Bullish on ERA
fantasybaseballmacbookpro.blogspot.com — Chien Ming Wang - Owners, it is still early in the season and you shouldn't panic with... Wang. Just because he's throwing batting practice during games doesn't mean he isn't worth something to fantasy owners. At this point, keep him on your bench. Have him pitch a few more times and see where ... (more) Bullish on ERA
Burnett worth it?
fantasybaseballmacbookpro.blogspot.com — AJ Burnett - This guy sure does know how to pitch, just as long as he's healthy... and not on the DL. The guys who took a chance on AJ are cashing in big time so far in his two starts. I still don't see him lasting the whole season. His record shows that he's vulnerable to injury. I would ride his ... (more) Burnett worth it?
Starters=Volatility
Starters=Volatility
fantasybaseballmacbookpro.blogspot.com — Cliff Lee - Again, this is why you should never waste a high draft pick on any... pitcher, except Johan Santana. They are too volatile. They have too man ups and downs when it comes to performance and injury risk. Lee was lit up for 4ERs over 5IPed. If you were an owner who drafted Lee high ... (more) Starters=Volatility
Notes
fantasybaseballmacbookpro.blogspot.com — Emilio Bonifacio - Adds to his to steals total. Now has 4 steals for the young year.... Steals is a category in fantasy and this guy is someone you should throw into you OF or UTIL spot. Ride the hot hand and see what it can give you. Closers - I preach grabbing a solid closer or two in the draft ... (more) Notes
Panic
fantasybaseballmacbookpro.blogspot.com — Please do not panic if you had a 0-40 day with your hitters and a miserable day... on the mound like Sabathia and Verlander. It's day one!!! (more) Panic
Opening Day
fantasybaseballmacbookpro.blogspot.com — Okay, officially it was on Sunday but I don't consider that opening day since there was only... one game played. The fantasy season is officially here and for most of us this day couldn't come sooner. Here are a few things I noticed on the first day. Oh yeah, hope all your drafts went smoothly. CC ...

Mike Jacobs
Mike Jacobs
fantasybaseballmacbookpro.blogspot.com — Dude can hit. Spring training is treating him and the Marlins well. Mike Jacobs has 5HRs and... 12RBIs so far and he's still under 30 years old. He's over the golden 27 but he still has the potential for a big season for owners. If you are in need of power than he might be it. You will have to ... (more) Mike Jacobs
Thoughts
fantasybaseballmacbookpro.blogspot.com — Joba Chamberlain - Spring training started off slowly for him but he seems to have found his... groove. I am still not sold on him and would not take him in a draft until the mid-teens. Since the Yanks want to take it easy on this pitcher, don't expect him to throw more than 140-160 innings this ... (more) Thoughts
A-Rod Update
fantasybaseballmacbookpro.blogspot.com — He's out 6-9 weeks. Ok, this is great news if he can stay healthy for the rest... of the year because he is due for a second surgery at the end of the season. First surgery is just to hold him through until the second one. Owners should stay away from A-Rod in the first round. There is too much at ... (more) A-Rod Update
A-Rod
fantasybaseballmacbookpro.blogspot.com — The whole situation with A-Rod is a little complicated. But if you want to look at it... from a simple point of view think about it this way. A-Rod is a first 2 to 3 picks in any draft, there is no doubt about it. But now that there is a medical issue so how far will he drop. I would recommend not ... (more) A-Rod
Manny
fantasybaseballmacbookpro.blogspot.com — The Manny situation is finally over. It was a pretty stupid few weeks where both sides tried... to get their way. Anyways, back to the fantasy world. No matter where Manny goes he is going to hit and he's going to hit as a premium fantasy hitter. So, his signing doesn't change his fantasy status. ... (more) Manny
Randoms
fantasybaseballmacbookpro.blogspot.com — Carl Pavano had a healthy 2 innings for the Indians and found a way not to land... himself on the DL. This guy has the stuff still and if he ends up pitching 25-30 games this year you might have a gem on your hands. If you have a late round pick and you are kind of filled with most of your ... (more) Randoms
Johan & Webb
fantasybaseballmacbookpro.blogspot.com — Both Johan and Webb complained of pain in their arms. Since this is spring training I would... chalk it up to being normal pain that pitchers experience while getting ready for the regular season. I do wonder how long Santana can go without having some sort of arm problem. But make sure to keep an ... (more) Johan & Webb
Vernon
Vernon
fantasybaseballmacbookpro.blogspot.com — I guess the stretching didn't do what it was suppose to do, prevent injuries. Vernon is out... for a month due to a hamstring issue. Fantasy owners who are drafting soon should take note of this and make sure you let him slide in the draft. Injuries like this usually seem to linger if not taken ... (more) Vernon
Albert
fantasybaseballmacbookpro.blogspot.com — It usually isn't good news when a player pulls out of a competition, especially one where they... would be representing their country. But, Albert Pujols of the Cardinals will not represent his country in the upcoming WBC and for you fantasy owners, this is might turn out to be a blessing in ... (more) Albert
Small Signings
fantasybaseballmacbookpro.blogspot.com — Bobby Abreu is signed and will play for the Angels. He has value as a 2nd OF'er... with his ability to hit 15-20HRs and steal 20 bags. Draft him with the intention of him stealing 20 but don't be surprised if he takes 30 this year with the agressive base tactics that the Angels follow. Delmon ... (more) Small Signings
Fantasy Baseball - Innings Limit
fantasybaseballmacbookpro.blogspot.com — What owners should do with their innings limit with 4 weeks left in the fantasy season.... (more) Fantasy Baseball - Innings Limit

Fantasy Baseball - Greg Maddux
fantasybaseballmacbookpro.blogspot.com — With the trade of Maddux to the Dodgers, again, is he going to live up to his... 2006 Dodger season? And why he might be a sleeper for the final month of the season. (more) Fantasy Baseball - Greg Maddux
Fantasy Baseball - Shutting Down Pitchers
fantasybaseballmacbookpro.blogspot.com — The end of the season is near and young pitchers who are reaching uncharted innings might be... bound for the bench so who are they and what should you do. (more) Fantasy Baseball - Shutting Down Pitchers

Fantasy Baseball - Mr. Street
fantasybaseballmacbookpro.blogspot.com — In the revolving door of closers, Mr. Huston Street of the A's now finds himself pitching in... the early innings (5,6,7) instead of the 9th. Where should owners look now for saves. (more) Fantasy Baseball - Mr. Street
