Max Scherzer’s New Pitch
Tuesday night at the All-Star game, Max Scherzer pitched the bottom of the first. After his one and only inning, he gave a televised interview. During this chat, Rick Sutcliffe made a general reference to Scherzer’s secondary pitches and their development. Now usually, in-game interviews such as this are bland,
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.
2013 Fantasy Baseball, The Fielding Edge: Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox
Fielding analysis and fantasy sports don’t mix. At least, they don’t mix yet. A scant decade ago, fielding analysis and sabermetrics didn’t mix either and sabermetrics has always been on the sharp edge on the spear of thinking in the sport. Sabermetricians have always been about value. Simply put, they
2013 Fantasy Baseball Week 16 Waiver Wire: 3 to Catch, 3 to Cut, 3 to Keep
It’s better late than never for the Week 16 edition of fantasy baseball 3×3, where we’re resisting the urge to move Ricky Nolasco (but sending his teammate Hyun-Jin Ryu to the trading block) and finally letting Justin Ruggiano find himself.

Will Josh Reddick Rebound In The Second Half?
With play resuming Friday, fantasy owners have one question… Which players will help my team reach the playoffs and hopefully, a championship? Out of nowhere, Josh Reddick hit 32 home runs and drove in 85 runs in 2012 helping many owners to just that. Those numbers didn’t go unnoticed in
2013 Fantasy Baseball, The Fielding Angle: Cardinals vs. Reds
It must be the all-star break if we are talking about fielding on a fantasy baseball website. Well, I must admit that I am a sucker for deep fielding analysis, and while really getting into the fielding numbers isn’t necessary to fantasy success, paying some attention can only help you
Can Patrick Corbin Really Be This Good?
Patrick Corbin has been one of the more fascinating players of the 2013 season to me. He did not get much publicity coming into the 2013 campaign and was even battling Randall Delgado in Spring Training for the last spot in the DBacks rotation. Corbin’s been a bonafide ace in
Can CC Sabathia Still Be Old Reliable?
For years, CC Sabathia has been the definition of a reliable ace. Since his debut in 2001, the left-hander hasn’t pitched below 180 innings in a season. And during the past seven seasons, he never ended with an ERA and WHIP above 3.38 and 1.23, respectively. These numbers are usually
2013 Fantasy Baseball: Will Starlin Castro Rebound in the Second Half?
Starlin Castro came into the year with high hopes from fantasy owners everywhere. His draft position reflected the lofty goals that he had forced upon himself by having two solid seasons in 2011 and 2012 from a very shallow position. When you consider aging curves, most people expected Castro to
