SPOTS TO BOOKMARK

Who is in the lineup each day? Our Lineups page answers that question for you. More than just telling you who is in or out of the lineup, the page has other valuable tidbits to offer such as the weather that day (temp, wind and chance of rain), batter versus pitcher stats and the cost of the players at three major DFS sites (Fanduel, Draftkings and Fantasy Aces).

There’s a continually updated Closer Grid run by Howard Bender. Who is next in line that you should be thinking about adding in that tumultuous 9th inning if you’re looking for a boost?

Want to see my face and maybe even that of Jeff Mans? If you do then you can click on this link to our Video page. We sometimes say some smart things. Sometimes.

There’s a depth chart page so you can see how each team, in each division, is planning on divvying out playing time.

Don’t forget to check out our Player News page either. An injury happens and we report on it as fast as anyone in the industry. A guy has a great effort, we’re on it with an update. A player is called up, we report it. You know the deal.

RAY FLOWERS ARTICLES

Folks are excited by the hot start of Aledmys Diaz. They shouldn’t be.

Brandon Finnegan ain’t big but he was drafted to be a star. In the early going he’s striking everyone out. Is it time to give him serious fantasy consideration?

People are seriously dropping Randal Grichuk. I don’t get it.

Jeremy Hazelbaker continues to hit, but please.

Derek Holland, the lefty of the Rangers, is off to a hot start. Can he keep it up and return to the level of importance in the fantasy Game? Check out his Player Profile.

What are the Phillies doing with the bullpen?

I don’t trust Giancarlo Stanton and wouldn’t have taken him in the first two rounds of a draft this season. I explain why in this piece.

Three big time rookie outfielders were recently promoted to the big leagues: Nomar Mazara, Max Kepler and Mallex Smith. In this Daily Trends piece I give a scouting report on each of the youngsters.

Nick Tropeano has a good arm, and has performed well. However, the Angels are about to get a handful of starting pitching options back which might mean doom for his prospects of staying in the rotation.

Vincent Velazquez struck out 16 Padres Thursday. That effort elicited an immediate, on the spot, Player Profile from me.
