Hank Conger drew the start at catcher for the second consecutive day — just the third time that has happened all season — and made the most of it, going 3-for-4 with two runs scored, two RBI and a fifth-inning home run. Saturday’s performance strengthened his case for a full-time platoon, but [...]

Hank Conger has been horrible this season behind the dish for the Tampa Bay Rays. Yesterday, Curt Casali got the nod, as Chris Archer was on the mound.

I’m obsessed with Chuck Shaw wine from Trader Joe's. It’s a $3 bottle of hooch that smells like paint thinner mixed with alcohol. It stings the nostrils. But after a glass or two, it’s the best damn bottle of wine you can get for under $5. I happened to be drinking some of this wine when I discovered my new FBB obsession, the Regressed Probabilistic Model (RPM.) I like it so much, I might get it tattooed on my lower back. From the genius minds at baseball prospectus, they have create[...]Keep on reading: Pitch Framing Metrics: Impact On Fantasy Baseball Pitchers

Dynasty Rankings at CatcherAfter opening the series with third base, it's time time to rank the next position in my dynasty baseball series - catcher. This is not the most glamorous position to rank. Catchers don't play as many games as the other positions, but there is still something to be said for obtaining a top tier backstop.
