One of baseball’s best outfielders, if not the best, will almost certainly be playing in a different uniform next year.
The Colorado Rockies have been actively shopping Matt Holliday, currently our no. 1 outfielder heading into 2009 fantasy baseball. The St. Louis Cardinals are the current front-runner to land the power-hitter. The major players in the […]
Homeruns are becoming more valuable in fantasy baseball.
That’s because homeruns are apparently becoming harder to hit. Homerun totals in major league baseball declined for the third consecutive year in 2008, even reaching a 15-year low. 2.01 homeruns were hit per game in 2008, down from 2.04 in 2007 and 2.34 as far back […]
Detroit’s Gary Sheffield blasted the 250,000th homerun in MLB history on September 8, 2008, in the second inning, off of Gio Gonzalez of Oakland.
Sheffield also hit the 249,999th homerun in MLB history in the first inning of the same game on September 8.
Paul O’Neill hit the 200,000th homerun back in 1999.

Below is […]
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 […]
The Philadelphia Phillies had a great week and a great celebration, but it’s back to business today. The first order of business is the anticipated naming of Ruben Amaro Jr. as the new general manager of the Phillies who replaces the retiring Pat Gillick.
Amaro’s first order of business appears to be the need to […]
Now that the World Series is over, the time for big market franchises to throw money at coveted free agents is at hand. So, naturally, the first transaction of the offseason occurred between those notoriously big-spending Florida Marlins and Kansas City Royals.
First baseman Mike Jacobs is on his way to Kansas City in exchange […]

Most of you know that BallparkBob is a huge Phillies’ fan and, although he tries to be impartial when it comes to writing about fantasy baseball, today, he just can’t help himself.
BallparkBob made national news last night at Citizen’s Bank Park with a sign that was extremely creative–even by Ballpark’s standards.
“Joe the Pitcher” was the […]
