Another week, another update
You know the rules, another week of fantasy baseball means another week of fantasy injury updates. Read below to get a quick glance at who’s coming and going for week 16 of the fantasy regular season.
OF, Jose Bautista/Toronto Blue Jays: Jose Bautista has missed the last several games with a twisted right ankle. He hasn’t been placed on the DL yet, as the injury is not believed to be that serious. The Blue Jays believe that Bautista may have a good shot at returning for their next game on Tuesday the 19th at home against Seattle. For those in weekly leagues, I deem it safe to roll him this week. (more…)

Joey Votto leads a pack of NL Central bats.
With the All-Star game behind us, these National League stars now just have to fight out who will be that team that gets home field advantage in the World Series. With no less than 8 contenders for 4 playoff spots, the race towards the finish could be one of the more interesting ones in recent history. Who will win the NL Central, and who will be the heroes? Fans will have to wait and see to find out. These are the National League Power Rankings as of July 17th.
1) Joey Votto – CIN (Previously: 5)
While many of the top National All-Star selections are struggling, Votto has excelled going into and out of the All-Star break. With 18 hits in July, good for an average of .367, Votto has helped put his Cincinnati Reds in the NL Central race. (more…)

Another week, another update
Another week, another set of injury updates. Take a look at some of the big names that are coming or going, on the DL that is.
Carlos Gonzalez, OF/Colorado Rockies: An X-ray revealed a deep bone bruise for Carlos Gonzalez. He returned to the lineup this past Friday as a defensive replacement, but still missed 4 games prior to that. Hopefully after the All-Star break he’ll be recovered and ready to go, but bone bruises can be tricky and take a long time to heal. Daily leaguers wait for updates, and weekly leaguers will want to tread carefully and proceed with caution. After his return, I wouldn’t start him until he’s got a week under his belt and at least shows he can still play with that wrist. (more…)

Brian McCann has been stellar this season.
The All-Star game is upon us, and while in actuality, the season is more than halfway through, the midsummer classic has always marked the halfway point of the season. So what better time is there to reflect on who has dominated in each league. Speculation on who will win the most coveted awards in baseball, such as the MVP, Cy Young, and Rookie of the Year, will continue throughout the season. But here at the halfway point, we can see how each player is producing. These are the projected major award winners for the National and American League.
NL MVP: Brian McCann – ATL
I know that this is a bit of a dark horse, but I have long believed that the MVP should come from a winning club. (more…)

What's with all the inconsistency out here?
One of the biggest things I’ve noticed in this wonderful game of fantasy baseball is that nothing is ever guaranteed. Don’t get me wrong, nothing is ever guaranteed in any sport, but for some reason I just feel like in fantasy baseball, and even real-life baseball for that matter, nothing is ever, ever predictable. For the 6 years that I’ve been playing fantasy baseball, the overall league stats by the half-way point in the season just never seem to play out the way that you would think they should.
For example, in my 16-team league, I’m currently matched up against the 15th place team and here I am losing to him going into Friday ball. Yet looking at the overall team stats for the season, I’ve got him beat in almost every category by large margins. I am the 2nd ranked team in that league, so theoretically, I should be crushing this guy, but I am not. They say that the stats never lie, well in baseball they do! (more…)
