The calendar is changing. Winter is trying to keep its grip on large part of the country, but that will soon be over. Hope is in the air. Baseball season is nearly upon us. Spring Training is here, which means it’s the best time of the year. Many of us compare this time to the days and weeks leading up to Christmas. Like keeping track of the big sales at Christmas, there is also a lot of news going on in Arizona and Florida. After his intersquad start on March 8, Diamondbacks pitcher Zack Greinke said he has a nagging…

I really wanted to call this "Dudes in the Outfield," but I think I'll leave that to an aspiring screenwriter. Kevin Costner is already lining up for the lead role. Outfield is a deep position, like starting pitcher, so as promised I'll be breaking the positions up into two write-ups each. There are plenty of outfielders I like early on (hello, Byron Buxton), but it doesn't do you any good for me to tell you to draft top-20 outfielders. Therefore, my Dudes are generally going to be the guys you're drafting as your third…

One of the most enjoyable parts of fantasy sports in debating which players are better than others. We’ve all done it. You’re hanging out with some friends, probably enjoying a beer or two, and you get into a long discussion over which player is better than another one. Sometimes it might get heated, but that’s okay. We aren’t all going to agree on every single player. That would make fantasy leagues incredibly boring. The same can be said here at Fantrax. We have a great group of writers and podcasters (that might not be…

The Yankees have signed the second baseman Neil Walker to a one-year deal. The signing immediately limits the major league playing time for several rookies. The 32-year-old Walker has been a steady above-average hitter since joining the league. In just 448 plate appearances last season, he hit .265 with 14 home runs. He’s no longer a threat on the bases and did not steal a single base last season. In a full season of plate appearances, he’s likely to hit 20 home runs with a .270 AVG. The problem is projecting him for that…

Actual regular season baseball is great and everything, but there's something to be said for this time of year. I like to think of it as a time for the "dreamers," a time when mock drafts give us hope that we might be able to draft the perfect team in our real-life fantasy leagues, even though you and I both know that's never going to happen. Articles like these are fun because they make me look smart. Then in six months time when 75% of my draft day targets have mediocre seasons, it's your turn to look smart by saying "I…
