The First Pitch Tuesday was not a nice day/night for most pitchers. Only Lance Lynn, Cliff Lee, Anibal Sanchez and rookie Nick Tepesch had games you should be impressed by. Lynn struck out 10 Cincinnati hitters in six one-run innings. It was a very impressive start. Lee came one out

The following list is my ranking of Week 2’s two-start starting pitchers. Since it’s so early in the season most of the decisions were made by previous years’ performance with an impressive first 2013 start and upcoming matchups being tiebreakers.

Welcome to the first 2013 installment of the Rookie Report. Each week I’ll highlight a few rookies who have consistent playing time, see how they’ve done and try to predict what we’ll see from them in the future. Also, since the minor-league season just started today, starting next week I’ll

If you were, hypothetically speaking, a baseball, one of the last things you’d want to see is Jorge Soler in the batter’s box. Just take a look (and listen) at this and this. The first video is from Soler’s first at-bat this spring, while the second video is from last

One group of pitchers that seemingly goes unnoticed by many is the group that hasn’t been elite but has produced several years of solid performances. Those pitchers fall in the rankings anywhere from 40 to 60 and provide a good back-end to your rotation whether you drafted a couple of

Hey folks! It’s the best time of the year – fantasy baseball draft season. The Fantasy Fix staff members use our own advice in our leagues, and we know you, the loyal readers, do too. So let’s see who’s really the best at putting the theories, advice and knowledge into
