Don’t Chase Utley down path of high uncertainty
By Nicholas Minnix | Categories: Finger Nickin' Good
Most fantasy baseball players are attuned to the declining value of Chase Utley. But do they grasp the grandeur of the long-time roto cornerstone's condition?
Free-for-all for saves in Florida, and a healing hurler
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
The save options in Tampa aren't that exciting, but don't be waiting on Joe Maddon to help you decide your sleeper target for cheap saves. Also, one of my favorite undervalued pitchers of 2011!
NFLPA Decertifies
By TheBigLead.com - Jason Lisk | Categories: NFL
NFLPA Decertifies: The parties couldn’t agree. According to every source on my twitter feed, the NFLPA has decertified by filing the necessary papers in federal court. This means litigation. I’ll have more thoughts later, but for now, enjoy your Friday . . . by not thinking about millionaires and billionaires. March Madness, baby! [NFLPA]
Spring Flings: late-round aces and news you can use
By Tim Heaney | Categories: Rounding the Bases,Snap Judgment
Reiterating the concern. His durability has already taken a beating. Now a potentially chronic knee issue? Second base is deep this season. I haven't been targeting Utley or Robinson Cano this year because of that. So, unless his price tanks, no changes on my end.
Fantasy NASCAR: Let’s Make A Deal
By Brian Polking | Categories: Fantasy NASCAR,NASCAR
NASCAR is taking a week off prior to a trip to Bristol Motor Speedway, but that doesn't mean fantasy owners can afford do the same. If you play in a league that allows trades, the bye week is the perfect time to try to improve your roster. With three races in the books, there is decent a chance you can catch some other fantasy owners in panic mode and get your hands on some big names that are off to slow starts at a discount price. Now is also the best time to sell high on some drivers that have been strong out of the gate. Click here to read the rest...
A rinky dinky reduction for Zack Greinke, and unscheduled saves
By Nicholas Minnix | Categories: Finger Nickin' Good
Zack Greinke hooped it up and fell back down. But that price was small, and the reduction in draft day cost is minimal, too. Plus, the Phils' 2012 closer will be ... ?

How will Cam Newton's Pro Day performance affect his draft placement?
Tiki Barber planning a return to the NFL
By Cory J. Bonini | Categories: Misanthropic Musings
Tiki Barber plans to return to the NFL at age 36. Does he have a chance at making a roster, and if so, which teams could be interested?
Bracketosophy: The Georgetown & BYU Dilemmas
By TheBigLead.com - Jason Lisk | Categories: NFL
The regular season is over, and the big conferences get the tournament week underway, starting with the Big East first round tomorrow. You’ll hear lots of talk about the bubble, and it will be inappropriately and overbroadly used for any team with a winning record from a major conference this week. In actuality, we are [...]
Two first sackers? Don’t be-LABR the roto points
By Nicholas Minnix | Categories: Finger Nickin' Good
Back from LABR weekend in sunny Phoenix, also the de facto hub of the Cactus League. Incredibly fun AL auction on Saturday evening - great people, tough players. (Sirius/XM Fantasy Sports Radio broadcasted both the AL and NL events live - and later replayed them - so that roto addicts could get a feel for [...]
The Positives of a Lockout
By TheBigLead.com - Jason Lisk | Categories: NFL
Former player looks at positives of a lockout: Nate Jackson, a wide receiver with the Denver Broncos from 2003-2008, wrote about some of the positives that could come from the lockout. While I don’t think the length of a lockout will be enough to have an impact on player independence or health, he does raise [...]
Joe Mauer hasn’t fallen, and he can still get up
By Nicholas Minnix | Categories: Finger Nickin' Good
I don't think anyone has flipped the switch on the air raid siren, but a couple of people have asked me about the level of concern fantasy baseball players should have regarding Joe Mauer's left knee. He has yet to play in a Grapefruit League contest. The lubricating injections he received may be creating the [...]
NFLPA Decertification Strategy
By TheBigLead.com - Jason Lisk | Categories: NFL
NFLPA’s Best Strategy to Decertify?: Attorney Lester Munson (not to be confused with Roger Cossack) believes that the NFLPA’s best strategy is to decertify in the face of the lockout. It opens the door to filing antitrust litigation against the NFL monopoly (likely successful) and seeking an injunction against a lockout (more uncertain). If they don’t do it by today, [...]
More royalty headed King Felix’s way
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
The Seattle Mariners have a beastly right-handed pitcher knocking on the door for a chance to start this year. Michael Pineda is his name, remember it.
