2012 Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Advice & Analysis
 Adam Jones (Credits Below) The definition of a sleeper has drastically changed over the years. Access to the internet, and instant news feeds such as Twitter, have ultimately provided equal access to relevant cutting edge information to all fantasy baseball enthusiasts. The following list of names will sound familiar to you, so you may not consider them a sleeper. However, these guys are a sure bet to outperform their current ADPs, and should be targeted on draft day. All round calculations are based on a 12 team league. Adam Jones While I was agonizing over the fact that I missed on Andrew McCutchen in our annual industry mock draft, I realized that I drafted almost the same player in Adam Jones in the seventh round. Jones clearly doesn’t fit the prototypical “sleeper” mold, but you will likely get a a similar value to McCutchen, with a five round discount. In Jones, you’re going to get a slightly higher average, at the cost of 10-15 stolen bases over the course of the year. Recently agreeing to a one-year deal with the Orioles to avoid arbitration, Jones is likely to meet or exceed his 2011 numbers while he searches for that much desired long term contract. A .280/25/75/90/15 season is on the horizon, don’t miss out. Current ADP: 75 Target: 5th/6th Michael Cuddyer Fantasy baseball’s “Swiss Army Knife”, Michael Cuddyer, will enjoy calling Coors Field his new home. According to ParkFactors.com, Cuddyer is leaving one of the four parks least friendly to hitters, for the mile high city which is considered to be the most hitter friendly of any MLB fields. Despite the fact he will likely be manning right field for the Rockies, the former Twin could potentially have position eligibility at 1B, 2B, 3B, OF and UTIL in your league. IN terms of production, take the .284/20/70/70/11 season he had in just 139 games in 2011, project it over a full season in Colorado, and you may have a .285/27/85/85/15 campaign in 2012.

 It's A Thome Party! (credits below) Congratulations to Jim Thome, who hit his 599th & 600th home runs last evening, leading the Minnesota Twins to a 9-6 victory over the Detroit Tigers. Thome is the eighth player in this exclusive fraternity, joining the likes of Babe Ruth, Wilie Mays, Hank Aaron, Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Alex Rodriguez and Ken Griffey, Jr. A second congratulations goes out to Jason Isringhausen, who notched his 300th save in a 5-4 Mets victory over the Padres in San Diego. The New York Yankees have a +178 run differential through 120 games. Conversely, the Houston Astros have a -159 run differential in 122 contests. Mike Carp slugged his fifth and sixth homers today while extending his MLB leading hit streak to 15 games. With just 41 games left, Matt Kemp needs 12 HR and 9 stolen bases to join the 40/40 club. Ryan Braun hit his 23rd homer and swiped his 23rd bag in a 3-0 Brewers victory over the Dodgers. A 30/30 season is imminent. Down On The Farm: Jerry Sands blasted his 23rd homer for the Albuquerque Isotopes. Yankees’ farmhand Dellin Betances has been promoted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre. Cameron Maybin has 17 stolen bases in the last month. The Detroit Tigers acquired Delmon Young from the Minnesota Twins in exchange for two minor league players. The acquisition of Young is a low-risk, medium-reward move for the Tigers who needed some help in the outfield. In his first at-bat for the Tigers, against his former Twins team, the aforementioned Young took Francisco Liriano deep for his fifth long ball of the season. The Chicago Cubs have signed 11th-round legacy Shawon Dunston, Jr., who will receive a $1.275 million signing bonus. John Axford (35), Jason Isringhausen (7), Mariano Rivera (31), Kerry Wood (1), Joe Nathan (10) and Brandon League (30) each earned saves last evening. Pitching duels I’m looking forward to watching today: James Shields vs. Jon Lester, Jonathan Sanchez vs. Randall Delgado and Ubaldo Jimenez vs. Gavin Floyd Written by Alan Harrison exclusively for TheFantasyFix.com Follow The Fantasy Fix on Twitter @thefantasyfix or for Free Fantasy Sports Advice use our Quick Fix to get help with your team (August 14, 2011 - Photo by Dave Reginek/Getty Images North America) Tags: The Fantasy Fix, Fantasy Baseball Daily News, 2011 Fantasy Baseball Tips, 2011 Fantasy Baseball Advice, The Daily Fix, Jim Thome, Jason Isringhausen, 600, 300 Saves 2011 Fantasy Baseball Daily Fix: Jose Reyes Tours The DL, Uggla Still Streaking & Strasburg! 08/09/2011
 Jose Reyes (see credits below) The MLB leader in triples, Jose Reyes, officially hit the disabled list yesterday with a strained left hamstring. The only thing that could hurt worse than his hammy, is his wallet, as he was expected to be awarded handsomely this offseason in free agency. Did you lose Jose Reyes to the DL? Triple check to see if Emilio Bonifacio (71%), Yunel Escobar (77%) and J.J. Hardy (64%) aren’t owned first, but then look at this list of the hottest short stops over the last month that are owned in less than 50% of Yahoo! leagues: Yuniesky Betancourt (19%), Cliff Pennington (8%), Marco Scutaro (12%) and Jason Bartlett (13%). Say your prayers. Dan Uggla beat out an infield single (1-for-3) to extend his hit streak to 29 games. Despite blasting 12 moon shots, and batting .354 during his current hit streak, Uggla is still batting just .220 on the season. Jarrod Saltalamacchia clubbed his 11th homer of the season last night, to boost the Sawx past the Twinkies, 8-6. Not a bad fill-in while Brian McCann was on the disabled list, eh? WIth McCann eligible to return from the DL as early as August 12th, you may want to check what others in your league would be willing to pay for the #1 catcher, and add another piece at a position/category of need for the playoff run. Don’t look now, but Alex Rios is 9 for his last 22 with a long ball and two stolen bases. Strictly SEO: Stephen Strasburg, Stephen Strasburg, Stephen Strasburg, Washington Nationals, Tommy John, Blah Blah Blah...everyone else is saying it, so why can’t I? Strasburg should be owned in all keeper leagues and mixed leagues in which owners want to get 3-5 starts out of him. Houston Astros’ second basemen, Jose Altuve, went 3-for-5 with a double, three runs scored and notched his first big league stolen base. Down On The Farm: St. Louis Cardinals prospect, Tyler Lyons of Palm Beach in the Class A-Advanced Florida State League, dished his first ever no-hitter, including eight strikeouts in seven innings. Lyons, who was a two-out walk in the fourth inning away from a perfect outing, threw the first no-hitter in Palm Beach’s nine year history. In his last four trips to the hill, Matt Moore of the Durham Bulls is 3-0, with a 1.09 ERA and a 39:5 K:BB. Jonathan Papelbon (24), Craig Kimbrel (35), Huston Street (29) and Sergio Santos (23) each earned saves last night. Pitching duels I will be watching today: Shaun Marcum vs. Edwin Jackson, James McDonald vs. Madison Bumgarner and Doug Fister vs. Justin Masterson.

 Mike Stanton Derek Lee’s debut in the Steel City began with a bang. The newly acquired first basemen went 2-for-4 with two moon shots (13,14), three runs batted in and two runs scored. Dan Uggla (21,22), Asdrubal Cabrera (18,19) and Rick Ankiel (4,5) also smacked two home runs each last evening. Not only did Mike Stanton throw out Jose Reyes at the plate, he also hit a Grand Salami in the top of the tenth to guide the Marlins to a 7-3 victory over the Mets. At just twenty-three years of age, Los Angeles Dodger Clayton Kershaw continues to solidify his standing as one of the best young pitchers in Major League Baseball. The former seventh overall pick dished his fifth straight quality start last evening, albeit against the Padres, to earn the win and improve to 13-4 on the season. Last night’s victory was Kershaw’s fourth complete game victory of the 2011 season. CC Sabathia (16-5) earned his sixteenth win in a 3-2 Yankees over Jake Peavy and the White Sox. If I set the over/under on Sabathia wins at 22.5 for the season, which side would you take? Hope you picked up Jarrod Saltalamacchia to replace Brian McCann on your squad last week. Salty, in the midst of a nine game hitting streak, went 2-for-4 with a round tripper, a double, two RBIs and two runs scored. Since being traded to the Philadelphia Phillies, Hunter Pence is just 3-for-14 with a double, one RBI and three runs scored. The newest Cleveland Indian, Ubaldo Jimenez, is slated to make his first start in the American League this Friday, August 5th in Texas against one of the hottest pitchers in the majors, Derek Holland. Tune in. In his return to the Arkansas Travelers, Mike Trout went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored. Trout was also caught stealing in his return to Double-A. Bad news for the Boston Red Sox: Clay Buchholz could miss the remainder of 2011 with a stress fracture in his back. Hope that Erik Bedard trade works out for them. JJ Putz (25), Ryan Madson (19), Mariano Rivera (28), Carlos Marmol (21) and Drew Storen (27) each earned saves last night. Some fantastic pitching duels I’m looking forward to today: Ricky Romero vs. David Price, Jaime Garcia vs. Shaun Marcum, Kyle Kendrick vs. Aaron Cook and Daniel Hudson vs. Tim Lincecum Written by Alan Harrison exclusively for TheFantasyFix.com Follow The Fantasy Fix on Twitter @thefantasyfix or for Free Fantasy Sports Advice use our Quick Fix to get help with your team Tags: The Fantasy Fix, Fantasy Baseball Daily News, 2011 Fantasy Baseball Tips, 2011 Fantasy Baseball Advice, The Daily Fix 2011 Fantasy Baseball Daily Fix: The Mariners Should Be Demoted & Trade Deadline Nonsense 07/26/2011
 Quad-A All-Star, Chris Davis Welcome Back: With Adrian Beltre hitting the DL, the Texas Rangers recalled Quad-A first basemen, Chris Davis. The Rangers proceeded to put up 20 runs on 27 hits against the Twins, and to no surprise, Davis finished 0-for-6. Mike Napoli went 4-for-5 with a walk and three runs scored in the Rangers’ 20-6 victory. Napoli is now hitting .444 in the month of July. With the aforementioned Beltre on the DL, you may want to add the following players to man the hot corner until he returns: Emilio Bonifacio (63% owned Y!), Edwin Encarnacion (19% Y!), Daniel Murphy (62% Y!), Danny Valencia (29% Y!), Eduardo Nunez (9% Y!) and Chase Headley (28% Y!). Bryce Harper went 2-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and scored a run in a 13-2 win last night for AA Harrisburg over the Bowie Baysox. The Seattle Mariners have extended their losing streak to 16 games. The Mariners are batting a horrific .226 as a team. One word: Contraction. Ian Kinsler and Carlos Lee each blasted a moon shot and knocked in four runs last night. The San Diego Padres lead the MLB in stolen bases with 110, the Cubs are last with just 35 swipes. As the MLB trade deadline approaches, the one rumor that I actually liked hearing was Gio Gonzalez to the Yankees. Are the rich going to get richer? The Phillies relievers already sport a league low three blown saves in 2011, yet Joel Sherman of the New York Post reported yesterday on Twitter that the Fightin’ Phils are “aggressively pursuing” Heath Bell and Mike Adams of the Padres. All this Colby Rasmus trade speculation has caused him to smack two long balls in the past two games. Joel Hanrahan (29), Mitchell Boggs (4), Jason Isringhausen (3), Heath Bell (29) each earned saves last night. Pitching duels I’m looking forward to today: TIm Lincecum vs. Vance Worley and Jhoulys Chacin vs. Clayton Kershaw.

 Desmond Jennings Tampa Bay Rays' outfielder Desmond Jennings was recalled from Triple-A Durham. Analysts all over the internet are wondering if this move means B.J. Upton could be on the move. In a game of who's the worst pitcher, Phil Hughes and Trevor Cahill gave up a combined 17 runs. If you think that Hughes' 7 earned runs in 4.1 innings was bad, think again. Cahill lasted 2 innings and gave up 10 runs. It was in 3rd inning where the damage was done, starting off with a 3-run Nick Swisher bomb and finishing with a Mark Teixeira grandy-salami. The Yanks won 17-7. In another wallop, Texas crushed Toronto 12-2, almost solely behind Nelson Cruz's 8 RBI's. Cruz went 4-4 with 4 runs and hit his 22nd dinger. The only 2 runs scored by Toronto were by JP Arencibia's 2 solo shots, his 13th and 14th of the year. Carlos Gonzalez hit the 15-day DL with a strained right wrist. The Rockies called up Eric Young, Jr. to replace him. Dexter Fowler fell a home run short of a cycle in the Rockies win over the Diamondbacks last night. He added an RBI and scored twice in the contest. At just 14% owned in Y! leagues, Fowler looks to be a solid short-term add for those looking to replace CarGo. Vernon Wells hit a grand slam in the 9th, the first by an Angel in almost a year. Rookie phenom, Mike Trout, went 2-4 with 2 runs and recorded his first stolen base. Aramis Ramirez keeps knocking em out of the park. He hit his 18th home run and so far has avoided the injury bug that has plagued him the last 2 years. With Stephen Drew out for the year, Willie Bloomquist looks to get regular time at Short Stop for the Diamondbacks. Position versatility plus potential speed makes this veteran an interesting option for those fantasy owners in need. Willie is currently owned in just 10% of Y! leagues. No surprise here, Cole Hamels was dominate yet again and ate the poor little Padres for breakfast. Hamels went 8 strong, allowed 1 run off 3 hits and K'd 10. Even with the Cy-Young like season Hamels is having, it was only the 2nd time he whiffed 10. Like I said in yesterday's Daily Fix, Albert Pujols has a lot of catching up to do in the 2nd half. I didn't necessarily mean he had to do it all yesterday. Pujols went 4-5 and hit his 2nd home run in as many days. He now has 4 home runs since the all-star break. Chris Carpenter wasn't spectacular (8IP,10H,4ER) but earned his 5th straight win against the Bucs. Jair Jurrjens didn't last long enough to get the win, but Craig Kimbrel did earn his league leading 31st save. Prado (10), Heyward (11), McCann (17) and Uggla (18) all homered. For the Reds, rookie shortstop Zack Cozart hit his 2nd home run. Can't believe I'm saying this, but, the pitching duel I'm most looking forward to watching today is Jaime Garcia vs. Kevin Correia. R.I.P. Amy Winehouse, who was found dead at the age of 27. Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison also passed at 27. Creepy.

Halladay yielded three earned runs on seven hits, while walking one and striking out one. The Phillie left early due to the heat, which exceeded 100 degrees, but according to team officials is expected to make his next start. The Pittsburgh Pirates are in first place. No punch-line here. On this day in 2009, Ian Kinsler of the Texas Rangers became the fifth player in Major League history to hit a leadoff and walkoff home run in the same game. Freddie Freeman blasted his 14th bomb of the 2011 season. Don’t be surprised if the 58% owned first basemen finishes 2011 batting .285 with 25 jacks and 90 runs batted in. Zack Greinke (11.99), Brandon Morrow (10.46) and Clayton Kershaw (10.13) are the only three starting pitchers to average more than 10 K/9 with a minimum of 80 IP. Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus released his “Midseason Top 50 Prospects” yesterday. The top five include Bryce Harper, Matt Moore, Julio Teheran, Shelby Miller and Jurickson Profar. The big surprise here, is that Matt Moore has been anointed the top pitching prospect on the farm. Bryce Harper went 0-for-3 last night with a walk for AA Harrisburg. He is now batting .194 in Double-A. Emilio Bonifacio swiped his 18th bag of the season last night. With eligibility at 3B, SS and OF in Yahoo! leagues, the 58% owned Marlin is a nice add for runs, stolen bases and average (for now). David Hernandez (9), Craig Kimbrel (29), Drew Storen (25), Mariano Rivera (24), Leo Nunez (27), Joel Hanrahan (27) and Vinnie Pestano (2) each earned saves last night. The Yahoo! default trading deadline of August 14th is quickly approaching. Don’t take the wait-and-see approach, make some aggressive moves to raise a flag this year or stack keepers for 2012. You may still have a chance to buy stock of Dan Uggla. He is in the midst of a 10-game hit streak in which his average has sky rocketed from .178 to .189.

 Mike Trout Derek Jeter's pursuit to 3,000 will have to wait at least another day as heavy rain postponed the Tampa Bay game. Nineteen year-old Mike Trout, the top prospect in baseball, was promoted to the Big Show for last night’s Angels game. The youngster went 0-for-3 at the plate, but made an incredible running catch in his Major League debut. Trout should be owned in all formats. Rickie Weeks smacked an inside-the-park home run last night, his 17th of the season. Not sure those would count for his upcoming appearance in the Home Run Derby during the All-Star Game. Big Surprise: David O’Brien of the AJC is reporting that Chipper Jones is considering missing the All-Star Game due to a right knee injury. Travis Snider is doing all he can to prove he belongs on the Blue Jays roster. Friday night certainly helped his case going 3-5 with a home run 5 RBI. Since rejoining the team on July 4th, Snider is 9-22. Rajai Davis swiped his 23rd & 24th bag of the season. Aramis Ramirez tear continues, hitting his 11th home run in the past 15 games. Through that run he is batting .381 with 17 RBI. We didn't even have to wait until after the All-Star Break for Hanley Ramirez to come around. He went 3-3, a home run and 3 RBI. Zach Britton, maybe you should give a call to Madison Bumgarner or Jaime Garcia and see how they coped with some of the worst performances ever. Boston demolished Britton, as he only lasted 2/3 of an inning and gave up 7 earned runs. Josh Beckett left the Red Sox-Orioles game early for precautionary reasons with an apparent left knee injury. Scott Sizemore hit his 3rd home run in the last 6 games. Javy Guerra (3), David Hernandez (7), Jose Valverde (23), Mat Capps (14), Leo Nunez (24), Joel Hanrahan (26) and Huston Street (25) each earned saves last night. The pitching duels I’m looking forward to watching tomorrow: Tommy Hanson @ Cliff Lee, David Price @ AJ Burnett, Daniel Hudson @ Chris Carpenter and Johnny Cueto @ Shawn Marcum.

The Nationals’ prospect went 2-for-3 with a run scored and a walk in his debut and the 8-1 Harrisburg victory. If you listened to our Sit Em/Start Em expert James Bryce, you rode Joel Pineiro to his 5-1 victory over the Tigers last night. His one strikeout, three walk performance wasn’t his best of the season, but he got the win with minimal damage to your ERA and WHIP. Be sure to check out the rest of James’ picks here. Keep an eye on the status of Troy Tulowitzki, who left last night’s game with tightness in his right quad. Brian Duensing (6-7) outdueled David Price, as the Twins beat up the Rays, 7-0. Duensing twirled a complete game six-hitter, striking out seven but yielded four walks. Those familiar with Duensing's advanced metrics knew this was coming, and know there should be more games like this to come. 48% owned Daniel Murphy of the Mets is batting .388 with 13 RBIs over the last two weeks and is eligible at 1B, 2B, 3B and OF in Y! leagues. Mark Reynolds (19,20) and Freddie Freeman (10,11) each blasted two fireworks into the stands to celebrate this nation’s independence. Travis Snider produced three doubles and drove in a run in his return to the Blue Jays against the BoSox. This post-hype outfielder is owned in just 19% of Y! leagues. Edwin Jackson’s .341 BABIP leads us to believe that his luck is due to improve in the near future. Additionally, with a 3.13 FIP, Jackson may be a starter to target in the second half. Balk Off: Kansas City Royals’ All-Star Aaron Crow committed a balk that scored A.J. Pierzynski in the bottom of the ninth to lead the White Sox to a 5-4 victory. This just in: Michael Bourn is fast as hell! He has 35 stolen bases in 39 chances. Francisco Rodriguez (21), Craig Kimbrel (25), Chris Perez (20), Fernando Salas (15), Antonio Bastardo (5), Heath Bell (25), David Hernandez (5), Brandon League (23), Joel Hanrahan (25) and Frank Francisco (10) each earned saves last night. The Texas Rangers have agreed to pay a record $5 million bonus to 16 year-old Nomar Mazara of the Domincan Republic. Yes, 16. In need of short term stolen bases? Emilio Bonafacio has swiped six in the past two weeks while batting .288 for the Florida Marlins and can be used at 3B, SS and OF. A lot of great pitching duels on tap for today: James Shields vs. Scott Baker, Felix Hernandez vs. Trevor Cahill, Tim Stauffer vs. Matt Cain and CC Sabtahia vs. Carlos Carrasco Written by Alan Harrison exclusively for TheFantasyFix.com Follow The Fantasy Fix on Twitter @thefantasyfix or for Free Fantasy Sports Advice use our Quick Fix to get help with your team Tags: The Fantasy Fix, Fantasy Baseball Daily News, 2011 Fantasy Baseball Tips, 2011 Fantasy Baseball Advice, The Daily Fix, Bryce Harper, Promotion, Brian Duensing, Nomar Mazara, Edwin Jackson, Aaron Crow, Travis Snider, Freddie Freeman  Phil Hughes According to multiple sources, including Buster Olney, Phil Hughes’ velocity peaked at about 94 mph today, including reaching 93 in the sixth inning of a rehab start for Double-A Trenton. Hughes dished six and a third innings of three hit ball, issued two walks and fanned eight. Time to troll the waiver wire, he’s available in 64% of Y! leagues. On this day in 1995, Eddie Murray became the 20th player in MLB history to collect his 3,000th hit. Ricky Nolasco twirled a complete-game shutout, issuing two walks and striking out three in a Marlins 3-2 victory over the Athletics. There may be more of this Ricky on the way. Last July, Nolasco led all MLB pitchers by going 5-1 with 47 strikeout in six trips to the hill. Breaking News: Hanley Ramirez blasted a two-run moon shot, his fifth on the season, and raised his batting average to .216. Watch Out! Our friends at Hit Tracker tell us that Prince Fielder’s 486 foot moon shot on April 29th is still the longest homer of 2011 to date. Cleveland Indians’ prospect, Jason Kipnis, slugged two homers last night for Triple-A Columbus. Kipnis is now batting .295 on the season with eleven bombs. Jacoby Ellsbury and Brett Gardner have each been caught stealing ten times in 2011. Ryan Braun went 3-for-4, knocked in a run (60th) and swiped a bag (19th) in a 5-2 Brewers loss to the Yanks in the Bronx. Turn Two: Torii Hunter has grounded into a league leading 18 double plays. Since May 1st, Jordan Zimmerman of the Nationals has eleven consecutive quality starts, only one in which he allowed more than two earned runs. Zimmerman is still available in 29% of Y! leagues. Miguel Cabrera (18,19) and Ian Kinsler (10,11) each smacked two out of the park last night. Sergio Santos (16), Neftali Feliz (16), Frank Francisco (9), Jordan Walden (18), Antonio Bastardo (3), Mariano Rivera (21), Craig Kimbrel (23), Heath Bell (23), Matt Capps (13), Francisco Cordero (16) each earned saves last night.
