Every two weeks throughout the baseball season, The Closer Report will provide the Closer Report Power Rankings. These power rankings are not based on a closer’s legacy, name or team. It’s based on a formula that considers the pitcher’s historical stats, current stats, reliability, injury and, more importantly, what the closer is doing recently. Brought [...]

Alex Rios was supposed to be one of the elite outfielders in the game. He has shown the power/speed combination that fantasy owners lust for. However, we have yet to see the full potential that he possesses in 2011. Should we give up hope? Should we try to buy low?

One of the major problems is his luck [...]

Here’s a breakdown of the two-start pitchers for the seventh week of the baseball season.

Five Stars

Felix Hernandez: vs. MIN, @SD

On Thursday, the Kansas City Royals called up top prospect Eric Hosmer from AAA to replace struggling first baseman Kila Ka’aihue. In most cases for standard leagues, it’s best to see how a rookie will react to his first real big league exposure.  However, this is not the case with Hosmer. In a recent tweet, [...]

The air is full of the smells of the Spring. Scents of cut grass and pollinating pollinating trees hang and mix with the oxygen. Major League Baseball’s Opening Day is upon us.

Opening day of Baseball season brings me a sense of renewal. After a cold hard winter, it is the gateway to warm[...]

Think back to last year’s draft day. If you were like most fantasy leaguers, you came out of your draft with a pretty decent team. You were probably satisfied that you had assembled a good group of players. You looked forward to managing your team to a championship.

If you won your league last year, [...]

Every season we seem to talk about Nick Markakis and his breakout potential—and every season we are sorely disappointed with the results.

While he has always been solid, though unspectacular, the 2010 season was by far his worst:
629 at-bats [...]

I was reading the Boston Globe on Wednesday and saw the Nick Cafardo mention that the Boston Red Sox don’t expect to trade OF Mike Cameron this spring. My question is; Why would they?

Unless the Red Sox get completely blown away by an offer, there is no reason to trade Cameron. As a matter of fact,[...]
