Fantasy Baseball

In Fantasy Baseball, you not only have to pay attention to stats, but you also have to keep tabs on how teams are playing. When it comes to fantasy numbers such as runs, RBIs, wins and saves, teammates are sometimes just as important as the player themselves.

Today let’s take a look at teams who have started off bad for a reason. You can sometimes mine gems from loser teams, but these teams will have fewer quality fantasy players than most other teams.

Recognizing The Losers

• Kansas City Royals - The Royals just suck. They’ve been bad for a long time and that won’t change this year. Despite a couple early season wins, they’ve now lost three games in a row to go back to there customary spot in the cellar of their division.
• Washington Nationals - Here’s another poor excuse for a franchise. Are they even trying to win these days? At least when they played in Montreal they had a built in excuse for losing. They now play in a big market and still can’t get the job done. Hope is lost already in Washington.
• San Francisco Giants - The big news in San Fran this season will be Barry Bonds’ chase of history. And with the way the team is playing, that could be the only news. The Giants lost a lot of talent and didn’t bring much talent in. Any halfway decent mathematician can tell you that’s not a recipe for success … especially for a team that wasn’t all that to begin with.
