Fantasy Baseball – Coors Field And The Colorado Rockies

Via Rant Sports  |  February 11, 2012
When drafting in a fantasy league it’s always important to look at park factors. Jesus Montero would have been a fantastic option had he qualified at catcher when he was with the New York Yankees. But the trade to the Seattle Mariners killed his value, as Safeco is one of the toughest parks for power hitting right handed batters. His opposite field power should help him out...

Can They Fail? A Look At Trout, Harper, And Moore

Via hardballchat.com  |  February 12, 2012
Spring Training is one of the best times of the year. It seems like every player is “in the best shape of his life,” ahead of schedule in his rehab, or wowing the coaching staff. Every year teams have incredibly talented prospects in camp, and every year teams drive their fans crazy when they send their prospects back to the minors. Since I’ve started following...
