When we get to the long weekend in May we all start looking up when the trade deadline is a little more often - don’t tell me you don’t do it, everyone does. No matter how much you love your breakout guy, or how much you are getting killed by a keeper or two, one will always consider what they could get in a trade for player ‘X’ or how they could weasel a scuffling stud away from a frustrated owner. Really, it might be the most fun part of this fantasy baseball game - let’s get to it!

Four years ago Ichiro hit .352 as the leadoff hitter and centerpiece of the Seattle Mariners offense. He was a tremendous defender in the outfield, and only lost out on a batting title because Joe Mauer evolved into the best overall hitter in baseball for one year.

The season is basically a quarter of the way through. and fantasy owners are either getting restless or proud to have the sluggers listed below on their team. It may be time to trade for a struggling hitter, but it also may be time to just let it ride and see if they can provide some value in the summer months.

Welcome back! Last week’s Injury Report was highlighted by starter news galore with a freak injury to Toronto’s J.A. Happ and an injury no one saw coming to Philadelphia’s Roy Halladay. In this week’s edition of the Injury Report, it’s all about the starting pitching once again. We take a look at a Cy Young award winner’s trip to the DL in Tampa, a returning ace’s impact in Cincinnati, and a starter’s return to the mound in Los Angeles, minus a charging Carlos Quentin.

This week on The Kids Are Alright, we take a look at some of the best shortstop prospects in the game through a unique lens. While the Dodgers' Corey Seager, the Pirates' Alen Hanson, and the Cubs Arismendy Alcantara play shortstop now, each has a likely future at another position, or perhaps on another club. It's always good to be ahead of the curve in fantasy sports, so keep your eyes open for these three good young infielders no matter where the end up.
