MLB News & Fantasy Baseball Analysis: Atlanta Braves Hot Stove

Crazy Offseason in Atlanta Brian McCann signs with the Yankees Losing Brian McCann may not be the worst thing for the Braves.

The Hall of Shame: Why the MLB HOF Voting System Doesn't Work

Another year, another explosion of debate about the Baseball Hall of Fame. This year’s entries are Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, and the Frank "The Big Hurt" Thomas, all of whom are more than deserving of enshrinement. But this article is not about who made the Hall of Fame—it’s about who didn't make it, and the […]

MLB News & Fantasy Baseball Analysis: Philadelphia Phillies Hot Stove

The 2014 Phillies appear to be in the dreaded “no-man’s” land.  A team too heavily invested to rebuild, but too old to be great.  A series of ill-advised big money contracts to several players who have been riddled with injuries have left the Phils with very little flexibility to consistently better themselves.  Ryan Howard, Chase […]

2014 Outlook for Michael Floyd: Biggest 2013 Breakouts

The greatest thing about fantasy football is how unpredictable it is.  There is no player you can draft that is guaranteed to produce at the rate you expect him to, whether that's due to injury, talent or situation.  Doug Martin, Trent Richardson, Alshon Jeffery and Josh Gordon were all prime examples of this, and each either destroyed […]

MLB News & Fantasy Baseball Analysis: Chicago Cubs Hot Stove

Despite a horrific 96-loss 2013 campaign, the Cubs have made very few moves to improve the roster. I’m not going to sit here and bash their front office for this strategy, and in fact I’m actually in favor of it, but that doesn't mean this 2014 Cubs roster is going to be very exciting from […]
