Deeper into May we go as week seven and inter league games are already on the schedule. Star pitchers should have the advantage in mixed league play as opposing lineups don't face their quality stuff regularly. Because most teams are playing a full slate of games you will see more pitchers than usual listed as two start pitchers on our weekly rankings, and that means it's time to load up for a big week in h ...

The first week of mixed league play offers a full weeks worth of games for each team in baseball and that means an extended list of two start pitchers. Toping the the pack this week are studs like Felix Hernandez, Josh Johnson, Tim Lincecum, Cliff Lee and David Price. While inter league play is fun, it's hard to know how things will shake out from a fantasy perspective when these squads face each other so l ...

While Nunez looks to have a firm grip on the ninth inning job in Florida, other questionable closers coming into this season ha ...

After a few down starts, Tim Linececum put it all together against the Mets and is now the all time strikeout leader in Giants history (29 games, passing Christy Mathewson) with 10 or more in a contest. Any time a player has passed all time greats and done so before 27 years of age, you can understand why they are one of today's greats. No surprise, Tim Lincecum is atop our list for national league two star ...
