It hasn’t been easy owning Matt Wieters this year. After a monster April (.279 / 6 HR / 15 RBI), he had an Arencibian May (.188 / 2 HR / 7 RBI). All the while, catchers on the waiver wire like A.J. Pierzynski and Ryan Doumit were hitting great. So it had to be sweet […]

Oakland Athletics: After surrendering 3 baserunners and 3 runs in a blown save Friday, Brian Fuentes is out of the 9th in Oakland. He no longer misses bats; he owns a solid 9.38 career K/9 with a 11.3% swinging strike rate, but his 2012 numbers check in at a much less impressive 6.45 K/9, supported […]

Ichiro Suzuki is the epitome of public enemy. In OPS leagues, there are two kinds of SAGNOFs: those who destroy your OPS and those who only have a minimal impact. Ichiro (and every sub .700 OPS player) is the former. Two of the main reasons people have loved him are his batting average and his […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?We all need a little wonder, so let me pose a question to you after this clunky intro. Was Matt Cain‘s perfect game the best one game pitching performance in major league history? I pose that question to you, young prematurely balding man, not to answer. Remember, I can’t hear you, unless you scream louder […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hmm… That title doesn’t sound right. It’s like when your mom asks you why your bed sheets are all crusty and you’re like, “It’s dried glue.” Same embarrassment, different therapist to discuss it with. So Nick, Rudy and myself got together yesterday and did a little pop and chat. We’re not poppin’ and squatting. We’re […]

Jorge Soler and Andrew Chafin: Scouting the Unknown
June 13, 2012 | Fantasy Baseball Prospects | 14 Commentsby: Scott Evans
Jorge Soler | OF, Cubs | Born: 2/25/1992 On Monday, the Cubs finalized terms with Cuban outfield prospect Jorge Soler. The $30 million contract will span nine years, and on the front-end, it appears to be a fantastic deal for the Cubs. The long term nature of the signing puts zero pressure on Chicago to […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Clay Buchholz went down to Miami and, like most visiting Northeasterns, retired….Marlin batters that is! While his 7-2 record is due to Nova-esque luck and run support vs. year to date performance (5.00+ ERA), this is his 4th straight start of 7+ IP, 2 ER or less, and 6+ K. Maybe there’s some truth to […]

Pitcher Profile: Chris Capuano’s Release Point Goes To Guano
June 12, 2012 | Pitcher Profiles | 13 Commentsby: JB Gilpin
Pretty much all I got from the Ace Ventura sequel was a hilarious scene with a robotic rhino and what guano was. Jim Carrey is such a teacher. Just as Ace Ventura cornered the pet detective racket, so has Dr. James Andrews the Tommy John surgery profession. Chris Capuano is due to receive a free […]

It could be said that Mark Fidrych had the briefest, most spectacular pitching career in the history of baseball. He was 21 when he made the roster of the Detroit Tigers in 1976. He did not make his first start until May 15th that year, and then only because the starting pitcher was out with […]

Someone Will Be Out Named Morrow
June 12, 2012 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes | 459 Commentsby: Grey
Brandon Morrow left yesterday’s game with an oblique injury that was considered substantial. Sounds like he’s headed to the DL. I’d gloat, but then he’ll return in three days and hit .400 for a month with little power. I’d say I told you to sell Morrow, but no one likes an “I told you so.” […]

We have a new leader atop the Master standings! Pig Charmer (Grunge Ball — RCL 16) completed the march to the top that began in 29th place 3 weeks ago. Beardcrabs (The Gaylords — Conshellation Prize) moved up 5 spots while Gobias Industries (Cust Kayin’) gained 11 positions to sit tied in 2nd, 1 back […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Don’t pay for steals. Why? Because they can be found on the wire during the season. As an example, the leaders in stolen bases, from 2009-2011: Michael Bourn – 174 Carl Crawford – 125 Juan Pierre – 125 Mystery Man – 125 Brett Gardner – 122 Brett Gardner hasn’t played since April 17, isn’t expected […]
