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 […]

Rolling In The Deep: Calmer Waters Ahead

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 […]

June 9, 2023 | 2023 Fantasy Baseball, Rolling In The Deep | 14 Commentsby: Laura Holt
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 […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Well, kids, June has arrived. It’s time for fantasy teams to get it into gear if they want to get to or stay at the top of the standings, but unfortunately, I feel like several of mine have been lazily idling instead. We still have several first or second round players who are struggling mightily, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy Memorial Day weekend, everyone! The end of May is always kind of a wake-up call for me when it comes to my fantasy teams, as it more or less marks the end of the first third of the season. Two months of baseball is enough, if nothing else, to see where your teams’ strengths […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hello friends, and I hope your fantasy baseball week is going better than mine is. I’ve had some particularly brutal Sonavabench! moments, and what on earth is going on with the horrible, horrible pitching?! I feel like not a day goes by where I don’t have a bad-to-vomit-inducing start from at least one SP plus […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Mid-May greetings, deep league friends! I hope the fantasy baseball gods are treating you and your teams well as we navigate yet another week of injuries and demotions. As we all know, in the deep league world there is often little to no waiver wire relief to fill the holes when we lose a Jose […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I thought we’d do something a little different this week… instead of highlighting a handful of potential deep-league pickups, let’s take a slightly more global view of the current state of fantasy baseball. There have already been more injuries, gut-punch demotions, and surprise breakouts than I can count, and sometimes we need to just take […]

Wow, how did it get to be the end of April? It seems like yesterday that we were counting the weeks until opening day, but here we are with almost a full month of baseball under our collective belt. In some of my leagues, it feels like just as I’m getting my rosters settled for […]
