Fantasy Baseball 2012: Daily Research Links for the Tireless Fantasy Guru

The Missing Links

Need a Hamburger Helper-like hand with your midseason baseball research? Are you curious to know why Baltimore Orioles infielder (and noted free swinger) Chris Davis is getting on base at a .333 clip since May 9?

Are you dying to find out when the Arizona Diamondbacks, led by pitchers Ian Kennedy, Daniel Hudson, Trevor Cahill and Wade Miley, might promote two amazing prospects from the minors (Trevor Bauer/Tyler Skaggs)?

Check out these great supplemental sites for background information. From January to October, it is my daily ritual to peruse these sites in full:
