There are some bargains here. Chuck James and Brian McCann are set to make $327,000 and $333,000, respectively, but then there are Mike Hampton and Bob Wickman. Those two will combine for over 20% of the team's $80 million salary. OUCH! The braves are an interesting team. Plenty of young talent to   more...

Here's a breakdown on how each team in the NL acquired their current closer. It's amazing how many stoppers were free agents or arrived via a blockbuster trade. Only two players who are now closing have spent their entire career with just that team...and they were both 1st round selections.   more...

Drafting closers has been a touchy subject for me this season. My failure to evaluate this position properly has grown into a disgust for all big league stoppers (angry over the ones I drafted and pissed at the ones who are good that i passed up), forcing me to move 'drafting closers' up my   more...

Act quickly! With all of the deadline deals, your fantasy closers may not be closing anymore and you will need to make moves before someone else does. Here's the rundown.

Phillies' young All Star Cole Hamels and Atlanta's Chuck James each gave up 4 runs in the 1st inning before they both recovered to battle each other for the next 5 innings, neither giving up another hit for the duration of their outing, before Hamels narrowly won the battle of lefties on points as   more...

Spring training officially begins tomorrow, albeit only pitchers and catchers reporting. Even with teams gearing up for the regular season there are still plenty of options on the free agent market for teams looking to fill a void, create competition, or build depth.

After a 4-3 loss to the White Sox Saturday night, an argument broke out between Indians Paul Byrd and Bob Wickman as reporters who were collecting post game quotes looked on. It's unsure how it started, but Wickman was heard to ask Byrd if he wanted to "take it outside." Byrd responded by telling   more...
