The following article is from our friends at Fantasy Furnace...

1. Shawn Kelley-RP-Yankees :NYY:- Here is our "Special K" of the week! This former Mariner had an awful 2-game stretch in his 3rd and 4th appearance back in the beginning of April, giving up 6 earned runs vs Cleveland and Detroit. By April 8th Kelley's ERA had ballooned to an unseemly 10.12. It has since dropped almost in half as he has let his K's do the talking for him. So far this season, Kelley has struck out 38 in just 22 1/3 innings. Kelley has helped keep the Bombers in quite a few games this season. For now, he is someone to consider in deeper leagues and A.L. only leagues.

2. Chris Carter-1B,OF-Astros :HOU2:- Those desperate for a player with some power numbers who is virtually unowned in most leagues, Carter is another who has gone unnoticed. Consider this: Carter has 3 more homers (11) than Albert Pujols, and just one less RBI (31). He's on pace to hit 30 home runs on the season and yet is owned in just 17% of leagues. His batting average (.223) admittedly is holding him back in many leagues, and yet players like Ike Davis of the Mets who only has 5 homers on the season and is batting an anemic .168 is owned in twice as many leagues.

3. Chad Gaudin-SP,RP-Giants :SF:- This well traveled veteran who just might set a record for the amount of times he's been traded (10) since entering the league in 2003, is someone that we're touting because he not only won his first game on Sunday vs the Cardinals as a starter since Sept. of 2009 when he was with the Yankees, but his ERA (2.21) and WHIP (1.15) are the lowest of his career. Gaudin is staying on as the Giants' fifth starter while Ryan Vogelsong continues his DL stint. He'll face the Diamondbacks this weekend and could be a...

  • BayAreaBallers: Alpha taking a lead commish role for a change good for u
    May 15, 2024, 07:34:31 PM
  • Daddy: Yeah his training wheels are off. Especially with a money baseball league. Profsl hasnt seen one of those in over a decade.
    May 15, 2024, 08:02:35 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: my only qualms is what is the method to pay. i dont wanan havta make another money account like league safe
    May 15, 2024, 08:04:39 PM
  • Daddy: It uses the LIVE scoring engine. Otherwise its a completely different baseball option then LIVE, FGM, or Armchair.
    May 15, 2024, 08:05:26 PM
  • Daddy: I think its thru fantrax but its next season so he has time to sort that out.
    May 15, 2024, 08:06:04 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: i got that
    May 15, 2024, 08:07:32 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: its just its a money league
    May 15, 2024, 08:07:38 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: i havat be very careful w such things
    May 15, 2024, 08:07:46 PM
  • Daddy: Variety is what all of our leagues should be, no two alike. So we as a site can cater to all types. MLB LIVE lost a HOF level GM (Paul) because he doesn't do H2H leagues.

  • TheGOAT: @Daddy, when will NBA Live be in full swing?
    May 15, 2024, 08:09:19 PM
  • Daddy: Its there as an option. $10 entry for a chance to win $100 or double your money. Worst case you're out $10 but no contracts etc.
    May 15, 2024, 08:09:37 PM
  • Daddy: @TheGoat starting two leagues next month. NBA could be ready by the upcoming season.
    May 15, 2024, 08:10:17 PM
  • Daddy: @TheGoat I'm waiting on the creation of league boards per @Anthony. Once the boards are up the building of the league begins.
    May 15, 2024, 08:11:17 PM
  • Daddy: NHL & NCAA football will both be insane for a minute.
    May 15, 2024, 08:12:19 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: its also redraft
    May 15, 2024, 08:14:07 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: which makes it interesting
    May 15, 2024, 08:14:16 PM
  • Daddy: NBA LIVE scoring, concept, rules, its all ready to go. The concept was completed last month.
    May 15, 2024, 08:14:18 PM
  • Daddy: @BAB exactly. Fresh start each year. @Alpha5 is on to something. And the LIVE scoring engine is legit.
    May 15, 2024, 08:15:13 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: i just need to know how money is handled
    May 15, 2024, 08:17:55 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: before deciding
    May 15, 2024, 08:18:01 PM
  • Daddy: That's fair. He is building his own brand "Powerhouse" is redraft each sport $10 entry & 20 teams. Football, Baseball, Basketball, and lastly hockey.
    May 15, 2024, 08:23:34 PM
  • Daddy: Each sport powered by the LIVE scoring engine.
    May 15, 2024, 08:24:55 PM
  • Daddy: Redraft
    May 15, 2024, 08:25:35 PM
  • Daddy: Im so proud lol (insert tear) #newgeneration

  • Braves155: I had the best sick day ever today. This morning I woke sick as piss, texted my boss I was taking a sick day as it wasn't happening. I might also might have met someone who shows interest in this old boy
    May 15, 2024, 09:48:46 PM
  • Braves155: Via an accidental text from said person.

  • dbreer23: It's a clear and quiet night in MLB LIVE, and the boards are cleared...
    May 15, 2024, 10:25:23 PM
  • Alpha5: If we could handle the money on fantrax that'd be great. Leaguesafe is actually the site I've been inquiring about

  • Jwalkerjr88: I get like that too Eric. My goal every offseason is to do at least 1 trade with every gm. Why not? Its fun
    Yesterday at 04:55:00 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: Some guys just dont trade for whatever reason. But the guys who dont arent championship contenders.
    Yesterday at 04:55:47 PM
  • Daddy: They trade, about as often as real teams do. For people that love year round trading, being in one league, one sport, its going to be difficult.
    Yesterday at 05:38:13 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: Not everyone trades. But agreed, for one sport folk like myself. It requires patience
    Yesterday at 06:10:32 PM
  • Alpha5: NFL LIVE is the most difficult league for me and it's not even close
    Yesterday at 07:22:33 PM
  • Daddy: Cant just trade because its fun. There needs to be a purpose behind trading. Get guys you believe in or need to keep improving.

  • Daddy: NFL LIVE has the toughest GMs & football is the toughest fantasy sport for DYNASTY. Redraft will always be King of football.
