Los Angeles Dodgers Activate Chris Capuano, Option Alex Castellanos
The Los Angeles Dodgers have activated left-handed starter Chris Capuano from the 15-day disabled list Wednesday after recovering from a left lat strain which kept him shelved for almost three full weeks.
To make room for him on the active roster, the Dodgers have optioned outfielder Alex Castellanos to their Triple-A Albuquerque minor league affiliate.
Capuano, who has tossed 33...
Detroit Tigers Send Avisail Garcia To Toledo
In what is becoming a yo-yo type of ride for Avisail Garcia, the young outfielder was sent back to the Toledo Mud Hens by the Detroit Tigers Wednesday to make room for the organization to recall a pitcher to help fill the void left by Annibal Sanchez being on the disabled list.
Garcia, who is only 22, is highly regarded and most likely will find his shot again in the majors during...
Atlanta Braves Sign Draft Pick RHP Jason Hursh
The Atlanta Braves have signed their first round draft choice, right handed pitcher Jason Hursh which includes a $1.7 million signing bonus.
The 21-year-old is a sinker ball pitcher who played for Oklahoma State.
The Braves were awarded the pick due to losing outfielder Michael Bourn in free agency this past winter.
The post Atlanta Braves Sign Draft Pick RHP Jason Hursh appeared...
2013 Fantasy Baseball, The Rubber – Week 12: Struggling From the Stretch?
I have a type when it comes to both the women and the starting pitchers that I tend to love.
With women, I like blondes that are shorter than me and who are…..how do I say this……chesty. And I also have a soft spot for redheads and Hispanic girls. Nothing wrong with that, right? But the problem is that, for a very long time, looks weren’t the only common characteristic of...
Fantasy Baseball Injury Replacements: Nate Schierholtz

The 2013 season is not even half over, but I can pretty much guarantee that I’ll be remembering this year as the year of the injury. I don’t even want to list all of the stars who have been on the shelf, because I know I’ll miss some guys. But all you need to know is this: Last week, I wrote about Carlos Quentin as an outfielder to fill a void...
Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire: Jordan Lyles

The Houston Astros arguably present the best sleeper value of any team in baseball. Dixon started the week by including Bud Norris in his Dixon’s Picks.
Last week we focused on Astros third baseman Matt Dominguez as a waiver wire pickup. On Tuesday against Milwaukee he hit a grand slam and had a career high five RBI’s for the game.
Again this...
The Profar Problem?: Jurickson Profar to the OF
The Texas Rangers have announced that Jurickson Profar will learn to play the outfield, apparently on the fly. Ron Washington says we might see Profar in the outfield in as few as ten days. Of course this is all a result of Ian Kinsler coming off the DL for Texas. It seems that the Rangers are interested in keeping Profar up and in the lineup. This is good news for Profar owners...
2013 Fantasy Baseball, The Daily Fix: June 20, 2013
Today, I’m playing in a Double Up! contest. They range anywhere from a dollar to ten dollars, but each works the same way. If you finish in the top half you get almost twice as much as you put in. Naturally, DraftKings gets their cut because they have to pay their employees, the light bill, and make a little for their trouble. That being said, they are very generous to those that...
Yield to Zack Greinke’s Warning Signs

Hoping he can be their number two behind Clayton Kershaw, The Los Angeles Dodgers’ handed Zack Greinke a monster contract that closed in on $150 million over six years. So far, 2013 hasn’t gone as planned for either party. Before the season, Greinke dealt with an elbow issue, but managed to seemingly dodge a bullet. He avoided the disabled list and was able...
Todd Frazier Is Stepping It Up
After a somewhat quietly impressive rookie season, Todd Frazier was enduring a bit of a sophomore slump until about a week ago. He started off the season off but plateaued at around six home runs despite hitting in one of the best ballparks in the league and hitting in one of the best lineups as well. It is unfortunate that Dusty Baker refuses to hit Frazier ahead of Joey Votto and...
10 Players Due For Regression
Some guys have started out 2013 like there is no tomorrow. Two pitchers have already won 10 games this year while some unheralded players have burst onto the scene. The baseball season is usually one known for having peaks and valleys, and even though I love seeing some unknown guys tear it up, I can’t help but think it’s not going to last forever. I’m not going to call the...
Zack Wheeler and Wil Myers: Buy Now?
Tuesday marks the big league debut of two of baseball’s most exciting prospects: Zack Wheeler and Wil Myers.
Both Wheeler and Myers were high first-round talents drafted in 2009, Myers slipped to the third round due to perceived bonus demands. Despite, or perhaps because of, their elite amateur statuses both Wheeler and Myers were traded for established major league All-Stars before...
Cusp Dwellers: Houston Astros in the PCL

We have all read enough about George Springer to satiate our “who’s the next Mike Trout?” fix for the time being. And while Springer might indeed get thrown to the wolves in short order, the two Astros farmhands acquired in the Hunter Pence trade with Philadelphia back in 2011 deserve immediate attention as well: right-handed pitcher Jarred Cosart...
Make a Move - ESPN Fantasy Baseball
Yesterday we looked at the top Fantasy Baseball players available in the majority of Yahoo leagues and ended up with a list of 80 players with at least 200 points. Today we are looking at ESPN free agents and the list has shrunk to just 51 players, which was expected, even with the extra day for players to reach our point goal. table.tableizer-table { border: 1px solid #CCC...
Not Silky Smooth – Brian Dozier

Brian Dozier should not be on your fantasy baseball team. But if you are stuck in an AL Only league with 12 teams, you might just have him on your bench as an emergency option. If you find yourself in that position, this might just help you squeeze some value out of him.
Before the 2012 season began not many fans (even among the most tuned in...
Fantasy Stock Watch: Anthony Rendon, Jose Altuve
Hourick The fantasy stock report is a weekly article that will provide insight on particular hitters or pitchers whose stock is either rising or falling based on recent performances. This week we will take a look at two 2nd baseman Anthony Rendon and Jose Altuve. Bullish: Anthony RendonAnthony Rendon can handle a bat. The problem with Anthony is his ability to stay healthy...
Get To Know Him - Jeff Locke
The Pittsburgh Pirates have not had a winning season since 1992 but things are starting to look much brighter in Pittsburgh. Last year the Pirates flirted with a winning record, but had a rough September and finished 79-83. So far in 2013, the Pirates are 42-29 and seem like legitimate contenders in the NL Central division. Aside from the talented young hitters like Andrew McCutchen...
2013 Fantasy Baseball, The Daily Fix: June 19, 2013
Yesterday was Wil Myers/Zack Wheeler day. At least the hurler held up his end of the bargain as he got off his big league career to a nice start. Prospects are always exciting at all levels of fantasy baseball, but particularly on the daily side of the coin. They always start off at rock bottom prices, but as we have seen with Yusiel Puig, that doesn’t last long.
Today, I’m playing...
