Danny Granger (Forward) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Even though Granger is no longer the 25-point-per-game star he once was, he can still be a productive fantasy player.  In his first start of the season on Wednesday, he posted 14 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block and 1 steal.  He got the start in place of an injured Lance Stephenson, but prior to […]

Glen Davis (Forward) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Since returning from an early-season injury, Davis has been surprisingly consistent this season.  He has scored in double figures in 15 of his last 16 games and has posted three double-doubles in that time.  Davis has also taken advantage of Nikola Vucevic’s injury concerns to earn himself over 33 minutes a game over the past two […]

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. On one hand, they lose a proven leader and one of the best clutch-hitting catchers in recent memory, but on the other, replacement Evan Gattis might well be even better. Gattis only had […]

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 […]

MLB News & Fantasy Baseball Analysis: Tampa Bay Rays Hot Stove

After ending 2013 in a defeat to the eventual World Series champion Boston Red Sox, Tampa Bay fans and fantasy owners should be optimistic about the Rays' chances of returning to the playoffs in 2014.

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 […]

Hot Stove Season: Toronto Blue Jays News and Fantasy Analysis

After wheeling and dealing, moving and grooving by the hot stove one year ago, this winter the Toronto Blue Jays sat in the corner telling people they didn't like what the DJ was playing.
