Fantasy 40/40: Fantasy 40/40: Who’s Hot, Who’s Not

Who’s Hot

Yuniesky Betancourt MIL – He’s only batting .240-something on the season, but has been collecting multi-hit games recently and left the yard twice this past week.
Tony Gwynn Jr. LA – All kinds of issues for the Dodgers right now, but Mr. Gwynn seems to be playing just fine.  He’s taking advantage of the playing [...]

Fantasy 40/40: 2011 Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Top 30 First Basemen (1B)

A lot of the fantasy sites this season are claiming that first base is super deep and you can wait for a slugger in the later rounds.  This is true.  If you don’t mind having Billy Butler, Paul Konerko or Gaby Sanchez as your main guy.  Personally, I won’t wait that long and will grab [...]

Fantasy 40/40: Early 2011 Fantasy Baseball Rankings: TOP 30 Overall (21-30)

I’ve already posted my TOP 10 and 11-20.  Here are 21-30.  Once again, these are my early rankings as I see them now.  I’ve already made changes to my 1-20 and I’m sure this list will see tweaking at some point as well.  Here’s an early look at my rankings – subject to change.

Fantasy 40/40: Adam Dunn to Chicago White Sox

I have owned Adam Dunn, in some league, in each of the last five years.  Some hate the guy and refuse to draft him.  I am on the other side.
46, 40, 40, 40, 40, 38, 38.  Those are his HR totals every year since ‘04.  He moves from Washington Park (15th most HRs in 2010) [...]

Fantasy 40/40: Jayson Werth in Washington

Jayson Werth had perfect timing.  Having Scott Boras as an agent doesn’t hurt either.
Jayson Werth signed a free-agent contract with the Washington Nationals for $126 Million over seven years.  One hundred and twenty-six million… MILLION dollars for Jayson Werth.  Can you imagine having $126 mil?
Next question, would you pay to see Jayson Werth play?  I [...]

Fantasy 40/40: 2010 Fantasy Baseball Final Rankings: Top 40 First Basemen (1B)

The first base position in 2010 claimed nine of the TOP 100 overall fantasy players at season’s end (ten players if you include Jose Bautista and his four games at first).  At a position where depth and options seemed plentiful before the season began, first base became a bit of a let down.  Big boys [...]

Carmelo Anthony is staying put for now…  Good news for Knicks’ fans, the longer this thing draws out the better…
Congratulations to the Phillies on clinching the NL East on Monday night.  After a year of [...]

Fantasy 40/40: Fantasy Baseball News From Around the Diamond

Carlos Gonzalez COL – He 3 for 4 with a HR (24) and 2 RBI.  He’s a bona fide fantasy stud.
Torii Hunter LAA – Did you ever notice he spells his name with two “i’s?”  Weird.  Anyway, TorII went yard tonight, 18, and then went nuts on the umpire.  He.  Was.  Pissed.  Threw the ol’ [...]

Random Notes From Around the Diamond: Thursday Day Games

Carlos Pena TB – Went 3 for 4 with a HR and 4 RBI.  He’s batting a cut over .200 and has been kind of cold lately.  Only good for HR and BA aggravation.  He and Mark Reynolds are brothers from another mother.  Whose mom do you think would get pulled over in Arizona?
Carlos Gonzalez [...]
