I will be away this weekend camping, searching for Bigfoot, and drinking lots of Southern Comfort (hopefully I won't run into Sasquatch when I'm hammered, but I can't tell you that if I snap any pictures they won't be a bit blurry). Before I head out I wanted to, of course, leave some parting thoughts [...]

Fantasy baseball (for those of you that wonder why I use the term in the lead sentence of my articles a lot it has something to do with SEO, and if you don't know what SEO means more power to you -- these damn acronyms are out of control aren't they?). I'll touch on a [...]

A young prospect is ready to make his name at the big league level, or is he? The story of the top second base prospect is one of many storylines in today's piece. ELITE PROSPECT CALLED UP Kolten Wong has been called up. Who is Kolten Wong? According to many he may be the best [...]

I'm Ray Flowers, co-host of The Drive on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio. Each week I'll be answering questions that have been sent to me at the BaseballGuys' Twitter account in my never ending attempt to replace myself by explaining to everyone how I evaluate players thereby making myself obsolete. Three keepers between Aramis Ramirez, Elvis [...]

Each week I'll be here answering questions that have been sent to me at the BaseballGuys' Twitter account. Eric Hosmer and Brandon Morrow too much for Adrian Gonzalez? 14 tm mixed keeper. -- @strofaninKC Hosmer is hitting .204 with a .617 OPS disappointing everyone who drafted him to be a starter at first base this [...]

New York. The Big Apple. The center of the universe. Instead of orbiting around New York City from my home in California, I'm off to the middle of it all this weekend. Am I on a mystic quest to save a beautiful maiden or to fight the evil forces that are oppressing humanity? Of course [...]

In 2010 Delmon Young was a star. Not only did he finish one hit from a .300 season, he also bashed a career best 21 homers and socked 46 doubles. Young also knocked in 112 runs, the 8th highest total in baseball, more than Robinson Cano (109), Mark Teixeira (108), Ryan Howard (108), Evan Longoria [...]

How Quickly We Forget We have short memories. Most of us can't remember what we had for breakfast on Monday, let alone what baseball players did past last season. In what follows I'll ask you to guess who I'm describing by taking a look at their efforts the past two years. I bet you will be surprised to learn that some of the names you are really down on in 2012 because of poor performances last season were stars, or borderline stars, as recently as 24 months ago. Maybe, just maybe, these guys might all represent nice buy low opportunities for the coming season. * ADP numbers come from MockDraftCentral. 2010 Stats: .298-21-112-77-5 2011 Stats: .268-12-64-54-1 ADP: 231.1 Age in 2012: 26 years old This hitter had the 8th most RBI in baseball in 2010. He was also only two hits from a .300-20-110 season, and those are elite numbers. He floated between two teams last year and the results with both clubs weren't ideal, but he did finish on a pretty good high note. This outfielder had eight homers and 32 RBI over his last 40 games an in so doing you would have thought that his value would be much higher this season than his current ADP and the fact that he is only 26 years old which would seem to point to the fact that his peak years could still be ahead of him. He is Delmon Young. 2010 Stats: .327-9-75-88-1 2011 Stats: .287-3-30-38-0 ADP: 80.0 Age in 2012: 29 years old Hopefully this fella is a pretty obvious one since not many guys rap out .327 batting averages. I'm not even going to waste any time trying to convince you of anything without giving his name -- it's Joe Mauer of the Twins. Mauer is coming off the worst season of his career no doubt, and since he injured about every part of his body at some point...
