2012 Fantasy Baseball Articles

Written on 27 January 2012 by Jordan Simon
your-bust-is-showing-which-hitters-might-rebound-in-2012 Underachievement is part of the game, real and fantasy. Sometimes it’s an injury, including hiding it or returning too early from the DL. Obvious 2011 infirmary busts included Utley, ARod, Youk, HanRam, Mauer, Morneau, Figgins, Wright, Choo, Holliday, Zimmerman, Heyward, Posey —and that’s just the hitters.

2012-fantasy-baseball-mock-draft-round-8-reviewWhat do Brandon Morrow and Cole Hamels have in common? They both allow home runs at around the same rate. In 2011, Brandon Morrow allowed 1.05 home runs per nine innings, and for his career, Cole Hamels averages 1.09 home runs.  If they are the same, then why was Cole Hamels selected four rounds ago? While Brandon Morrow will lure fantasy baseball owners in with his...

randalls-rant-2-skills-vernon-wells-wishes-he-hadSkill Number 1 - Earning his salary. When Wells was shipped to the Angels, he still had over 87 million left on his obnoxious 7 year, 126 million dollar deal. How much of that remaining huge chunk of money did the Blue Jays eat? 5 million, yes, just 5 million, which could just be the best deal a G.M. has made in the last 10 years ridding the Jays of that horrendous contract....

point-counterpoint-yu-darvishThe Texas Rangers have signed Yu Darvish to a 6 year, 60 million dollar contract.  Add in the 51 million dollar posting fee, and Yu Darvish becomes the most expensive right-handed pitcher in baseball.   But what does this mean for Fantasy Baseball? I asked the same question to one esteemed writer here at Fantasy Gameday.  Below is the email corespondance...

Yesterday, the Rockies proceeded to trade Slowey to the Cleveland Indians for Zach Putnam. Who? I remember targeting Kevin Slowey in Fantasy Baseball drafts because he had outstanding control and a...

6-reason-why-you-should-not-draft-grady-sizemoreDon’t be greedy for Grady   Living in a Cleveland suburb, I have a unique view on the potential value of the Indian’s has been, Grady Sizemore. In the heat of the local political races, I saw a slew of signs disparaging a candidate named Grady. Don’t vote for greedy Grady was the tagline.

waiver-wire-week-17-whered-the-season-go It’s the last week of the season. * * Sigh * *   Most leagues had their championships during week 16, but some hold on until the bitter end, either with the finals in Week 17, or those that use a roto-style format and forgo the playoff system completely. Basically, every week counts, so I will toss out a few guys that you might want to consider if the injury bug...

feast-or-famine-week-16-ho-ho-ho Well, if you are like me, you are watching the fantasy Championships from the sidelines. Oh the season as riding along just fine, until the injury Grinch snuck up and reeked a bit of havoc on my squad. First was Fred Jackson’s injured calf that turned out to be a broken leg. Honest mistake. Once I had a paper cut and turns out I separated my shoulder…. Then was the...
