Grady Sizemore, 2010 Fantasy Baseball
Grady Sizemore had arthroscopic surgery on his left elbow back in September. It was deemed a success and here we are a little under ten weeks later and the team says he’s near 100%. I’m not a doctor, but my first instincts are to say the team is lying. That’s the way I like ...

Carlos Santana, 2010 Fantasy Outlook
Carlos Santana is getting a 2010 fantasy baseball rookie post because I know people will ask about him. See, I’m psychic. BTW, I wouldn’t bring in the mail today. Just a bunch of bills and a 20% off coupon for Bed, Bath and Beyond. Carlos Santana is the catcher prospect the ...

Brandon Allen, 2010 Fantasy Outlook
Brandon Allen, 2010 Fantasy Outlook
razzball.com — Last year, Brandon Allen treaded his six-two, two-hundred and thirty-five pound man-gams through Double- and Triple-A before hitting the majors in August. And by hitting the majors, I don’t mean hitting in the majors. As Lil Jon once said in ... (more) Brandon Allen, 2010 Fantasy Outlook
Desmond Jennings, 2010 Fantasy Outlook
Last year, Desmond Jennings won the Rays Minor League Player of the Year honors. In Double and Triple-A in 2009, Desmond Jennings had a slash line of .305/.391/.457 while chucking in 11 homers. You might be thinking it was a slow year in the Rays organization. Yeah, the opposite is true ...

Andrew McCutchen, 2010 Fantasy Baseball
Sometime in 2009 it finally clicked in the collective Pirates brain that they needed to stop playing for now since they weren’t playing well for now anyway. And with that kernel of “ah-ha,” the Pirates sent McLousy off the plank and ushered in Andrew McCutchen , The Dread ...

Mike Stanton, 2010 Fantasy Outlook
First, I looked for anecdotal evidence on Mr. Stanton. I found in 2007 the Red Sox offered to trade Manny to the Marlins, while paying his salary, for Mike Stanton . The Marlins obviously refused. Interesting, but the last time Marlins traded a prospect for a big name was exactly never.  ...

Stephen Strasburg, 2010 Fantasy Outlook
razzball.com — This is what I’m hoping for… You know how in different cities — really just Philly, but I want it in different cities — there’s a core group of fans for a certain player and they personalize it with their own touch? For ... (more) Stephen Strasburg, 2010 Fantasy Outlook

Alcides Escobar, 2010 Fantasy Sleeper
razzball.com — This post was almost titled, “ Alcides Escobar , 2010 Fantasy Sleeper As Long As The Brewers Don’t Make A Boneheaded Decision To Start Hardy At Shortstop.” Lo and behold, the Brewers fermented their yeast and unloaded Hardy — ... (more) Alcides Escobar, 2010 Fantasy Sleeper
Fantasy Baseball Keeper League Strategy
Usually on Friday I go over one player who can be looked at keeping in keeper leagues, but the other day in the comments I was asked for some general fantasy baseball keeper league strategy. A request and dedication, if you will. For illustration purposes, let’s look at last ...

Scott Sizemore, 2010 Fantasy Outlook
With Grady Sizemore dealing with an elbow issue and Tom Sizemore responsible for The Smoking Gun updates, finally we have a Sizemore that had a good 2009. Scott Sizemore is the 2nd base prospect for the Tigers. I know what you’re thinking, Crapolanco’s got 2nd base locked down, ...

Dayan Viciedo, 2010 Fantasy Outlook
What I’d really like to see is a Major Leaguer go to Cuba to play. Kevin Youkilis grows out his beard another five inches, jumps in a raft and paddles to Havana. He tears up the Cuban Leagues on a steady diet of fastballs and plantains. This could end the Cold War for good. (It might ...

B.J. Upton, 2010 Fantasy Baseball
We continue our 2010 fantasy baseball keeper posts with B.J. Upton . At first, I was going to write about Justin Upton, but I figured he was such a no-brainer that I didn’t need to dedicate a keeper post to him. Of course he’s a keeper. B.J.’s much more interesting. In his ...

Top 40 Starters, 2009 Fantasy Baseball
How’s everyone holding up without baseball every day? I don’t know what to do with myself! Yesterday, I wandered into a Starbucks and told the coffeerista about Billy Butler for 2010. She told me where to find Manic Panic hair dye so I could dye my roots blue (which is a great ...
