Champ or Chump: Edinson Volquez & Justin Smoak

Fantasy owners frequently limit their knowledge of the MLB player pool to only those who may be interesting from a fantasy perspective. Guys who stay in the majors without producing fantasy-relevant stats are generally assumed to have retired until we see them in a game. At that point, we say, "Player X is still active!?" […]

Strikeout Rate Risers and Fallers for Week 10: Buy or Sell?

Missing bats is the #1 way a pitcher can control his own fate. If hitters make contact, the pitcher is largely at the mercy of the atmosphere, the weather, the ball park, the ability/work ethic of his fielders, and sometimes just sheer luck. This is ultimately why strikeouts are so important. By looking at pitchers […]

Buy or Sell - Underowned and Overowned Players for Week 11

The grass isn't always greener on the other side. My uncle used to tell me that all the time. Then again, he was color blind so I'm not sure how sage that advice really was. A change of scenery doesn't always make for positive results, at least not right away. This week, we'll look at […]

Week 10 Waiver Wire: Catchers

As far as catchers go, this season's been more confusing than the New York weather so far. They get hot for a brief bit and then get cold again just as quickly.

Champ or Chump: Whit Merrifield & Marco Estrada

At this point of the season, available players tend to fall into one of two categories. The first is a breakout performer on a weaker club no one is paying attention to, such as Whit Merrifield of the Kansas City Royals. The second is a boring veteran player who seems to be performing as he […]

Week 10 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

I can’t tell if it feels like this season has been going on for six months or just six days. Everything still feels rather topsy-turvy with the increased turnover due to the 10-day DL, but I suppose that just leaves room for more intrigue and new characters to enter the limelight. For this week’s post, […]
