2010 Fantasy Baseball Preview
On Saturday I went over some position players, coming off of their rookie season, that could provide good value as late round picks. It was a solid group, but not nearly as solid as the group of second year pitchers ready to make an impact in 2010. Tommy Hanson may get all the hype, and for good reason, but past him, there are several extremely promising... Read More
Second Year Values – OffenseLet’s face it, rookies can get over-hyped. Everyone was convinced Matt Wieters was going to be a star right off the bat, myself included.

And rightfully so, the guy pitched quite... Read More

Nathan is still an elite closer... Read More

Phillies & others interested in Mike MacDougalThe righty reliever has drawn interest from multiple teams, the strongest being from the Phillies. MacDougal has closer experience, and despite his 4.31 ERA in 2008, he had 20 saves and just 1 blown save. MacDougal has a career total of 70 saves, with 19 blown saves, only 8 more than Lidge’s ‘09 total. If MacDougal lands in Philadelphia,... Read More
