2013 Fantasy Baseball, The Fielding Angle: Cardinals vs. Reds
It must be the all-star break if we are talking about fielding on a fantasy baseball website. Well, I must admit that I am a sucker for deep fielding analysis, and while really getting into the fielding numbers isn’t necessary to fantasy success, paying some attention can only help you
2013 Fantasy Baseball, Jarred Cosart: Coming or Going?
It happens seemingly on a monthly basis these days. Some new pitcher gets called up and takes the world by storm. Perhaps it is the fact that pitching seems to be making a comeback after a couple of decades where hitters seemed to dominate. Perhaps, it is because teams can’t
2013 Fantasy Baseball, Week 15 Plate Discipline: Right Fielders
We reach the end of the plate discipline series today. Of course, this is always something that can be revisited later, but when we see the results here we see how important plate discipline really is. There is a larger separation between the good, bad, and ugly in right field
2013 Fantasy Baseball, The Daily Fix: July 11th, 2013
Officially, the votes for the final all-star game spot will be decided today. You get the ultimate philosophical question between Freddie Freeman and Yasiel Puig. Puig has taken the baseball world by storm much the same way that Mike Trout did a year ago. Yet, he has only been doing
2013 Fantasy Baseball, The Daily Fix: July 10, 2013
It’s been a hectic couple of weeks in the household. We’ve been moving and for anyone that knows, that’s not something that gets completely done over a weekend. We’ll probably still have unopened boxes for the next couple of months. The game of baseball marches on until the all-star break.
2013 Fantasy Baseball, Plate Discipline: Center Fielders
It’s certainly been awhile since we saw an edition of the plate discipline series. As John Lennon said, life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans. It was a longer break for me and just in time as the sport comes to its predetermined halfway point.
2013 Fantasy Baseball, The Daily Fix: June 27, 2013
Thursday is sometimes a difficult day to play on. It’s quite common for Draftkings to split their contests into early, normal, and late game contests. When you have only nine games on the schedule to begin with, it can be really challenging to put a schedule together using the daily
2013 Fantasy Baseball, Plate Discipline: Left Fielders
We’ve gone through a majority of the positions and profiled certain players on the positive and negative lists for each position. For left fielders we are going to do something a little different. In this case, we will look at some of the commonalities for players on either side of
2013 Fantasy Baseball, The Daily Fix: June 26, 2013
Before we move onto the daily lineups I should put forth a bit of a disclaimer. I will be deviating from my normal methodology today and trying something else. It has little to do with lack of success lately (although that is a pleasant side effect) and more to do
2013 Fantasy Baseball, Plate Discipline: Shortstops
Last time we talked about the difference between results and process. Obviously, most teams and most fantasy players focus on results. Process doesn’t earn you any points by itself. However, paying attention to process can tip you off to some sleepers and some players ready to fall. Unfortunately, teams don’t
