Thu, 11 Mar 2010 15:21:00 -0800 http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_main.aspx?sport=MLB&id=663 Sergio Santos pitched a scoreless inning Thursday and has yet to allow a run in 2 2/3 innings this spring.

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 15:15:00 -0800 http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/index.php/pittsburghs-other-mccutchen/ Earlier today, R.J. Anderson took a gander at Kevin Hart, a fifth starter candidate for the Pirates picked up from the Cubs last summer. Hart’s main competition for that fifth spot is Pittsburgh’s far less famous McCutchen, Daniel McCutchen. The 27 year-old heard his name called in four separate drafts before he finally signed on the [...] Thu, 11 Mar 2010 15:14:58 -0800 http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_main.aspx?sport=MLB&id=4817 Chris Davis went 4-for-5 with a homer off Aaron Cook as the Rangers battered the Rockies 16-5 on Thursday. Thu, 11 Mar 2010 15:13:00 -0800 http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/index.php/strange-leagues-war-and-wrc/ Every once and awhile I will be reading through comments on articles and in the forums, and I’ve noticed an interest in leagues involving WAR, wOBA, etc. I’m not surprised, since this is a statistical site that uses those numbers every day. However, not enough is being said about these “strange” leagues, so I think [...] Thu, 11 Mar 2010 04:00:15 -0800 http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/index.php/rotographs-job-openings-fantasy-writers/ RotoGraphs is now accepting applications for fantasy baseball writers. These are paid, part-time positions that require a commitment of five posts per week. We are specifically looking for writers with knowledge of multiple fantasy formats, who are comfortable with writing strategy-based articles. Writers may be asked to tackle specific topics as assigned, but a big [...] Tue, 09 Mar 2010 21:39:19 -0800 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 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 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 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 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 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. [...] Mon, 08 Mar 2010 07:25:17 -0800 http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/index.php/royal-middle-infield-continued/ When we took a look at the Royal shortstop situation on Thursday, it became obvious that the picture would not be complete without looking at the rest of the middle infield. 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
