MLB Trade Rumors: 10 Players Who Should Be Dealt, But Will Not Be
July 8th, 20102010 Fantasy Baseball: CBS Sports Partners with Bleacher Report
March 22nd, 2010With Spring Training in full swing and fantasy baseball just around the corner, Bleacher Report and CBS have come to an agreement that gives Bleacher Report readers 50 percent off CBSSports.com Fantasy Baseball Commissioner.
This league, which generally costs users $180, won eight out of nine Fantasy Sports Trade Association Awards last year and offers a lot of analysis including downloadable draft kits, Top 300 rankings and draft projections.
CBS Fantasy Baseball Commissioner also allows league owners to run their league however they choose, giving them multiple scoring options and letting them do everything to make their league different from others.
Part of the deal with Bleacher Report allows users the ability to go through a 14-day free trial to test the league and see if they want to run the league and pay or if it is too rich for that user.
Through this promotion, I am giving the opportunity for readers to be involved in my league. Here is the information for you to find my league.
League Name: The Big Leagues
League Abbreviation: LBT
*I would have a better abbreviation, but TBL was taken and this was the best I could do, putting the words in reverse order.
It is a 14-team league that is run with a Head-to-Head point system. I am looking for people who will be dedicated to make a competitive and well run league.
You can get your own discount here , or you can join my league.
CBSSports.com is a Bleacher Report partner and paying sponsor of the Bleacher Report baseball communities. This post is one of a series of sponsor-endorsed posts related to the CBSSports.com Fantasy Baseball Commissioner League.

Dodgers Spring Injuries: Ho-Hum
March 9th, 2010With Spring Training in full swing, the Dodgers injuries are starting to tally. However, fans shouldn't panic—this sounds like the same record we have listened to for years. For the past decade, the Dodgers have had preseason injuries that make the news, and most often they make the news simply because it's Spring Training, and nothing else is going on.
Russell Martin, Casey Blake, and Cory Wade are already making headlines with reported injuries, but the Dodgers organization and the players don't seem concerned.
Casey Blake took the day off against the Rockies with sore ribs but is confident he will be ready for Opening Day. He is able to swing a bat slowly with limited pain. He mentioned that if this situation occurred in the regular season, he would probably play through it, and if it were playoffs, he wouldn't miss an inning.
Martin suffered a torn groin but mentioned the pain was so mild it seemed as though it was just early-spring soreness. The doctor-recommended recovery time is four to six weeks. Martin received a cortisone shot Tuesday to expedite the healing process, and those familiar with the catcher and his work ethic know he will be doing whatever he can to get back in game shape by the start of the regular season.
Los Angeles does seem to be taking it slow with reliever Cory Wade. His chronically ailing shoulder was examined via MRI, and tests revealed no structural damage. He also received a shot to the shoulder, and manager Joe Torre says Wade will be taking several days off as a precaution and will then be re-evaluated.
It seems every year players return from the break a little stiff in the joints and in need of a little work. As the Spring progresses, don't fret over reports of injuries unless the Dodgers make no light of the situation. Blake and Wade will be ready to follow-up on their productive campaigns from last season, and Martin will be ready to turn things around. Dodgers fans, have no fear.
