What have we here? It's a ranking of the top 30 MLB ready prospects. Some are in the majors and others are working their way to the top level. With the start of the season, there will be two additions to the power rankings. I've added an estimated time of arrival. I will also add the prospect’s stats from the season. The stats will NOT include RBI and R for hitters or W-L for pitchers because those numbers are team dependent. For hitters, I will provide plate appearances, a slash line, hom[...]Keep on reading: MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Power Rankings for Fantasy (Week Two)

It's just the nature of the game. Below are five NL relievers to watch closely in 2015 who could have significant fantasy baseball value if the closer on their team were to go down. In fantasy leagues that count holds, these relief pitchers could hold stand-alone value on draft day as well. So with that being said, let's get to it.   To[...]Keep on reading: Save Prospecting: Top Five Non-Closing NL Relief Pitchers

This article references DEF, Matt Cain, Ryan Vogelsong, SP, Tim Hudson, Tim Lincecum, Yusmeiro Petit and more! As the San Francisco Giants embark on their latest title defense, it seemed there would be a cloud of uncertainty surrounding their mercurial right-hander Tim Lincecum. The former multiple-time NL Cy Young winner was demoted from the starting pitching staff late last season and relegated to the bullpen. He remained there during the playoff run that ultimately ended with the franchise’s third championship in five years. However, now it appears the plan is to reverse course and have Lincecum[...]Keep on reading: Tim Lincecum to Begin Year in SF Starting Rotation

After flirting with the Astros and almost ending up in Houston, starting pitcher Ryan Vogelsong has decided to return to the defending World Series Champions, inking a one-year, $4 million deal to remain a Giant for the fifth year in a row. The contract is also filled with incentives.#sfgiants: $4 million deal brings happy return for Vogelsongs http://t.co/5q2fvHUEor via @sfchronicle-- Henry Schulman (@hankschulman) January 24, 2015 Vogelsong stays with the Giants despite t[...] Keep on reading: Giants Lure Back Vogelsong on One-Year Deal

Jake Peavy - San Francisco Giants (45% Owned)For the most part, Jake Peavy has been a tremendous disappointment this year as he has a 3-13 record with a 4.34 ERA. However, he has slowly gained confidence and pitched very well over his last 3 starts. During his last 3 outings, Peavy has gone 7 innings in each and given up only 4 earned runs total. In the 21 innings pitched, Peavy has struck out 16 batters and posted a 2-1 record over the span.[...] Keep on reading: Top 3 Sleeper Fantasy Baseball Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups

It's Time To Answer For The Mistakes You Made On Draft DayMany fantasy league trading deadlines are quickly approaching and you need to evaluate what your team needs in order to make that last push for a playoff spot. If your team's needs include starting pitching, I'm here to help. I've identified another four starting pitchers that are worthy of being added to your fantasy roster and shouldn't cost you too much.

I spent about 2.5 hours tonight watching my Giants get their faces beaten in by the Dodgers on Friday night. It was an 8-1 loss and an ugly one at that, with the Dodgers simply battering former Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum. I bring this up both as an excuse to whine (alright mostly to whine), but also because it serves as a useful metaphor for the state some fantasy teams are finding themselves in right now. Maybe you're like the Giants, formerly the class of your division with a commandi[...] Keep on reading: Top 5 Hitter Streamers For Week 18: Waiver Wire Targets

This article references Tim Lincecum and more! BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep LeaguesANALYSIS: Tim Lincecum is not the great ace pitcher he was a few seasons ago so right out of the gates I caution you to not buy too much into the no-hitter he threw this week. It was against the Padres, who are pitiful, and before the no-hitter he had allowed 17 earned runs in his previous 22 IP, which is pretty gross. All that being said he is a guy you can use as a matchup play and this week he gets STL home and SD again in Petco - both solid matchups. Thi[...] Keep on reading: Tim Lincecum (SP, SF) -- Waiver Wire Pickups

Something that readers of this column may or may not know about me is that I'm a huge Giants fan. Knowing that, I only have 3 things to say for this introduction to my weekly streamers column: Tim Lincecum threw a no-hitter Tim Lincecum threw a no-hitter Tim Lincecum threw a no-hitter (somehow it just never gets old to say)Now that every Padres fan on this site officially hates me (don't run away though because I'll be giving one of your players some love today), let's move on to the[...] Keep on reading: Top 5 Hitter Streamers For Week 14: Waiver Wire Targets
