We already made two trades in this league, so keep that in mind. You want me to tell you the trades up front? You and those dimples! Okay, I’ll tell you. We traded… Here it comes… Wait for it… Wait, where did it go? Oh, here it is. We traded Pena for The Dread Pirate. […]

Sometimes when a player gets hurt, I feel bad if I told you to buy into them. I’m like, “Shove your emotions into your cankles, you sissy!” Alas, my inner Native American watching someone litter in a 70’s commercial comes out. A tear forms in my eye and rolls into my mustache. Then I leave […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Like many of you, I cut my fantasy baseball teeth on snake-drafting 10-12 team mixed leagues.* But I’ve found that, to paraphrase Spinal Tap, the looser the league’s Free Agent waistband, the deeper the quicksand I get into. I’d lose a closer to injury only to find that some joker on the West Coast picked […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Wondering what the ‘experts’ think about Colby Lewis – aka the biggest American phenom to appreciate its value in Japan since Cecil Fielder and Cheap Trick? Should you expect a Cecil Fielder-sized ERA or will he surrender few enough runs and baserunners that you’ll want to want him? Visit this week’s roundtable @ FantasyPros911 – […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Miguel Montero is out with a torn meniscus. I can think of other cuss words that his owners may be thinking right now. A knee problem seems like a bad thing for a guy who’s supposed to be crouching for 9 innings. Like a can’t-Catch 22. Montero was a popular sleeper pick to enter the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Now’s the time that you realize your fantasy season is over and you start trading everyone to get Vernon Wells, because you think it’s the old Vernon, who didn’t steal 100 mil from the Blue jays. Come on, seriously. This is a marathon, not a walk to the fridge. As I previously stated SP is […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?J.J. Hardy is an easy buy, which isn’t the same as an easy sell. Hardy’s not exactly promoting a yum-yum juicy chicken burger with a side of 30 homers and 20 steals. He’s cheap. His expectations are low. He’s 27-years-old and averaged 83/25/77/.280 at 24 and 25. Last year, he didn’t tune and check out […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The Rangers bullpen costing C.J. Wilson the win is like ten thousand spoons and all you need is a knife. Maybe Frank-Frank didn’t like Wilson cutting into his save chances last year. I was skeptical of Wilson moving into the rotation. I said to myself, “Grey, you’re handsome.” Wait, wrong conversation. I remember it now. […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Stealing is like borrowing until it becomes permanent. I don’t steal; it’s immoral, reprehensible and I’m really out of shape so I’d probably get caught. The fact of the matter is that these guys aren’t for everyone. They shouldn’t be, but they will give you the all coveted stat: steals. These players should only be […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Clayton Kershaw went 4 and two-thirds innings, giving up three earned and 11 baserunners. Six of those ducks on the pond were walks. That’s 1-2-3-4-5-6 walks. Versus the Pirates. A team that had a .318 OBP last year. Sure, this year they’re starting with Robot Jones, “I must kill the Queen,” but c’mon. How did […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?Dallas Braden has 200 major league innings under his belt and his K/9 IP is a little bit over 5. In 180 IP, that’s 100 Ks. In other words, not good. In other other words, blech. In other other other words, there is no such thing as other other other words. Dallas’s 10 Ks is […]
