In the Week 8 edition of fantasy baseball 3×3, we’re giving appreciating Andre Ethier, pumping the brakes on Ian Kennedy, and wringing our hands over Matt Kemp. There are plenty of waiver wire columns out there that provide an exhaustive list of the most added players in fantasy leagues. This

If you read only one thing….. Welcome to the Fantasy Baseball Nightly recap. On Friday, the stars came out to play. One of my favorite lines from literature sums up the night. On a long enough timeline, the survival rate drops to zero. Similarly, if you wait around long enough

The last few weeks I have dug deep for free agent options, so this week I chose to highlight a few of players that are less widely available and are more helpful for shallower mixed league gamers. Don’t worry, though, if you’re in large mixed leagues and only formats, I

One of the great things about watching baseball is that you never know what you are going to see in a particular game. The uncertainty is what keeps us intrigued over a marathon of a season that consists of 162 games. Any avid sports fan will tell you that if

The last group of starters in the National League is the kind you only use in National League only leagues. After all, when we do the math on the first two tiers, we find more than 40 guys in the first two tiers. That includes pitchers with more than 100
