A Most Unlikely Fantasy Baseball All-Star

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

Andrew Bailey is an all-star.
Forgive yourself if you didn’t have Bailey on your 2009 Sleepers List for your fantasy baseball draft.
Bailey was a long-shot to earn a spot in the Oakland A’s bullpen this Spring.  In fact, Bailey had never pitched beyond Double-A.
And, when he did pitch at Double-A Midland in the Texas League last year, [...]

Fantasy Baseball Affects of Mark DeRosa Trade

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

The St. Louis Cardinals have acquired Mark DeRosa from the Cleveland Indians in exchange for relief pitcher Chris Perez and a player to be named later.
It’s hard to understand why DeRosa continues to get traded, except for the fact that the Indians, 11 games behind Detroit already, have given up for the 2009 season.  DeRosa becomes [...]

Lidge Back as Phillies Closer

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

In the meantime, you’ll have to settle for Baseball’s Hottest SISTER–Amanda Aardsma.  She’s first in the alphabet and first [...]

It Could Only Happen in Philly

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

If you drafted Brad Lidge as your closer, you probably didn’t follow our fantasy baseball relief pitchers advice: draft closers late, but always get one more than your competition.
After the season Lidge had last year, who wouldn’t want Lidge on their fantasy baseball team this year?  Lidge was perfect last year–41 for 41 in save opportunities [...]

WHIP Should Include Hit by Pitch

Monday, May 11th, 2009

If you play fantasy baseball, you know that WHIP has nothing to do with House Majority Whip James E. Clyburn.  You also know that it has nothing to do with a Devo song even if you do “WHIP it good.”  Jockeys don’t carry the fantasy baseball version.  A dominatrix won’t earn any extra money with [...]
