As we begin to take a closer look at the 2015 Fantasy Baseball First Basemen rankings, it’s important to take a look back at the position over the past few years to get an idea of what to expect going forward. We know the first base position is usually full of big, barrel-chested players whose …
I’ve already taken part in two mock drafts, including the first round of a 2015 Fantasy Baseball Mock Draft on FantasySports.About.com (with the second round posted on this site) and one that MLB.com hosted here. In both instances, Miguel Cabrera, who lost his third-base eligibility for 2015, was the top first baseman selected (second and …
We are back with another Interrogate the Industry. This week we're joined by Alex (@rotodealer) and Chris (@cmcbrien). We may have just missed the Jose Fernandez news, however we have great questions and answers this week irregardless. As always feel free to ask away on replacement ideas, or any questions to me on Twitter @fantsychillpony …
Because it takes it takes 910 at bats for batting average to stabilize, it is not very helpful to look at the small sample of at bats a player has had in 2014 (as the video below will show). When you try to decide whether or not to by into a player's early season slump …
Out of all the positional rankings this season, the 2014 Fantasy First Base rankings may actually be the deepest. Sure, Starting Pitching is still deep, and has plenty of young, high potential arms to fill out your squads, but it has been a while since Fantasy Baseball has had this many strong options at first …
Now that you have prepped, completed your cheat sheets, perused your draft guides, and burnt through highlighters it is time to focus on your 2014 Fantasy Baseball Draft Strategy. I will be focusing on the first three rounds in this article. Also, make sure to utilize mine, and many others rankings over at Fantasy Pros. …
While there is almost zero skill when it comes to the amount of RBI a player produces, through the creation of an expected RBI metric I have found a way to look at whether or not a player has gotten lucky or unfortunate when it comes to their actual RBI total. I hope I don’t …
For the third straight year, the Detroit Tigers advanced to the ALCS -- this time losing to the Boston Red Sox. They did this with the strength of their rotation, (156 GS by the top five and an AL record 1,428 strikeouts) and some lineup thump from Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder. The Tigers made …
Welcome to the 2014 Texas Rangers Preview! Last year could only be described as a disappointment for Texas Rangers’ Fantasy Baseball fans, as they went from No. 1 in team batting in 2012 to No. 8 last year. However, not all was lost as Yu Darvish finished as the AL runner-up in the Cy Young …
This is the first in an ongoing series of 2014 Profiles. I will be looking closer at MLB's top propects who will have a real Fantasy impact on the 2014 season. We are starting with Tigers' top prospect Nick Castellanos. Enjoy, and feel free to comment below, or even request more Prospects as well. There …
The holidays and the year 2013 are officially in the rearview mirror, but there is no slowing the 2014 MLB offseason. After a lengthy break from writing and most things Fantasy (except for Daily Fantasy Sports, I can't quit that) I am back to recap a few more winners of the Fantasy Baseball offseason. A …
This will be the first in a series of 2013 MLB Winter Meetings and evaluating Fantasy impact of the moves that are made. Come back throughout the Fantasy Baseball offseason, as we'll be tracking the trades, signings and roster cuts, and sharing how we think it affects the upcoming draft season. Feel free to drop …
The best way that I have found to come up with Fantasy Baseball projections is to take an existing statistical projection, and translate those numbers into fantasy value. Projections that use statistical models free players from fantasy analysts who have biases against players; “I’ll never own player X again after last year”; “He won’t be …
So Gonos zaps me an email, "Hey man, want to host a Fantasy Baseball Awards Show?" and I was all like "For sure, dude, love to." I didn't realize that I was going to be handing out quarterly Fantasy Baseball awards for a sport that doesn't even have quarters! Furthermore, there are no after parties, …
I have been enjoying telling stories, sharing links and other fantasy baseball goodies, but this week I'm going to name my April Fantasy Baseball All Star Team. I have no clear criteria and no idea who is on this team yet, or why I am picking anyone in particular, so lets see how it goes! …
I love good old fashion roto fantasy baseball, but points based head-to-head leagues are my favorite. I'm in 2 local leagues and am undefeated so far, which is awesome, but now I face my brother in both leagues in week 3. What are the odds? Don't answer that smart ass, it was a rhetorical question. …
