Since our last installment there have been a string of huge injuries. Marlins slugger and only legitimate bat Giancarlo Stanton suffered a Grade 2 hamstring strain and is expected to miss at least a month of action. Sure he started out the season slow but he was showing signs of breaking through. In his last six games he hit .296 with three homers and eight RBIs.

While we’re still in the first month of a long Fantasy Baseball season, our patience is starting to wear thin with several players on whom we spent relatively high draft picks.

Ah, the fantasy baseball rookie -- his siren song is a sweet one that many listen to. Baseball rookies hold so much promise, like a gift under the Christmas tree, next to several ones you already unwrapped. “This gift,” you think, “still has a chance to be better than any of these other gifts we’ve already seen.”
