Hoping he can be their number two behind Clayton Kershaw, The Los Angeles Dodgers’ handed Zack Greinke a monster contract that closed in on $150 million over six years. So far, 2013 hasn’t gone as planned for either party. Before the season, Greinke dealt with an elbow issue, but managed

After a somewhat quietly impressive rookie season, Todd Frazier was enduring a bit of a sophomore slump until about a week ago. He started off the season off but plateaued at around six home runs despite hitting in one of the best ballparks in the league and hitting in one

Tuesday marks the big league debut of two of baseball’s most exciting prospects: Zack Wheeler and Wil Myers. Both Wheeler and Myers were high first-round talents drafted in 2009, Myers slipped to the third round due to perceived bonus demands. Despite, or perhaps because of, their elite amateur statuses both

Yesterday was Wil Myers/Zack Wheeler day. At least the hurler held up his end of the bargain as he got off his big league career to a nice start. Prospects are always exciting at all levels of fantasy baseball, but particularly on the daily side of the coin. They always

“On a long enough timeline, the survival rate drops to zero.” The above quote is one of my personal favorites and one I reference quite often. It serves as a reminder as to why I love looking at numbers so much. Without proper context, numbers are just numbers. So, I

Monday is a new day for me to play as Andrew normally covers this day for us. It’s an interesting day as the schedule normally turns over and new series begin. The Astros and White Sox are closing out a wrap around series, but otherwise we have a new slate

Adam Wainwright – Tue vs. CHC, Sun vs. TEX Max Scherzer – Mon vs. BAL, Sat vs. BOS Yu Darvish – Tue vs. OAK, Sun at STL Matt Harvey – Tue at ATL, Sun at PHI Shelby Miller – Mon vs. CHC, Sat vs. TEX Hyun-Jin Ryu – Tue at

When DraftKings came on as a sponsor this year, I was hesitant about committing to playing and writing about daily fantasy contests. My main concern was that I knew I’d have to learn the game, and I wasn’t looking forward to the adjustment period. I just don’t like doing anything

Admittedly, plate discipline is only half of the offensive equation, but it is probably the most important half. With the advent of pitch f/x data, we have learned a whole lot more about plate discipline than we used to know. It used to be about strikeouts and walks, but those
