Eric Hosmer
Anthony Rizzo Had A Bad 2013
Entering the 2013 season, the Cubs’ Anthony Rizzo was perhaps the most hyped first baseman in all of (fantasy) baseball. Don’t believe me? Click here, here, or here. I, too, was guilty of piling on the hype after he posted a .285/.342/.463 slash line with 15 home runs in 368
A Dynasty League Season in Review: Trading
I’ve written about some of my current fantasy leagues/teams in this space before, though I’ve yet to discuss the league I’m about to. For a primer on that, check out what I wrote for Fake Teams a while back, because this will be very much the same exercise. Here are
Ben’s 11 Bold Predictions: Blind Squirrel Gets Nut Edition
Let’s skip the formalities/well constructed introductions. In my last post, I covered four of my preseason predictions that stunk. In this post, I will cover the other seven that didn’t stink. In this way, I’m able to abide by two Internet Baseball Writing rules at once: I’ve revisited a preseason

While the move was strange, it was not unwarranted; the Royals’ young hitters were struggling mightily, with Eric
Eric Hosmer Wasn’t Built in a Day (or a Year)
There has been plenty written in all corners of the interwebs about Eric Hosmer and his struggles between 2012 and 2013. And while some of it has just been hyperbolic and unnecessary, some of it has been really interesting. Case in point, Sam Miller wrote one of the most interesting
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
Ben’s Eleven Bold Predictions
As a prospect writer, I’m wrong on the World Wide Web all the time. “Casey Kelly makes a smart late-round pick this year,” I will write one week before we lose him to injury. “Adam Eaton can grab you 30 cheap steals,” I opine before his elbow acts up. “Devin
Drafting a Dynasty League Roster: Major League Draft, Rounds 1-3
For those of you who’ve been around these parts for a while, you may remember the initial dynasty league I agreed to participate in at the beginning of the off-season for the purposes of writing up a full draft (and the thought process that went into it) on this site.
