It is our weekly look into the mind of Eric Stashin over at rotoprofessor.com. I know, that is a scary thought. This week Eric graces us with a strategy question in his weekly blog. Do you draft by experience, or do you look for upside and potential? I believe there is a very fine line between the perfect mix of youth and experience and either a team…

Another in a line of baseball articles from our friend at rotoprofessor.com, Eric Stashin is continuing to put out great baseball info along with a some football stuff. For those who are new to Fighting Chance, Eric and I did a great (yet short lived) radio show together on blogtalkradio.com in which I often got the better of him in debates (that last part might not be true)…

Eric is runs a great blog and has some great baseball info as well as dabbling into some football. Keep an eye on Rotoprofessor for some ongoing news on major league baseball and the NFL.

There’s not that much going on with the injury front with the playoffs going on. With that, this will be the final Injury News and Analysis until a few weeks before the start of spring training. For injury news that come up between now and then, check out my site for a case by case review.

Well this is likely going to be the final twice weekly post for the injury news and analysis since the regular season will be wrapping up. I will definitely be posting important news throughout the post-season and off-season as it comes up regarding injuries. This year we have seen an increase in the number of injuries but it seems a lot worse based on who it effected. I’d like to thank…

Evan Longoria
Well 3 HR in one game answered any questions about his wrist/forearm strength. It’s safe to assume that he is fully healthy from the fractured tip of the ulna. Technically this is different from a fractured wrist and it actually has responded differently as well despite being in the same general area. Everyone in Tampa has to be very relieved that there appears to be no long term damage.
Erik Bedard
He’ll undergo exploratory arthroscopic surgery by Dr. Lewis Yocum (a true leader in the field) next week to figure out exactly what’s going on. Surgeons generally only do this procedure when the exam doesn’t match up with the diagnostic tests like MRI’s and CT scans. That’s not a good sign because something causes pain, even if it’s only due to his own mental makings. He’s been diagnosed with impingement…

As we approach the final days of the fantasy season, here are some players that might still be available that can help you.
1. Pablo Sandoval, San Francisco Giants. I didn’t get too excited about this guy when the Giants called him up, but he has hit nearly .340 since coming up with a few homers and 15 RBI. He should be catcher eligible, which could help, especially…

Brandon Phillips
Broken index fingers will take at least 4-6 weeks to heal usually and that means the end of the season for most athletes at this point. Phillips broke his right index finger in a bunt attempt earlier this week and the Reds put him on the 60-day DL in order to clear up a roster spot. Most likely it shouldn’t effect him long term but he already…

I would like to start out tonight by just having a short remembrance of the over 2,000 people who lost their lives needlessly on this fateful day seven years ago. While we have gotten no answers or retribution for the worst act in American history, what we can do is always remember this day. I really felt bad that this morning was the first time I didn’t watch…
