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 […]

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 […]

Fantasy Baseball Players on the Verge of a Monster Season in 2012
Success in fantasy baseball is all about staying ahead of your competitors.

Sometimes it is not enough to know who […]
Fantasy Baseball: An Early Form of Social Media
The year was 1992. I entered into my very first fantasy baseball league. It was limited to American League players only and featured a points-based scoring system.

Quality Starters: Top Ten Fantasy Baseball Starting Pitchers for the 2012 Season
There are two schools of thought when it comes to fantasy baseball starting pitchers. The first states that you should grab some quality starters early in your draft (or use keeper spots for holding onto them). The second theory states that starting pitchers are way too inconsistent and therefore you should ignore pitchers until late in […]
Outfielders Choice: Top Ten Fantasy Baseball Outfielders for the 2012 Season
In most fantasy baseball seasons, the outfield is a prime source for all of your statistical needs. If you are in need of stolen bases, the league leaders were both outfielders. If you need power, 3 of the top 4 home run hitters in MLB were outfielders (counting Jose Bautista, who also qualifies at third base). The major league leader in […]

Fantasy Baseball: An Early Look at 2012 Sleeper Possibilities
A fantasy baseball sleeper can be defined in a number of different ways. What it really comes down to is the ability to draft a player at a lower position than they should be positioned.

Fantasy Late Bloomers: Turning a Strong Second Half in 2011 into 2012 Success
There are those who subscribe to the idea that when a baseball player has a strong second half in one season, it means that they are in line to put up good numbers the following season. This can particularly hold true for a player that may have struggled in previous seasons, one who has finally gotten a chance with additional […]
