It’s amazing that despite all the changes that have gone on during the first half of the fantasy baseball season (Zach Greinke’s emergence, Raul Ibanez’s slugging prowess) that so many things continue to remain the same.
Take Albert Pujols, for example.
2008 FBD MVP. 2009 No. 1 rated fantasy baseball player.
And now, No. 1 overall player for […]
I’m sure Francisco Liriano owners drafted him with quite a sense of confidence this past March. In one and a half seasons of MLB service, Liriano posted a career record of 18-7 with 211 strikeouts in 197 career innings.
Even we had a pretty good feeling about Liriano. We weren’t expecting him to return to 2006 […]

Greenfield began his fantasy baseball (then known more commonly as Rotisserie Baseball) career in 1985 in the Philadelphia Lawyers Baseball League (I’ll bet trades took forever to negotiate in that […]
As of today’s posting, Zack Greinke of the Kansas City Royals is the no. 1 overall player in just about every fantasy baseball league format.
The righty is dominating hitters in 2009 and is the league’s only 6-game winner (still true - Roy Halladay now has 7 wins!). His 0.51 ERA, 0.79 WHIP, and 59 strikeouts […]
Part Two of our look at the under-appreciated hit by pitch statistic in fantasy baseball focuses on those players who will help your team on base percentages thanks to their willingness to “take one for the team.”
