FANTASY BASEBALL – June Statistical Outliers: Wil Myers
Garion Thorne is joined by Jim Sannes of numberFire to break down some statistical outliers from the month of June with Wil Myers at the forefront.
FANTASY BASEBALL – Week 12 Waiver Wire Adds/Avoids
Garion Thorne is joined by Adam Aizer, host of CBS’ “Fantasy Sports Today Podcast”, to dig into the upcoming Week 12 waiver wire and determine which flavors of the month are actually worth a roster spot. Has Zach Davies found the magic in Milwaukee? Will Danny Duffy work consistently deep enough into games to have an impact? Is it time to actually start believing in CC Sabathia? What does a quick move to the top of the order mean for 2013 1st rounder Tim Anderson in Chicago? Is a hot two weeks enough to consider Derek Norris at the weak catcher position? Finally, what does one make of James Paxton?
FANTASY BASEBALL – What’s Wrong With Dallas Keuchel?
Garion Thorne explores both the 2015 and 2016 seasons of Houston’s Dallas Keuchel to try and determine where the left-hander has gone wrong this year. Are the reigning Cy Young winner’s advanced metrics in line? Why have opposing hitters had far more success versus Keuchel’s once devastating sinker? Also, why does it seem like its always just one bad inning with the Astro? The answers to these questions and more on “The Rotation: Analytics Overload”.
FANTASY BASEBALL – Week 11 Waiver Wire Adds/Avoids
Garion Thorne is joined on “The Rotation: Going Deep” by Jim Sannes of numberFire to explore the deep-end of the Week 11 waiver wire as Week 1o of the Fantasy Baseball Season comes to a close. Hyun Soo Kim has been a contact machine in Baltimore – can we continue to ignore his place atop such a prosperous Oriole lineup? Is Tommy Joseph’s small sample power surge an aberration or is he to be trusted? Will Brad Miller’s short stop eligibility be as enticing when Logan Forsythe returns in Tampa Bay? Finally, has Matt Adams locked down an everyday spot with the Cardinals?
FANTASY BASEBALL – Is it Time to Trust Marco Estrada?
Garion Thorne takes a deeper look into the past season and a half for Marco Estrada and tries to see if we should be believing in the raw numbers or the far more negative advanced statistics. Could it be possible for the Blue Jay to keep up his current success? How are Estrada’s extreme fly ball tendencies actually helping his recent form? Also, has the veteran right-hander finally found another pitch to pair with his dominant change-up? All that and more on this episode of “The Rotation: Analytics Overload”.

FANTASY BASEBALL – What’s Wrong With David Price?
Garion Thorne attempts to make sense of David Price’s horrendous start to 2016 by, oddly enough, looking for clues in the one positive aspect of his season so far: his strikeout total. What does Price’s ability to negate opponent contact in the strike zone say about his outlier BABIP and Hard%? Is it possible Price is too accurate?
