2015 Stats: .211 BA, 4 R, 1 HR, 4 RBI, 0 SB (41 PA) At the moment, Ian Desmond is making headlines for all the wrong reasons, including a poor start on offense and a downright dreadful one on defense. To wit, the 29-year-old has made a ridiculous six errors in his first 10 games, two more than any other player. If you think Desmond is frustrated—and he is, telling The…

It was just two weeks, but for Chicago Cubs fans and fantasy owners, it felt longer than that. The Cubs called up prized third baseman Kris Bryant, and he’ll make his debut tonight against the San Diego Padres. Chances are, he’s not available in your league as some enterprising owner stashed him in a bench spot. If you’ve got him, slot him in your everyday lineup and prepare for the…

For the first time in more than two decades, Derek Jeter is not playing baseball this April. He hung up his spikes last season and so far has remained under the radar during the early days of his retirement. There’s a random photo here and there, but that’s all. On Wednesday, during a radio interview with SiriusXM’s Mad Dog Radio, Jeter admitted he doesn’t miss baseball at all right now….

Well, it seemed like a good idea. Mississippi State baseball team’s new adidas batting shirts revealed Thursday looked pretty nifty at first glance, especially with the “Viva Starkvegas” Las Vegas-style sign replica on the front. The shirt was covered with neon dots that created phrases associated with MSU baseball, such “Dudy Noble” and “Left Field Lounge.” And then near the bottom on the back of the shirt was the phrase…

The aces are back in action, which creates the perfect opportunity to rack up the points in Friday’s daily fantasy baseball contests. While there are certainly days when the list of probable starters is full of unrecognizable names and bottom-of-the-barrel options, that won’t be the case Friday, as you get to choose from a wide variety of top pitchers.  You can still find some value in your lineup if needed,…

STARKVILLE, Miss. — There’s a lot of damage control in Starkville after someone, maybe with too much time on their hands, decoded a hidden message in the baseball warmups worn by the men’s team. The shirts, provided by Adidas feature a version of the famous Las Vegas sign, but this one reads “VIVA STARKVEGAS Mississippi.” The rest of the shirt is covered with multi-colored dotted lettering spelling out words like…

Many thought the Mississippi State-Ole Miss rivalry, well over 100 years old, reached its height in last fall’s Egg Bowl, when both football teams were ranked for the first time since 1999.

Jose Reyes is 9 for 20 vs. Rays starter Chris Archer. (Getty) There will be days like this. With a limited schedule in the Major Leagues on Thursday, the options for your FanDuel fantasy lineup are also, obviously, smaller than usual. And my lineup below is for night games only and there are just 4 of those on the docket. So I needed to make a 9-player fantasy roster from…

Retired New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter apparently has no regrets about walking away from Major League Baseball after an accomplished career that spanned 20 seasons.  FoxSports.com’s Jimmy Traina relayed what Jeter had to say during a radio interview Wednesday about his lack of desire to play and his ambivalence toward what’s gone on at the dawn of the 2015 MLB campaign: Derek Jeter on @siriusxm just now…

View photo . (AP Photo) For 20 years, New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter played arguably the most important position for arguably the most popular baseball franchise. During that period, Jeter won multiple championships, appeared in various commercials and was generally accepted as the face of Major League Baseball.

0 Shares Print The 2015 seasonal sample remains small, but as is often the case this early in a season, it’s the pitchers who have first begun to shake up the fantasy baseball rankings. The rationale is simple: Pitcher playing time pales in comparison to that of hitters. An everyday hitter will come to the plate 600-plus times in a year, while a full-time rotation member might not pitch much…
