Damon out of New York?

According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, Johnny Damon wont be giving a home town discount to stay in New York (he didn’t in Boston, and he was a god there), and will be asking for a 3-4 year deal.
What does this mean? Well, it means he’s probably not going to be [...]

Yanks-Angels ALCS

The Yankees defeated the Twins tonight on the strength of a great performance by Andy Pettitte, setting up a great match up for the American League crown between themselves and the Angels, who finished off a sweep of the Red Sox earlier in the day.
Over the past few years, the Angels have dominated the Yankees, [...]

2010 Catcher Preview: Is Mauer a first rounder?

After looking at breakout pitchers on Monday, we continue our coverage of the 2010 fantasy season by getting an early peak at next year’s top  catchers. Instead of doing a top-10 or top-15, I’m going to break this into three tiers. After these three tiers, you can probably just take your pick, as no one [...]

What happened to Delmon Young?

Delmon Young had a pretty solid season last year, with a league average bat and a very good arm in right field making him a decent major league ballplayer. So what’s so bad about that? The problem is, the often forgotten Young was once considered the top prospect in baseball – for about 4 years.
Let’s [...]

Sleeper profile: Chris Dickerson

Chris Dickerson was drafted in 2003 out of college. He’s 27 years old and has yet to spend more than a month at the big league level. So why might he be drafted in some tradition, mixed 12 team fantasy leagues? Because after making big time improvements in 2008, Dickerson could grab a lineup spot [...]

Catching up: Lowe, Smoltz, Pettitte

In the past few weeks a few big moves have gone down. A trio of vetrans signed. The Red Sox signed John Smoltz, the Braves signed Derek Lowe, the Yankees signed Andy Pettite, and yes, Manny Ramirez is still a free agent. 
The Smoltz signing if obviously a high risk high reward deal. Smoltz was one [...]

Projecting RBIs

I hate RBIs. I hate what they stand for. I hate when announcers talk about how great RBIs are. I hate when “Hank Aaron’s greatest record is the RBI record.” I hate when players are picked in fantasy baseball leagues because they “drive guys in.” I hate when Joe Morgan writes books about baseball and says that, [...]

Breaking News: CC Sabathia a Yankee

Big news breaking early this morning. CC Sabathia has told GM Brian Cashman he will be a Yankee, and pending final details on a contract and a physical he will. More to come on this and everything else when I’m not so tired.

Krod to Mets, more to come…

Krod is a Met. Really all I have to say, but I will say more. This deal is un freaking believably stupid. Omar Mania should be fired. I will take his job, I am vaulenterring right now to help the Mets because whenever Krod goes to the National Leauge, well lets just say thats not [...]

GM for a day – Yankees

I’m going to take a page out of Baseball Prospectus’ book and play GM for a day with the New York Yankees. Note that this is a very good scenario for the Yankees and a lot of these moves may not happen. I made sure to stay within budget and sign guys that I thought [...]
