Top-tier talents such as Chase Utley (86 games), Dustin Pedroia (123), Ian Kinsler (150) and Rickie Weeks (204) have all missed significant time due to injury over the last four seasons. Heck, even the likes of Brian Roberts, Aaron Hill, Freddy Sanchez and Carlos Guillen have missed time in recent seasons. The only stalwart?

The term Batting Average on Balls In Play (BABIP) has become one of the most popular stats among fantasy managers in recent years. To put it simply, BABIP measures the number of batted balls that fall safely for a hit (excluding home runs). According to The Hardball Times Glossary, the exact formula for BABIP is: (H-HR)/(AB-K-HR+SF). The major league average for BABIP is usually around .300. Last year it was .299.

RT @RyanDivish: @StoneLarry with the confirm that Zunino is being called up. Wow. Definitely a little surprised. He was preparing the CWS a year ago RT @ajcbraves: #Braves Gattis in his past 17 games: 13-for-41 (.371) with 1 double, 7 homers, 17 RBIs, 5 walks, 8 strikeouts, .408 OBP, .854 slugging% RT @JamesWagnerWP: RT @AdamKilgoreWP Scott Boras says Bryce Harper had "no operative procedures" during his visit to Dr. James Andrews http://t.co/wQlleq0aZ2 If Ian Stewart prefers to be released, he'd have a better chance by offering to forgo remaining $1.3m salary for '13. http://t.co/RVz5c7K5EM
Both NFBC & ESPN have Hishashi Iwakuma as the #1 SP in fantasy baseball (5x5): 7 wins, 1.79 ERA, 0.82 WHIP & 87 K's in 95.1 IP #mindblown Thanks to @williamfleitch for having me on the podcast! We'll Tweet out the links when it's posted... \m/
