Harmon’s 2013 Fantasy Baseball Early Rankings: Starting Pitchers 26-60
Are you a fan of the longball and sluggers, or do you load up early on top-notch studs for your pitching staff? Some fantasy owners eschew the selection of an ace to fill out the hitter positions before turning back to the mound. They’re looking for “value” late and to land the next breakthrough arm. […]

Harmon’s 2013 Fantasy Baseball Early Rankings: Outfield 26-60
We love to debate where the big names at the top of the draft board should stack up. After all, everybody knows about the on-field exploits of names like Trout, Braun and CarGo. But, as you drift through the pack, things get interesting, contentious and less certain. The term “Sleeper” (“Ninjas” in my world here […]
Harmon’s 2013 Fantasy Baseball Early Rankings: Outfield 1-25
“Embrace debate.” That’s the unofficial slogan in sports media for 2013. That’s been the theme of fantasyland for a long, long time. For 2013, fantasy owners are debating whether Mike Trout can repeat his historic 2012 campaign, whether Josh Hamilton will stay healthy and which media members gets the first “clown” reference from Bryce Harper. […]
Harmon’s 2013 Fantasy Baseball Early Rankings: Third Base
It seems strange to enter a Fantasy Baseball preseason discussion without the longstanding battle over Alex Rodriguez. Rodriguez’s health pushes him to the back of the pack, and a new run of challengers battle toward the top of the pack. That isn’t to say that familiar names have been displaced altogether, but a new crop […]
Harmon’s 2013 Fantasy Baseball Early Rankings: Shortstop
The long road to opening day has begun. Regular starters are beginning to see at-bats and pitch to live batters. Ardent fans have descended upon spring training sites.

We’re locked and loaded for another run on the diamond.

They’re scouring the reports from beat writers in the desert and in […]

Welcome to the opening salvo of 2013 Major League Baseball coverage here on the Dome. After a successful 2012 fantasy baseball campaign , attention shifted to the power and glory of the NFL.

New Dodgers Hitting Coach Mark McGwire Talked to FOX Sports Radio
Mark McGwire is headed home. The southern California native returned home by signing a deal to become the new hitting coach of the Dodgers.

Inside The Swollen Dome: Harmon Chats With Marcus Trufant
Earlier on Wednesday, I had a chance to talk to longtime Seattle Seahawks cornerback Marcus Trufant.
