Patrick Imhoff shares some great advice on which players whose cards you should target for cheap investments!
I recently turned 50, and I turned introspective for a bit, looking back at my long life. I thought back to when I lived on Walton Mountain (ask your parents), churned my own butter and watched TV with the aid of an antenna covered in tin foil. My sports cards meant the world to me …
The last week of the Fantasy regular season is upon us and the Week 13 Fantasy Football rankings are chock full of players from all 32 NFL teams for the first time in a long time. Normally, I’d do a chatty writeup about something interesting going on in Fantasy Football right now, but with three …
With a few illnesses, technical issues and an all time awful week in the Meyers' household, I still was able to squeeze a few questions out of Michael Rathburn (@FantasyRath). Michael himself is a busy fellow, and keeps occupied at the sites www.rotowire.com/daily, and www.dailyfantasysportsnetwork.com. Be sure to follow his work, ESPECIALLY if you partake in DFS. …

Collin McHugh has given us many reasons to believe that he is a fundamentally different pitcher than he was in the first two years of his career, but there is one reason that explains why McHugh has performed so well this year and suggests, “Don't pick up Collin McHugh.” The curveball has been a source …
Over the past four months, I’ve been scrambling around with my hands in a number of projects, which has really inhibited my ability to write and update for my own site. That stops today, just one month after celebrating my site's two-year anniversary! Well, it doesn’t “stop” so much as it just “changes,” as most …
The ongoing series of 2014 Fantasy Profiles continues, this time with Twins prospect Byron Buxton. I will be looking closer at MLB’s top prospects all offseason, as well as throughout the season, focusing on players who will have a real Fantasy impact on the 2014 season. When the top prospects got released, or continue to …
The best way to get a handle on everything that has happened in baseball over the past offseason is to check out MLB Team Previews, so we gathered 30 Fantasy Baseball writers from 30 different Fantasy sites to chip in one team apiece. As you might know, I consider the Fantasy Baseball industry to be …
Center fielder Mike Trout is the engine for this team and is the clear 1.01 in every draft format. However, as in real life, he can’t do it alone and the eternal question of "just how good can he be" echoes. However, look across the diamond. Albert Pujols was that good a decade ago and …
As lucky and wondrous as the San Francisco baseball seasons were in 2010 and 2012, were the years 2011 and 2013 askew. Injuries, sub-par performances, and the cosmic giggle caught up with the Giants -- a team built upon pitching the last few years -- contributing to real and virtual chaos for the McGowan family and …

Welcome to your 2014 Arizona Diamondbacks Fantasy Baseball preview! While 2013 was a down year, from a Fantasy perspective, for many D-backs not named Paul Goldschmidt at least, who finished second in NL MVP voting behind his huge year. But 2014 provides an opportunity for a turnaround for some of their disappointing outputs. It has been …
The Pittsburgh Pirates finally rose from the depths of obscurity in 2013 by making the playoffs for the first time since 1992. "Pirate Fever" ran wild through the Steel City as the organization shared a glimpse of what the future likely holds for a ballclub that has one of the deepest minor league systems in …
After suffering through baseball’s worst record from 2011–2013, the Astros and their fan base need something to look forward to. During the past three years, they are 118 games worse by record than baseball's best team, the Texas Rangers (280-206). To make matters worse, the Astros are 33 games worse over this time frame than …
The 2014 Cleveland Indians have potential in several areas, although most of their players will come off the draft boards a little later on Draft Day. There are, of course, a few above average players, like Jason Kipnis and Carlos Santana, but for the most part, the remainder of the team will be lineup fillers …
What a difference a year makes. Last year at this time, the Royals were on a lot of sleeper lists as the team to watch out for. Armed with a young nucleus, whose lineup was potentially lethal, the team seemed to be just a few pitchers away from becoming serious contenders. When the Royals traded …
Before we delve into the 2014 Tampa Bay Rays, let's discuss last year's club. Another year with a Bottom-Five payroll and another year with a Top-10 finish in the standings. Yaaaaawn. This whole "small market" thing has to be getting boring for Rays GM Andrew Friedman. By focusing on building his organization through the draft …
Last week, I got a digital copy of my favorite Fantasy Baseball magazine, “The Fantasy Baseball Guide 2014" and once again, I come away incredibly impressed. As I've mentioned in the past, like an old character actor dropping names at a party, I worked on several Fantasy Baseball magazines in my 14 years writing about …
Let’s face it -- unless you’re talking about the Lovable Losers’ past, you’re talking #CubbiesIn2017. The talk in fake circles last season was Anthony Rizzo leading the Baby Bears with 23 home runs, to the tune of a underwhelming .233 batting average and .323 on-base percentage. Similarly, Jeff Samardzija fanned 214 batters, but only won …
The 2013 Washington Nationals epitomized the plexiglass principle, giving back 12 of their 98 wins from the previous season. Fans and Fantasy owners alike suffered whiplash from the inevitable regression, ill-timed injuries, and the inability to catch a break. Meanwhile, the young stars who were supposed to make up for it had their own problems. …
The Phightin’ Philadelphia Phillies provided some hopeful flickers of optimism in 2013, but it will remain a season marked as a low point in the franchise’s effort to squeeze out one more moment of dominance from the World Series core. The negatives hit hard for fans and Fantasy owners alike as we witnessed a future …

Will the 2014 Miami Marlins be much different from the 2013 version? It’s not surprising that, after trading away nearly all of the franchise’s Fantasy worthy talent before the start of the season, the Miami Marlins finished the year at the bottom of the NL East. However, losing 100 games didn’t stop the 2013 version …
Before we get into the 2014 Boston Red Sox, let's look back at last season. You don’t win the World Series without ample talent, and the 2013 Boston Red Sox were no exception. Their championship roster was anchored by the only offense to surpass 800 runs (853), and they scored 7.2% more runs than Detroit’s …

There is a special class of Fantasy Baseball player who we like to call "post-hype players." Basically, if a prospect has lots of buzz around them -– think Colby Rasmus -– and they have a dismal start to their major league career, there is a definite tendency to write them off. However, in many instances, …
With this year's baseball season quickly approaching, many Fantasy fans already have their eyes on the movers and shakers – and possible Fantasy dark horses -- that will make the 2013 season a memorable one. Knowing these players will give you an inside tip on whom to watch out for during the regular season, and …
I recently got a digital copy of “The Fantasy Baseball Guide 2013” magazine, and I have to say I’m thoroughly impressed. During my time at CBSSports.com, we churned out several Fantasy Baseball magazines over the five years I was a writer there. So I have a soft spot for this medium, as a writer, and …

We know how much the 2012 Fantasy Rookies helped owners out, especially Robert Griffin III, Andrew Luck and Doug Martin. Paymon Shokoohi did a great job …
It's safe to say that the 2012 Fantasy quarterback rankings have never looked as strong as they are this year. It's very likely that you're going to see TWO quarterbacks taken in the first round of your draft, and then see three more quarterbacks taken in the second round. We're coming off of the most …
Matt Vinnola has been the Texas Rangers Director of Baseball Operations since 2009, assisting General Manager Jon Daniels with day-to-day operations and other functions within the department. Before that, he worked in the front office of the Colorado Rockies for 12 years – including their “Rocktober” in 2007, when they completed the fifth-greatest comeback in …
Think back to last season, and how a few of your leaguemates had begun to forget to set their lineups in August, and how a few of your leaguemates spent weeks complaining about a certain rule. So now is as good a time as any, before your draft and with your owners attentive, to make …
