Struggling Stars: Votto, Bruce, Hosmer, Kemp and Santana
This week I will take a look at some good hitters who were highly drafted in your league but are killing their owners. Putting one of your star hitters on the bench is a hard decision to make and it is too important to get it wrong. We don’t want
Ben’s 2014 All-Disappointment Team
It’s Monday morning, and the entire world is grumpy. I am part of the world, and so also grumpy. Rather than write a positive, insightful or analytical column, I’m going to vent. Many of my teams are somewhere between fourth and seventh place in my respective leagues, and this was
These Star Hitters are Struggling: Trade Them or Keep Them?
There are quite a few star hitters who have been downright bad so far in 2014. It can really hurt your team when a player you took early in the draft is rocking a .220 batting average six weeks into the season. What happens when your rock solid Top 20
#TDGX Recap – Team Karaman Lurches On Towards Draft’s End
In the 3rd installment of my series on the draft we meander into the waning rounds of the draft’s second half. We’re in our third week of drafting at this point, and as you can imagine we’re down to the longest of shots and fringiest of regular and semi-regular Major

We’ve finally made it. Over the next 31 days, the writers at TDG take you through our rankings position-by-position. As I mentioned in the primer, this year we’re doing things a little differently. Instead of having my personal rankings up on this site, like last year, these rankings for 2014
Predictions Post-Mortem: Craig’s 11 Bold Predictions

Do Not Fall In Love With Mike Zunino
Perhaps you drafted Jesus Montero as your starting catcher this season. Maybe you’re in a league that starts two catchers. Maybe you were drunk and thought Tyler Flowers would be good this year. Perhaps you put all your eggs in Ryan Doumit’s basket. There are plenty of reasons why Fantasy
A Podcast For Your Eyes 2.0: It’s the Daniel Nava of Wines
As I hinted at in yesterday’s post on the updated Top 500 Dynasty League Rankings, Ben, Craig and I sat down to “record” the latest PFYE on the subject at hand. So for your amusement, we talked over gchat for almost an hour and a half about what we’ve liked

There’s nothing like a week of high-profile starting pitcher injury concerns to make you re-think how you go after pitching in fantasy leagues. And no, I’m not talking about Chad Billingsley having Tommy John surgery, which was just about the most unsurprising news blurb I’ve seen in a long time.
