Since our last installment there have been a string of huge injuries. Marlins slugger and only legitimate bat Giancarlo Stanton suffered a Grade 2 hamstring strain and is expected to miss at least a month of action. Sure he started out the season slow but he was showing signs of breaking through. In his last six games he hit .296 with three homers and eight RBIs.

My rule of thumb has always been to give my fantasy baseball teams a month. No one drafts a perfect team, and thirty games is typically enough time to get a good handle on your strengths and weaknesses.

“My fantasy baseball players are horrible! OMG! LOL! What do I do!?! IDK! TTYL! ” That’s a tweet I might get from a reactionary fantasy baseball owner (who’s also an 11-year-old girl) but as much as we should all heed the advice to “Keep Calm and Carry On” as it relates to fantasy sports, people freak because they don’t want to dig themselves into a huge hole in the first couple weeks of the seaso

Can you believe it’s been a week already? Sure the sample size is small, but there is plenty to be taken from what we have seen. The biggest thing I have taken away this week is the fact that the Houston Astros know how to strike out...

Fantasy baseball is in full swing, but for this article, we're more interested in the misses. Those misses are strikeouts. These are the 20 best starting pitchers in fantasy baseball this season.

Fantasy baseball 2013 is in full swing. It's not too late to grab a couple players for a rainy day -- or if your team is already in shambles.

There are few certainties in fantasy baseball. One certainty every season is that there isn’t another position with more turnover than at closer.
