-Looks like Stephon Marbury will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery to remove bone spurs from his left ankle. This means Jamal Crawford will continue to play 40-plus minutes a game and Nate Robinson will remain a capable fantasy backup. -Brandon Roy is out until Monday due to a death in his family and will miss the Blazers [read more...]

-It doesn't look like Curt Schilling will have much of a fantasy baseball impact this year. The Red Sox starting pitcher will miss at least half of the 2008 season, possibly more because of a shoulder injury. -Kevin Garnett is still suffering from his abdominal injury, and despite his statements he'd like to play against his former team tonight, it appears [read more...]

-Pau Gasol will make his Laker debut tonight against the Nets and is expected to be in the starting lineup. Gasol was available for Los Angeles' game on Sunday, but coach Phil Jackson elected to give him an extra day of rest.

-The Santana to the Mets deal isn't finalized yet, but it seems imminent. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Johan will win a lot of games in the NL with a really low ERA. The only hold up is the Mets and Santana agreeing to a contract extension. -Timberwolves guard Randy Foye returned to game action yesterday, his [read more...]

Getting ready for fantasy baseball-Second Baseman

Aside from catchers, second baseman look like they'll be the weakest position in fantasy baseball this year. Other than Chase Utley, there are few guys that have enough history of major league success to be considered safe picks. Only Utley, Brandon Phillips, Brian Roberts and B.J. Upton ranked in the top 100 of ESPN's player rater last year, and Upton [read more...]

-Chris Webber told ESPN he will officially join the Golden State Warriors today. He averaged 11.2 ppg and 7.2 rpg last year, so he's possibly a third center for your fantasy team.

Getting ready for fantasy baseball-Tommy John and Francisco Liriano

After watching the 2006 Francisco Liriano I want to say that last year was just a bump in the road--no big deal.

So what data matters? What clues tell the real story? In this article I'm going to answer those questions by identifying the opposite.   1. Spring Training Cliches We've all heard [read more...]

Getting ready for fantasy baseball-First Basemen

While first base is often the deepest position in fantasy baseball, there can be a lot of pressure in that distinction. If you wait too long and get stuck with Todd Helton or Kevin Youkilis, you'll spend the entire season trying to find another source of home runs. Then again, if you take Albert Pujols in the first round and [read more...]
