Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller (shoulder) is considered questionable for Wednesday's contest with the Rockets.

My name is Jon Anderson and I am a nobody in the fantasy baseball industry. I have no credentials, no huge following on social media. However, I was given a log-in to this website and now I can freely put my words out there for you to read. That's more than nothing, which has given […]

Rudy Gay Questionable For Wednesday, Lonnie Walker IV Ruled Out

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers. Guard Lonnie Walker IV (wrist) has been ruled out.

KC Bubba's 10 Bold Predictions for 2021

The 2021 season is so close to starting, which means it is time for some bold predictions. It appears the season will still be a complete 162 games, with no NL DH and a standard playoff format.

Which Pitchers With New Pitches Should We Care About?

There are few things more exciting in Spring Training than learning that a pitcher developed a new pitch. It's a little bit like waking up to find that you've been given a new toy. We're blinded by the possibilities of this new toy. Think of the fun we can have with it. Think of the […]

Elfrid Payton Available To Play Tuesday

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) will be on the court for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

J.T. Realmuto Homers In First At Bat Of Spring

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (thumb) homered in his first at-bat of Grapefruit League play on Tuesday. That was a nice way to return from a thumb injury he sustained early in camp. Realmuto was always expected to be back for Opening Day, but it's nice to see him get some game action before they […]

Using Sabermetrics for Fantasy Baseball: Barrels

We've previously looked at how exit velocity (or EV) is only one piece of the fantasy analysis puzzle. Baseball broadcasts will commonly cite Launch Angle (LA) to complement their EV figures, but it is given in terms of degrees. Am I evaluating a baseball player or trying to find the hypotenuse of an isosceles triangle? […]
