2014 Fantasy Baseball Daily Fix Podcast: May 27, 2014

2014 Fantasy Baseball: Dumpster Diving — Left Fielders Part I
Different fantasy platforms treat outfielders differently. Some of them simply lump them all together while others separate them by positions. Here at the Fix, we are going to separate them anyway in case you are in one of those leagues that does so. The advice will likely hold even if
2014 Fantasy Baseball, Daily Double Switch for May 26th

2014 Fantasy Baseball: Week Nine Free Agent Fixes

2014 Fantasy Baseball: Quarter Awards
With the 2014 Major League Baseball season now officially a quarter of the way complete, it’s time to unveil the Quarter Awards. What better way to reward the fantasy baseball’s best (and worst) players than handing out some prestigious awards? While certain awards were very easy to choose a winner
2014 Fantasy Baseball: Who Has Beaten Their Peripherals Lately?
Yesterday, I posted a piece about Julio Teheran. I didn’t mention WAR in it, mainly because it was a fantasy piece and your league settings likely mean the statistic doesn’t mean much for you in this context. Teheran’s WAR, however, was in the back of my mind the whole time.
Unheralded All-Stars
The Unheralded All-Stars are one of the most fun parts about fantasy baseball. Sometimes it’s your late-round sleeper pick that you had been eyeing all offseason and other times, let’s admit it, you get lucky and fall into the previously unseen breakout pick. Let’s look at three guys giving their

2014 Fantasy Baseball: Julio Teheran Found His Groove
Julio Teheran, whom I’ve written about before, fired his second complete game shutout of the season Tuesday night. His first came against the Phillies; his second, against the Brewers. Julio Teheran is very, very good. But if you’re like me and look at peripherals a good deal, especially this early
