How the Ranger and Tigers Trade is a Win-Win

Last week blockbuster trade was a surprise to most people I’ve spoken to, but it makes sense for both teams.

Fantasy Baseball First Half: Rookies Trying to Live Up to the Hype

By Ben Hargrove Not every hyped prospect gets off to a start like Yasiel Puig.  But Wil Myers and Jurickson Profar are still expected to realize their great potential sooner or later.

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 […]

What’s Wrong With Josh Hamilton?

The Texas Rangers are 30-19 after 49 contests, leading the Angels in the AL West by 5.5 games after play on Saturday. The Rangers’ quick start can be attributed to their potent offense, which ranks fifth in the majors, scoring 5.44 runs per game. Ian Kinsler, Michael Young and Nelson Cruz have led the way […]
