A couple days ago, I wrote an article about the Best Five Fantasy Baseball Books that every owner should read – if they want to win. In doing so, I mentioned how I believe Ron Shandler of BaseballHQ.com would be one of the faces on a Fantasy Baseball Mount Rushmore monument. When I wrote that, …
Becoming a Fantasy Sports Writer is not easy though. For over a decade, I’ve been asked by dozens of people, “How can I become a Fantasy Sports writer?” I’ve been writing Fantasy sports columns since 2000, starting with an old website called FFInformer.com, which led to my own site, and then several years at CBSSports.com …
Catchers are awesome. You should know this by now. But most people just don’t know what a great catcher means to a baseball team. The question is – do catchers in Fantasy Baseball mean just as much to their Fantasy team? You are forced to draft two catchers in Rotisserie (we’re really refer to Head-to-Head …
While most baseball fans are still tingling from the Chicago Cubs World Series win in Game 7 against the Indians, there’s one group of people that have been waiting for Spring Training even longer: Fantasy owners. What 2017 Fantasy Baseball changes do you need to know about before Draft Day?
While the 2016 Fantasy Starting Pitcher rankings certainly weren’t the first set of rankings you looked at this season, they are ones you’ll end up paying more than the normal amount of attention as the season wears on. There are reasons for this! Since Fantasy Baseball writers regularly expound on the great virtues of waiting …
In Fantasy Baseball, the outfielders position is unlike any of the others, despite having the looks of the other hitting positions. Our 2016 Fantasy outfielders rankings exhibit the differences you should understand. With other Fantasy Baseball positions, you’re usually dealing with mostly power hitters (corner infielders) or run producers with speed (middle infielders) or players …
In recent years, the third base position has thinned out just a bit, but you’ll certainly find that’s no longer true with our 2016 Fantasy Third Basemen Rankings. While it’s true that Edwin Encarnacion and Miguel Cabrera have defected over to the not-so-defense-heavy first base side, along with Ryan Zimmerman, there’s still no reason to …
Anyone that has read my columns over the past 15 years knows that I’m a big fan of the catcher position, and as usual, I kick off my rankings with the 2016 Fantasy Catcher Rankings. The position often gets looked over because the 30-HR hitters at this position are few and far between.
How often do we dip into the slow, plodding first basemen in order to bulk up on our power numbers? Our 2016 Fantasy First Basemen rankings are full of guys that swing a bit bat, but are adept on the field enough to stay out of the designated hitter’s spot.
It’s understood that our 2016 Fantasy Relief Pitcher rankings are likely going to change faster than any other set of position rankings on this site. It’s not to say ours aren’t good rankings, but instead, that even good closer rankings are subject to the insanity that is the ninth inning in Major League Baseball. Why …
I’m a much bigger fan of looking at individual position rankings for my cheatsheet, helping me see which positions have depth available, allowing me to build my best lineup. But looking at the top 250 Overall Fantasy Baseball Player Rankings has its advantages as well, especially in the early part of the draft. For the …
Remember back in the day when Alfonso Soriano and Bret Boone were crushing 30 bombs a season? As you look through these 2016 Fantasy Second Basemen rankings, you won’t find any 30-HR 2Bs, and you’ll be happy if you can even pull a 20-HR second baseman.
