If the Twins closer shituation were any crazier, it would be called Jeff Reardon. For right now, grab Jon Rauch or Matt Guerrier. In that order. Where you can, own both. Mijares, Crain, and Neshek are longer shots. They don’t seem very likely to get first or second crack. As for Joe Nathan… Well, Nathan’s […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?There’s no Reyes, Rollins or Hanley on this list of shortstops. This list is guys that can be had later in your drafts if you’ve punted shortstop or are still looking for a middle infielder. Look at this as a supplement to the top 20 shortstops of 2010 fantasy baseball. If you’re feeling especially industrious, […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?Some of these guys will be on waivers if you don’t draft them, so does that mean you shouldn’t draft them?

Please, blog, may I have some more?Who is Jose Reyes — your great auntie who huffs and puffs to the mailbox in hopes the Cake of the Month Club package arrived?

Please, blog, may I have some more?This post is not meant to scream fire in the theater of Razzball. I’m not saying don’t draft these guys. I’m not unfriending them. (I would hide all of their stupid Mafia Wars updates. Okay, quick rant, I have a friend who emailed everyone that he just had a kid. Yay for him, I know. […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?What’s quirkier than a relief pitcher? I’ll tell you what: a stubborn 3-legged beagle. Success as a set-up reliever is so overlooked in real life baseball as well as fake life baseball.

Please, blog, may I have some more?The murmurs of Heath Bell getting traded to another team by July are getting louder. (BTW, I love the word murmurs. I really wanted the survivors on Lost to call The Others, The Murmurs. Wouldn’t that have been awesome?! Okay, maybe me.) Prepare for a dozen or so posts titled, “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” […]
