Every Monday, I review my fantasy baseball rankings for the rest of the season. Use the top 250 however you want: to evaluate your own roster, monitor acquisitions, and consider trades. Below is a list of players moving up and down the rankings, with reasoning attached. Do you have a difference of opinion? That’s good….
You know how sometimes you hear a statistic that seems so outrageous that you have to dig into the details and verify it yourself? Well, Chris Cotillo dropped one of those last night when he tweeted this after the Red Sox’s 1-0 win in ten innings: Now let’s be clear, the Red Sox don’t always…
