Ut-Oh, Utley's Knee is a Major Issue
Back on February 3rd we wondered where we should place Chase Utley on draft boards.  As always, things have changed since then, when I recommended targeting Utley as your two bagger and expected a huge year.

Now Utley is suffering from patella tendinitis in his right knee.  Color me extremely worried about Utley this season, as there is no timetable for when he will see any action this ...

Cole Hamels - Best of the Best?
Unless you have been living in a cave, you are well aware that the Philadelphia Phillies, upon adding Cliff Lee, have formed one of, if not the best rotations of all time.  I'm always hesitant to call anything the best ever, and I will stick to that rule here.  The question of importance is which of their vaunted starters should you target in your fantasy league?

Another Reason to Admire Roy Halladay
We all know who Roy Halladay is.  In case you have been living in a cave the past few years, Roy is arguably the best pitcher in baseball.  While he may not win the NL Cy Young Award this year (there is some stiff competition), he has shown that he is a class act and truly appreciates everyone around him.

Back on May 29th Roy pitched a perfect game in Florida against the Marlins.  ...

Cards Deal Carpenter to Houston for Feliz!!
The Saint Louis Cardinals needed a three bagger, and today they filled that hole by acquiring Pedro Feliz from the Houston Astros.  In order to nab Feliz, the Cards sent Carpenter to the Astros.  No, not Chris Carpenter, that would be lunacy in its finest form.  This Carpenter is David, a minor league pitcher.

Word out of Cincinnati, Atlanta, San Diego and Philadelphia was hard to ...
