Good Storylines for Weekend in Bronx
By Ed Price - AOL NewsLooking ahead a little bit – like three-to-six days ahead – there's some interesting pitching match-ups for the four-game series that opens the new Yankee Stadium.It's almost enough for the game on the field to steal the show from the official launch of the luxury cruiser U.S.S. One-and-a-half-billion. And almost worth a $2,600 ticket to see up close. (OK, maybe not.)How the Indians and Yankees line up, after the jump:• Thursday: How about the last two AL Cy Young Award winners going head-to-head? C.C. Sabathia, the 2007 winner, faces his former teammates, including Cliff Lee, ...
Opening Day Observations
By Knox Bardeen - AOL NewsAhhhhhhh... Opening Day! It's one of the finest days in professional sports. Free agents have been signed. Rookies have busted their humps to make the big club. And now we get to see where the chips will fall. Now that just about every team has one game in the books, let's look back and talk about some fantasy implications that can be drawn from Opening Day. This first day of baseball offers us only a minute sample size to read from. But there are story lines already developing. It's only one game but...Did you see what youngsters Jordan Schafer and Emilio Bonifacio did? Schafer hit a home run ...
Fantasy Week 1: Two-Start Pitchers
By Knox Bardeen - AOL NewsAs you set your fantasy lineups for week one remember that there are 43 starting pitchers this week who will start twice. I've broken these 43 pitchers into three categories. There are 19 "must start" pitchers, nine solid options, and 15 risky hurlers throwing twice. For the record, since there is only one game tonight featuring the Braves and the Phillies, and it's a Sunday night game, you'll find that in most weekly leagues Derek Lowe and Brett Myers (tonight's starters) will only have one start in week one, even though they'll be starting twice in their teams first seven games. Tim Lincecum ...
Fantasy Flings: American League East
By Knox Bardeen - AOL NewsFrom now until the regular season begins, Fantasy Flings is where you'll find interesting story lines about your favorite teams from Spring Training. If there is a position battle, a nagging injury, a comeback story or a youngster making a surge for the "big club" we'll let you know the fantasy implications.Boston Red SoxThe Red Sox rotation is still in flux. The four givens are Josh Beckett, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Jon Lester and Tim Wakefield. The race for the fifth spot has pretty much been narrowed down to two; Brad Penny and Justin Masterson. Most feel the job will be Penny's, but Masterson is ...
Fantasy Baseball Draft Kit: Five Guys to Lose Your League
By Matt Snyder - AOL NewsAs our old adage goes, you can't win your fantasy baseball league in the early rounds, but you can definitely lose it by reaching for the overrated players on the board. This isn't to say the guys on this list are bad players -- far from it, in fact -- but that they are likely going to be drafted far too high in fantasy leagues. Whether it's due to unreasonable expectations, too much name recognition, or a fluky 2008 season, here are five guys we recommend you avoid on draft day. CC Sabathia, Yankees - I'm a fan of the big man, and it was very exciting the way he put the Milwaukee Brewers on ...
Fantasy Baseball Draft Kit: Bust a Move
By Knox Bardeen - AOL NewsFree agency, it's the nature of the game in the 21st century. No longer are players locked down to one major league franchise (study your baseball history about getting rid of the reserve clause), and it's often the case that players no longer choose to stay with one franchise due to fan and city loyalty (Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio). Today's players are guided by a simple, yet fiscally sound mantra: "show me the money!" Somewhere Jerry Maguire is smiling.The offseason between 2008 and 2009 featured the same old storylines. We've seen aging superstars sign with better teams to make one ...
Jake Peavy Is the New CC Sabathia
By Matt Snyder - AOL NewsNext Big Thing is MLB FanHouse's look at emerging teams, trends and stars in 2009.After being acquired by the Brewers midseason in 2008, CC Sabathia enchanted Milwaukee fans with a downright absurd stretch of 17 starts. In those starts, he completed seven games, won 11, struck out 128 hitters in 130 2/3 innings, compiling a 1.00 WHIP and a 1.65 ERA. He finished sixth in MVP voting and fifth in Cy Young voting, and that was after only a half season of work. Along the way, he helped carry the Brewers to their first playoff appearance since 1982.Can a pitcher this year really have the same sort ...
From the Windup: Have the Yankees Done Enough This Offseason?
By Matt Snyder - AOL NewsFrom the Windup is FanHouse's extended look at a particular portion of America's pastime.While there is still time left in the Hot Stove season, and there are a few high quality players left on the market -- Ben Sheets, anyone? -- the Yankees have been the team who has made the biggest splash in all of baseball thus far. That splash was seemingly a reaction to missing the playoffs for the first time since the strike-shortened 1994.When the dust has settled from this offseason, though, are the Yankees really better off than last year -- when they finished behind the Tampa Bay Rays and Boston ...
Andy Pettitte Gets No Love From Yankees, Shows None in Return
By Eamonn Brennan - AOL NewsIt's no secret the Yankees have spent like madmen this offseason. After a year of "going young" -- which isn't enough time to truly "go young," but that's a different argument -- the Bronxies have decided that was stupid, and are now spending like never before on the best free agents money can buy. Except there's one free agent who isn't sexy, and who isn't dangling his services in front of a bunch of different teams. Andy Pettitte has sworn his dying loyalty to the Yankees. In return, they've offered him a one-year, $10 million deal, a pay cut from the $16 million he made last year. Not ...
