    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.

  • Prince Gives Tigers Stacked Lineup
    January 29, 2012

    After a dubious relationship with the Milwaukee Brewers, Prince Fielder is hoping that he’ll end up with a better one with his new team, the Detroit Tigers.  The All-Star first baseman was recently introduced by the Detroit Tigers, a team that already had a good lineup and now will get a boost with another big masher in the heart of the order.  Though moving Miguel Cabrera back to third base could be a challenge for Cabrera, who was a third baseman back when he was a lot slimmer, it’s hard not to get wide-eyed if you’re a Tigers fan and thinking about how strong the heart of the order will be from here on out.

    When the Tigers desperately needed someone to step up, both Miguel Cabrera and Doug Fister answered the call.  Fister went 7 1/3 strong innings, letting up just two earned runs and giving the Tigers a change.  And take charge the Tigers eventually did, as Victor Martinez hit a bit homer and Miguel Cabrera belted a big double early on to give the Tigers a lead, one they would never give up.  Cabrera would help put the game away too, as he crushed a homer in the seventh to all but end the Rangers’ hopes of pushing the series to 3-0.
