Fantasy Baseball: Two-Start Pitchers for Week 6

Source: Fake Teams by Alex Kantecki

I won't sugar coat it. Last week sucked. On Monday, Ted Lilly labored through three innings, giving up five runs (four earned), eight hits and two walks against the Rockies. And he might be hurt. I fell hard for Wade Davis that same night and he burned me big time. He gave up eight runs and 12 hits against the Indians. Never. Again. He could be headed for the pen. My best call was Jason Hammel against the Mariners, who picked up the win but was unimpressive in doing so. He gave up

Shuffle Up: The Tony Cingrani Problem

Source: Roto Arcade by Scott Pianowski

Alright, gamers, settle in and let's get to work. Of all the baseball shuffles, this is the one that really matters: the starting pitcher shuffle. The fickle men of the mound are sure to define our season, for good or for bad.

We're trying to gauge everyone's 5x5 value going forward - everything to this point is merely an audition. We're only playing for 2013 here, and we're assuming a mixed-league environment. Don't worry about what the prices mean in a vacuum - they're only tools to compare the players with one another. Players at the same price tag are considered even.

I'll add comments as the night goes along, and I reserve the right to make rank changes over that time frame. Your intelligent

Closing Time: Dodgers and Padres have a brawl, Zack Greinke pays the price

The Dodgers won the game. The Padres probably won the fight. And now fantasy owners are left to pick up the pieces.

The two So-Cal clubs were playing a nondescript 2-1 game in the bottom of the sixth Thursday night when everything exploded. Zack Greinke hit Carlos Quentin with a 3-2 pitch and Quentin took exception, charging the mound. Greinke busted his collarbone in in the ensuing melee and could miss 6-8 weeks. Quentin was ejected

Pressing Questions: The Los Angeles Dodgers

Source: Roto Arcade by Dalton Del Don

After Frank McCourt sold the Dodgers for a record setting $2 billion – by far the most ever for a sports franchise, and when it comes to MLB, the next highest was $845 million in 2009 for the Cubs – to a group led by Magic Johnson (and former baseball executive Stan Kasten and the Guggenheim Partners), Los Angeles became hyper aggressive, taking on payroll as if money wasn’t an object. It started in June, when the team signed Cuban prospect Yasiel Puig to a $42 million contract, which was $6 million more than was given to Yoenis Cespedes, who was almost unanimously regarded as the better player by most scouts. But that was just the beginning, as the Dodgers then traded for Hanley

2012 Fantasy Baseball Projections: Is Royals' Jeremy Guthrie Worth an Add?

Source: Bleacher Report MLB

After taking a no-hitter into the seventh inning Sunday against the White Sox—and extending his streak of no earned runs allowed to 22.2 innings—Jeremy Guthrie has reached “take notice” status within the baseball community.

The former Indian, Oriole and Rockie, who now has six starts under his belt with the Royals, is owned in just eight percent of Yahoo! leagues. Given his struggles in recent years, it’s easy to assume this mini streak is an aberration. But we’re not in the business of assuming, so let’s dig deep to develop an informed opinion.
