Fantasy Baseball: Arizona Diamondbacks' Willie Bloomquist Is Most Added

As a fantasy baseball player, it can be extremely difficult to keep a level head early in the year.

We know guys like Albert Pujols aren’t going to finish the year hitting .200, but what do you make of the players like Arizona Diamondbacks utility man Willie Bloomquist?

If you’re speculating for speed, it would be best to keep an eye on how much playing time the 33-year-old receives.

The Rest of the Story: The Joe Niekro Foundation and the Arizona Fall League

"And that's the rest of the story" was, of course, the famous phrase uttered countless times by the late, great, Paul Harvey.

For those readers too young or too sheltered to remember the immortal radio legend, Harvey gave listeners the endings to stories that were newsworthy one day and faded away from our memories the next. Harvey would present to listeners the happy or ironic outcome of a story long since forgotten.

Live Blog: Dustin Ackley vs. The Arizona State Sun Devils

11 days, eight of the top college baseball teams in the country, a great setting for baseball in Omaha, Neb., and the unmistakable “ping” make the College World Series one of the great and vastly underrated sporting events.

One of the more interesting matchups on the second day of the College World Series is the University North Carolina vs. Arizona State University.

New Photos Page and Whatnot
