Just Blogging Around – Fantasy Time

“Grey” at razzball.com critiques the ESPN mock fantasy baseball draft results in a post from yesterday. In his words, “here’s some head scratchers from ESPN’s 2010 fantasy baseball mock draft:” Carl Crawford – 7th overall. Ha! Seriously, I don’t even know what to say about this. Michael Bourn is that different at around pick 100? [...]
Carl Crawford owns Mark Buehrle. Well, maybe not “owns”, but he does quite well. CC is 10 for 21 against Buehrle including a couple of doubles and four RBI. Carl’s been in a slump, so perhaps tonight is the night he can break out of it. BJ Upton (5 for 13) and Carlos Pena (11 [...]
Believe it or not, Adam Eaton appears to be a Rays killer. The Rays who have had the most success against Eaton are no longer Rays or are in the minors. Adam Kennedy, Fred McGriff and even Hee Seop Choi would be good plays today. Remarkably, the list of Carl Crawford, Pat Burrell, Jason Bartlett, [...]
Gabe Kapler fairs the best agains this ex-Ray. He’s 6 for 18 in his career against Lurch with a couple of doubles. Carlos Pena is 3 for 8 with an HR. Avoid Aki (1 for 6) and Pat Burrell (1 for 5) although I have a sneaky suspicion that it’s time for Burrell’s first HR [...]
vs. Daisuke – The Ray to Play

Aki! Aki! Aki! Perhaps it’s the familiarity with his country-mate. But, Aki has had pretty good luck against Daisuke. He is 9 for 24 in his career with a HR. So, if you have Aki as your backup 2B, he might be a sneaky play in this one. On the other hand, if you have [...]
Vs. Jon Lester – The Ray to Play
Posted: 8th April 2009 by Devon Rogers in Fantasy BaseballTags: Fantasy
While no Rays player has had a particularly good time with Jon Lester, look for Carlos Pena to rebound from his awful opening day and have a good game. Carlos is 5 for 16 against Lester with a couple of homers. After that, I’m looking at Benzo to spark the Rays offense. A mighty 1 [...]
In the season opener, take Evan Longoria against Josh Beckett. In his short career, Evan is 4 for 12 with 1 HR against Beckett. And, we can’t forget his ALCS Game 2 against Beckett where he went 3 for 3 with a HR and 2 doubles. Others to consider are Jason Bartlett (.333 with a [...]
