After being punished all season by critics and National League hitters alike, Philadelphia Phillies SP Cole Hamels is finally starting to show signs of life for 2013 fantasy baseball fans. Hamels may have an extremely unflattering 2-9 record, but his last two outings have both been quality starts. On Tuesday against the Minnesota Twins, Hamels [...]
Many fantasy baseball owners tend to completely ignore the DH position. Most designated hitters are only eligible as a flex-play in standard leagues, so naturally people tend to avoid the handicap of owning a one-dimensional player.

When the Miami Marlins called up OF Marcell Ozuna earlier this season not many fantasy baseball fans thought much of it.

After a big start to the season for Pittsburgh Pirates OF Starling Marte, it’s been a struggle the past month.

The Arizona Diamondbacks, and pitching coach Charles Nagy, are quickly building a stellar farm system in the desert. SP Archie Bradley entered the season as the team’s number two-ranked prospect, behind just Tyler Skaggs, but the young righty has continued to climb fantasy baseball prospect lists this spring. Bradley had an unthinkable 1.26 ERA with a 2-0 record through five starts of [...]
After starting the season off 8-0, Tampa Bay Rays SP Matt Moore was on top of the world. He had a 2.29 ERA and was on pace to finish the season 35-0. He was quickly being talked about as a fantasy baseball ace. Moore’s last two outings, however, have been absolutely miserable. He lasted just [...]
