Fantasy Baseball Insiders History Lesson: Lots of Runs, Bad Batting Average

I stumbled upon today's history lesson while projecting Rickie Weeks for next season. The Brewers' second baseman has been a frustrating player to own, landing on the DL six times in the last seven seasons...

2011 Fantasy Baseball Rankings: The Top 15 Second Basemen

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.

2011 Fantasy Projections, No. 52: Milwaukee Brewers’ Rickie Weeks: Draft With Caution

After failing to deliver a full season since his debut in 2005 due to injuries and general suckiness, Rickie Weeks finally broke out last season, posting a dynamic 112-run, 29-HR, 83-RBI, 11-SB, .269-BA line at the second base position. Atop a potent Milwaukee Brewers lineup, Weeks led the league in plate appearances (754), while only Albert Pujols and Mark Teixeira scored more runs than him. Among qualifying two-baggers, Weeks tied Robinson Cano for the lead in HRs, and only Cano and Dan Uggla posted more RBI. There are, however, some red flags. Weeks had the 11th highest strikeout rate in 2010 (28.3 percent), and his contact rate (75.0 percent) was 17th worst among qualified batters...

Fantasy Baseball Insiders Tonight 4/14: Ryan Theriot, Randy Wells Lead Cubs in Wild Game at Wrigley Field

Game No. 11 in our journey to score 162 games this baseball season featured the Brewers and Cubs in an exciting finish at Wrigley Field. Game No. 11 – Milwaukee Brewers vs. Chicago Cubs Randy Wells was the story of the first half of this game, striking out six batters through four, all against the Brewers’ one through three batters (Rickie Weeks, Corey Hart, Ryan Braun). With two outs in the fifth, Rickie Weeks worked a nine-pitch at-bat, forcing Wells to labor for the first time all day. After fouling off three pitches and running the count full, Weeks delivered the Brewers’ first runs of the day, whacking a two-run double into the left-field corner that tied the game...

Ticket Liquidator

Interest is peaking among those who seek cheap tickets to MLB games, especially the stadiums that fill up fast and sell out quick like Fenway Park seats, cheap Yankees baseball games and the big one in July; the 2011 MLB All-Star Game in Phoenix. Before that, though, don't forget to check out these seats at the College World Series 2011. As we head into spring, there are other sports hitting their high notes, including cheap games at the NBA finals, action in the octagon at a MMA Fight Night and other fight tickets including the 2011 boxing schedule.
