Clone Wars: Joel Pineiro and Brandon WebbDecember 14, 2009Another pitcher learns that keeping the ball on the ground makes all the difference in the world. Clone Wars: Jason Bay and Adam DunnDecember 07, 2009In 2009 these power hitters showed what can be done with three true outcomes. Clone Wars: John Lackey and Jason HammelNovember 30, 2009John Lackey is the prime pitching free agent this year, but how much better than a later pick like Jason Hammel is he for your fantasy team? Clone Wars: Jonathan Sanchez and Clayton KershawNovember 16, 2009Whenever one of these two lefties pitch there is almost always someone on base. Clone Wars: Ryan Zimmerman and Evan LongoriaNovember 09, 2009These pair of third basemen are both coming off all-star seasons, and at 24 and 25 there is definitely more to come. Clone Wars: Jon Lester and CC SabathiaOctober 26, 2009East Coast lefties with a chance to finish in Top Five in AL Cy Young voting. Clone Wars: Chone Figgins and Denard SpanOctober 19, 2009Denard Span does not have the positional flexibility of the pre-2009 Chone Figgins, but there are some striking similarities and possible advantages to Span. Why the Red Sox lost to the AngelsOctober 12, 2009The fact of a short series is that anything can happen. Why the Red Sox will beat the AngelsOctober 08, 2009The Red Sox have dominated this playoff matchup, and 2009 doesn't look like the year that will end. Clone Wars: Javier Vazquez and Matt CainOctober 05, 2009The NL has revived Javier Vazquez, while Matt Cain battled staff ace Tim Lincecum for Giants' ace status. Clone Wars: Chase Utley and Ben ZobristSeptember 28, 2009Is Chase Utley really all alone as the No. 1 second baseman? There have been many improved second basemen, but perhaps Ben Zobrist has been the biggest surprise. Clone Wars: Zack Greinke and Tim LincecumSeptember 21, 2009Here are your prospective Cy Young winners for 2009. How do they stack up against each other though? Clone Wars: Adam Lind and Kendry MoralesSeptember 14, 2009Plenty of outfielders and first basemen have around 30 homers this year, but what about these new comers to the group. Clone Wars: Aaron Hill and Justin Morneau???September 08, 2009This was a comparison no one ever saw, but with an extreme jump in homers Aaron Hill has matched Justin Morneau in four of the five fantasy categories. Clone Wars: Raul Ibanez and Andre EthierAugust 30, 2009The relocation of Raul Ibanez to Philadelphia seemed to launch him into a completely new level of play while Andre Ethier also took off in Los Angeles this year. Clone Wars: Gavin Floyd and John DanksAugust 24, 2009Gavin Floyd was very lucky in 2008 with an xFIP almost a run above his ERA. His teammate John Danks looked ready to breakout this year. Why have they looked like clones so far? Clone Wars: Prince Fielder and Justin MorneauAugust 10, 2009They couldn't look less alike, but 2009 has been a mirror season for these power first basemen. Clone Wars: Michael Young and Pablo SandovalAugust 03, 2009These two third basemen are topping .900 OPS so far this year, but once Michael Young loses short stop next year will they be equal value? Clone Wars: J.A. Happ and Zach DukeJuly 20, 2009Much like Zach Duke in 2005, J.A. Happ has had a great first 80 plus innings. Will they be similar in his next 80? Clone Wars: Second half bargainsJuly 13, 2009Troy Patterson picks his players to target as bargains for the second half. Clone Wars: Ian Stewart and Mark ReynoldsJuly 08, 2009Ian Stewart has some early signs he might become the next Mark Reynolds and with second base eligibility perhaps a cheap Chase Utley for 2010. Clone Wars: Jacoby Ellsbury and Juan PierreJune 29, 2009Unable to increase his walk rate Jacoby Ellsbury is dangerously close to being the next Juan Pierre. Clone Wars: Pitchers due to fallJune 22, 2009If you trust Zach Duke or Nick Blackburn on your staff don't say we didn't warn you. | ||||
