Another week, another update
Another week of baseball, another week of injury updates. Take a look at some big names that may or may not be able to help your fantasy cause for this week.
1B, Paul Konerko/Chicago White Sox: After being hit by a pitch on his left calf during Sunday’s game, Paul Konerko was removed from the lineup and given the rest of the day off. After X-rays were taken, only a bruise was revealed. Consider the injury minor and expect to see Pauli back in the White Sox lineup on Monday, at home, against the New York Yankees; a series in which Ozzie Guillen will most assuredly want Konerko to be a part of.

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…)

Elmo playin' along with the Joke of Derek Jeter making this years' All-Star team!
Ok, first of all, Elmo is on this photo because Derek Jeter making this year’s All-Star team is a joke. Somebody please answer this question for me. At 37 years of age, coming fresh off the DL this past Monday with a bum right calf muscle, hitting .256 with only 2 home runs and 20 RBI, how the heck did Derek Jeter get voted into the 2011 All-Star game? What kind of All-Star game is this where the more deserving players who are having real All-Star seasons keep on getting snubbed out of making the team? I always thought the All-Star game was for those players who are having All-Star type seasons. What’s going on out here?

Another one bites the dust!
OF, Torii Hunter/L.A. Angels: On Friday, July 1st, during the first inning of the game, Torii Hunter was hit by a pitch on his left hand from Hiroki Kuroda and was removed from the game after playing two innings after the incident. X-rays came back negative, but he was still held out of the lineup for both Saturday and Sunday and is listed as day-to-day. The injury is being called a bruised left hand. Manager Mike Scioscia did however say that Hunter would be available for defense and pinch-running, so it doesn’t sound like the injury is too serious. For managers in weekly lineup leagues, if you have another solid option on the bench, I would use it until he proves he can still hit with that wrist. Daily leagues, keep him sidelined until further notice. (more…)

Is he calling it? The triple crown?
This year in the 2011 fantasy baseball season, it has been really tough to pick out more than just one plausible triple crown candidate. In the Fantasy baseball world, a triple crown player is of the utmost value to a manager trying to make a push for the fantasy baseball title. A player that leads the league in average, RBI and home runs, is a player that can lead your team to the playoffs and finals by himself, or at least play a huge role in doing so! In this list of triple crown threat(s), honorable mentions after Jose Bautista and Jay Bruce will be of no shortage. (more…)
