2014 Fantasy Baseball, Daily Double Switch for May 22nd
Wednesday’s MLB went pretty well if you followed along the Daily Double Switch. The hitter’s didn’t do as great as I had hoped, but the pitching did well for their prices. Also, my hunch that Chris Davis was underpriced and worth the gamble worked out well. It’s worth noting that
2014 Fantasy Baseball: The Rickie Weeks Conundrum
About 90 years ago, a relatively young Yankees first baseman seemed on the path to a long and prosperous career. Coming into the 1925 season, Wally Pipp was coming off of two consecutive 100+ RBI campaigns. He had three other 90+ RBI seasons to his credit before that point. There

2014 Fantasy Baseball: Dumpster Diving — Shortstops Part II
Last time, we looked at the youngster shortstops that have been left undrafted. Today, we will look at the older shortstops in the same situation. Some of these folks are still relatively young (two are 27 and one 28), so calling them veterans is a bit of a misnomer. Some

2014 Fantasy Baseball: Stephen Drew Rejoins the Red Sox
It’s not often that a player that can make a fantasy impact is a free agent in who signs in May, but Stephen Drew is a free agent no longer, and he’ll be ready to help fantasy teams soon. Red Sox Manager John Farrell indicated in a press conference on

2014 Fantasy Baseball: Is Ian Kennedy For Real (Again)?
I pulled off a trade! Oh…you don’t care. Fair enough. But I’m here to discuss only one detail…Ian Kennedy. He wasn’t the key part of the deal, but prying him away from his owner was less difficult than I anticipated. To a point, his inclusion felt like a throw-in. Of
2014 Fantasy Baseball Daily Fix Podcast: May 20, 2014
Below is a podcast with me discussing daily fantasy strategy for the day. It’s only about eight minutes long. I discuss the starting pitchers with the highest projected point totals and the ones who are the best value for their price. I also discuss which teams are the best to
2014 Fantasy Baseball: Don’t Strand So Close To Me
We’re finishing the first quarter of the season, and it’s easier to understand some of our buy and sell opportunities as fantasy team owners than it was back in April. Late last week I wrote about starting pitchers to sell and you can find that here. Today I want to
2014 Fantasy Baseball: Week Eight Free Agent Fixes
This week of free agent options is an eclectic bunch headlined by two pitchers who are quite different. They’re joined by a prospect infielder that should get his first taste of big league joe soon, an outfielder that brings a healthy blend of power and speed, and another that has
2014 Fantasy Baseball: Dumpster Diving — Shortstops, Part I
As we continue the dumpster diving series we come to a position that is considerably weaker than the others. Of course, we probably knew that going into the season. Beyond the heavy hitters like Hanley Ramirez and Troy Tulowitzki, there aren’t a lot of guys to feel really good about.
