The excellent Roto site Fantasy Phenoms comes out each year with their “Our Boys” . Some alums from last year include Clayton Richard and Carlos Gonzalez.

Jorge De La Rosa came onto the Colorado Rockies scene last year, and the team wisely stuck with him even despite his struggles. In 2008 he had an ERA approaching a 5.00, but managed to win 10 games and struck out 128 batters in 130 innings pitched. It was the Cool De La article over [...]

The word on the street is that your Tampa Bay Rays plan on shipping their number one pick Evan Longoria down to minor leagues. The reason they want him to play for the Durham Bulls (which is right in my backyard) has nothing to do with his track record, or his performance this spring. Mr. [...]

How old am I? I can remember when Carlos Delgado was coming up through the Toronto Blue Jays system as a catcher. His potent bat moved him from behind the plate. I guess at the time they had John Olerud at first. The people are saying that Delgado’s recent injury is nothing and he should [...]

We are already past “Pitchers and Catchers”, and the exhibition games for the 2008 baseball season are underway. Its that time of the year that baseball fantasy owners are monitoring very closely what is going on in the Cactus League in Arizona, and the Grapefruit league in Florida.

The Mets SS Jose Reyes in his young career has evolved into highly coveted player because of his ability to get on base, score a bunch of runs, a .300 batting average, home run ability, and his bread and butter the stolen bases. It was partway through last season, I made the statement calling Hanley [...]

The Mets David Wright not only wrapped up his first gold glove this season, he also came away with a distinquished title as well. You see, he led all of the National League batters except Todd Helton with a counting statistic called Times on base (TOB). The number of times reaching base as a result [...]
