This past week, I made a trade in one of my leagues. I traded Yoshinobu Yamamoto for Adolis Garcia and Ryan O'Hearn in a redraft league. When I told a few people of the trade I made, they thought that I overpaid for the hitters. Trades should not be looked at in a vacuum and […]

One of the things I noticed when compiling this week's list of injured players is the number of injuries related to the oblique muscle. Also known as "side pain/discomfort," this muscle is located on both sides of our bodies, basically between the hip and the armpit. They are also close to the lower abdomen as […]

Fantasy Baseball Injury Report - Week 10 Updates for Yordan Alvarez, Nick Kurtz, Hunter Greene, Mark Vientos, Corbin Burnes, Michael King, Pablo Lopez
This past week has not been a good week for pitchers and injuries. It seems like pitchers were getting hurt more often than position players. In general, pitchers have a higher landing rate on the IL than hitters. The question is how to deal with it, and that is an overall strategy question/answer and not […]

Memorial Day has come and gone. We are at the part of the MLB season when flukes are no longer flukes, and slumps are not just considered short-term things. Only so long could a player be overachieving or failing to meet his own historical standards. This is also the time when our fantasy standards start […]

As the baseball season rolls along, players are added to and taken off the IL. Sometimes, players are added to the IL rather quickly, while others take a few days to try to "get over" the issue without landing on the IL. Usually, starting pitchers go on the IL quickly, while hitters and relief pitchers […]

The fantasy season is now more than six weeks old. What we think as maybe a short-term deficiency on our rosters may be long-term issues. Benching underperforming players and picking up players who are hot is one way to try to help your team. Another way to help your roster is to consider making some […]

As the weather warms up, so does baseball season. We are starting to see who will be the breakthrough players this year and who will slump.
