Matt Holliday: Mr Consistent No More?
I’m currently in the middle of a massive mid-season rankings project. However, I had to take a break and write an article about the findings I unearthed about Matt Holliday’s curiously woeful and uncharacteristic first half. Here we go.

2013 Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes: July 19th 2013
July 19th 2013: Today’s Daily Notes will obviously be short and limited to information about streaming pitchers. Tomorrow we will be back to the regular content load. Stream-Em/ Leave-Em One of the main criteria for streaming is to have a chance at a win against an opposing pitcher. Also,
Who wants to win $125,000?
Opportunities don’t come along like this very often. Those of you that know me know I play the Double Up! contest habitually, but Draftkings has made an offer I can’t refuse and you shouldn’t either. Draftkings is presenting a one time contest where the winner is set to earn $125,000. Yup,
Max Scherzer’s New Pitch
Tuesday night at the All-Star game, Max Scherzer pitched the bottom of the first. After his one and only inning, he gave a televised interview. During this chat, Rick Sutcliffe made a general reference to Scherzer’s secondary pitches and their development. Now usually, in-game interviews such as this are bland,
What To Do With Ian Kennedy
We are long since removed from Ian Kennedy’s breakthrough 21-4 season with a 2.88 ERA back in 2011. Since then, Kennedy had an average at best season and this year he has been downright miserable, but still he is owned in over 60% of Yahoo! leagues.
2013 Fantasy Baseball, The Fielding Edge: Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox
Fielding analysis and fantasy sports don’t mix. At least, they don’t mix yet. A scant decade ago, fielding analysis and sabermetrics didn’t mix either and sabermetrics has always been on the sharp edge on the spear of thinking in the sport. Sabermetricians have always been about value. Simply put, they
2013 Fantasy Baseball Week 16 Waiver Wire: 3 to Catch, 3 to Cut, 3 to Keep
It’s better late than never for the Week 16 edition of fantasy baseball 3×3, where we’re resisting the urge to move Ricky Nolasco (but sending his teammate Hyun-Jin Ryu to the trading block) and finally letting Justin Ruggiano find himself.
The Rubber: Top 75 SP Rest-of-Season Rankings
I present to you my top 75 starting pitcher rankings for the remainder of 2013. I’d trade anyone for any player listed above them. I present them without comment as we go along because I’m balls deep in football material trying to get our Football Draft Guide ready to launch.
Will Josh Reddick Rebound In The Second Half?
With play resuming Friday, fantasy owners have one question… Which players will help my team reach the playoffs and hopefully, a championship? Out of nowhere, Josh Reddick hit 32 home runs and drove in 85 runs in 2012 helping many owners to just that. Those numbers didn’t go unnoticed in
2013 Fantasy Baseball, The Fielding Angle: Cardinals vs. Reds
It must be the all-star break if we are talking about fielding on a fantasy baseball website. Well, I must admit that I am a sucker for deep fielding analysis, and while really getting into the fielding numbers isn’t necessary to fantasy success, paying some attention can only help you
Can Patrick Corbin Really Be This Good?
Patrick Corbin has been one of the more fascinating players of the 2013 season to me. He did not get much publicity coming into the 2013 campaign and was even battling Randall Delgado in Spring Training for the last spot in the DBacks rotation. Corbin’s been a bonafide ace in
