Outfield of Dreams: Fantasy Baseball Outfielders in 2013
When looking at all of the spots on your fantasy baseball roster, outfield is the one position that can deliver stats across the board. In fact, it is very difficult to win your fantasy league without a big contribution from your outfield spots. It’s always a good idea to grab at least one of the […]
Red Hot Corner: Fantasy Baseball Third Basemen for 2013
What a difference a year makes. Entering the draft at this time last year, Jose Bautista (TOR) was the clear-cut number one choice at third base (and potential top 5 overall pick). Miguel Cabrera (DET) was not yet eligible at the position and Brett Lawrie (TOR) speculation was running rampant. Needless to say, the position has undergone some change. Fast forward […]
Second to None: Fantasy Baseball Second Basemen for 2013
When it comes to depth (or lack thereof) at a position in fantasy baseball, second base ranks right up there in terms of scarcity. It used to be that catchers were the bane of fantasy owners (and they still are a thorn in the side of the Fantasy Doctor). However, second base is a position that […]
First Rate: Fantasy Baseball First Basemen Rankings for 2013
When it comes to fantasy baseball draft day, I have tried many different strategies over the years. Many people will tell you that you need a ‘big bopper’ at first base to have a truly balanced line up. Although you can win your league in a number of ways, having a big bat in the […]
The Crazy Man Value of Billy Hamilton!
A guest post by Brian Jones via FeedCrossing Billy Hamilton won’t see much major league time in 2013, if any. Zack Cozart plays a solid shortstop and Dusty Baker is notorious in his preference for veterans and misuse of rookies. Hamilton is being played in CF, but the reality is that he needs a little more time […]
Backstop to the Future: Fantasy Baseball Catchers for 2013
There was a time when catcher was the worst position in fantasy baseball. The approach many owners took was to draft someone in the last rounds (or spend as little auction money as possible), stick him in your line up and pray he didn’t kill your batting average too much. If you listen to the Fantasy […]
Top Fantasy Baseball Keepers for 2013
It’s never too early to start looking at your fantasy baseball keepers for 2013. Once the season is over, many leagues require you to report your keepers as soon as possible. If that is the case in your league, you have no doubt already started to consider who the best of the best are at […]
Fantasy Baseball Stretch Drive: Rookies or Veterans?
Call it boring if you will, but when it comes to fantasy baseball, slow and steady wins the race. There is no better time of the year for me to put this theory into practise than down the stretch. As fantasy owners start to gear up for the final month, which in many leagues represent […]
Dear Mr. Fantasy: On the Offensive: Fantasy Baseball Strategy
I was reading a really great article over at Fantasy Baseball Crackerjacks about fantasy baseball strategy that got me thinking. The article talks about “Player Evaluation” as a strategy for fantasy baseball success. It also talks about “Cunning Strategy” as a means of besting the competition. I agree that a flexible approach is the key to […]
First Up: Fantasy Baseball First Basemen for the Stretch Drive
First base can be a critical position in fantasy baseball. All fantasy owners want to have that big bopping first sacker who will drill 40 home runs and pile up the run production numbers. However, in deep leagues or even shallow leagues with corner infield and utility spots, the good first basemen will all be […]
Catching the Wave: Fantasy Baseball Catchers in the Second Half
With the first half of the 2012 season behind us, we’ve seen a lot of disappointments, some over-achievers and a lot of surprises in regard to fantasy baseball.

Dear Mr. Fantasy: BABIP: An Indicator of Regression in Starting Pitchers?
Batting Average on Balls in Play (BABIP) can be used to determine how ‘lucky’ or ‘unlucky’ a pitcher has been when compared to the league average. The average BABIP for pitchers in 2011 was .295. The average so far in 2012 is .296. It is often said that baseball stats are subject to a ‘regression […]
Hot Off the Wire: Fantasy Baseball Players to Consider Adding

Dear Mr. Fantasy: Ace in the Hole: New Fantasy Baseball Number One Starting Pitchers
Most baseball teams have one. You know him. He’s that starting pitcher that is labeled as the “staff ace”, the guy who dominates the opposition, snuffs out losing streaks, and is without a doubt the best pitcher in a team’s starting rotation. In fantasy baseball, these pitchers are gold and their names carry a lot […]
