The 6% owned Fife hasn't allowed more than 3 ER in his first 6 starts of the year, and has a 35:11 K:BB ratio over 41.1 IP in that timeframe. Consistency is hard to come by with young pitchers, and Fife also pitches for a hot LAD team in a great pitchers park. He's a […]
Full Story »Matt Adams (1B, STL)
Adams is healthy and hit 2 HRs on the 29th. Even more important, he's getting enough starts to be super-deep leauge relevant. He's only 4% owned right now, and as long as you play in daily leagues where you can check the STL lineup each day, Adams will be a productive player to have on […]
Full Story »Eric Hosmer (1B, KC)
Ever since George Brett was named the Royals' hitting coach, Hosmer has turned it on at the plate. He's looking like the hitter that everyone wanted him to be for the past couple years. With 3 HR in his last 3 games, even the power is coming back. His production has been high quality in […]
Full Story »Rajai Davis (OF, TOR)
Rajai has 5 SBs over his past 3 games. He's starting regularly for the Jays and he is also scoring runs. What else do you need to know? If you need speed, grab him.
Full Story »Alfonso Soriano (OF, CHC)
Surprisingly, Soriano is only owned in 46% of leagues. That is sure to go up after his recent stretch. He's got 9 hits, 2 HR and 5 RBIs over his past 5 games. Soriano is a very streak player in his old age, so if you have room for him make the move while he's […]
Full Story »J.J. Putz (RP, SEA)
Putz was activated from the disabled list. He's been fine in rehab, and ARZ will be glad to get him back as Heath Bell was falling apart recently. Putz should resume closing nearly immediately so if you need saves, he's a great add.
Full Story »Bruce Rondon (RP, DET)
He's baaack! The Tigers bullpen has been a mess all year. Rondon, the 'closer of the future' has been called up once and demoted a few days later. He is definitely a work in progress and Leyland went on record Friday and said Rondon will not be used to close games. Not yet. There is […]
Full Story »Daily Fantasy Baseball Analysis July 1: Summer of Crush
Summer of Crush I tried to come up with an opening paragraph which did not pertain to either Chris Davis or Yasiel Puig. I really did think long and hard on the subject, but I ultimately concluded that there really are no better storylines from the past month. I mean, Chris Davis totally obliterated the […]
Full Story »Fantasy Baseball Daily League Analysis (July 1, 2013)
Monday night is a limited schedule, but it still presents a nice opportunity for daily fantasy baseball players to get a successful lineup locked in with six games in the evening window. There are some of the lesser-known teams in action tonight, meaning it's a great night to flash your fantasy know-how and build your […]
Full Story »Fantasy Baseball Musings: Against Streaming, or In Defense of Averages
I don’t know if a tool to thwart this madness exists, but for the sake of parity I would love to see one implemented. If you know of one, especially on Yahoo!, please yell at me, pronto. Otherwise, stand up and scream if you are in a points league and you detest pitcher “streaming.” There’s […]
Full Story »Matt Garza (SP, CHC)
Garza is still only 65% owned in Yahoo! leagues. It's borderline criminal. If he's available in your league pick him up IMMEDIATELY, if not sooner. Why? Since getting bombed for 9 ER vs. CIN on the 11th, Garza has pitched 3 starts combining for 22 IP, 23:5 K:BB, just 2 ER and 2 Ws. He's […]
Full Story »A.J. Griffin (SP, OAK)
Griffin is coming off a CG Shutout vs. the powerhouse Reds racking up 7 Ks while only allowing 4 baserunners. His 3.56 ERA and 1.09 WHIP on the year are very respectable and he's worth picking up in the 50% of leagues he's available.
Full Story »Delmon Young (OF, PHI)
With a 9 hits in 14 ABs over the last 3 days, along with 1 HR and 8 RBIs, Delmon Young is about as hot as you can be. He is widely available so if you need OF help in a 4 / 5 OF league, he's a solid short term play.
Full Story »Felipe Paulino (SP, KC)
Paulino is definitely a guy to keep an eye on, as he has nasty stuff and has shown an ability to perform at the major league level. With the offseason improvements to the Royals' offensive lineup and Paulino's strikeout ability, he could be an impact player in the second half. Keep him on your radar […]
Full Story »Koji Uehara (RP, BOS)
Uehara has taken the reigns in Boston's bullpen and righted the sinking ship that Andrew Bailey left behind. In the past 3 days, he's thrown 3 perfect IP with 6 Ks, racking up 3 saves. He's only 52% owned in Yahoo! leagues which just crazy. Pick him up immediately if you need saves or pitching […]
