2009 Preseason Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Pitchers

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

The next part of our 2009 preseason fantasy baseball rankings continue with the first version of our 2009 fantasy baseball starting pitcher rankings.
Johan Santana, the New York Mets ace, continues his reign at the top of preseason rankings after being our top rated pitcher last year. After the year he had in 2008 with limited […]

How Free Agency Affects Fantasy Baseball

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

In free agency, the top bidder nearly always wins.
Therefore, so does the wallet of the particular free agent. While there will be some financial windfalls for the following free agents, their fantasy stock may actually drop - or perceive to drop - should they leave their current digs for greener (as in money) pastures.
Below is […]

Brew Crew Pitch $100 Million To C.C. Sabathia

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

The Milwaukee Brewers have made a formal offer to resign C.C. Sabathia, the guy who single handedly carried the team (and many of you fantasy owners) into the playoffs this season.
After a terrible start to the season (with the exception of a few awesome two-start weeks) in Cleveland, Sabathia finished the year on fire in […]

World Series Fantasy Baseball Recaps

Monday, October 27th, 2008

You’ll notice that since I stopped making game predictions, the home team hasn’t lost a game in the World Series. Unfortunately for all those new, bandwagon jumping Tampa Bay Rays fans, it also means their team on the brink of elimination.
Ryan Howard made up for a largely dismal postseason in Games 3 and 4. […]

World Series Game 2 Fantasy Baseball Recap

Friday, October 24th, 2008

I’m officially done predicting winners for games in the World Series. After quickly predicting the Phillies would win Game 2 at the bottom of my post yesterday… they lost, 4-2.
B.J. Upton continued his postseason domination in Game 2, going 2-4 at the plate with one run scored and an RBI. The Rays centerfielder scored on […]

World Series Game 1 Fantasy Baseball Recap

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

Perhaps I will just stick to fantasy baseball instead of making baseball game predictions that turn out incorrect. The Phillies won Game 1, 3-2… and I have egg all over my face.
From a fantasy baseball perspective, Chase Utley was last night’s star. Our no. 1 ranked second baseman for 2009, went 2-4 with a homerun, […]

2009 Preseason Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Outfield

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

The repeat of our preseason rankings for 2008 continues with our preseason outfielder rankings in 2009.
Matt Holliday, Colorado Rockies outfielder, was our no. 1 rated outfielder heading into last season. After the year he had in 2008, there’s no reason to move him from the outfield throne heading into 2009.

Do We Underestimate The Rockies Fantasy Value?

Saturday, October 18th, 2008

We released version 1.0 of our 2009 fantasy baseball infielder rankings on Friday. Did you have a chance to look them over?
We got a comment about our lack of appreciation for players on the Pittsburgh Pirates - but doesn’t every fantasy baseball player carry a lack of appreciation for most Pirate players?
Some good commentary did […]

2009 Preseason Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Infield

Friday, October 17th, 2008

The last couple weeks, we’ve been combing through some in-depth analysis of 2008 season statistics and year end stock market values from our buddies at RotoHog. What have we assembled after all that analysis?
The most in-depth preseason cheat sheets for the 2009 fantasy baseball season.
After we honored him with our 2008 Fantasy Baseball MVP Award, […]

Fantasy Baseball Dugout’s 2008 MVP

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Fantasy Baseball Dugout spent a good part of the preseason dogging St. Louis Cardinals first baseman (and superstud) Albert Pujols. He had an elbow injury, and we didn’t feel safe about his draft status.
He did only play in 148 games this season and DID go on the DL… with a strained calf. While we told […]
