2008 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers: Mike Jacobs

I am digging the idea of Marlins first baseman Mike Jacobs as a solid sleeper this year. I have the 27 year-old hitting .268-21-73-63-2 in 486 ABs, just a $0.30 value. It's not hard to see Jacobs in the $6-8...   Continue Reading

Hanley's Stock Falls Slightly

This may not matter this year. But new Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez wants to see Hanley Ramirez exchange steals for homers in the long term. Regarding whether Ramirez would steal 50 again, Gonzalez said, "We'll see." I have Ramirez swiping...   Continue Reading



Is This The Year For Alex Gordon?

I've ranked Alex Gordon 13th among third basemen, with a .267-18-71-71-16 projection in 522 ABs. It'd be worth $6. Gordon's being drafted in the 12th round, 11th among 3Bs. I don't have a big problem with this (though Kevin Kouzmanoff...   Continue Reading



Spot-Starting Against The Giants

It seems a major fantasy strategy this year in mixed leagues will be starting mediocre pitchers against the Giants. Their offense looks to be flat-out terrible this year. Last year's whipping boys, the Nationals, look improved. The first opportunity may...   Continue Reading
