angels metaphorically moved the team to Los Angeles. Vlad runs like he’s auditioning […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Usually on Fridays the royal we brings you fantasy baseball keepers, but we interrupt your regularly scheduled programming for Jake Fox, the man who made the phrase “Unathletic like a fox” almost make sense. Looks like the Cubs decided to unload their DH since they play in the National League, sending Jake Fox and Aaron […]

Check out the catcher pool as it deepens. First, Wieters. Then Jesus Montero (I don’t plan on covering him. The Yankees are not the type of organization to turn over catching duties to a rookie enough to make an impact out of the starting gates in 2010.), Carlos Santana and Buster Posey. What’s next, a […]

I know what you were thinking when you saw the name Logan Morrison. Whatever happened to Nook Logan? Glad you asked. After he was named in the Mitchell Report under the sub-section, “Steroids Don’t Always Work,” he opened the “Change The Game Athletic Performance Enhancement, Motivational Speaking & Consulting.” (Center? Symposium? Corner store? C’mon, Nook, […]
