2014 Fantasy Baseball: Which Josh Reddick is the Real Josh Reddick?
After having a breakout 2012, the only way to categorize Josh Reddick’s 2013 is “disappointing.” He was continually hurt, he didn’t hit for any power, and his low average dropped even further. The only positive note was that he continued to be very efficient on the bases, stealing nine bags
2014 Fantasy Baseball: Jason Heyward, Draft or Dodge?
Jason Heyward had a season ravaged by injuries last year between an emergency appendectomy and a pitch to the face that broke his jaw. As odd as it sounds, those are the kind of injuries you would rather see from someone who has been getting the injury plagued label. It
2014 Fantasy Baseball: Is Wil Myers Actually Being Overlooked?
I am not the biggest Wil Myers fan. I own no shares of him in any dynasty or keeper leagues, and I did not own him at all in any league last year whatsoever (I participated in five). I see his flaws and understand what they are, but I still
2013 Fantasy Baseball: Diving in For Cheap Power
This post is about two guys who are owned in next to no Yahoo! leagues that can help you jump a few spots in home runs as the tail end of the season approaches. At this point in the year, a lot of roto leagues are decided or close to
Jason Heyward’s Bounce Back in the Leadoff Spot
Don’t look now, but Jason Heyward is back to having a quality season at the dish. He is not running like we saw last year and his power numbers are down, but his overall offensive performance is up and he is improving in the right areas. For long term leagues,
Russell Martin Deserves More Love
Russell Martin is owned in just 39% of Yahoo! leagues and I am rather unsure why this is the case. Martin has a history of producing well in different categories in different seasons. He has had years where he has hit .293, a year with 20 homers, a year with
What to Expect from Brandon Beachy
The Braves were facing a very interesting situation two weeks ago. Paul Maholm was struggling, along with Kris Medlen, and the Braves had Brandon Beachy inching closer and closer to being ready to return from Tommy John surgery. Additionally, top prospect Alex Wood has dominated in every role the Braves
What To Do With Ian Kennedy
We are long since removed from Ian Kennedy’s breakthrough 21-4 season with a 2.88 ERA back in 2011. Since then, Kennedy had an average at best season and this year he has been downright miserable, but still he is owned in over 60% of Yahoo! leagues.
Why I Love Kyle Seager
I was really high on Kyle Seager entering the year, drafting him in almost every league I could and being really happy about how late I was able to grab him. After he put up a 108 wRC+ in his first full year with 20 homers, 13 steals, and 86
Frustrations With Brett Gardner
Brett Gardner has long been one of my favorite players. He is the prototypical speedster, adding incredible speed with amazing defense and solid plate discipline. If those guys don’t excite you in a baseball sense then I don’t know what else would. I invested pretty deeply into Gardner this year
