Fantasy Baseball Sleepers 2012: Pedro Alvarez and Top Under-the-Radar Sluggers

Fantasy baseball champions swing for the fences with every single selection.The difference between the champ and the owner in last place: late-round picks.  Here are four super sleeper sluggers who will give you more than enough bang for your buck.  4. Mat Gamel (3B, Milwaukee Brewers) Gamel has yet to spend a full season in the big leagues, but don’t let that stop you from spending a late-round pick on the Brewer.  He isn’t a great contact hitter, but Gamel boasts the power to drive in plenty of runs for your team.  3. Pedro Alvarez (3B, Pittsburgh Pirates) Alvarez is ready to blow up.  Last season, the Pirates third baseman only batted .191, so he’ll most likely drop further in your draft than he should.  Despite his struggles, his immense talent is through the roof, making him well worth the risk. 2. Chris Carter (1B, Oakland A’s) Carter will play the ...




Mark Buehrle Forced to Move Due to Absurd Pitbull Ban

Mark Buehrle has a dream. A dream that his four little dogs will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the ferocity of their appearance but by the content of their tameness. A 1989 pitbull ban in Miami-Dade County forced Buehrle to distance himself from the Miami Marlins ballpark in order to legally keep one of his dog. According to the Miami Herald, Buehrle is an avid dog lover and wouldn’t even fathom parting with his pitbull Slater over the ban. The All-Star ace even said that if there hadn’t been a place for him and his family to move that permitted the pitbull, he wouldn’t have signed in Miami. Luckily for the Marlins, Broward County shares his love for canines. Buehrle, one of many dog owners who admitted that they hoped Michael Vick would get hurt, complained about the absurd law saying (via ...




MLB Rule 5 Draft: Boston Red Sox Get Carl Crawford, New York Yankees Get Even

A whole new chapter was added to the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox bitter rivalry Thursday. The Red Sox signed all-star outfielder Carl Crawford to a 142 million dollar deal forcing the Yankees to make a move. Instead of just signing Cliff Lee, Brian Cashman came up with an ingenious plan. Signing Lee would only improve the Yankees.  Cashman wanted to make a move that would improve the Yankees and hurt the Red Sox at the same time. Cashman's response: drafting Daniel Turpen in the MLB's Rule Five Draft. The rivalry of rivalries just got taken to a whole new level. Turpen is a 6'4" Goliath, a 215 pound tank that can mow down batters at the plate like a John Deer. He humbly boasts a fast ball that accelerates faster than a Maxximus G-Force at 94 miles per hour. Don't blink. Last season, he absolutely shut down opposing batters.  No one could touch him as he produced a 4.3 ERA. Nolan ...
