Now that we’re a few weeks in the season, I’m going to review the play of five players that either have exceeded achievements or underachieved. There will be a few shockers, so buckle up and get ready. John Buck- Let’s be honest: Nobody saw this coming! After having an abysmal season with the Miami Marlins, Buck has nine home runs and …

Fantasy in Five: Early season concerns
Now that the baseball season is officially weeks in, I’m going to write this week’s blog on people who have either impressed me or concern me so far.

Fantasy in Five: Outfield rankings part one
I’m going to do the outfield a little different for this segment. Since there are three positions (left, right, center field) and most leagues don’t follow that rule, I’ll do two blogs with the tope five on one following the other five next week. It makes everything easier and helps you out (you’re welcome). 1. Mike Trout- Another obvious choice. …

Fantasy in Five: Third baseman rankings
After various weeks of analyzing each position in the infield, Fantasy in Five finally gets to the hot corner.
