Has the Good Brett Myers Returned?
Has the Good Brett Myers Returned?

Mike Podhorzer Mike Podhorzer posted 10 hours ago from www.fantasybaseballgenerals.com

After another excellent outing since his return from the Minors, Brett Myers is finally turning around his season as I had suggested he would many times here. As you have no doubt read by now, he’s posted a 1.94 ERA over 41.2 innings in 6 starts since spending a couple of weeks down on the farm. Let’s look deeper to find out if his success should continue or if he’ll fall back into his early...

Top Five Stories–Cincinnati Reds
 

Published 11 hours ago by Patrick DiCaprio at THE FANTASY BASEBALL GENERALS

Not too much competition for the number one slot here, but there are a lot for the number five slot. Read on, Reds fans! 1. The Blossoming of Edinson Volquez -His season would be a good contender for the biggest fantasy story of the year, much less the biggest story for the Reds. Cincinnati already has the nation’s best ice cream , and now they have one of its best pitchers. Sadly ...

Inside The Box August 21st Edition

ElvisCat ElvisCat posted 12 hours ago from www.fantasybaseballgenerals.com

Thoughts on a professional hitter with a 23-game hitting streak, why you shouldn’t manage for a statistic, a home run hitter on pace to accomplish a feat not done by either Aaron or Mays, a pitcher who is 4-0 since re-joining his playoff-contention team in early August and lots more.

Top Five Fantasy Stories - Minnesota Twins

vegasman2000 vegasman2000 posted 2 days ago from www.fantasybaseballgenerals.com

It’s been heady times for Twins fans, as the team has kept even with the White Sox for the division title, and some young players have started to blossom. It’s all the more fun that it’s happening the season after Johan Santana and Torii Hunter left town. Here are the top five fantasy stories that have played a big part for the team this year.

Arguing With Myself: Jimmy Rollins
Arguing With Myself: Jimmy Rollins

Mike Podhorzer Mike Podhorzer posted 2 days ago from www.fantasybaseballgenerals.com

I’m going to try a new type of column today that came to me out of nowhere yesterday. As the title of the article suggests, I’m going to be arguing with myself! Mike1 will be in bold and Mike2 will be in italics. Each Mike will have his own opinion on a player and debate his side. I’ve decided to start with last year’s MVP, Jimmy Rollins, who is having a bust of a fantasy season after likely...

Top Five Stories–Chicago Cubs

vegasman2000 vegasman2000 posted 2 days ago from www.fantasybaseballgenerals.com

Virtually no one thought Dempster would be any good this year. Not only is he excellent, he is a legitimate Cy Young contender. His strikeout rates from May to August are 9.6, 7.0, 8.9 and 11.7(!). His 2.92 ERA and 1.16 match up well with any other NL pitcher in contention, including C.C. Sabathia and Brandon Webb. He is even getting grounders on 50% of his batted balls....

Today’s brief examines which slugger tied Lou Gehrig, which player with a .921 OPS at home carries a .288 SLG on the road, which hitter has a .649 winning percentage when he’s in the lineup, the baseball equivalent of “if a tree fell in a forest and no one hears it, does it make a sound” and more.

Is there a more boring team to write about than the Nats? I actually chose to write about them today rather than the Mets because trying to narrow down all the Mets stories this year into just the top 5 is quite a task!

What Is Wrong With Justin Verlander?
 

Published 3 days ago by Patrick DiCaprio at THE FANTASY BASEBALL GENERALS

A few of the Generals picked him to win the Cy Young this season. Oops. After a bad start he seemed to be turning it around but has since gone off the deep end. Or has he? Verlander’s season has essentially been a disaster to fantasy owners. With only one good month to his credit this year and an overall erosion in results one naturally must ask what has gone wrong. In 2008 he has ...

Another Look at the Postseason Odds

A month ago, we examined the postseason odds produced by Baseball Prospectus ‘ estimable Clay Davenport and his powerful simluation. Since then, some playoff races have remained fluid (see the AL Central), while others have solidified (AL West). What do the likely playoff scenarios look like now?

Recap Of The Fantasy Face-Off Premier
 

Published 6 days ago by Mike Podhorzer at THE FANTASY BASEBALL GENERALS

Last night Brian Joura and I aired the premier of The Fantasy Face-Off radio show on Blog Talk Radio. After some panicky times in the hour leading up to the show including my Internet connection being down and Brian calling the wrong phone number (you could even hear us before the intro music starts…way to go Brian!), I think the show was a fantastic success. We debated 7 fantasy ...

Top Five Fantasy Stories–Atlanta Braves

Mike Podhorzer Mike Podhorzer posted 6 days ago from www.fantasybaseballgenerals.com

As a Braves fan, it hurts me to write about them after such a disappointing season, but here goes… 1. The emergence of Jorge Campillo and Jair Jurrjens. Raise your hand if you had even heard of Campillo before this season. Me either. Already 30 years old, Campillo represents yet another example of why so many fantasy players wait to draft pitching late.
