Yield to Zack Greinke’s Warning Signs

Hoping he can be their number two behind Clayton Kershaw, The Los Angeles Dodgers’ handed Zack Greinke a monster contract that closed in on $150 million over six years. So far, 2013 hasn’t gone as planned for either party. Before the season, Greinke dealt with an elbow issue, but managed to seemingly dodge a bullet. He avoided the disabled list and was able...
Todd Frazier Is Stepping It Up
After a somewhat quietly impressive rookie season, Todd Frazier was enduring a bit of a sophomore slump until about a week ago. He started off the season off but plateaued at around six home runs despite hitting in one of the best ballparks in the league and hitting in one of the best lineups as well. It is unfortunate that Dusty Baker refuses to hit Frazier ahead of Joey Votto and...
10 Players Due For Regression
Some guys have started out 2013 like there is no tomorrow. Two pitchers have already won 10 games this year while some unheralded players have burst onto the scene. The baseball season is usually one known for having peaks and valleys, and even though I love seeing some unknown guys tear it up, I can’t help but think it’s not going to last forever. I’m not going to call the...
Zack Wheeler and Wil Myers: Buy Now?
Tuesday marks the big league debut of two of baseball’s most exciting prospects: Zack Wheeler and Wil Myers.
Both Wheeler and Myers were high first-round talents drafted in 2009, Myers slipped to the third round due to perceived bonus demands. Despite, or perhaps because of, their elite amateur statuses both Wheeler and Myers were traded for established major league All-Stars before...
Cusp Dwellers: Houston Astros in the PCL

We have all read enough about George Springer to satiate our “who’s the next Mike Trout?” fix for the time being. And while Springer might indeed get thrown to the wolves in short order, the two Astros farmhands acquired in the Hunter Pence trade with Philadelphia back in 2011 deserve immediate attention as well: right-handed pitcher Jarred Cosart...
Make a Move - ESPN Fantasy Baseball
Yesterday we looked at the top Fantasy Baseball players available in the majority of Yahoo leagues and ended up with a list of 80 players with at least 200 points. Today we are looking at ESPN free agents and the list has shrunk to just 51 players, which was expected, even with the extra day for players to reach our point goal. table.tableizer-table { border: 1px solid #CCC...
Not Silky Smooth – Brian Dozier

Brian Dozier should not be on your fantasy baseball team. But if you are stuck in an AL Only league with 12 teams, you might just have him on your bench as an emergency option. If you find yourself in that position, this might just help you squeeze some value out of him.
Before the 2012 season began not many fans (even among the most tuned in...
Fantasy Stock Watch: Anthony Rendon, Jose Altuve
Hourick The fantasy stock report is a weekly article that will provide insight on particular hitters or pitchers whose stock is either rising or falling based on recent performances. This week we will take a look at two 2nd baseman Anthony Rendon and Jose Altuve. Bullish: Anthony RendonAnthony Rendon can handle a bat. The problem with Anthony is his ability to stay healthy...
Get To Know Him - Jeff Locke
The Pittsburgh Pirates have not had a winning season since 1992 but things are starting to look much brighter in Pittsburgh. Last year the Pirates flirted with a winning record, but had a rough September and finished 79-83. So far in 2013, the Pirates are 42-29 and seem like legitimate contenders in the NL Central division. Aside from the talented young hitters like Andrew McCutchen...
2013 Fantasy Baseball, The Daily Fix: June 19, 2013
Yesterday was Wil Myers/Zack Wheeler day. At least the hurler held up his end of the bargain as he got off his big league career to a nice start. Prospects are always exciting at all levels of fantasy baseball, but particularly on the daily side of the coin. They always start off at rock bottom prices, but as we have seen with Yusiel Puig, that doesn’t last long.
Today, I’m playing...

Philadelphia Phillies Activate John Lannan, Disable Jeremy Horst
The Philadelphia Phillies have activated left-handed starter John Lannan from the 15-day disabled list after having missed two months due to a strained left quad. The 28-year-old will return to the Philadelphia rotation.
To make room on the active roster for Lannan, the Phillies have placed left-handed reliever Jeremy Horst on the 15-day disabled list due to a left elbow strain....
Detroit Tigers Place C Alex Avila On Disabled List, Other Moves
The Detroit Tigers have had to place catcher Alex Avila on the 15-day disabled list due to a deep contusion of his left forearm after being hit by a pitch over the weekend.
Bryan Holaday was recalled from Triple-A Toledo to take Avila’s spot on the active roster, although it will be Brayan Pena who should get most of the playing time.
There is no reason to believe that Avila will...
Cleveland Indians Option RHP Matt Langwell
Right-handed reliever Matt Langwell has been optioned by the Cleveland Indians to Triple-A Columbus despite a solid 2.08 ERA over a four-game span in the majors.
In need of a hitter because of the absense of Nick Swisher, the Indians will likely replace Langwell with a bat. That of course is just speculation.

Baltimore Orioles Option RHP Jake Arrieta
The Baltimore Orioles have optioned right-handed starter Jake Arrieta to their Triple-A Norfolk minor league farm club.
Replacing him on the roster will be Zach Britton, who will be the starter Tuesday for the Orioles.

But better late than never and here is the final blind resume!The other day I looked at two starting pitchers who had very similar numbers. Today I move to the bullpen...

2013 Fantasy Baseball, Plate Discipline: Second Basemen
We are coming to another edition of the plate discipline series. The second base edition demonstrates the fluid nature of this entire series. First basemen seemed to struggle to make contact as a group, but the opposite will be true here. It is likely because first base is more of an all or nothing position where second basemen typically hit for less power.
When your game is built...
Make a Move - Yahoo Fantasy Baseball
Yahoo Fantasy Sports always seems to be behind the ball with player owned percentages. This is both a gift and a curse. It leads you to believe that a lot of quality fantasy players are available, but typically the players in your league are smarter than the average Yahoo player. There must be a ton of free fantasy leagues that go untouched after drafting. Let's take...
