Taylor DeChant 
Posted in Yankees 3B Alex Rodriguez originally injured his right knee turning back to third base on a passed ball June 19th in a game in Chicago. An MRI last Friday revealed a slight tear in the meniscus of that right knee and on Sunday Dr. Lee Kaplan of THE University of Miami recommended that A-Rod go under the [...]

Albert Pujols OUT, Jack McKeon IN
Major League Baseball’s silver slugger the past three years has been ruled out for 4-6 weeks with a non displaced fracture in his left forearm after colliding with journeyman Wilson Betemit at first base. This is nothing but another loop in Albert’s roller coaster of a season as The Machine hit a dismal .245 through [...]
Joe Mauer: Perfect Timing
The DL spot on my rosters have been filled long enough. After bi-weekly cycling of Jonathan Lucroy and Miguel Montero, I can finally seek offensive security in the catcher position as Joe Mauer finally returns from his stint on the 60 day disabled list. For the Minnesota Twins, his return is equally timely as they head into [...]
Closing Down
After years of playing ESPN Fantasy Baseball, I have collaborated a series of “winning” strategies into one that has won five championships and trips to playoffs in all the others: FORGET CLOSERS. You may have heard it somewhere before, but it’s become evident to me that the majority of ESPN Fantasy users have not. When [...]
Tags: Opening Day Injuries
With Opening Day 2011 only three days away, and the final week of preseason fantasy drafts upon us, I figured it would be beneficial to my fellow players to update them on injuries heading into Opening Day.

Utley / Lidge OUT / Madson / Castillo IN (with a side of Valdez)
The Phillies injuries continue. The oft injured Lidge will be starting the year on the DL. This means the wacky and often emotionally unstable Ryan Madson is now the closer. Madson has the stuff just not that killer instinct. This is the year where we see if he can finally get is sh*t together. IF [...]
Peavy the Pud or Peavy the Stud?
Jake Peavy was fantasy gold. Now, he is a fantasy turd. He screwed a good buddy of mine last year. Alas, injuries are part of the game. Peavy may or may not have value. His injury was straight up wacked- a detached lat muscle?!?! SI’s author Eric Mack made a point about Peavy: If Peavy slips past the [...]
Maurice Jones-Drew – NEWSFLASH: Done in Fantasy Football
In case my flukesters need a reminder. Stay away from MJD! His knee is shot. I don’t care what Jacksonville says a player of his size can only take sooooo many beatings. His 2010 stats were average and not ”Pocket Hercules” like – 1342 yards rushing, 34 receptions for 317 yards, and only 5 TDS. Heck, [...]
I'm so thirsty.. Care to buy me a beer?
