Tue, 09 Mar 2010 14:43:00 -0800 Who Will Close for the Twins This Year? http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/index.php/who-will-close-for-the-twins-this-year/ The news came down the pipe this morning that Joe Nathan has a torn Ulnar Collateral Ligament and is, in all likelihood, headed for Tommy John surgery. No pitchers in recent memory have rehabbed through a torn UCL. A moment of silence for Nathan’s 2010 season, and for all of the keeper league owners that [...] Tue, 09 Mar 2010 08:15:39 -0800 Blalock to Tampa Bay http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/index.php/blalock-to-tampa-bay/ Tampa Bay Rays signed DH/1B Hank Blalock to a minor league contract. Blalock, 29, will earn $925,000, with $350,000 in performance incentives. According to Bill Chastain’s MLB.com article, the pact also includes an opt-out if the long-time Ranger fails to crack Tampa Bay’s big league roster. Over the past three seasons, Blalock’s bat has been six [...] Tue, 09 Mar 2010 04:59:59 -0800 Draft Order: The Third Basemen http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/index.php/draft-order-the-third-basemen/ As you can probably gather from our first book offering, the 582-page FanGraphs Second Opinion fantasy companion (now available for less than $8), we’re pretty serious about fantasy baseball around here. As such, this post launches our official RotoGraphs fantasy draft order rankings as you prepare for your upcoming drafts. We’ll be rolling out Top [...] Tue, 09 Mar 2010 04:00:45 -0800 The DL on the DL: March 9th http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/index.php/the-dl-on-the-dl-march-9th/ - Alex Gordon broke his thumb, and will miss the next 3-4 weeks. The once highly touted prospect has struggled in the bigs, coming in at -3.3 batting runs for his career. He was likely to put up a solid 2010 campaign, but his injury could hurt his playing time. If the newly acquired Josh [...] Tue, 09 Mar 2010 04:00:08 -0800 What to Make of Madison Bumgarner http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/index.php/what-to-make-of-madison-bumgarner/ This spring, Madison Bumgarner will compete with the likes of Todd Wellemeyer, Kevin Pucetas and Joe Martinez for the right to open the 2010 season in San Francisco’s starting rotation. Truth be told, it wouldn’t be much of a contest if ability were the sole consideration. But because workload and service time concerns also play [...] Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:15:00 -0800 Mock Draft: AL-Only http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/index.php/mock-draft-al-only/ In addition to auctions, readers are also looking for more single league stories here on RotoGraphs. With that in mind I participated in a 12-team AL-only mock auction on CBS Sports. I had the third pick and ended up with the following team: Miguel Cabrera Justin Verlander Jon Lester Jason Bartlett Nelson Cruz Matt Wieters Mike Gonzalez Howie Kendrick Adrian Beltre Nick Swisher A.J.

And, as is our wont when it comes to position battles, we’ll have to consider defense – even if it doesn’t show up in [...] Sun, 07 Mar 2010 09:02:04 -0800 The Fallen Prospect Starting Rotation http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/index.php/the-fallen-prospect-starting-rotation/ A few days ago, I highlighted some former top position prospects who once graced magazine covers and had fantasy players’ hearts aflutter, but have since fallen out of favor. Today, let’s do the same with starting pitchers. Here’s the Fallen Prospect Starting Rotation. Clay Buchholz, Boston Red Sox CHONE: 151 IP, 7.33 K/9, 3.52 BB/9, 1.07 [...] Sun, 07 Mar 2010 08:16:14 -0800 Brad Bergesen: Servicable or Bust? http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/index.php/rhp-brad-bergesen-servicable-or-bust/ Brad Bergesen’s player profile here at FanGraphs has been playing mind games with me for a few days. Simply put, it’s tough to get a good handle on what to expect from this guy. I really do enjoy writing with conviction and drawing strong conclusions based on the data that is available here and at [...] Fri, 05 Mar 2010 22:34:58 -0800 The Fallen Prospect Lineup http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/index.php/the-fallen-prospect-lineup/ By the time a top prospect graces a major league field, avid fans can recite just about any detail regarding that player.

With fantasy players going to CIA-like lengths to [...] Fri, 05 Mar 2010 09:24:37 -0800
