Rounding The Bases: April 12th

Posted: 12th April 2010 by Ryan Hallam in MLB
Matt Garza allowed a leadoff home run to Felix Pie in the first inning and that was IT as he nearly threw a complete game.  Garza scattered six hits and three walks over 8.1 innings and struck out five.  This is two straight awesome starts for Garza and the second time that he pitched eight innings.  For those who might not remember, Garza was a major pitching prospect in the ...

Rounding the Bases: April 9th

OK, a couple of nights ago I watched an Angels game in which they broke the Guinness Book of World Records for most people wearing a Snuggie.  Now, on Friday I am watching the A’s/Angels and the Oakland announcers are showing their producer in an A’s Snuggie.  So, my question is, what is going on in California and Snuggies?  It is a freakin' blanket with ...

MLB Fantasy Baseball: Rounding the Bases, April 8th

Posted: 9th April 2010 by Ryan Hallam in MLB
Hopefully Neftali Feliz helped some of those who were freaking out after his first bad outing on Thursday when he pitched one inning and struck out all three.  Feliz is a stud, ladies and gentlemen, and I believe that he will be a starter at some point during the season.  Even until that time I think he has fantasy value because of the good number of strikeouts that he will ...

Rounding the Bases: Opening Day

Jimmy Rollins came into the season with a lot of questions, mostly about his power.  A season after his home run total was slashed by more than half, Rollins got off to a great start on Opening Day with two hits (including a triple) and his first stolen base of the season.  I would say that the days of him hitting 30 home runs are in the rear view ...

1. Ryan Braun, Milwaukee Brewers .320 average, 32 homers, 114 RBI, 20 steals, 113 runs Braun has been a stud pretty much since the day he stepped on the diamond in the major leagues and he has officially ascended to the top of the fantasy outfield.  He pretty much does it all and helps you across the board.  He gives you average, power, speed, and scores a great number of runs. At just ...

Fantasy Baseball’s Injury Risks: Pitchers

Posted: 27th February 2010 by Ryan Hallam in MLB
Injuries are definitely one of the more frustrating things that you have to deal with in fantasy baseball, as they are pretty much unavoidable and completely out of your control.  However, there are guys that you can identify as higher risks of ending up on the shelf more than others.  Some are worth the gamble because they are so good, others haven't dealt with serious injuries so they are a lower ...
