The Los Angeles Angels continue to make over their team as they head down the stretch, this time with an internal move, promoting Triple-A outfielder Peter Bourjos to serve as the new center fielder. The move pushes Juan Rivera to a back up role for the time being. Bourjos was hitting .314 in Triple-A with 13 home runs, 52 RBI and 27 stolen bases. Definitely a player to target in Al [...] Continue Reading…

2010 MLB Trade Deadline – Rising / Falling

Rising:

Brett Wallace – the trade of Wallace to Houston coupled with the expected trade of Lance Berkman to the New York Yankees should give Wallace value for the remainder of the season at first base. Wallace was hitting .301 in Triple-A with 18 home runs and 61 RBI in 385 at bats.

Daniel Hudson – while most scouts view him as a number four or five starter with [...] Continue Reading…

2B – Alexi Casilla – the injury to Orlando Hudson makes Casilla relevant for a few weeks in Minnesota. If your team [...] Continue Reading…

The Minor League Report – Week 17

Here is a look at the latest news and notes from around the minor leagues from a fantasy baseball perspective in the week 17 minor league report.

The celebration injury suffered by Chris Coghlan in Florida opened the door for top prospect Logan Morrison to be recalled from Triple-A. Morrison, a first basemen who had recently begun working in the outfield, got the start in left field while hitting second in the order. He went 1-for-4 in the game with a strikeout. Morrison was hitting .307 in AAA with six home runs and 45 RBI in 238 at [...] Continue Reading…

Here is a look at the fantasy baseball closer report for week 17. It contains all of the most recent closer news, plus the current closers and the current handcuffs.

2010 Lineup Planner – Week 17

Here is a look at the latest news and notes from around the diamond to help you set your fantasy baseball lineup for week 17.

American League:

It looks like the Texas Rangers have been scouting corner infielders in the likes of Jorge Cantu from Florida and Ty Wigginton from Baltimore as well as Mike Lowell in Boston. Reading the tea leaves, that could spell trouble for Chris Davis at first base. Since taking over after Justin Smoak was traded, Davis is hitting .200 with no home runs and one RBI in 45 [...] Continue Reading…

2010 Waiver Wire – Week 17

Here is a look at some potential players to target in your fantasy baseball league that might be out there on the waiver wire for week 17.

American League only:

2B – Scott Sizemore – I’m sure many AL and mixed league owners drafted this guy hoping to make a splash with him.  After hitting just .206 to begin the year, the Tigers sent him back down to Triple-A.  He’s been recalled [...] Continue Reading…

2010 Strategy – Free Agent Bidding on a Budget

One of the challenges in playing fantasy baseball is handling the waiver wire and the process becomes even more complex if you play in a league that uses dollar amounts instead of some order of the standings or another method. With that in mind, I wanted to take a look at some of the numbers from my main event NFBC team through this past weekend and see if there is some conclusions that can be drawn.

The league is a 15 team mixed league format with a $1,000 FAAB budget per team. Minor league players cannot be bid on until [...] Continue Reading…

The Minor League Report – Week 16

Here is a look at the latest news and notes from around the minor leagues from a fantasy baseball perspective in the week 16 minor league report.

The Milwaukee Brewers recalled center field prospect Lorenzo Cain from the minor leagues last week, but in typical line up mismanagement that has plagued the team the last few years, for some reason they still want to run out Carlos Gomez and Jim Edmonds to center field. It makes one wonder why Cain was promoted in the first place. Cain has received only three at bats after hitting .326 between two [...] Continue Reading…

Kevin Gregg may have picked a bad time to struggle for the Toronto Blue Jays but it may help him keep his job as closer by reducing his trade value. Gregg almost blew a save on Saturday but was pulled after allowing three walks, but did blow the [...] Continue Reading…

Here is a look at some potential players to target in your fantasy baseball league that might be out there on the waiver wire for week 16.

American League only:

SS – Yunel Escobar – The trade from Atlanta to the  Blue Jays can only help Escobar after hitting a miserable .237 in zero home runs and only 19 RBI.  Last year, Escobar hit .299 with 14 home runs and 76 [...] Continue Reading…

Pitchers Missing Starts in Week 15

Instead of focusing on two-start pitchers in week 15 with a half slate of games, this article is going to focus only on those pitchers that are not starting in week 15. The last thing you want to do is have any pitchers in your line up that produce no stats and put your fantasy baseball team right behind the eight ball right out of the second half gate.

Here is a look at the pitchers that will be missing starts in week 15. Some teams have three games while others have four, so you will see either one or [...] Continue Reading…

Second Half Preview – Hitters – Outfield

Now that the first half of stats has wrapped up, here is a look at some of the surprises and disappointments from a fantasy baseball perspective from the first half and what the forecast looks like for the second half in regards to outfielders.

On a more positive note, there were a ton of surprises in the outfield in the first half, but that is to be expected with so many more players at one position than anywhere else on the diamond.

Corey Hart of the Milwaukee Brewers heads into the second half second in RBI among outfielders [...] Continue Reading…
