Each draft there are players fantasy leaguers go crazy for because of a breakout season the year prior. Often times the reasoning is unfounded because the player has never been nearly that good in his career. Most of the time he totally comes out of nowhere to ...

The Chicago White Sox have never been an organization to shy away from the unorthodox. The make trades that other teams may never even consider and they are not afraid to give youngsters an opportunity, which sets the stage for Daniel Hudson.
Drafted in the fifth round in 2008, Hudson pitched ...

There have been a few moves in recent days that have an impact on fantasy owners (not to mention the potentially major signing of Chone Figgins and the Mariners, which isn't "official" yet, so I will wait for that before commenting). Let's take a look and see which players have ...

With Major League Baseball recently revealing the players on the 2010 Hall of Fame ballot, I though I would weigh in on who I would vote for. Let's take a look:
The Definites:
Roberto Alomar - Everyone remembers him for the spitting incident and the latter years, which certainly has left a ...

The Braves' signing of Billy Wagner appears to signal a change at the backend of the Atlanta bullpen. While it is still possible that Rafael Soriano or Mike Gonzalez is brought back to the mix (though even more unlikely with the addition of Takashi Saito), does anyone believe they would ...

It was just two seasons ago that B.J. Upton posted a 24 HR, 22 SB season sending fantasy owners into a frenzy, thinking the next great outfielder had emerged. Since then, while the speed has proven to be real (86 SB the past two seasons), the power is nowhere to ...

Every fantasy owner is trying to find the next great sleeper, the player that they can look back to at the end of the season and say that they got a steal on him. As we head towards draft day 2010, we will be highlighting some players that you should ...

Last week we looked at players who saw a power surge in 2009 and tried to decide whose was for real and whose was an aberration (click here to read). Today, let's take a look at who saw their HR/FB regress dramatically and decide if it is cause for concern ...

The Tampa Bay Rays acquired catcher Kelly Shoppach from the Cleveland Indians in exchange for a player to be named later, according to Bill Chastain of mlb.com (click here for the article).
The move gives Shoppach a second chance, as it is assumed he will get regular catching duties for the ...

Did anyone think they would see the day where David Ortiz was sitting with an ADP of around 190? Two years ago that would be almost unthinkable, coming off a 2007 season where he hit .332 with 35 HR. Two years and 957 AB later, he has hit just .250 ...

Young shortstops are getting a lot of focus these days, but the names generally mentioned are Alcides Escobar and Elvis Andrus. There's a third speedster who belongs to be included in that group, the Padres' Everth Cabrera.
Before we get into too much detail, let's take a look at his line ...

We have all seen pitchers suffer from whiplash, consistently turning to watch ball after ball sore over the fence. The question is, is that a problem that is going to plague them once again or is there hope of overcoming it and righting the ship in 2010? Let's take a ...

What does a player do after he finishes his first full season in the major leagues with the fifth highest batting average, finish sixth in the NL in slugging, and seventh in the NL in OPS? Oh yeah and you constitute your team's offense and only fantasy-worthy hitter ...

There are some prospects who possesses a bat so good that an organization will try them anywhere across the diamond in order to find a spot. The St. Louis Cardinals have such a prospect in Allen Craig, who has played all over the infield as well as being tested in ...

Yesterday Topps released its All-Star Rookie team for 2009 and while there were some justified selections and some questionable ones, the player that has the most intrigue for me is the Mets' Omir Santos. He beat out phenom Matt Wieters, who most thought would be in contention to take home ...

In order to look at which player's had the biggest power surge from 2008 to 2009, I looked at the HR/FB rate for all players who had over 400 plate appearances in both season's. Let's take a look at the 10 biggest gainers and determine if their power surge is ...

Geovany Soto entered the 2008 season as a player with a ton of upside potential, having made his presence felt in a 2007 cup of coffee (.389, 3 HR in 54 AB). Having lived up to his potential, owners entered 2009 thinking that he was easily a Top Five catcher ...

For years we have been hearing about the promise of Billy Butler, though he had never quite lived up to the hype. Well, at least until 2009 when he got his first full season in the Major Leagues and posted the following line:

.301 Batting Average (183 Hits)
21 Home ...
