  • Weekly Notes 072817
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).

  • 39 Silent Killers of Your Fantasy Draft
    SPECIAL REPORT Copyright © 2018, The Shandler Company, LLC 39 Silent Killers of your Fantasy Draft ME: As you get ready for the upcoming fantasy baseball season, there is something you need to know. YOU: What? Who, me? Yes, you. No matter how long you've been playing this game, there are dozens of deliberate and subconscious pitfalls you've been stumbling into each year. I've been playing fantasy baseball for over 30 years, and frankly, sometimes I can't help myself but make the same mistakes over and over again, too. But these are not just random mistakes – they are silent draft killers – and they affect our ability to evaluate players and plan our rosters. In many cases, we don't even realize what we're doing wrong, but our success depends on it. So I thought you should know about them. Are you saying that I'm a crappy fantasy player? No, no. Unless you are winning every year, you are like most everyone else, and we all tend to get pulled in. But it's good to be aware of these silent killers so you can work to overcome them.
