DOs And DON’Ts: Colorado Rockies
The Rockies have been very active this offseason, tinkering with a roster that, as a whole, underachieved in 2011 despite having two of the game's best offensive players as well as a bunch of very useful fantasy baseball options.

Fantasy Baseball – Coors Field And The Colorado Rockies
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...

Is Guthrie the Rockies new ace?
When he was with the Baltimore Orioles pitcher Jeremy Guthrie was the ace of the staff. He didn’t have ace stuff but on that staff it’s what he was. What’s interesting though is he’s gone to a slightly more competitive team in the Colorado Rockies and has a legitimate chance at becoming that teams ace.
I never thought this was a possibility especially...

Not a fan of the Jeremy Guthrie trade...
This afternoon, I asked people's feelings on the Jeremy Guthrie trade on Twitter, and from what I got, people hate it. I'm a bit confused why this trade happened now (despite Guthrie's arbitration hearing) and what the team got in return. That being said, Dan Duquette held a press conference with the local and electronic media this afternoon about the trade. I didn'...

Orioles Trade Jeremy Guthrie to the Rockies
The Orioles have traded workhorse starter Jeremy Guthrie to the Rockies for SP Jason Hammel and RP Matt Lindstrom.While I am sad to see Guthrie go, he was likely gone at the end of the season anyway and would have commanded somewhere around $9 million in salary through arbitration this season. Like the Luke Scott situation, I'm not sure why Guthrie was still on the team and believe...

Juan Nicasio: 2012 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper
One of my favorite time-killing activities is looking through MLB team depth charts. I’m a very forgetful person, and with 750 players in the majors at any given moment (and another 450 rounding out each team’s 40-man roster) there are a lot of players who just sort of slip my mind.
Juan Nicasio was one of these players. Then, one day last week, I was looking at the Colorado...

It won't take much more than a quick look around this spring to recognize the new-meets-old dynamic that will likely determine how the Colorado Rockies bounce back from a disappointing 2011 season.
When the team arrives in full at Salt River Fields Feb. 27, it will do so as a group very different than the one that showed up for camp in 2011 with designs on a spot in the postseason...

Did The Baltimore Orioles Make The Right Move Trading Jeremy Guthrie?
As Dan S pointed out a few days ago, the Baltimore Orioles were finally able to trade their #1 starter, Jeremy Guthrie. For a team that was looking to build towards the future, it seems like an odd move to trade Guthrie to the Colorado Rockies for reliever Matt Lindstrom and starter Jason Hammel. So the question is, was it a worthwhile trade for the O’s?

Mark Teixeira = Jason Giambi ?
Soon after Mark Teixeira signed that huge 8-year, $180 million deal back in 2008, I stumbled across an interesting comparison, talking about how Tex could go down the same path as Jason Giambi, who had just finished his 7-year deal with the Bombers.
When I first heard this, I couldn't help but laugh. Giambi was a steroid-user, DL prone for a good part of his contract...

Fantasy Impact: Orioles Send Guthrie to Rockies for Hammel, Lindstrom
In what many are calling a puzzling trade, the Baltimore Orioles have agreed to send starting pitcher Jeremy Guthrie to the Rockies for starter Jason Hammel and reliever Matt Lindstrom. I’ll leave it to the experts at Fangraphs and ESPN to debate the why. What I care about is the how — how this trade affects the fantasy values of those directly involved (Guthrie, Hammel...

For the middle years of the last decade they were known as “Todd and the Toddlers”. Well, that will no longer be the case in Denver, Colorado on opening day 2012...
