Danny Salazar is a name you likely heard last year. He took the league by storm – as much by storm as you can playing in Cleveland, anyways. His stuff is huge as is his upside. You may have read about him here or here ($). If you haven’t had

There are probably close to 100 starting pitchers that will be used by fantasy players this year and some will emerge as fantasy stars (at least for the 2014 season), but we will be stopping our focus on the top 40 guys. One thing to keep in mind about the

The baseball world was rocked again when an arbitrator effectively held up the suspension for Alex Rodriguez. Initially, he was suspended for 215 games. He appealed the suspension (as was his right) and played through the end of the 2013 season. If he had accepted the suspension, it would have

Projections for the 2014 season are already out from steamerprojections.com. After the 2012 season, Razzball did a study on the most accurate projection systems, and Steamer seemed to be one of the better systems at projecting both hitting and pitching. So I wanted to find a way to turn the

We are approaching the half way point in the starting pitching rankings (there will actually be 50 starters in the top 250) and we are beginning to see a tightening in the data. That means that each player is a little less valuable simply because there isn’t a whole lot

This off-season has been quite a doozy.  So much so, even the reliever market has been a bit zany.  Billy Beane of the Oakland A’s decided to trade for and pay closer Jim Johnson eight figures, then mere hours later, traded for reliever Luke Gregerson, who is arguably the better

There is no more controversial fantasy position than on the rubber. At least starting pitchers are more consistent than relief pitchers. This doesn’t remove the fact that fantasy baseball is still dependent on three statistics that most sabermetricians have thrown out of the window. In particular, wins simply don’t matter

For those of you that saw the sneak peeks, this will be a bit of a review. Total Run Index is a statistical platform exclusive to TheFantasyFix.com. We took a look at the 2013 results, but did not forecast to 2014. This is what this series is all about. Of

The hot stove league breaks for no one. In the midst of Christmas parties and last minute Christmas shopping, the Texas Rangers gave themselves an early Christmas present by adding Shin-Soo Choo to an already potent lineup. It only cost them seven years and 130 million dollars. That comes out
