Not sure how this happened, folks, but in less than a week it’s gonna be September! I’ve said it again and again, but why stop now… even if you’re out of the running for a title in your deeper league(s), this is not the time to tune out completely. The more we observe now, the […]

What a difference a week makes. Since we last chatted, we’ve had one of the best middle infielders in each league become suddenly unavailable to their fantasy owners, and what’s followed has been, if not life imitating art, at least the fantasy community imitating major league baseball. Jonathan Aranda, Osleivis Basabe, Vaughn Grissom, and Nicky […]

Wake up, my friends! I am experiencing first-hand how difficult it can be to stay focused on a disappointing fantasy baseball team or two, especially when presented with alternate activities like hitting the beach, heading out on a family vacation, or preparing for a soon-to-happen football draft. But I’ll once again say to myself and […]

The trade deadline has come and gone, and overall I think the transactions that preceded it did more to hurt my fantasy teams than to help them as we storm into August. I’m also realizing that because the deadline is later than it used to be, it feels like we have more time left in […]

I don’t know about you, but now that we’re in the throes of summer, keeping as mentally focused as I should be to stay on top of several fantasy baseball leagues is getting more and more difficult, even for those teams that are doing well. Whether you’re on a frivolous vacation or working hard, whether […]

The All Star Break is a weird thing… everyone loves some time off, but it can really mess with your momentum. That often seems to be the case in real-life baseball, and a handful of players have looked a little dazed and confused now that action has resumed. Mitch Keller and Lucas Giolito, for instance, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?So in honor of the All Star break, which is just beginning as I write this before heading off the grid with the family for a few days, and will be just ending by the time you read this, I thought I’d take this opportunity to see which players made the biggest leaps in value […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Well deep-league friends, we’ve made it to July, and I for one am finally feeling like things are starting to stabilize a bit, at least when it comes to starting pitching in several of my fantasy leagues. Finally, a couple of gems turned in by the likes of Aaron Nola and Joe Musgrove, and on […]

Well, we’ve made it, friends — we’ve officially just passed the halfway point of the season. While we may still see a few Marcus Semien-in-2022-esque turnarounds, I think we’re beyond the point of being able to blame our teams’ struggles on a handful of players getting off to a bad start, and our team’s strengths […]

Happy Summer, friends! Even though the season may have just officially arrived, that means we’re suddenly very, very close to the halfway point of the MLB season. While the upcoming All Star break is obviously a convenient time to take a step back and regroup as a fantasy owner, why not get a jump on […]

Happy Friday all, and we’ll open with a question: quick, without thinking, who’s leading the AL in RBI this month? Well, I’m not even looking it up in case things have changed by the time you read this, but according the Houston Astros announcers as of Wednesday evening, it’s Jose Abreu. This fact is not […]

It’s been a big week of fantasy-league-affecting baseball news, what with high-profile promotions, injuries, demotions, and season-ending surgeries. If you rostered Elly de la Cruz, Aaron Judge, Alek Manoah, and Jacob deGrom, you’ve had a busy few days, and if you didn’t, congratulations on those last two dodged bullets. Each piece of big news has […]
