It’s time for another quick game of “Who closed the game?” Our first contestant is the New York Mets. Billy Wagner is on a rehab assignment, but for the time being they are still trying to piece together the 9th inning. Well, tonight Aaron Heilman came into the game in the ninth and……..got the save! Heilman walked a batter but didn’t allow…

Sorry about the night off, it was a birthday celebration.
Delmon Young is really starting to heat up now. After having just four homers the whole season, Young now has three bombs over the last five days. If this is the start of a hot streak for Delmon, he could really help carry your team to a championship. He has a TON of potential…

Two games after the All-Star Break, two home runs for Billy Butler. He has been a power disappointment in his time in Kansas City, but perhaps this is the start of his much-anticipated breakout. In two days he doubled his home run total from the rest of the season. Butler had 13 homers in just 57 games last season in AAA…

Full slate of games tonight, but not a ton of news.
The Yankees won their first game after the break, getting some support from a guy I think will have a great second half, and a guy I think will have a cold second half. Mike Mussina won his 12th game of the year on Friday, and I continue to be shocked…

After not hitting his first homer of the season until June 7th, Delmon Young didn’t wait nearly as long to hit his second as he did it on June 29th. Now, he is actually on a hot streak, as on July 4th, Delmon connected on his third of the season. If this guy gets hot, look out, as…

I know Troy Tulowitzki has been frustrating fantasy owners everywhere. They have got to be hoping that his homer on Sunday is the start of him getting his form back. Tulowitzki was 1-3 with this second home run of the season, which was his first since returning from the DL. You can’t expect him to repeat last season’s statistics, but this guy’s…

Sorry for the delay in posting folks, not the best night on the baby front! Lots of tears! But enough about that, let’s get to baseball!
If you would have told me in April that on June 7th I would have written the following sentence I would have said you were crazy, but here goes. Twins OF Delmon Young connected on his first home run of the…

The Reds have called up their phenom pitching prospect Homer Bailey to start their game on Thursday. 
Now I know that I have been urging you all to pick up some of the hotter prospects all season long to mixed success. However, today I come to you with a message of caution with Bailey. He has…

The last time I wrote to you in my beyond the boxscore post, I featured some post-hype prospects. Now is an important time in your league to start making your move to the top of the standings and their is no better way than grabbing a player who’s value is lower than his production will be.
A post-hype prospect is someone in his…

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…
