MLB Today: Adam Jones’ Quiet Breakout

/ Baseball, MLB Today

Okay, Jones has been ice cold lately (0-for-12 in the last three, but at least he delivered his 70th RBI Tuesday), however, he’s coming off a fine July (.320, five homers) which followed an impressive June (seven homers) and a pretty sweet May (.343, 15 RBI). It all adds up to top 15 value at his position as the just turned 26-year-old is beginning to scratch the surface of the uber talent we’ve all believed he has. And thanks to Baltimore’s woeful play, Jones’ fine season has pretty much been lost in the shuffle.

Video Game Review: Fruit Ninja Kinect

/ Video Game Reviews

Sending your arms gliding and arcing through the air is a lot of fun, and probably 95 times out of 100 the Kinect will read your movements perfectly. Of course, that leaves instances where it doesn’t, and you’ll hit a bomb while just resetting your arm position or only register a dozen hits on a score multiplying pomegranate instead of your usual 50 — for no discernible reason.

We’re getting into crunch time in Fantasy Leagues, and with trade deadlines fast approaching, it’s time to pull out all the stops. The marathon has turned into a sprint, giving you one last serious opportunity to address your Fantasy squads’ needs through the trade venue. Get it done.

Without further ado, let’s take a look at some of this week’s wire options that could augment those deadline trade moves.

Chicago Cubs Fantasy Report

/ Baseball, Team report

After hitting a measly two homers in the first two months of the season, A-Ram exploded, smacking a combined 17 in June and July. He’s off to a sluggish start in August with just one homer and a BA that continues to slide, but he’s already reached 20 homers for the ninth time, something we weren’t sure he’d be capable of given his health woes in recent years. Ramirez has also spent lots of time in the three-hole lately, a slot he only occupied once last year.

Welcome to the Party, PSN!

It’s not always easy being a PlayStation 3 owner, especially when it comes to the downloadable marketplace where Xbox 360 owners often get to enjoy games (and DLC) weeks, months and even years before their PS3 counterparts. Well, we here at RotoRob Gaming are going to try to take some of the sting out of it by offering up a selection of recent PlayStation Network releases that got their start on the Xbox 360 — and we’re doing it “on the house” of course.

Saving Grace: Craig Kimbrel Locks Down the Gig

/ Baseball, Saving Grace, Trevor Blake

The tough right-handed, sidearm pitcher should be used in the seventh inning role, and he brings a sparkling 2.39 ERA to help the Arizona bullpen. Assuming Putz can stay healthy the rest of the season, he seems to finally be back to his 2006-07 seasons with the Mariners when he recorded 36 and 40 saves respectively. Until this year, he had not gotten over 15 saves since his 2007 season.
