The Few, The Proud, The 40/50/90 Club: Steve Nash Makes It Look Easy
Over the past 25 NBA seasons, only six players have staked claim as members of one of the game’s most statistical groups: the 40/50/90 club. What makes this club so exclusive is that only six players in the past 2 ½ decades have shot 40 percent from 3PT, 50 percent
2011 American League West Pitching Preview: Jered Weaver & The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
Last season, the Angels lost their normal perch atop the AL West and their annual trip to the postseason; things really don’t look too much better this season. The rest of the AL either caught up or passed the Angels over the last year, and I’m not sure the addition
2011 American League East Pitching Preview: Romero, Morrow & The Toronto Blue Jays
As soon as you figure out the Blue Jays, can you please let me know? They trade a very solid young arm and replace him with…Carlos Villanueva? Um, alright. Then they sign Octavio Dotel and Jon Rauch and trade for Frank Francisco? Do they know you can’t hold leads if you
2011 Fantasy Baseball Pitching Preview: David Price & The Tampa Bay Rays
Now this will be interesting. The Rays traded Matt Garza to the Cubs, opening a full-time rotation for Jeremy Hellickson, one of the best young prospects in baseball. And he’s gonna be their fifth starter. David Price leads the way, and rightfully so. A well-deserved second place in last year’s Cy Young voting,
2011 Fantasy Baseball Pitching Preview: Lester, Beckett & the Boston Red Sox
The Red Sox have one of the most solid rotations in baseball, both in terms of on-field quality and stability. They have six major league-ready starters and barring injury, not many of their prospects will see a start. Jon Lester is one of my favorite pitchers in baseball. I’ve loved him since 2008,
2011 National League West Pitching Preview: Daniel Hudson & The Arizona Diamondbacks
For a team with 70 or fewer wins in the last two seasons, the Arizona Diamondbacks actually have several useful fantasy players. The first of those players to come to mind for most people would be position players. Guys like Justin Upton, Chris Young (still cannot believe he is useful again),Stephen Drew, and Miguel
2011 Fantasy Baseball Pitching Preview: CC Sabathia & The New York Yankees
As always, the Yankees have a chance to be really good this year. Except for the minor problem that their no. 2 starter has one year of starting experience in the majors, their no. 3 starter is probably the single most maddening starter in baseball, their no. 4 starter has
2011 Fantasy Baseball Pitching Preview: Trevor Cahill & The Oakland Athletics
Since the A’s last made the playoffs they’ve had successive win totals of 76, 75, 75 and 81, and thus been stuck in mediocrity. But there is reason for optimism this year, thanks mostly to a young pitching staff that took a huge step forward last year. Billy Beane has
2011 Fantasy Baseball Great Debate: Mark Teixeira vs. Adrian Gonzalez
In The Fantasy Fix's newest series, 2011 Fantasy Baseball Great Debate, our writers discuss two positional players and try to convince you which player to pick first on draft day. In this article we compare the two big bats of Mark Teixeira & Adrian Gonzalez. If Mark Teixeira was coming off either
2011 Fantasy Baseball Pitching Preview: Ubaldo Jimenez & The Colorado Rockies
Previewing the starting five of the Colorado Rockies is like looking at five really good Indie bands that would be much better off if they could land a record deal. Meaning that they would be much better off if they made their home starts in a different ballpark. But many
