Erick Aybar my SB guardian Angel?
Run, Erick, Run
This past weekend, I pulled the trigger on a trade with CDM Sports' Charlie Wiegert in Tout Wars mixed.
He gets Raul Ibanez and Mike Moustakas. I take Erick Aybar and ... Juan Miranda.
Before you say anything, I took on Miranda's carcass just to make the deal work and used him as a free roster spot to address other needs.
You could say I got the short end of the deal on paper. But, especially given Aybar's relative positional value, the trade still makes a bunch of sense: Tap your mouse here for more »
First-Half Fantasy Baseball All-Stars
Here's the second annual Rounding the Bases First-Half All-Star team, gauging the fantasy baseball studs based on profit return on draft or pickup value, not necessarily overall performance alone. No Hanley Ramirez, Miguel Cabrera, etc - only those midrange and late grabs that are putting you over the top.
Best of all, no Joe Buck or Tim McCarver. I promise.

Doors opening for this Angel to close
Early Saturday morning I finally watched The Doors for the first time. Not only is it now my favorite Oliver Stone movie, it's climbing my music epics list.
The Doors were famous for their hauntingly exploratory lyrics and keyboards. Jim Morrison's poetry challenged listeners to look beyond the obvious, what is fed to them. Just as this iconic band started to blaze their trail near Los Angeles, another powerful SoCal force is lurking below the mainstream scene. Tap your mouse here for more »
Scott Kazmir: Remastered
In 2010, I believe in Scott Kazmir. Not just because I partake in Led Zeppelin, either.
I trashed the former Rays southpaw last year. This is why the roto community fantasizes every year: redemption stories and shifting values.
And in this case, bargain-basement clearance sales. Tap your mouse here for more »
Scott Kazmir traded to Angels and more fantasy baseball notes
Out of the box
UPDATED 8/28 11:09 p.m. EDT: After a period of conflicting reports, the Angels acquired Rays starting pitcher Scott Kazmir for minor-league pitcher Alexander Torres and infielder Matthew Sweeney.
This trade doesn't really change Kazmir's already erratic fantasy value that much. He isn't changing leagues; the Rays and Angels have similar bullpens, run support and ballpark factors. Tap your mouse here for more »
