Giants RF Hunter Pence began the week going 0-4 against the Rockies, but had at least one hit and drove in at least one run in every other game. Indeed in all but two games he homered, winding up with 6 HR, … Continue reading
Red Sox Rise in Week 23
This week’s top fantasy baseball players both play for the Boston Red Sox, and a third teammate ranked 7th overall, in a shallow 5×5 Mixed League. Will Middlebrooks was the clear fantasy MVP for the week, batting .464 with 4 HR, … Continue reading
Surprises Star in Week 22
This week’s best fantasy players aren’t likely to finish high in the post-season awards voting, but if you’re in a weekly head-to-head league, they’ve sure been fun to watch in week 22. Brandon Moss led the shallow 5×5 Mixed League ($70.17)as … Continue reading
