Baseball Picks – How to Get Baseball Picks for Baseball Betting

August 15, 2011 By 5,294 Comments

 

Are you looking to purchase baseball picks so you can bet on the right team? There are many online baseball handicappers who sell their baseball picks for a price. Would it be better to just posses a winning baseball handicapping system.

A system that would consistently give you winning baseball picks.

Thousands of dollars are spent daily not on the betting the games but on purchasing games selections from online handicappers. Supposedly these online handicappers have more experience and most of all a proven handicapping system. Theoretically they are more accurate than the average sports better. How do we know if this true. Many do not post the records against the spread for us to see. They make outrageous claims that they have unique insight to the match up that we do not. Just how do we know this for sure.

It is bad enough that a person needs to be charged over and over again for online handicappers baseball picks but there is no guarantee that you will win. What would really impress me is if an online handicapper instead of selling individual baseball picks would sell the system used to generate the baseball picks. Then and only then would I truly see just what determines their selections. Funny, they never offer to sell you that system just the individuals baseball picks that cost a fee over and over again.

The answer is to purchase a proven winning baseball handicapping system that you use to determine winning baseball picks. Pay once and never again. If a handicapping system is developed properly then this would work. Think about it, pay one price and never be bothered with play of the day offers again.

August 15, 2011 By 6,362 Comments

Interested in baseball music, baseballs songs and more Baseball Stories following the game and the red sox baseball team? Head along to Ace Diamond’s website to check out the new CD “playing’ baseball” for more songs about baseball. This is the story of the “first Recordings of ‘ Aka: “The Gowell’s ‘(Larry, Dick & Bev)”Ace Diamond” Aka “The Gowell’s’s” (Larry, Dick” & Bev) started their music career’s in the early 70′s as a Family group. “Dick” later known as “Ace Diamond” penned several tunes by his early 20′s &  was ‘chomping at the bit” to record a 45 RPM disc & did in 1969,while attending a local business college. His Brother “Larry” had already been drafted by the N.Y. Yankees in the 4TH round, (1967) as a pitcher out of Edward Little H.S. in Auburn, ME. That same year, “Dick” (playing Semi-Pro ball for the Auburn, Asas) was also signed by (Larry’s scout) Pat Colgan to a free agent contract. So they both got assigned to Oneonta, N.Y in the New York Penn League. Larry played for seven years & went on to appear in the majors(1972) & Dick Aka “Ace Diamond” played for that one summer.(1967) as an outfielder, He was more known by his team-mates as the entertainer (Singing/Playing guitar on those  long. long  bus trips that year!.)He later went back to college to graduate!  Sister Bev” married a local Doctor & was a keyboard player at her church!

Meanwhile, The Gowell’s “Larry, Dick & Bev” located a recording studio in Rockland, Me. about 75 miles North of Auburn!  They booked the studio in Feb/69 (Could have been a bad idea?); because the day of the session, the whole area was hit by a northeaster and the roads were almost closed! All of Maine got hit with over (2-feet of the white stuff!): However, “The Gowell’s” undaunted headed for Rockland with no idea if they’d make it!?? But somehow they rolled in “on time”, as this 2-hr. trek took them over 5-hrs.to make!! “The Gowell’s” recorded all the parts themselves (Several instruments/tracks) and recorded & mixed the session) and were done the next day and gleefully came home with their “HIT recordings “! As it turned out, the 45 rpm single was released that spring & received heavy airplay in the region & was a local hit, which sold heavily in various venues!! Their initial foray into the music business was a Success!!

“Larry” continued on his very successful climb in pro ball and Dick (after Oneonta) went back to school and later wrote many more fine tunes & performed in a folk/pop duo “Wayne & Richard” & appeared on regional T.V. (Talent Spotlight) and recently appeared in a Lewiston concert (Ethos in Time), a non-profit event over the years He’s recorded for several producers from Maine to Texas!.. Dick has several single releases and a handful of albums to his credit. Dick & Larry played “music and baseball” together off and on over the years. They reunited for this Baseball-CD Songs About Baseball project in 2009 (a 12-Song CD entitled “Playing’ Baseball”) which highlight’s both their careers! The CD has received great reviews to date!

Top 20 – First Base (1B) Rankings – 2010 Fantasy Baseball Draft Guide

August 15, 2011 By 5,724 Comments

Get ready for the 2010 Fantasy Baseball season by dominating your draft with some of the best fantasy baseball rankings, stat projections, and player info, all right here for free. First Base (1B) Rankings are based on a 1-year standard scoring system in mixed AL/NL fantasy baseball leagues for the 2010 season.

Scoring system stats include: runs scored, homeruns, rbi, stolen bases, and batting average – (R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG). AB = at bats during the 2009 season.

In these rankings, for a player to qualify at First Base (1B), they must have played in at least 10 games or started at least 5 games at the First Base (1B) position during the 2009 season. Each players 2010 fantasy baseball position eligibility and their age for the 2010 season is provided after their name.

Top 10 – First Base (1B) Rankings 2010

#1 – Albert Pujols – 1B – St. Louis Cardinals (30)

Finally turning age 30 this year, Pujols has been leading fantasy baseball teams to championships over the past nine years. Now entering his 10th year in the MLB, Pujols is once again the clear cut #1 ranked 1B for fantasy baseball teams heading into the 2010 season.

2009 Stats: 568 AB, 124 R, 47 HR, 135 RBI, 16 SB, .327 AVG

2010 Stat Projections: 115 R, 45 HR, 130 RBI, 8 SB, .330 AVG

#2 – Mark Teixeira – 1B – New York Yankees (30)

If you thought that the pressure of playing in New York might affect Teixeira’s production last season, then you would have guessed wrong. As the premiere run producer in the Yankees lineup, Teixeira should once again produce a banner year in the stat columns. Now add Curtis Granderson to the top of the Yankees lineup, and Teixeira could be looking at a career high in RBI totals this season.

2009 Stats: 609 AB, 103 R, 39 HR, 122 RBI, 2 SB, .292 AVG

2010 Stat Projections: 105 R, 40 HR, 130 RBI, 2 SB, .295 AVG

#3 – Prince Fielder – 1B – Milwaukee Brewers (26)

A career year last season has Fielder riding high on the minds of fantasy baseball teams entering the 2010 season. With seasons of 50 and 46 homeruns in two of the last three years, Fielder at just age 26 actually has the potential to surpasses those numbers in 2010 as well as for several years to come. With his patience growing at the plate by taking a career high in walks and raising his batting average to a career high .299 last season, Fielder is turning into a superstar if you do not already consider him at that level.

2009 Stats: 591 AB, 103 R, 46 HR, 141 RBI, 2 SB, .299 AVG

2010 Stat Projections: 100 R, 45 HR, 125 RBI, 2 SB, .295 AVG

#4 – Ryan Howard – 1B – Philadelphia Phillies (30)

Entering the 2010 season on the heels of posting 4 consecutives season of tallying 45 plus homeruns and 135 plus RBIs, Howard is one of the safest and most reliable 1B options for fantasy baseball teams this season. At age 30, Howard is at the pinnacle of his career and should once again continue his streak of tallying 45 plus homeruns and 135 plus RBIs this season.

2009 Stats: 616 AB, 105 R, 45 HR, 141 RBI, 8 SB, .279 AVG

2010 Stat Projections: 100 R, 45 HR, 140 RBI, 2 SB, .275 AVG

#5 – Miguel Cabrera – 1B – Detroit Tigers (27)

For Cabrera, the stats have been as consistent as any fantasy baseball team could want over the past six years. However it isn’t Cabrera’s bat that is worrisome, but rather his heart and head, as he does not always seem to be in the game or even care about the game at some points. So while his typical 30 homeruns and 100 RBI is very likely to result this season, I feel Cabrera offers a much lower ceiling in terms of overall stat potential because of his lack of work ethic.

2009 Stats: 611 AB, 96 R, 34 HR, 103 RBI, 6 SB, .324 AVG

2010 Stat Projections: 95 R, 35 HR, 105 RBI, 2 SB, .315 AVG

#6 – Mark Reynolds – 1B/3B – Arizona Diamondbacks (26)

A career year last season may have set up Reynolds to be the dreaded fantasy bust this season. And realistically, after posting 44 homeruns and 24 stolen bases last season, Reynolds could easily have an extremely hard time matching those stats once again in 2010. I would expect stats closer to 30 homeruns and 15 stolen bases this season. So draft Reynolds based on those 30-15 stats rather than the 40-20 homerun-stolen stats. However on the upside for Reynolds is the fact that he offers fantasy baseball teams duel position eligibility at 1B and 3B, which helps boost Reynolds fantasy value heading into the 2010 season.

2009 Stats: 578 AB, 98 R, 44 HR, 102 RBI, 24 SB, .260 AVG

2010 Stat Projections: 90 R, 30 HR, 100 RBI, 15 SB, .260 AVG

#7 – Adrian Gonzalez – 1B – San Diego Padres (28)

Flying under the radar in San Diego, Gonzalez has amassed excellent stats over the past four seasons, while transforming himself into an excellent mid ranked fantasy baseball 1B. So if you do not want to use an early round pick on one of fantasy baseballs elite 1B options, then Gonzalez is someone you need to target as he is a proven and reliable stat producer.

2009 Stats: 552 AB, 90 R, 40 HR, 99 RBI, 1 SB, .277 AVG

2010 Stat Projections: 95 R, 35 HR, 100 RBI, 0 SB, .280 AVG

#8 – Justin Morneau – 1B – Minnesota Twins (29)

After getting last season cut short because of a stress fracture in his back that required surgery, Morneau is considered to be right on track to begin spring training and to be 100% healthy by Opening Day. At just age 29, Morneau is plenty young enough to rebound from this injury and bounce back to his typical 30 homerun and 100 plus RBI standard that he has set for himself over the past four years.

2009 Stats: 508 AB, 85 R, 30 HR, 100 RBI, 0 SB, .274 AVG

2010 Stat Projections: 90 R, 30 HR, 110 RBI, 0 SB, .290 AVG

#9 – Joey Votto – 1B – Cincinnati Reds (26)

In what was supposed to be his breakout year, Votto was struck by an illness that limited him to get 465 at bats last season. With health back on his side entering the 2010 season, Votto offers one of the highest upsides for a breakout year as any 1B in all of baseball. A 40 homerun and 110 RBI season is possible if Votto can stay healthy this year.

2009 Stats: 469 AB, 82 R, 25 HR, 84 RBI, 4 SB, .322 AVG

2010 Stat Projections: 95 R, 35 HR, 110 RBI, 5 SB, .310 AVG

#10 – Kevin Youkilis – 1B/3B – Boston Red Sox (31)

Simply put, Youkilis is a steady and reliable hitter who plays in a potent run scoring Boston lineup. Combine that with his duel eligibility at 1B and 3B, and fantasy baseball teams have a solid sure bet starter for their team. On the downside, Youkilis is more of a 25 homerun and 90 RBI guy, rather than the big bopper of 35 homeruns and 120 RBIs.

2009 Stats: 491 AB, 99 R, 27 HR, 94 RBI, 7 SB, .306 AVG

2010 Stat Projections: 95 R, 25 HR, 95 RBI, 3 SB, .305 AVG

First Base (1B) Rankings: #11-20

#11 – Víctor Martinez – 1B/C – Boston Red Sox (31)

#12 – Pablo Sandoval – 1B/3B – San Francisco Giants (23)

#13 – Kendry Morales – 1B – Los Angeles Angels (27)

#14 – Adam Dunn – 1B/LF/RF – Washington Nationals (30)

#15 – Lance Berkman – 1B – Houston Astros (34)

#16 – Billy Butler – 1B – Kansas City Royals (24)

#17 – Carlos Pena – 1B – Tampa Bay Rays (32)

#18 – Derrek Lee – 1B – Chicago Cubs (34)

#19 – David Ortiz – 1B – Boston Red Sox (34)

#20 – Chris Davis – 1B/3B – Texas Rangers (24)
