fantasy baseball

Since our last installment there have been a string of huge injuries. Marlins slugger and only legitimate bat Giancarlo Stanton suffered a Grade 2 hamstring strain and is expected to miss at least a month of action. Sure he started out the season slow but he was showing signs of breaking through. In his last six games he hit .296 with three homers and eight RBIs.

My rule of thumb has always been to give my fantasy baseball teams a month. No one drafts a perfect team, and thirty games is typically enough time to get a good handle on your strengths and weaknesses.

Without a doubt the hottest player in terms of waiver wire pickups over the past week has been San Francisco shortstop Brandon Crawford. I choose to open with him for the pure fact to tell you not to jump on that bandwagon. Nothing stings worse than picking up a flash in the pan and cutting loose a guy you end up needing down the line...

The most contentious decision for a fantasy baseball owner is always which closers to draft. Closers, unlike arguably any other position, come with the greatest degree of risk. The best example of this is perhaps New York Yankees great, Mariano Rivera...

Can you believe it’s been a week already? Sure the sample size is small, but there is plenty to be taken from what we have seen. The biggest thing I have taken away this week is the fact that the Houston Astros know how to strike out...

There are few certainties in fantasy baseball. One certainty every season is that there isn’t another position with more turnover than at closer.
