  • Kimbrel, Johnson Look Dominant
    April 29, 2012

    Here’s a look at the top five fantasy relief pitchers as we’re close to the end of the first month of the regular season.

    1.  Jim Johnson, Orioles:

    Part of Johnson’s success has been that the Orioles are playing much better than anticipated, but kudos for Johnson for converting the opportunities he’s been given.  Though Johnson isn’t much of a strikeout threat, he’s been perfect this season and he should be a high value guy if you were able to get him.  If you get the right price, though, Johnson is the kind of guy you might want to consider selling.

  • Peavy Surprise Top Pitcher in April
    April 28, 2012

    Here’s a look at the top five fantasy starting pitchers as we come close to the end of the first month.

    1.  Jake Peavy:

    Who saw this one coming?  Though Peavy obviously was a former stud, many assumed that his career was headed downhill, mainly because that’s what the stats have been saying for a while.  But Peavy has been unbelievable so far this year, with a 1.88 ERA and 3-0 record in his first four starts.  So far, Peavy looks like the steal of the draft.

  • Lincecum, Hernandez Still Elite
    March 23, 2012

    Here are the top starting pitching options following Roy Halladay, Justin Verlander, Cliff Lee, Jared Weaver and Clayton Kershaw.

    6.  Felix Hernandez, Seattle Mariners:

    Hernandez unfortunately pitches for the team that scored the least runs in the league in 2011, so you can’t expect a lot of wins for King Felix.  Having said that, he typically pitches very deep into the game, racks up strikeouts and wins just about every time the Mariners put up any runs.

  • Other Elite Outfield Fantasy Options
    March 21, 2012

    Here’s a look at the other outfielders who can help you produce following Ryan Braun, Jacoby Ellsbury, Matt Kemp, Jose Bautista and Curtis Granderson.

    6.  Andrew McCutchen, Pittsburgh Pirates:

    The downside for McCutchen is that he plays in Pittsburgh, but he also has free range to stay very aggressive on the base paths.  With 30-stolen base potential and some real pop in his bat, McCutchen is a fun player who looks to be on the rise.
