2013 Fantasy Baseball: Week 1 Waiver Wire Hunting
The end of Spring Training is a hectic time for every team. When teams finalize their rosters they have to expose some players on waivers. Every other team has to decide if their 24th and 25th guy is better than what is available on the waiver wire. In a similar
The Absentee Drafter: Dealing with Being Auto-Drafted
I had one of those situations come up this weekend that is a nightmare for all fantasy baseball players: I had double booked myself. Of course, this was not intentional. I play in a league of players from a fan site I have been a part of for over a
Rotters and Sleepers: Right Fielders
We finally reach the end of the series on rotters and sleepers. Right field might be the last position on the diamond, but there are some heavy hitters that reached the rotter and sleeper category. Of course, I am looking mainly at performance and not necessarily where these players are
Royce White: Pioneer or Con Man?
I usually don’t comment on matters outside of baseball. However, seeing the latest in the Royce White saga just begged for me to comment in some fashion. For those that don’t want to read the article or just want a simple breakdown of the situation, Royce White left the Rio
Rotters and Sleepers: Left Fielders
Of the three outfield positions, left field could be the strongest when you count Mike Trout relocating to left field this season. Ryan Braun and Trout could be the consensus top two picks in most drafts even if experts don’t necessarily agree on the order. Beyond that, you have heavyweights
Rotters and Sleepers: Center Fielders
This is one of those times when headlines really don’t tell the real story. Most of the players profiled in this chapter really aren’t rotters. They are more like teasers. The overwhelming amount of potential that is displayed here would lead many to think that at least some of these
Rotters and Sleepers: Starting Pitchers
Pitching is the most elusive of all the positions in baseball. Whether it be starters or relievers, performance from season to season seems to be more fickle than most positions. Yet, real general managers and fantasy baseball managers will spend more figurative money (if you are in an auction league)
Rotters and Sleepers: Shortstops
Shortstop was the weakest position last year on the diamond last year. Several of the shortstops we are profiling were below average offensive performers last season. Obviously, some of them will rebound to put up positive numbers this year and some won’t rebound. Four of the six profiled shortstops will
Rotters and Sleepers: Third Base
Third base is a weak position in terms of rotters and sleepers. Last season, some strong sleepers woke up at third base. David Wright and Ryan Zimmerman awoke from their slumber to turn in some very strong campaigns. Obviously, they are no longer in the sleeper category. Even if he
Rotters and Sleepers: First Base
In the last edition, we saw that total run index can help us predict which catchers would continue to struggle and which ones would bounce back. I said help because nothing is 100 percent fool proof. Nothing ever could be 100 percent because that would take all the fun out
