Fantasy Baseball Draft Prep: Josh Hamilton

Josh Hamilton had a career season in 2012-- a .285 average 43 HR, 128 RBI, 103 R and 7 SB-- that no one seems to be talking about. Instead, there is a lot of focus on his second-half swoon and his sour departure from Texas. Fact check: his second half was a drop-off, but not […]

Fantasy Baseball Draft Prep: Jose Altuve

Jose Altuve is coming off a solid first full season that saw him bat .290 with 80 R and 33 SB. Those are very solid numbers for a 22-year-old player who had just 221 AB before the start of 2012, especially in the pitiful Houston Astros lineup, and we saw that Altuve is a very […]

Several years ago he came into the league with too much hype, and too many people expected him to put up numbers similar to the late-1990s […]

BUT he can still contribute to your fantasy success, and has the potential to be a 2013 sleeper. Frazier […]

Fantasy Baseball Draft Prep: Salvador Perez

  This year’s catching pool has a lot of enticing players-- players that make you think you know something more than other owners and that you are about to steal a sleeper. Mid-career players who you imagine are going to put it all together and break out ::cough:: Matt Wieters ::cough::. Young players who could […]
