Speed, power, hitting, fielding, throwing: baseball's five tools. There aren't a lot of players in Major League Baseball that possess all five, which is what makes a player like Mike Trout unique.
Batting average, home runs, stolen bases, RBIs, runs scored: fantasy baseball's five most common scoring categories. There aren't a lot of players in Major League Baseball that can contribute to all five, which is what makes a player like Mike Trout unique. Seeing a trend here?
Mike Trout is the best baseball player on the planet. Replacing him on your fantasy team after his recent groin injury will be next to impossible, unless Voltron is still available in your league. Voltron is five smaller robots that come together to form a larger, more powerful robot that possesses each of the component robots skills... see where I'm going with this?
It's going to be super tough to replace a player like Trout on your fantasy baseball team with just one player, so you may have to use several. But do you have the necessary bench space? It's very possible that Mike Trout could avoid a trip to the Injured List, but for now we have to assume that that's where he is headed an act accordingly.
In this week's episode of "Two Dudes, Same Fantasy" we give you several options to replace the production that you will be missing from Trout, as well as some "Fire and Ice" picks on players that we think will have great weeks, or not.
We also dive in to a few news topics from the NFL as it relates to fantasy football and tell you TOLD YOU SO, or what had happened was.
