2013 Fantasy Baseball, Total Run Series: Shortstops
There can be no more glamour position than shortstop. Players that grow up playing outside the United State usually start off playing shortstop. In Little League, the best athletes are normally shortstops or pitchers (or both). Scouting Directors looking for infielders usually start by scouting and drafting shortstops. The rationale is that if you can handle shortstop you can probably...
Seattle Mariners Option Catcher Jesus Montero To Tacoma
The Seattle Mariners have optioned catcher Jesus Montero to their Triple-A Tacoma minor league affiliate. Montero, who was expected to play a solid role with the club this season, has struggled to a .208 batting average over 29 games.

Daily FanDuel Picks: May 24, 2013
A second straight 41.25-point effort landed me in the money once again. My “Kevin Gausman is so cheap that I can afford elite bats and just pray he doesn’t implode” strategy worked. Gausman scored just six points, but four of my batters tallied over five points and the juicy Salvador Perez-Joe Blanton matchup even netted me 3.75 with his barrage of singles — as expected.Today...
New England Patriots Select, Duron Harmon, DB, Rutgers
3.29 New England Patriots Duron Harmon DB, Rutgers
With the 29th pick of the 3rd round the New England Patriots took Duron Harmon, defensive back out of Rutgers. Harmon possesses good coverage skills and is someone who’s not afraid to come up and support the run. Some considered this pick to be a bit of a reach by the Patriots, but Bill Belichick got his guy. Harmon should compete...
Washington Redskins Select Jordan Reed, TE, Florida
3.23 Washington Redskins Jordan Reed TE, Florida
With the 23rd pick of the 3rd round the Washington Redskins took Jordan Reed, tight end out of Florida. Reed gives the Redskins the athletic tight end that will create mismatches in the passing game. Don’t see him making much of an impact early on because he needs to improve his blocking before he will consistently see the field...
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Select Mike Glennon, QB, NC State
3.11 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Mike Glennon QB, NC State
With the 11th pick of the third round the Buccaneers took Mike Glennon, quarterback out of NC State. Glennon is a strong armed QB whose strength will be getting the ball down field. This pick created buzz as soon as it was announced and has only gained steam with Bucs second year coach Greg Schiano stating that Glennon will get...
Philadelphia Eagles Select Bennie Logan, DL, LSU
3.05 Philadelphia Eagles Bennie Logan, DL, LSU
With the 5th pick of the 3rd round the Eagles took Bennie Logan, defensive lineman out of LSU. Standing at 6-2 and weighing in at 302lbs Logan gives the Eagles a versatile defensive lineman who will be able to line up in multiple alignments in their new 3 man front. I don’t think he starts in year one but he will provide the Eagles...

Sean Lee: Can the Dallas Cowboys Linebacker Be the Next Brian Urlacher?
As of this morning, Brian Urlacher is no longer an active NFL player. He took to Twitter to announce his retirement, and with it, the game lost one of the all-time great MLB’s. Urlacher’s tenacity was nothing if not palpable. The look on his face that was captured pre-snap by ESPN’s zip line cameras was often downright scary, regardless of how much distance was between you...
