In a continuation of my last piece on the Houston Astros offense, today I'm going to examine the current pitchers on the Astros roster for the upcoming fantasy season. In case you don't like reading, though, here's the readers' digest version of this one: none of them are draftable in 2014 fantasy baseball leagues, and I mean […]
Full Story »Three Overvalued Outfielders: 2014 Fantasy Baseball Rankings
Baseball is almost here, which means mock drafts are in full swing! The “Experts” have their rankings and projections out, and here are three outfielders who I think are ranked a little too high. 2014 Rankings Analysis - Outfielders (OF) Billy Hamilton - OF, Cincinatti Reds MLB.com has Hamilton ranked as the 72nd overall fantasy […]
Full Story »Rebounds, Steals and Threes: Waiver Wire Pickups for Fantasy Basketball
Waiver Wire Pickups for Rebounds, Steals and Threes When looking to improve your fantasy basketball team with a waiver wire pickup, don’t ask “is this guy better than this guy?” Ask “does this guy improve the categories where I need the most help?” Here are a couple of players available in most standard 12-team fantasy […]
Full Story »Patrick Beverley (Guard) - Waiver Wire Pickup
Baller Move: Add in Deep Leagues for Steals/Threes Analysis: If you’re just looking for steals and threes, Beverly can bring it, along with a few assists, though not much else. What he brings is similar to PJ Tucker, as far as being a useful fantasy player who is underrated because of his scoring. Tucker has got a […]
Full Story »Jodie Meeks (Guard) - Waiver Wire Pickup
Baller Move: Add Immediately for Steals/Threes Analysis: He may have been dropped due to the sprained ankle that’s kept him out the last couple weeks, but he’s due back after the All-Star Break, and will likely reclaim a spot in the starting lineup from the uninspiring Wes Johnson. In case you forgot how good Meeks […]
Full Story »DeMarre Carroll (Forward) - Waiver Wire Pickups
Baller Move: Add Immediately Analysis: DeMarre Carroll – I don’t really think I need to say much about Carroll. He’s been a top 20 fantasy player over the last month. I’ll just file this in the “I can’t believe he’s still less than half-owned category.” Whether it’s the great shooting (.567 since 1/13), the three pointers (2.0/game), […]
Full Story »PJ Tucker (Forward) - Waiver Wire Pickup
Baller Move: Add in Deep Leagues for Rebounds Analysis: PJ Tucker is averaging a solid 7.5 rebounds over the last month. Pair that with percentages and turnover rates that are very reasonable and a solid trickle of about a trey and a steal per game, and you’ve got a guy who can help without hurting […]
Full Story »Chris Kaman (Center) - Waiver Wire Pickup
Baller Move: Add Immediately Analysis: The big bald man is on fire over the last couple games, putting up back-to-back 20+/10+ games in points and rebounds, as well as blocking multiple shots and even putting up a 3 or 4 assists. This is obviously not going to last – Chris Kaman has not suddenly turned into LaMarcus […]
Full Story »Michael Sam Makes NFL History
Gay College Football Star Michael Sam Makes History The NFL offseason is here, and not even two weeks removed from the Super Bowl, we have some groundbreaking news. It’s not really drama per se, but it is a first, and every comment, every headline will be analyzed-- this is a scrutinized-under-a-microscope type of story. […]
Full Story »Top 25 Third Basemen (3B): Rankings, Tiers & Projections
Before I sat down to rank the Top 25 Third Basemen for 2014 fantasy faseball, I thought I'd have a tough time coming up with twenty-five players at the position who I would consider drafting in 2014. I thought I might have to cut this list to twenty, but even after losing hot-corner mainstays such […]
Full Story »Minnesota Twins Pitching Analysis & Projections: 2014 Fantasy Baseball
What can $84 million buy you nowadays? In today's market, not as much as you'd think. The Twins needed to find some pillars in their rotation for not only this year, but for a few years down the line. They handed over a four-year deal to Ricky Nolasco and a two year deal to Phil […]
Full Story »NY Mets Pitching Analysis & Projections: 2014 Fantasy Baseball
Let's face facts-- for the past few seasons, it has not been easy to be a Mets fan. But each season brings hope, and the Mets path to success resides in its pitching staff, which is the team's core strength. The rotation took a serious blow last October when the Mets announced that Matt Harvey […]
Full Story »Top 5 Rules For Auction Leagues: Draft Strategy
Many fantasy baseball players are hesitant to use the auction format during draft season because it is an admittedly more complicated and strategically focused format than your standard snake draft. By removing the natural randomness inherent in a snake draft, having a proper fantasy draft strategy is more important than ever. This level of control […]
Full Story »Anthony Bennett (Forward) - Waiver Wire Pickup
Baller move: Monitor closely Analysis: Remember the first overall pick in last year's draft? Yes, Anthony Bennett may actually become fantasy relevant. He is averaging 9.2 PTS 5.2 REB 0.7 STL in 19.7 MPG in February; obviously not stellar, but there's upside. He backed up his recently improved play with a nice double double (19 PTS/10 […]
Full Story »Zaza Pachulia (Center) - Waiver Wire Pickup
Baller Move: Speculative add in 12+ team leagues Analysis: The Bucks are a mess this season and Larry Drew's rotation is never set in stone, but with both Larry Sanders and John Henson out with injuries, that leaves Pachulia to take over a decent amount of minutes at the Center position. Over the past 5 […]
