Max Scherzer has been almost exactly the same pitcher the last three years. He pitches around a 3.75 xFIP then fights Nazis in the offseason. (He sure is limber for being thousands of years old, made of mud and having two different color eyes!) I say almost because his strikeout rate fell a tad in […]

Well, that took care of the hitters. They’re done. That cake is done. Unless you count Utility-only players, the Hall of Fame committee doesn’t count them, not sure why you do. Maybe you like players so unathletic that they can’t even play first. You deal with your own hang-ups, ‘kay? Now we look at the top […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Okay, the truth was bound to come out. I’m really Mike Scioscia. All of that self-deprecating crap — or self-decrapacating, if you like portmanteaus — was just to throw you off the scent. Ooh, I’m a Sciosciapath! Phooey on the hullabalooey! Ooh, I hate Mike Napoli, but have “Grey” tell you he likes him. C’mon, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I’m no Nostradumbass, but I’m telling you there’s not going to be a whole lot of greatness coming out of this post. We’re Cousteau deep right now. The first tier have some nice flyers that you may drop after a week or so and the other schmohawks in this post are, well, schmohawks. So all […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Brad Peacock isn’t even ranked in the top 150 starters for CBS. Then again they have Javier Vazquez ranked 47th overall and he retired, so there’s that. Here’s what I said when he was traded to the A’s, “Peacock had a great season in Double- and Triple-A last year, putting up a 2.39 ERA and […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?With more outfielders than random hairs growing from my grandfather’s ear, we take it to the top 60 outfielders for 2012 fantasy baseball. And, just like your grandfather’s ear hair, a lot of these guys are gross. I don’t know what happened to the outfielders, they just went and got ugly. You look at Ryan […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Traditionally, the backstop has been a bitter bane of the fantasy owner’s existence. Owners either spent mega-dollars on one of the heavy hitters at the position or contented themselves to spend the season with a Kurt-Suzuki–sized hole in their lineups. The mayhem came to a crescendo a few years back when Joe Mauer’s ADP crept […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?After the top 20 outfielders for 2012 fantasy baseball, guess what we have here? The top something-something’s? Cute, random italicized voice. We have the top 40 outfielders for 2012 fantasy baseball. That’s right, Wonderful just gave birth to Awesome. Wanna hear something even awesomier? I’m going to turn this to 60 then 80. Hopefully I […]

Today, we turn our bejeweled eyeglasses to the top 20 outfielders for 2012 fantasy baseball. The top twenty outfielders will need to go to a top 40 then a top 60 then a top […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Something tells me Leyland’s cigarettes tasted especially good today. Prince Fielder one-upped his hatred of his dad by signing with the Tigers. Now all of those Cecil fans that held onto his old jersey will look like they’re Prince fans. Detroit’s Father’s Day funtivities sure will be a tearjerker. I can’t wait for the soon-to-be-announced Soderbergh […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Verducci calls this the Year-After Effect. Maybe he’s too modest for Verducci Effect. Maybe he’s worried his readers will confuse eponymous with Aesop. Maybe he should change his name to Humblebrag. His newest list went live last week. It’s here. The most interesting thing about it is how after a year the accuracy can be […]
