Avisail Garcia is on the Way
Avisail Garcia was recently traded from the Detroit Tigers to the Chicago Whitesox. Alex Rios was just traded from Whitesox to the Texas Rangers. Together, these two trades gave fantasy baseball owners a new commodity. This is even more significant than usual because it is the middle of August. Adding
2013 Fantasy Baseball, Alex Rios Moved to the Rangers
J.P. Riccardi lives on. It’s been a long time since he’s been a general manager in the game, but his wildly stupid contracts nabs another victim. In this case, the solid but spectacular Alex Rios moves in another August trade. This time he goes to the Texas Rangers for player
Russell Martin Deserves More Love
Russell Martin is owned in just 39% of Yahoo! leagues and I am rather unsure why this is the case. Martin has a history of producing well in different categories in different seasons. He has had years where he has hit .293, a year with 20 homers, a year with
2013 Fantasy Baseball, Total Run Series: Third Basemen
Statistics are worthless without a frame of reference. Sure, you can compare players with other plays in a basic way, but what does it all mean. It occurred to me that I went through the first three articles without providing a frame of reference for total runs. Those that have

I’ve covered the pitchers
2013 Fantasy Baseball, Total Run Series: Second Basemen
Second base has been one of the more interesting positions in fantasy baseball this season. Seven players in the current top twenty were drafted in the top 100 selections. None of them registered as the number one second baseman to this point of the season. Developments like this are interesting
2013 Fantasy Baseball, The Daily Fix: August 8th, 2013
Mondays and Thursdays can be hell for daily fantasy baseball, but if you approach it the right way you can make a killing. There are fewer players to choose from and everyone has to deal with the same things that you do. One of the key things to do is
2013 Fantasy Baseball, Total Run Series: First Basemen
Nostalgia has no place in fantasy sports. Yet, thousands of fantasy sports players fall victim to it every year. If there is one thing no one can predict, it is the career arc of a player in any sport. Some guys falter before their time and others just seem to
2013 Fantasy Baseball, The Daily Fix: August 7th, 2013
The Biogenesis scandal has shaken the baseball world. That coupled with the passing of the non-waiver deadline has sports fans looking forward to football. It’s easy to get lost in the hope of another fantasy football season. Some of us have been out of the playoff running for a couple
