Hawk Michaels — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 16:49:33 +0000

Tuesday – April 9

Andy Pettitte – NYY (59%)

@ Cle – Carlos Carrasco

Even at age 40, Pettitte can still throw the baseball effectively at the major league level. Having tossed 8 innings while allowing just 1 earned run in his season debut against the Boston Red Sox last week, Pettitte is a definite stream starter worthy SP in week 2.

Fantasy baseball starting pitchers are always a tricky bunch, and matchups typically play a bigger role in the final stat line that the starting pitcher’s name. With that in mind, each week we will look at SP stream starting pitchers who may be worth a pickup in your fantasy baseball league.

Thursday – April 4

AJ Griffin – Oakland – 37% – vs Sea

After posting an exceptional rookie season last year to the tune of a 7-1 record with a 3.06 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 15 starts, Griffin at just %% ownership in 12 team yahoo leagues seems strange to me. Feel free to role the dice here and add Griffin to your starting lineup this week, as he easily offers more upside than downside in this matchup.

Hawk Michaels — Sat, 02 Mar 2013 15:11:38 +0000

Any fantasy baseball manager who wants to win their league, needs to be clued in to the rookies who are poised to make an impact in the MLB during the 2013 season. This rookies and prospect list is tailored to rank the rookies and prospects who could potentially provide the greatest impact in fantasy baseball leagues during the 2013 season. For example, while Dylan Bundy could be ranked as a top 5 overall minor league prospect, he is not ranked as a top 5 fantasy baseball rookie prospect in this list because the probability of him making the greatest fantasy baseball impact during the 2013 season is not as likely when compared to other rookies who have a greater possibility of receiving playing time in the majors during the 2013 season.
