While Jimmy Rollins of the Philadelphia Phillies went home with the NL MVP hardware in 2007, it’s hard to argue against Matt Holliday of the Colorado Rockies being the most valuable player to any team in the National League last year.
If only MVP voting was held after the playoffs, right Rox fans?
Many will question his […]

There has been a lot of debate during spring training, and in fantasy baseball draft rooms, about who the top shortstop is for the 2008 season.
While it is difficult to argue against the reigning 2007 NL MVP (Jimmy Rollins of the Philadelphia Phillies) or the player most “experts” agree is the no. 2 player in […]

No surprise here… the number one player in all of fantasy baseball is also the number one rated third baseman to start the 2008 fantasy baseball season.
Alex Rodriguez, he of the 54 homerun MVP season in 2007 and $275 million contract, will always be the favorite Yankee of fantasy baseball players, even if Yanks fans […]

If you play in a fantasy baseball league that has weekly rosters, you’d be wise to load up on Red Sox and Athletics players for week one. That’s because Boston and Oakland will be the only two teams playing this week as the two clubs open up the MLB season in the Japan Series with […]

From the Fantasy Baseball Dugout “No $#!+” department- Chase Utley of the Philadelphia Phillies is the top second baseman in the game.
Utley had a great season in 2007 despite spending some time on the DL getting hit with a pitch on the hand. FBD expects more great things from Utley in 2008 after the Phillies […]

We’re convinced that Albert Pujols’ nagging elbow injury is the main reason his numbers dropped in 2007. We are also afraid to use a first round pick on him.
At the same time, there probably isn’t a better all-around first baseman in fantasy baseball than Pujols. The guy is consistently great and should have a very […]

My philosophy has always been to not pick a player who is not ready for the beginning of the Fantasy Baseball Season unless he falls so far down that you think he’s a bargain.

Jair Jurrjens, SP, Atlanta Braves
Jurrjens, the first pitcher to make the big leagues from Curacao, was a highly regarded prospect in the Tigers organization last season.
After going 3-1 in seven starts for the Tigers, Jurrjens was traded to Atlanta with another prospect for Edgar Renteria during the offseason. He had two short, bad outings late […]
