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
