Gregg Named Closer

The Blue Jays named Kevin Gregg as their new closer. I think this is a nice move for the Blue Jays.

Too Early to Call The Reds a Contender?

The Reds have gotten off to a pretty decent start. The question that’s on everyone’s minds is probably, are they for real? I’m going to try and answer it with a simple word. Yes. I don’t think the Reds are going to go away because they’re only going to get better as the season goes [...]

Sleepy Hollow Stars

Tony Andracki Bringingheat.com Lead Journalist Welcome to the first edition of ‘Sleepy Hollow Stars,’ a segment where I discuss sleepers that are not getting the attention they deserve, thus fantasy lineups around the country are hollow without them. OK, so it’s not the most relevant title, but I like it, so I’m sticking with it. [...]

Fantasy strategy: Mind the splits

Why more members of fantasy leagues don’t do this is beyond me. It seems startlingly simple, but only a handful of my friends actually utilize it. Simply look at “splits”, or how well a positional player does against righty and lefty pitching. Knowing how your money-maker guys do against both righties and lefties can make [...]

Wood to Start at Third Base

Brandon Wood is getting the starting third base position. He will be replacing Chone Figgins, which will not be easy. I think this move is a downgrade and could cost the Angels the division.

Jake Peavy has been a fantasy stud. A pitcher you can almost always rely on to carry your pitching staff to a league title. However, most leagues are seeing Peavy fall to the middle rounds, or even later rounds depending on the league’s depth. Supposedly, everyone is afraid that Jake Peavy can’t possibly put up [...]

Division Realignment

Anyone who has followed baseball at all in the past decade probably knows about the growing disparity between the finances of the richest teams and the of the poorest teams. This problem is easily seen in the American League East, where you have the Red Sox and Yankees who have huge budgets, and the Rays, [...]

Joe Mauer, Minnesota Twins ink blockbuster deal

Let all the rumors cease. Let all the skeptics be silenced. And let all front offices sigh with disappointment. Joe Mauer is staying in Minnesota—for a long time. In a massive eight-year, $184 million deal, the 27-year old catcher is slotted to spend presumably the rest of his playing career in the Twin Cities—the deal [...]

Washington adds his name to Mt. Rushmore of sports screw-ups

Rangers manager Ron Washington has tested positive for cocaine. Everybody who was somewhat sober on St. Patty’s Day remembers the day-long coverage of it. Yeah, OK, there have been countless other screw-ups in sports lately. Tiger Woods is the obvious headliner. Mark McGwire, Alex Rodriguez, the list goes on and on. But who would have [...]

Josh Hamilton- Hang in There

Ugh! I’m sure voices echoed through Texas today when found out Hamilton was drilled on the hand by a fastball in a spring training game. Seriously- this superstar is so unlucky lately in terms of injuries. Let’s tone down the thoughts of “he did drugs and is still alive, that’s lucky enough” okay? We all [...]
