And the fantasy baseball drafts just keep on coming... Kay Adams and I hosted the Livin' the Fantasy Draft for SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio (Sirius 210, XM87). The league consisted of myself, Kay, Kyle Elfrink, two producers (Drew Phelps and Phil Backert), and six listeners (one was unable to make it). That means we had [...] | I just keep doing fantasy baseball drafts don't I? Seems like every time I wake up I get my bowl of cereal, my Red Bull (sometimes there is vodka in it), answer a plethora of tweets and emails, and then I end up being in a draft of some kind. Which draft am I talking [...] | For the fifth straight year I was invited to play in an expert's league by the folks over at KFFL.com (you can click on the link to see how everyone else in the draft evaluated their own selections). Nicknamed K-BAD, for Baseball Analysis Draft, the league pits 11 of the top minds in the game [...] | 4 Months Arizona Diamondbacks Diamondbacks signed 3B Martin Prado to a four-year, $40 million contract extension. The four-year deal covers Prado's final season of arbitration eligibility and his first three seasons of free agency. Prado was dealt from the Braves to the Snakes last week in the seven-player Justin Upton trade. He batted .301/.359/.438 with 10 home runs, 70 RBI and 17 stolen bases in 156 games last summer for Atlanta, and should get a slight boost in fantasy value in Arizona. | 4 Months Arizona Diamondbacks Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports that the Diamondbacks are "quite optimistic" about soon agreeing to a three- or four-year extension with Martin Prado. Prado is currently due to become a free agent following the 2013 season, but the Diamondbacks picked him up from the Braves on Thursday with the idea of keeping him for the long-term. The 29-year-old batted .301/.359/.438 with 10 homers, 70 RBI and 17 steals in 156 games last season for the Braves and is slated to be Arizona's starting third baseman moving forward. | 4 Months Arizona Diamondbacks The Diamondbacks are "confident" they can work out a long-term extension with newly-acquired third baseman Martin Prado, according to CBS Sports' Danny Knobler. The two sides have already had discussions about a new deal. Prado, who turned 29 years old in October, is currently scheduled to become a free agent after the 2013 season. He hit .301/.359/.438 with 10 homers, 70 RBI and 17 steals in 156 games last summer for the Braves and was moved Thursday in the seven-player Justin Upton trade. Prado is likely to be expensive. | 4 Months Arizona Diamondbacks Diamondbacks acquired 3B Martin Prado from the Braves in the seven-player Justin Upton trade. Prado is scheduled to become a free agent after the 2013 season but the Snakes have already begun negotiations toward a long-term contract extension. The dynamic 29-year-old hit .301/.359/.438 with 10 home runs, 70 RBI and 17 stolen bases in 156 games last season for the Braves. He's a .319/.370/.447 career hitter at Arizona's Chase Field and should carry a ton of fantasy value this summer. | |
