The Indians need offense, so they made the move over the weekend to call up one of their best power bats in Bobby Bradley. The name might be boring an uninteresting, but that doesn’t mean the game is. What do we have with power-hitting Bobby Bradley? 23 years old Bats/Throws: Left/Right Height/Weight: 6’1”, 225 lbs […]

Jeff Mans and I were sitting around the metaphorical campfire, singing “Kumbaya” and talking about baseball, the future of the fantasy business and days of old. He reflected upon his Fantasy Alarm days and then, Eureka! Like a flash of lightning, the thought sprung from his mind… the MLB Weekly Preview. For those of you […]

SUNDAY AFTERNOON UPDATE Pitchers to Consider for deeper leagues Vincent Velasquez (RH/PHI) – Had somewhat of an audition to get his rotation spot earlier this week, and passed (just one hit allowed in 5 IP). Gets the Marlins again this week, then a tougher one @ ATL next week Logan Allen (LH/SDP) – Threw seven […]

Unless you own one of about five guys, your catcher position is a mess if you’re in a two catcher setup. We’ve got veterans doing nothing. We’ve got nobodies doing something. We’ve got injured guys struggling. Truthfully, the catcher’s spot has been a mess for years, but it’s even worse this season than in years […]

The 2019 season is underway and, predictably, it’s a disaster. Some teams seem to have no plan at all. Other teams are continually searching for answers to get the last out, either because of poor performance or injury. Very few are the situations that have nary an issue. Each week we will try to get […]

The Marlins are being forced to change things up with their rotation leading to Gallen and Yamamoto getting shots in the rotation. Shaun Anderson is another youngster in the NL. Should you be looking his way? Homer Bailey is having success. Really. DeSclafani is rounding into form. Flaherty is going in the other direction. Happ […]

  Power. Do your fantasy teams have enough of it? Home runs is a category that many of my fantasy teams seem to be struggling with. I’d like to solely blame Giancarlo Stanton for getting hurt in the first week of the season but the only one I can blame is myself for not seeing […]
