A quick look at last week's Fantasy Baseball top performing and least owned players on the waiver wire. Edwin Jackson's insane no-hitter.

Carlos Quentin's four dingers. Brandon Morrow & Jhoulys Chacin are strikeout machines. R.A. Dickey's 6th straight.

Is Jamie Moyer really father-time in disguise?

Can they really keep it up for another week? Check out who's a Must or a Bust.

July is just around the corner and while baseball fans are gearing up for the All-Star game, fantasy owners are looking at who to buy and sell for the season's second half. Using Yahoo!'s rankings based on the last month's worth of numbers, let's look at June's hottest hitters and figure out who is for real.

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 Mariners trade for Russell Branyan is a valuable lesson for all fantasy owners: when you are out of contention, don’t start trading your future for the present, no matter who it is. If you are out of the hunt, realize that and start planning for next year.

It's almost unbelievable to comprehend, but the Boston Red Sox have suffered yet another injury—their third in two days, in fact.

These days fantasy baseball is loaded with crazy stats for everything you could possibly think of, from hits to Linear Weights Run Value .

It’s time to look at the potential two-start options for the upcoming fantasy week.  If I have someone rated as a three, four or five-star option, they are someone I would definitely use.  A two-star option is someone who is borderline, but I’d strongly lean against it unless I have no other options.  The one-star opti

Here’s a look at the unheralded players who played well yesterday.

Is Prince Fielder finally heating up?  Will A.J. Burnett ever turn things around?  Just how good is David Price?  Let’s look at these stories and all the rest from yesterday’s games:

This article should be called Tulowitzki Two for obvious reasons. For starters, one of the top three second baseman just landed on the DL with a broken foot.

Second, this position, like shortstop, has very few elite players on top, and then a tremendous drop-off in talent and statistical production. It’s important to remember that replacing this kind of player for the long run is a difficult task.

So let’s approach this a little differently than we did with Tulo because it doesn’t sound like Pedroia will be out as long.
