A few things happened this weekend that I’d like to talk about, but none of them are really deserving of an entire post. Thus, I go to the lazy writer’s standby, the bullet point article.
With Ryan Langerhans getting dealt to Oakland on Sunday, Matt Diaz should be the Braves’ primary left fielder. [...]
Most of the time in these Keep An Eye On reports, I’ll be trying to fill you in on players who I think are great “buy low” candidates, like Gomes (be patient), German (getting a lot of PT now), and Salas (8+K/9 and .186BAA overshadowed by Reyes–give it time), or who have shown interesting statistical [...]
I’m gonna take the day off from blogging today so I can spend some time with the fiancee without the computer distracting me. I’ve been posting nonstop since I began the site, and while I’m always going to be extremely active, I don’t want to wear myself out. I’ll come back with another [...]
I thought I’d take a look this morning at another stat I like to keep an eye on early in the year, HR/F for pitchers. Similar to BABIP, HR/F is something pitchers have virtually no control over–a hurler’s HR/F should move toward 10-11% as the season goes on. Using that information, it’s pretty [...]
I got some great comments through email these last couple of days–not a huge amount of questions. If I get a good run of questions in the future, I’ll probably run one of these again. It’s up to you guys.
To the questions we go!
As an owner of both Carlos Zambrano and Alex Gordon, [...]
Since we’re approaching a full month into the season, I thought I’d take an early look around the minors to see how some of my favorite sleeper prospects are doing. These are all guys that weren’t very popular on this year’s prospect lists, but are each poised for breakout seasons.
Each player’s name is linked [...]
A couple of weeks ago, I discussed minor leaguers who are scheduled to hit the bigs this year, imploring you to save your waiver priority in keeper leagues for the new wave of young players. Of the group I mentioned, I declared Philip Hughes “the unquestioned waiver-bait champ” in Yahoo leagues, as he was [...]
I’ve been getting a lot of fantasy questions in the comments and through email, so I thought I’d try to do a mailbag post sometime in the next couple of days. I just need you all to do your part by sending me your questions at wtp.sean-at-gmail.com so I have some content to work [...]
He starts tonight vs. the Reds. As I pointed out yesterday, Wells’ improved K-Rate, combined with his typically solid GB%, has him pitching very well. He has the talent, and was somebody I really liked when he was with the White Sox back in the day. It wouldn’t be the first time [...]
Angel Guzman is scheduled to start the May 1st game against the Pirates. A good outing will likely earn him a spot in the rotation even when Wade Miller comes back off the DL. If that happens, Guzman will immediately become one of the better strikeout pitchers in the bigs, as he averaged over a K [...]
