Week 16 is a doozy, spanning 10 days, making many pitchers "two-start" guys and keeping us on our feet right after the All-Star break.

For certain players, the second half is almost like a whole different season. Players who disappointed for months on end may suddenly catch fire, while players who have seen surprising success may fall back to Earth in a hard way.

With the natural break of the All-Star Game, we’re going to take a slightly different approach with this column.

With the Fourth of July now behind us, some great closers will be declaring their independence from their not-great teams soon. That should throw the fantasy world for a nice little spin. It's still early in July though, and the deadline doesn't come until the 31st. Closers will keep closing, setup men will keep setting... Read More
We're now close to the All-Star Game and the catching stats are pretty grim, as far as the waiver wire goes. Nearly all the backstops with double-digit homers are above 50 % ownership, with three exceptions. Who are they? You can probably guess. Hint: They all appear later in this column.
