Fantasy Baseball
Go and Buy a Wrench (Allen Craig)
As a big Allen Craig fan, and someone who kept him in multiple leagues entering this year, I still have a lot of faith in the Cardinal’s regular first baseman to put up some power numbers over the remainder of the season. He has hit a lowly three home runs
2013 Fantasy Baseball Week 10 Waiver Wire: 3 to Cut, 3 to Catch, 3 to Keep
Welcome back to fantasy baseball 3×3, where this week we’re doing the right thing for Giancarlo Stanton, following the Twins’ lead on Aaron Hicks, and slipping a promise ring on Rick Porcello. I apologize for posting a day late. A dislocated finger put me on the shelf Sunday evening, but
2013 Fantasy Baseball Daily Fix: June 4, 2013
Below I’ve got the DraftKings.com Team of the Day. I’m playing in a Double Up! contest as always. I’ve had a pretty decent run lately as I’ve won four straight double ups, so allow me to quickly summarize the strategy into which I have settled. Pitchers score the most points

2013 Fantasy Baseball, Total Run Series: Starting Pitchers, Group B
Fantasy players can go blind tracking down all of the starting pitchers. I’m cutting off the mark at 60. I do this knowing full well that there are probably an additional 30 to 40 viable starting pitchers in fantasy terms. Some of them have limited numbers because of injury while

2013 Fantasy Baseball, Total Run Series: SP Group A
If you want to get a good argument started amongst scouts and baseball insiders, float out the competing ideas of a number one starter and an ace. That should keep you going for a couple of hours at least. If you want to kindle that conversation then throw out a
2013 Fantasy Baseball: The Week 10 Closer Report
I was remiss in not covering the Baltimore Orioles’ closer situation here last week, but I’m not too concerned with Jim Johnson. Buck Showalter said he’ll stick with Johnson and I think he will. Heck, Joe Maddon keeps trotting Fernando Rodney out there. Some managers just give guys longer leashes
A Tale Of Two Catchers
The Houston Astros may strike out nearly 25% of the time and have performances where they are laughably bad. However, instead of being a league worst offense they way they have for the last several years, they rank 19th in total runs scored and 16th in team ISO. There are
DJ Peterson: The best hitter you know nothing about
National attention on top prospects for the upcoming MLB Draft has mostly centered on college pitchers Jonathan Gray (Oklahoma) and Mark Appel (Stanford) with Georgia High School stud Clint Frazier thrown in here and there for color.

Why I Am Selling High on Matt Carpenter
I have been one of the bigger bulls on Matt Carpenter for some time now. I have him in almost every league I am in, and have made trades (Bumgarner and Pedroia for Rizzo and Carpenter) to acquire him in one of the leagues I did not draft him. With
