Most fantasy baseball managers know how to evaluate the standard statistics like ERA and WHIP. At BaseballHQ.com, we emphasize skills. In the spirit of looking for new indicators, this article explores the impact of low frequency events like wild pitches, balks, hit batters, SB allowed, and intentional walks on elite pitchers' performance.

[FREE] As the Astros move to the AL West in 2013, fantasy owners in AL-only leagues will want to familiarize themselves with the Houston roster. Despite back-to-back 100-plus loss seasons, there are players of fanalytic interest.

We all "know" that hitters do better in warm weather and pitchers do better in cold weather. But is this really true? Can this be demonstrated by examining how stats vary over the course of a season? And if it is true, what are the implications for managing our fantasy rosters?

Each year some players have hot starts, and during the first few weeks of free agent bidding/waiver pickups we have to make decisions about how aggressively to chase these players. At Baseball HQ we consistently counsel owners to have patience and not make decisions on small sample sizes. This article focuses on potential free agents who had a "hot start" in one of the 5x5 offensive categories during the 2009-2011 seasons, and examines the results of investments in those free agents.

Teams that win fantasy titles often have players on their rosters that deliver more value than either their draft round or their auction price would predict. Often these are players who have breakouts in one or more scoring categories that weren't anticipated. Three players who exceeded expectations in SBs last year were Emilio Bonafacio (SS, MIA), Jason Bourgeois (OF, HOU), and Ben Revere (OF, MIN). We can target players in drafts who have a possibility of returning significant profit in the SB category by developing a profile of players who have had a SB breakout in the past.
