RotoBaller Week 4 Fantasy Baseball Musings: Zimmerman, Hill, Choo, Upton, Pujols and more...

If you own Ryan Zimmerman and/or Aaron Hill, I feel your pain (and, to a lesser extent, their pain). But this could be a moment to seize opportunity… for their replacements and for you. The Nationals shut Zimmerman (hamstring) down for 15 days, allowing Anthony Rendon (Harrisburg/AA) a chance to prove his prospect status legit. […]

Rotoballer Targets: Cheap Sources for Middle Infield

Middle infield is where fantasy stats go to die.

Rotoballer Targets: Cheap Sources for Strikeouts

Fernandezmania: A RotoBaller Player Profile

Miami Marlins phenom Jose Fernandez made his much-anticipated major league debut on Sunday and certainly did not disappoint. Flashing an elite arsenal, the composed rookie exhibited terrific command as he retired the first ten hitters he faced and powered his way through the Mets lineup. A blown save in the ninth cost the right-hander his […]

Rotoballer Targets: Cheap Sources for Power - Week Two April 9-16

Week One saw Chris Davis dominate and Will Middlebrooks have a 3-HR day against the Blue Jays.

Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper? Justin Morneau

(This article was recently updated based on current ADP trends) Justin Morneau could be good. Sigh, what’s there to say about a former MVP who is still only 31 and just two years removed from a half-season where he batted .345 with 18 HR and 56 RBI? Is he another Jason Bay-- i.e., someone whose […]

Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers? Alcides Escobar

(This article was recently updated based on current ADP trends) Alcides Escobar is going to go as far as his legs can take him in 2013. His entire fantasy value is based on his speed, including how he gets on base and what he does once he's there. Escobar had 26 SB in 2011, and […]

Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers? Carlos Santana

(This article was recently updated based on current ADP trends) The “thing” I like most about Carlos Santana is the fact that he is a “catcher.” You see, (wink wink), he is a top-tier fantasy baseball "catcher," even though he will most likely play at least a third of his games at 1B or DH. […]

Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers? Aaron Hill

(This article was recently updated based on current ADP trends)   Remember Aaron Hill’s name.

Hill was at the top of the leaderboard for nearly every offensive category among 2B […]

But despite his record-setting numbers in the Cuban League, it […]

Fantasy Baseball Draft Advice: Stephen Strasburg

Since making his Major League debut in 2010, Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg-- arguably the most hyped draft pick in baseball history-- has been as good as advertised.
