The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don I’m targeting Jay Bruce this year. After hitting just .223 last season, some luster appears to have worn off. He won’t come dirt cheap or anything, but right now his ADP is 121.62 – making him the 38th outfielder off the board, behind guys like Jason Kubel, Michael Cuddyer and even…

The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don Robinson Cano rebounded from a poor 2008 campaign last season, posting a .320-25-103-85 line. He doesn’t take many walks, but his contact rate is consistently so good (.90 last year), it wouldn’t surprise if he continues to bat around .320 like he did in 2009. Because he doesn’t steal many bags,…

The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don Partially because of Joe Mauer’s ridiculously good season last year, Victor Martinez’s output has been somewhat overlooked, but not since Pudge Rodriguez and Mike Piazza were in their primes has a backstop coming off a .303-23-88-108 campaign not been unanimously ranked as the No. 1 fantasy C the following year. His…

The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don What do we make of Aaron Hill, Adam Lind and Ben Zobrist? They were probably the biggest contributors to winning fantasy titles last year when you consider how cheaply they cost. Not one screams fluke, but it’s also worth noting that each were considered good, not elite prospects. Of course, that…

Just for the hell of it, here are my predictions for Saturday night: H.O.R.S.E.: Kevin Durant Skills Challenge: Steve Nash Three-Point Contest: Stephen Curry Slam Dunk Contest: Gerald Wallace

The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don I’ve already let my feelings be known about Joey Votto deserving the No. 6 ranking as far as first basemen are concerned, and obviously Albert Pujols is No. 1, but where it really gets tricky is coming up with the 2-5 order, which pretty much unanimously consists of Ryan Howard, Prince…

The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don I’m not exactly going out on a limb saying I like Roy Halladay this season, and I’m guessing I also won’t be the only person to suggest a move from the AL to the NL will be beneficial. However, I’m here to argue he should be closer to the No. 1…

Why I’m Backing the Colts
By Dalton Del Don Immediately after the Championship games, I was convinced I was backing Indy in the Super Bowl. Of course, it’s never smart to overly rely on the last game played, and considering the Saints are a No. 1 seed that had the far better point differential throughout the season, I assumed the…

Terrible Article That Deserves Ridicule
By Dalton Del Don I’m obviously borrowing (stealing?) the now defunct FireJoeMorgan.com’s method here, but I’ll make it up to Mose Schrute by telling all of you to be sure to check out “Parks and Recreation,” every Thursday at 8:30 p.m. on NBC (seriously, it’s a great show). Anyway, without further ado, I give you…

Mock Draft
I know it’s baseball time, and I’ll have multiple “The Scoops” up this week, along with a different type of article (be on the lookout!) later Monday as well, but until then, here’s a fantasy football mock draft I was just in for you all to chew on in the meantime.
