Fantasy Baseball Player Musings and Pickups For Week Five

It's week five in Fantasy Baseball, and April is finally over.  With a full month in the books, it's time to reevaluate some of the things we thought were true at the beginning of the year.  First, I'm going to go back to draft day for a minute and go over the first few rounds for players who have been underperforming so far and let you know whether or not it's time to panic.  Then I'm going to go through some mid level players, and let you know who to cut.

Fantasy Pickup, Musings, and Trade Ideas Heading into Week Four

It's Easter Sunday as I write this, and Week Four starts on Monday in most leagues, so this column is essentially my reaction to what we know from the first three weeks.  I'm going to talk about guys who are hot and who are cold, and end the column with pickups for those of you in weekly leagues.  Anything I say in terms of cutting or picking up guys is in ten-team mixed leagues....Adjust accordingly for your deeper or AL/NL-Only leagues.

Fantasy Trades, Pickups, and Musings After Week Two

Hey everyone.  It's the weekend, and here on Big Derf Sports that means the big fantasy breakdown.  I provide starting pitcher pickups every day, but thats something I can only do because there are different pools of starters available every day.  With hitters, you can't evaluate on a day by day basis, so that's what this column is for.  I'm going to list guys to try and trade away, guys to trade for, guys to drop, and guys to try and pickup if available, and just offer general fantasy advice and opinions between each list.  Any ADP values, ownership values, or positional rankings are taken from espn.com's fantasy baseball service.
