Case in point: In the past three seasons, the 10 pitchers who outperformed the FIP by the highest margins saw their ERA increase by two-thirds of a run on average in the following season. That includes the four pitchers out of that group of 30 who actually managed to lower their ERA. St[...]Keep on reading: Top Five Starting Pitchers Due for Regression: Fantasy Baseball Predictions

ACR is a Useful Tool for Evaluating Starting Pitchers in Fantasy Baseball Last season I introduced a new statistic I had been working on called Ace Composite Rating (ACR). When I created ACR, what I really wanted was a statistic that could be used to evaluate starting pitchers that was both accessible to average baseball fans and useful to fantasy owners. To put it another way, I wanted a number that people could look at and extract meaning from without needing to be well versed in all thi[...]Keep on reading: Using Ace Composite Rating (ACR) in Your 2015 MLB Fantasy Baseball Draft

This article references Garrett Richards, Jered Weaver, SP, Tyler Skaggs and more! When Garrett Richards tore his left patellar tendon in late-August on a fluky play covering first base, it was initially feared that the right-hander would miss at least the beginning of the 2015 season, if not more. After being able to run with his full body weight earlier this week for the first time since the knee surgery, it appears Richards might not miss any regular season time after all. In fact, he’s been cleared for his first bullpen session on Monday. "At first, I thought landi[...]Keep on reading: Richards Making Progress Towards Return

For two years Jeremy Hellickson defied logic to a certain extent. The ERA was great. The WHIP was impressive. Still, there was no real way to explain the outstanding work that he was tossing out there given a less than thrilling skill set. The house of cards fell apart in 2013 as Hellickson fell [...]

Fantasy baseball is more than talk about PED's, I swear it is even if no one believes it. So let's move past all that off the field junk, it's going to be the biggest story in sports soon as MLB seems likely to lay down the hammer on the Biogenesis players shortly, and talk [...]
