Top 10 Fantasy Third Baseman (3B) – As of July 12th
Jose Bautista TOR – .334-31-65-73-5. You could argue that “Joey Bats” was the first half MVP, putting up gaudy numbers and proving last year was no fluke. You could also argue that he’s the best hitter in baseball right now. Does he reach 50? He’s [...]
Top 10 Fantasy Shortstops (SS) – As of June 29th
Jose Reyes NYM – .353-3-32-65-30. He’s having one of the best years in baseball history. Seriously. He’s hitting .353 (1st NL, 2nd MLB), with a 119 hits (1st MLB), 40 multi-hit games (1st MLB), 15 triples (1st MLB – has seven more than 2nd place), 30 [...]

There’s Andrus, Furcal and Ramirez. Not bad options. Desmond, Brignac and Bartlett. Like I said, if you miss out on the two studs, there’s no problem [...]
Who out there really saw 54 HR coming? I didn’t. I don’t even think Jose did. But, Mr. Bautista was the number one ranked third baseman in fantasy baseball in 2010. He led the majors in HRs and was second to Miguel Cabrera in RBI. Will he repeat in 2011? Probably not. He is, however, [...]
This is a position that turned out to be thin at the elite level and full of middle of the road types. The number in the parentheses is their pre-season, Fantasy 40/40, shortstop ranking; I only went up to 30. Note: The players listed qualified at SS before the season (20 games played last year) or [...]
Roy Oswalt was dealt. The Astros hurler will be packing his bags and taking them to the city of Brotherly Love. To PHI for JA Happ and other pieces. VIA ESPN, “sources said the Astros will receive outfielder Anthony Gose as part of the deal.” Ken Rosenthal adds, “that the third player in the deal [...]
