With trade negotiations from last week at a virtual stand still (unresponsive after getting closer), we will bring it back to Splitsville for the week.

With the injury bug biting so many ninth inning men early on in the season, I feel it would be prudent to take stock of where saves can be gathered now and later on in the season. Though I don’t fully subscribe to the theory that closers grow on trees and drafting them is […]

Mailbag Monday

Today’s mailbag questions are all focussed on game strategy, which can make or break your team’s fantasy performance.

On The Wire - 4-26-08

Thank you to everyone that participated in the online chat and real-time help. Here is this weeks installment of waiver wire talk.
