2014 Fantasy Baseball: The Grandy Man Can, Right?
Curtis Granderson found a new home today when he signed with the Mets for 4 years. There’s no mistaking how valuable “The Grandy Man” has been for fantasy owners since he landed in the Bronx in 2010. He smashed 84 homers combined in 2011 & 2012. Last year, 2013, however,
2014 Fantasy Baseball: Early Top 20 SP Part I
Ranking the starting pitchers for 2014 was by far the hardest list I had to make. On a few of the lists – SS in particular – I had to talk myself into including someone that I might not be exuding confidence about. Starting pitching was an entirely different animal. I had
2014 Fantasy Baseball: The Oakland A’s Revamped Bullpen
Tuesday was perhaps the most ridiculous day in the history of a baseball off-season. And I mean that in a good way. A total of 12 significant signings and trades went down, and that isn’t even taking into account the half dozen or so rumors that were spewed throughout the
2014 Fantasy Baseball: Too Early Top 20 OF For 2014, Part II

2014 Fantasy Baseball: Total Run Index Sneak Peeks, Centerfielders
We’ve gotten ourselves pretty deep into these sneak peeks and some people are probably coming in fresh. As they say in the radio business, you have to reset your conversation every fifteen to twenty minutes because the audience often changes. It’s hard to say how often we should do this
2014 Fantasy Baseball: Chase Headley’s Off-Season Activities
During the baseball off-season, players have a chance to do so many activities. Some of this includes charity fundraisers, workout programs, and constructing bunk-beds. But there is one activity that fantasy owners should always try to keep an eye on, and that’s a player’s medical visits. Here is an interesting
2014 Fantasy Baseball: Early Top 20 OF For 2014 Part I
When I began working on my outfield rankings, I decided, mainly due to boredom and my general sadness that there is no baseball at the moment, to do a top 20 instead of a top 10. I’ll be breaking them down into two posts, so this will post will only
2014 Fantasy Baseball: Total Run Index Sneak Peeks, Left Fielders
Outfield is a unique problem for fantasy players. If you play in more than one fantasy league, chances are that one of them will consider outfielders generically and the other will have specific positions. We will consider the positions specifically for the time being, but TRI lends itself to overall
2014 Fantasy Baseball, Total Run Index Sneak Peaks: Shortstops
Shortstop is easily the most glamorous position on the diamond. This is especially true as players are growing up and if players are coming from off the mainland. Of course, much of that prestige comes at the defensive end. Lay you odds that most of the “Web Gems” you see
2014 Fantasy Baseball: Early Top 10 SS For 2014
Shortstop is, to put it lightly, extremely lacking heading into 2014 – at least from a fantasy standpoint. Nearly everyone in my top 10 has legitimate question marks regarding either their production or health. The first three have injury concerns. There rest of the top 10 is littered with young

2014 Fantasy Baseball: Early Top 10 3B For 2014
We’re making our way around the diamond, slowly but surely, for our too early 2014 fantasy rankings. So far, we’ve taken a look at catcher, first basemen, and second basemen. Third base should be a pretty intriguing position in 2014. The following list will only include my top 10, but
