There's No "Holding" in Baseball!

___________________________


A successful fantasy baseball team requires an approach much like that of players of the real game. Balance, steadiness, and consistency are what separate the top tier performers from the pretenders.

If you have the mentality that one or two stat columns can be sacrificed and that “ya can’t win ‘em all”…then prepare yourself to not “win at all.”

On occasion, you may steal a league ... Read More

Fantasy Baseball Freakout - Jason Isringhausen Style
Posted on May 26, 2009 at 03:09 PM.
Article written for PhilliesDigest.com
__________________________________

In recognition of Memorial Day, the hat was a familiar bold cardinal red, but Jason Isringhausen’s jersey was a neutral grey with the word “Rays” embroidered in deep blue across his chest. Beyond the red hat, Isringhausen’s performance in blowing a 9th inning lead was in itself a tribute, a memorial if you will, on the day devoted to just that.

So how fitting it was, that on a day where we ... Read More

Fantasy Baseball - Hold 'Em or Fold 'Em - Pitchers
Posted on May 21, 2009 at 02:17 PM.
In Part 1 of our Hold ‘Em or Fold ‘Em feature on fantasy baseball players we examined some of the more established players in the game that have us scratching our heads. Like their respective clubs, we sit on a fence about whether we should finally cut ties and risk losing points to another member in our league, or hang on in hopes that the law of averages will swing in our favor.

After going half a season without one, David Ortiz finally broke through with a home run in last night’s ... Read More

Twitter post equals violation by Vols, Kiffin
Posted on May 20, 2009 at 09:31 AM.
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4181532

As if Lane Kiffin hasn't had enough publicity lately, an assistant (on his first day on the job) posted information about a recruit that had signed with Tennessee earlier that day.

NCAA regulations require that a university not mention unsigned recruits by name or promote them as such.

It's a simple violation and one that the university will simply self-report and receive a slap on the wrist for.

Fantasy Baseball Hold 'em or Fold 'em - Part 1
Posted on May 19, 2009 at 03:37 PM.
Adding a player to your fantasy team when there is an empty spot is one of the easiest choices you will make as the owner of a team. Conversely, dropping a player isn’t quite as easy or as much fun. An acquisition brings hope. Unloading a guy means you’ve had enough and you’re eager to let go of the excess baggage.

But sometimes it’s not that easy. At least it shouldn’t be.

Consider the time and thought that goes into a decision to add a player. Now take that span, ... Read More

Top Ten Fantasy players on the decline
Posted on May 15, 2009 at 02:35 PM.
Hopefully you’ve taken the opportunity to grab some of the rising players in fantasy baseball for the 2009 season.



In the past couple of days since the Top 10 list of players on the rise, some of those very late bloomers have shown their worth. Denard Span continues to raise his average with clutch hitting for the Twins, Helton is ripping at his peak pace, and Juan Pierre has finally found a comfort zone with the job in the Dodger’s outfield solely his own.

Pete Rose Supporting A-Rod for HOF
Posted on May 14, 2009 at 11:53 AM.
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4166083

I agree with Pete that steroids are a greater crime in baseball than betting on your team as a manager.

However, Mr. Rose needs to distance himself from names like A-Rod if he wants to clean his image and hope for support to grow for his reinstatement.
