Fantasy baseball is a whirlwind of emotions. Today, we'll explore some of the up's and down's of the players you've been counting on. Jose Bautista has been placed on the 15 day DL with a left hip bone bruise. That is not good news. Well, it's not catastrophic or anything like that, but the early [...]

Sometimes unlikely sources of production pop up and help you to overcome the failures of players that you were counting on in the fantasy game. Today I'll touch on both ends of that spectrum. Dustin Ackley hit .226 last season, and he's batting .233 this year for the Mariners. Why? Good question. Not only has [...]

In the fantasy game, if a first baseman hit 16 homers and stole 15 bases, you'd be interested right? Well it turns out those are the numbers posted by the Giants' Brandon Belt during his two seasons in San Francisco. Due to the way he has been utilized by the team in those two seasons [...]

Now that the 2012 season is over, it's time to review how my predictions went for each position in fantasy baseball. To that end, I will review my top-10 at each position and give a brief rundown on how each of the ten performed. I'll also list which player was a "Hit" (someone who lived [...]

(1) Chase Headley now a top-5 3B? (2) Torii Hunter finds the fountain of youth? (3) Daniel Murphy finishing strong. (4) Jeff Keppinger finishing strong. (5) Pedro Alvarez reaches 30 homers. (6) Wilin Rosario having remarkable season. Will it continue in 2013? (7) Paul Goldschmidt and Billy Butler massive weapons facing Tim Lincecum and Justin [...]

Each week I'll be here answering questions that have been sent to me at the BaseballGuys' Twitter account. Eric Hosmer and Brandon Morrow too much for Adrian Gonzalez? 14 tm mixed keeper. -- @strofaninKC Hosmer is hitting .204 with a .617 OPS disappointing everyone who drafted him to be a starter at first base this [...]

Justin Fensterman and Trevor Ray are ready to find out who is the best host on the Fantasy Beat! They discuss the 16 team Mixed 5×5 Head to Head League they are both in and just drafted. Justin and Trevor compare their opening day rosters to see who will have an edge entering the season. [...]

Should you trust Paul Goldschmidt to produce well enough to be a mixed league starter? Should you trust Josh Johnson to stay healthy? Should you have faith that Jayson Werth will rebound from a down 2011? D'Backs GM Kevin Towers had this to say about Paul Goldschmidt the young, slugging first baseman who is generating [...]

In years past, first base was the land of offensive titans. To a certain extent that still is the case with names like Miguel Cabrera, Albert Pujols, Joey Votto, Prince Fielder, Adrian Gonzalez etc. However, once you get past the elite options at first base, let's say outside the top-10 or 12, there are a [...]

Oh, boy, Bill James has gone and done it again. His misguided love for all things Chris Davis has reemerged for Paul Goldschmidt.  He gives him the 2012 projections of 93/32/99/.266/9.  Wow.  Maybe after Goldschmidt's done curing cancer he can also invent a Facebook Dislike button so I can properly grade all of my so-called [...]
