Adam Wainwright, Josh Johnson present high reward/risk in early fantasy baseball drafts
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
As Nicholas Minnix pointed out last week with Atlanta Braves elite talent Tommy Hanson (shoulder), fantasy baseball drafters are easily scared away from players whose previous season was derailed by injuries. The explanation surrounding Hanson's breakdown and his subsequent training/rehab to avoid a similar ailment should settle the fears of fantasy participants this year, but [...]
A Patriots-Giants Super Bowl rematch in the making?
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
First of all, let me please take a second to pat myself on the back for correctly picking the New York Giants to upset the Green Bay Packers - at Lambeau Field no less - in the Divisional Playoff round last weekend. I'm taking a bow as I write… I wasn't the only one, though; [...]
Pale Hose offer another fantasy baseball discount on closers
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
Most people are tired of making heavy investments in closers these days in fantasy baseball. I don't blame them; saves as a fantasy category are heavily overvalued in today's game, especially when you consider the volatility of the specialized position. Be careful if you're considering rostering a "so-called" elite ninth-inning stopper this year. By the [...]
Hanley Ramirez needs to put the drama aside and dominate in 2012
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
It's insane how much difference a single year can make. Ask Hanley Ramirez. Heading into 2011 fantasy baseball drafts, Han-Ram was a consensus top-three selection after hitting better than .300 in every year since 2007. It didn't hurt that his position - shortstop - was extremely shallow. The dropoff in talent there was well worth [...]
Who dat gonna beat Drew Brees?
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
Geaux N'Awlins Saints, Go! MVP candidate Drew Brees led the gold and black to a convincing 45-16 win over the archrival Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football yesterday. In the process, he set the all-time single-season record for passing yards, trumping Dan Marino's previous mark of 5,084 aerial yards with the Miami Dolphins in 1984. [...]
Padres victorious in deal with Cincy, Volquez still worth rostering
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
I wasn't at all shocked that the San Diego Padres shipped Mat Latos to the Cincinnati Reds over the weekend. However, I was really surprised at what they received in return. Yonder Alonso is a nice acquisition, but not a shocker; the Reds were looking to deal him since the winter meetings with him blocked [...]
Tyler Colvin, Colorado and Coors Field… the perfect fit?
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
Sometimes it's hard to keep up with baseball's offseason transactions, especially the under-the-radar signings and trades. In case you've been too consumed with the NFL and your fantasy football teams, keep our HOTW feed bookmarked, as well as our Hot Stove coverage on a daily basis. The winter meetings last week answered many questions and [...]
Christmas wishes in Chicago: Brett Favre not on the list
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
Egg nog, Christmas carols, gifts, festive lights, cookies and milk, Santa Claus and… Brett Favre?! Will the ageless one make a return during the holiday season? While some of you would like to (laughingly) see Favre attempt his third comeback, I'm guessing most of you have been content not having to deal with his media [...]
Tim Tebow a winner, but what about his fantasy football value?
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
Just win, baby. That's Tim Tebow's and the Denver Broncos' motto after Tebow has posted a 5-1 record - including 4-0 on the road - after taking the starting QB gig away from Kyle Orton (now with the Kansas City Chiefs) in Week 5. Tebow's resume also includes three road wins against divisional foes. It [...]
Giving thanks to Laurent Robinson, my fantasy football pumpkin pie
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
The Thanksgiving hangovers and food comas are in full swing on Black Friday, no doubt. We all have plenty to be thankful for during this holiday season, but after yesterday's games, Laurent Robinson is at the top of my fantasy football list. And speaking of bargain shopping deals, Robinson was surely that, as he came [...]
Southpaw QBs won’t save Houston, Kansas City
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
The Houston Texans' playoff chances took a serious hit in Week 10; Matt Schaub will miss the rest of the year after suffering a Lisfranc foot injury. The Kansas City Chiefs endured another tough loss to the Denver Broncos and could be without the services of their QB for the rest of the year after [...]
WR value swaps: Oakland’s Denarius Moore on the fantasy football map
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
I have no doubt that many of you fantasy football fanatics out there are already scratching your heads after benching Denarius Moore against the San Diego Chargers Thursday night. Yes, I tabbed Moore as too risky of a play, thus worthy of a bench spot, for your Week 10 roster. These things will happen in [...]
Week 9 fantasy football thoughts and what to expect moving forward
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
Now that we are officially into the second half of the NFL season, let's take a look at some notable happenings in Week 9. The Indianapolis Colts fell to 0-9, and coupled with the Miami Dolphins' surprising win over the Kansas City Chiefs, are now leading the "Suck for Luck" sweepstakes. How will Peyton Manning [...]
Texas’ pitching tinkering will give added value to Neftali Feliz, Mike Adams
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
Now that the World Series is over (congrats to the St. Louis Cardinals), major league teams are already gameplanning for the 2012 campaign. You should do the same if you plan on winning a '12 fantasy baseball title. Your first order of business should be to keep up with all of the offseason moves, injury [...]
Will opportunity spell success for Ryan Torain, Roy Helu?
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
Week 7 was a doozy for prominent injuries in the NFL. As you all know by now, ailments play a huge role in fantasy football maneuvering, especially during these bye weeks. Perhaps the most significant injuries took place in Washington. The Washington Redskins placed both Tim Hightower (knee) and Chris Cooley (finger, knee) on the [...]
