Tyler Clippard About this time every year, I get the email or tweet from the nervous fantasy owner who is deficient in saves, or their ERA/WHIP are inflating (like this nurse’s breasts) out of control and need a solution. If you remember my piece on middle relievers this time last year,

Tommy Hanson Pitching Line of the Week: Dallas Braden 9IP, 0 H/R/ER/BB, 6K  Yes, all those goose eggs = a perfect game. Dallas Braden of the Oakland Athletics is the 19th pitcher in Major League Baseball history to throw a perfect game. Unfortunately, he will not be starting twice this

Jhoulys Chacin Ubaldo Jimenez is having an epic start to the 2010 season, but he can’t do it by himself.    More often than not, Batman needed Robin, right? Well, Ubaldo is clearly the “Batman” of the Rockies pitching staff and Jorge De La Rosa was scripted to be “Robin”,

Carlos Gonzalez Power and Speed, two of the five essential “tools” or skills that baseball players are said to possess, are lethal when combined.

 Who’s selling high on Ubaldo? Not me. That’s partially because I wasn’t able to get my hands on him in any of my leagues. However, if I was able to draft Jimenez, I would only consider trading him if someone offered up the farm. This kid is the real deal

Ricky Romero will be an essential component to the Doc Holliday-less Blue Jays in 2010. Quickly vaulting to the top of the AL East with a 7-3 start, the Blue Jays need Ricky to be the #1 SP they anticipated when they drafted him #6 overall in the 2005 draft.

Here is a sneak peek into one of my big leagues. Is it too early to contemplate keeper options? Never, especially with my league’s trade deadline looming. What it looks like: 12 team, 5 x 5, head to head, very competitive. The dilemma: I can keep any 2 players based

No one will argue that Nelson Cruz is having a Fantasy All-Star first half.  With a combination of power and speed, he has all of the tools to be a Top-10 Outfielder.BUT??? Yes, there is a but.  You can argue that he is 29 (actually his birthday is 7/1) and
