“Cause I’m here in right field just watching the dandelions grow.” — Peter, Paul, and Mary Right field is an afterthought at almost every level of baseball competition. Of course, when one gets to college and the minor leagues, that whole philosophy gets thrown on its ear. Right fielders are

We all – to some degree – suffer from recency bias. It’s natural. Whenever you’re drafting in a few months you’ll likely remember Michael Wacha’s postseason performance and maybe rank him a little higher. You’ll remember that Pablo Sandoval was awesome in September and perhaps give him another chance despite

I’m not quite sure what’s going on with MLB teams and overpaying for relievers, but it’s happening.  Maybe I’m wrong, but I prefer saving the top five prospects in my organization to fill other needs.  Alas, I am no general manager.  But I will explain the fantasy baseball ramifications of

Curtis Granderson found a new home today when he signed with the Mets for 4 years. There’s no mistaking how valuable “The Grandy Man” has been for fantasy owners since he landed in the Bronx in 2010. He smashed 84 homers combined in 2011 & 2012. Last year, 2013, however,

Ranking the starting pitchers for 2014 was by far the hardest list I had to make. On a few of the lists – SS in particular – I had to talk myself into including someone that I might not be exuding confidence about. Starting pitching was an entirely different animal. I had

Tuesday was perhaps the most ridiculous day in the history of a baseball off-season.  And I mean that in a good way.  A total of 12 significant signings and trades went down, and that isn’t even taking into account the half dozen or so rumors that were spewed throughout the

I went over my top ten in my previous piece. To catch you up, if you were unable to read it or found this one first, my top 10 is as follows: Trout, McCutchen, Gonzalez, A. Jones, Ellsbury, Gomez, Harper, Stanton, Braun, & Bautista. I did my best to explain
