  • The Wild Weekend that was the NFL Draft

    Editor’s note: The following article is not written by RotoScoop’s administrator, Dalton Del Don. It is written by Jeff Chudnofsky, who will be handling the NFL Draft coverage. I never thought that Houston’s first pick would come down to a pure money issue. I don’t buy Charlie “Why am I still employed” Casserly’s excuse that…

  • Baseball News & Notes

    With April in the books, let’s look at some highlights throughout Major League Baseball so far: Chris Shelton reached nine home runs faster than anyone in Major League history, and Albert Pujols set an April record with 14 homers. Eric Chavez credits his best-ever start to a season, .301/.392/.687, to eating lots and lots of…

  • The Roving Thoughts of a Fantasy Insomniac

    I’m as big of a Billy Beane fan that you’ll find, but two of his biggest recent acquisitions, Jason Kendall and Esteban Loaiza, are looking pretty terrible. Expensive too. Don’t look now, but Corey Patterson is all of a sudden a valuable fantasy commodity. Put a fork in Oliver Perez; he’s done. Rich Harden is…

  • Market Watch

    SELL-HIGH Tom Glavine: Glavine has been pitching well since the All-Star break of last year. He could maintain a sub-3.75 ERA all year and pick up a solid amount of wins. His current strikeout rate, however, doesn’t figure to last. He’s striking out 8.4 batters per nine innings this year; the last two years, it’s…

  • NFL Draft Preview: Sleepers

    Editor’s note: The following article is not written by RotoScoop’s administrator, Dalton Del Don. It is written by Jeff Chudnofsky, who will be handling the NFL Draft coverage. We are all familiar with the publicized group of likely first round picks, but there are players flying under the radar who will make impacts in the…

  • NFL Draft Preview: Picks 21-32

    Editor’s note: The following article is not written by RotoScoop’s administrator, Dalton Del Don. It is written by Jeff Chudnofsky, who will be handling the NFL Draft coverage. 21. New England Patriots– It was bound to happen. Not every player you plug in will win you championships. In the modern NFL, it is too difficult…

  • Delmon Young and Restless

    According to MLB.com, Devil Rays top prospect Delmon Young is facing a potentially lengthy suspension after throwing his bat at an umpire’s chest during Wednesday night’s game at Pawtucket. Young is the consensus No.1 prospect in all of baseball. Apparently, he didn’t agree with a third strike call, stayed in the batter’s box and glared…

  • Player Spotlight: Bronson Arroyo

    The man who A-Rod and Tim McCarver think is named Brandon is off to a tremendous start. After eight innings of one-hit ball on Wednesday, he currently stands with a 2.34 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and a 30/7 K/BB ratio. Yes, the National League is treating him well. Arroyo was set to open the year out…

  • Nash to win MVP

    According to an anonymous league source, Steve Nash will be named the NBA’s Most Valuable Player for the second straight season. This should come as absolutely no surprise, as he seemed to be the media’s consensus choice. That doesn’t mean it’s the right choice. The fact that once again writers got an award voting wrong…

  • NFL Draft Preview: Picks 11-20

    Editor’s note: The following article is not written by RotoScoop’s administrator, Dalton Del Don. It is written by Jeff Chudnofsky, who will be handling the NFL Draft coverage. 11. St. Louis Rams– The Rams are as likely as any team to trade down at this spot, as a QB starved team might take a stab…

  • NFL Draft Preview: Picks 1-10

    Editor’s note: The following article is not written by RotoScoop’s administrator, Dalton Del Don. It is written by Jeff Chudnofsky, who will be handling the NFL Draft coverage. 1. Houston Texans– Don’t buy into the recent hype of Houston selecting Mario Williams or Vince Young. As Saturday grows closer, expect more rumors to swirl regarding…

  • Balance – An Overrated Commodity

    Editor’s note: The following article is not written by RotoScoop’s administrator, Dalton Del Don. It is written by Robby Wellington, who will be a regular contributor to the site. With the third week of the year in the books and the fantasy waiver wire bereft of any real talent, owners begin the quest to improve…

  • Cuba’s Finest

    Jose Contreras followed up a 5.50 ERA in 2004 with a 7.04 spring training in 2005. He was then rather unimpressive through July; since then, he’s been baseball’s best pitcher. In his last 15 games started in the regular season, Contreras is 12-1 and winner of 11 straight. His ERA stands at a minuscule 1.92…

  • NBA Playoff Preview (Round 1)

    WESTERN CONFERENCE San Antonio (1) vs. Sacramento (8) The Kings are a much better team now with Artest in the fold, but still not quite in the Spurs’ league. The Spurs are ripe for the taking this year, and the Kings do have potential, but Artest finished the year shooting 9 for 35 because of…

  • MVP Race

    10. Allen Iverson According to the stats, this is actually Iverson’s best campaign to date. His 33 PPG would be more recognized if not for Kobe. He is even shooting nearly 45 percent. The 7.4 dimes with 2 steals per is pretty impressive. The Sixers should be better, however, and that perception of underachievement hurts…

  • Penny for my thoughts

    It’s time for everyone to start taking Brad Penny seriously. Sure, maybe I’m patting myself on the back a bit; after all, I had Penny rated higher than just about any other ranking system out there going into the season. My rather high-ranking looks awfully good now, but I’ve certainly had my misses as well…

  • More buy-low candidates

    This time around I’ll give you some pitchers who are off to slow starts. It’s only a matter of time before they turn it around, so go after these guys while their value is relatively low. Once again, I’m leaving off the overly obvious names, such as Johan, Peavy and Carlos Zambrano. Andy Pettitte: He…

  • Buyer’s Market

    All of these players are off to painfully slow starts. Take advantage of the situation and buy low. The quicker you act, the better, as some of these guys won’t ever have their values as low as they are now. I’m leaving the obvious names off this list; after all, you don’t need me to…

  • Early Surprises

    These guys are off to hot starts; some are for real, while others are not. The key is to decipher the ones that are here to stay from the ones bound to fade. Chris Shelton: He just hit his seventh bomb and is batting over .500. Shelton, who almost began the year hitting eighth, is…

  • Picks for 2006

    AL MVP: Vladimir Guerrero The contenders: Hafner could make a strong push, but DH may ultimately hold back enough votes. Same goes for Big Papi, whose team will be edged out by the Angels anyway. Konerko could easily lead the league in RBI with Thome now in front of him, and it would surprise no…
