A quick congratulations to the Red Sox Manny Ramirez who connected on the 500th home run of his career
tonight against the Orioles. For many years Manny was one of the most feared run producers in baseball. As far as fantasy baseball is concerned, Manny’s best days are behind him, but he is…

For those of you who make Fighting Chance Fantasy a daily read, first thank you, but also you knew that one 
of these days that I would be away for a couple days due to the birth of our second daughter. Well, Wednesday night, May 28th at 10:38 pm, we welcomed Morgan Rylee Hallam to our family…

A congratulations to Ryan is in order, who by the time he reads this, should be a father to a second beautiful baby girl (Good luck when they are teenagers!). So in the time he is away, I will try to fill his shoes with tonight’s Beyond the Boxscore.
Daisuke Matsuzaka left yesterday’s Redsox game at the start of the fifth inning. It was first believed to…

Reds’ rookie Jay Bruce had quite the major league debut for himself. Bruce went 3-3 with two walks and a stolen base. The same thing applies to Bruce that I said about Kershaw the other day. There’s not much more to say about Bruce. If he is available, go get him right away, he should have a major fantasy impact in 2008.
I have been avoiding writing about Eric Hinske…

Although some kinks have yet to be worked out, I’m thrilled to welcome you to our new address. Ryan has asked me to step aboard and help with the technical side of things, and to write some articles. I hope you like the changes you see thus far, their will be many more in the next couple weeks. Any feedback you may have would be really appreciated and can…

Two days after the best pitching prospect gets the call to the majors, the best hitting prospect will be hitting Cincinnati on Tuesday. Jay Bruce will be joining the Reds in time for their game on Tuesday. What else do I need to say? Bruce was hitting .363 with ten homers and eight steals for the Reds AAA affiliate. He is a must own in all formats and could…

Today, the big time prospect did not disappoint. Clayton Kershaw was as good as advertised on Sunday as he had his way with many of the St. Louis Cardinals. Kershaw went six innings, allowed two runs and struck out seven. There’s not too much else to say, if you were debating on using your waiver priority on him, this should seal the deal. Pick him up in all formats.
I would like to start out tonight by welcoming the NEW (and second) member of the Fighting Chance Fantasy Sports Team. Andy Houle will bring a number of things to the table. One, he is a great fantasy player. He has been playing in leagues with me for about eight years now, and has been my stiffest competition. His opinions and knowledge are very respectable…

Maybe you’re in a deep rotisserie league and had Eric Gagne and Jason Isringhausen as your two closers, what can you do now? Well first off you should be kicking yourself for drafting two of the most injury prone closers in the game. That being said, I would stay away from acquiring guys who have frequented the DL more than Bartolo…
