Top 200 Fantasy Baseball Dynasty Rankings - Eric Cross' End of Season Update

What, just because the MLB season is over you thought the Fantasy Baseball content would stop? Well, not in my world and not here at RotoBaller either. Dynasty leagues are a year-round investment and there's never a bad time to improve or tinker with your roster. So why not start with some rankings and notes […]

Top 10 Second Base Prospect Rankings for Fantasy Baseball (2026)

The second base position is always a tricky one for fantasy baseball, and that extends into the prospect rankings as well. Oftentimes, we see shortstop prospects move over to second base late in their development, mainly due to either not having a great arm or their major league team already having a player locked into […]

Eric Cross' Top 125 Dynasty Prospect Rankings for Fantasy Baseball (End of Season)

Well, another baseball season has come and gone, but rankings season never ends. I'll be working through my positional and team prospect rankings throughout the offseason, but for now, here are my current top-125 overall prospects for fantasy baseball. These MLB prospect rankings are geared toward standard 5x5 fantasy baseball leagues (AVG) and consider many […]

Top 10 First Base Prospect Rankings for Fantasy Baseball (2026)

When it comes to prospect rankings, the first base position doesn't always look as star-studded as dynasty rankings do. But often times players at first base in the Majors shift over there long after debuting. Third basemen bump over to first, catchers move out from behind the plate, etc. With that said, we still have […]

Eric Cross' 2025 Fantasy Baseball Rookie Awards

With the season in the books, it's time to look back and reflect on the 2025 season. What went right? What went wrong? Who surprised? Who disappointed? One way to slice and dice the 2025 season and answer those questions is by handing out some 2025 fantasy baseball awards. That's what I'll be doing here […]


Samuel Basallo - Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Top 10 Catcher Prospect Rankings for Fantasy Baseball (2026)

The catcher position has been on the rise over the last couple of years, and the next few years should be no different. Even with plenty of catcher prospects like Drake Baldwin, Agustin Ramirez, and Dalton Rushing graduating to the Major Leagues in 2025, the catcher position is still loaded with talent in the minor leagues, with […]


Juan Soto - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Top 200 Fantasy Baseball Dynasty Rankings - Eric Cross' September 2025 Update

The season might be winding down, but it's time to sneak in one final in-season dynasty rankings update before the regular season comes to a close. The 2025 season has been exciting with plenty of rankings movement, and that remains the case here in the season's final month. This will be the last Top 200 […]


Konnor Griffin - Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Draft Rankings, MLB Rookie Sleepers

Eric Cross' Top 125 Dynasty Prospect Rankings for Fantasy Baseball (September 2025)

We're nearing the end of both the minor league and Major League seasons, but there's always time for one last in-season prospect rankings update. We have plenty of notable movers this month, both positively and negatively, and some exciting names in the low minors are really starting to ascend up rankings. These MLB prospect rankings […]

Eric Cross' Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups - Hitters and Pitchers (Week 26)

Welcome to my final waiver wire article of the season here on RotoBaller. I've enjoyed writing this article each Saturday this season, and hopefully, this article has been beneficial to you and your fantasy teams over the last six months. If you're still reading this here in late-September, it probably means you're still in contention […]


Joey Cantillo - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Eric Cross' Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups - Hitters and Pitchers (Week 25)

It's hard to believe that we only have a little over two weeks left of the Major League Baseball regular season and the 2025 fantasy baseball season. If you're reading this article, you're either still in contention in your league(s) or simply love consuming fantasy baseball content. For those of you still chasing that money […]

Eric Cross' Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups - Hitters and Pitchers (Week 24)

After a week off when I was travelling, I'm back with another set of waiver wire recommendations here on RotoBaller. We're in the final few weeks of the regular season, but the waiver wire is just as important now as it was in April and May, especially for those of you in the fantasy playoffs […]

Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects to Stash (Redraft): Eric Cross' Rookie Rankings for Week 23

Welcome to the final Top 25 prospects to stash article of the season here on RotoBaller. Hopefully, this article has helped you throughout the 2025 season and landed you an impactful rookie or two along the way. With September callups happening today, on Monday, September 1, when this article is posted, this will likely be […]

Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects to Stash (Redraft): Eric Cross' Rookie Rankings for Week 22

The month of August has been a big month for prospect promotions, especially over the last few weeks. Over the last week, we had four notable prospect promotions, including three prospects in my top-50 with Bubba Chandler, Jhostynxon Garcia, and Carson Williams being called up by the Pirates, Red Sox, and Rays, respectively. But thankfully, […]


Samuel Basallo - Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Eric Cross' Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups - Hitters and Pitchers (Week 22)

Just like that, we're past the three-quarter mark of the 2025 season. If you play in a head-to-head format, your playoffs are likely starting this upcoming week or the week after. If you're in a roto league, you only have five weeks left to improve your spot in the standings. Whatever spot you're in, it's […]


Kevin McGonigle - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Eric Cross' Top 125 Dynasty Prospect Rankings for Fantasy Baseball (August 2025)

Another month has flown by, so it's time for some updated prospect rankings. Where has most of the summer gone? This particular prospect rankings update has always been one of my favorites throughout the season, as I get to add in all the newly drafted players into the mix. These MLB prospect rankings are geared […]


Spencer Jones - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects to Stash (Redraft): Eric Cross' Rookie Rankings for Week 21

We've blown past the August 15th threshold, so now any prospect that debuts will still keep their rookie eligibility intact for the 2026 season. We've already seen the impact of this with several notable promotions over the last week, including Dylan Beavers and Samuel Basallo in Baltimore, two highly-touted prospects who had ranked very high […]


Blaze Alexander - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB Injury News

Eric Cross' Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups - Hitters and Pitchers (Week 21)

We've reached the point in the season where the word "grind" takes on extra meaning. We've been setting lineups, making trades, and scouring the waiver wire for nearly five months now, and fantasy football has crept into the picture for some of you. But staying diligent with your teams and staying on top of the […]


Kristian Campbell - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Prospects

Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects to Stash (Redraft): Eric Cross' Rookie Rankings for Week 20

We're getting closer and closer to the 45-day mark from the end of the season, which means we likely start to see an uptick in prospect promotions in the next week or two, as Major League teams will be able to keep these prospects' rookie eligibility intact entering 2026. Does that mean we will finally […]


Luke Keaschall - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB Prospect, Draft Sleepers

Eric Cross' Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups - Hitters and Pitchers (Week 20)

Just like that, we've blown past the two-thirds mark of the 2025 Major League season and have under two months remaining in the regular season. For those of you in head-to-head formats, that probably means your playoffs start in four or five weeks. It's now crunch time of the fantasy baseball season, and time is […]


Tarik Skubal - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB DFS Lineup Picks

Mid-Season Fantasy Baseball Starting Pitcher Dynasty Rankings, Prospect Rankings, Buys, and Sells (2025)

We finish this mid-season dynasty and prospect rankings series by climbing the mound to dive into the starting pitcher position. As usual, pitching injuries are coming hot and heavy this season, which always causes a shake-up in rankings, both short-term and long-term. Most of the healthy aces have been studs this season, but we've had […]


Spencer Jones - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects to Stash (Redraft): Eric Cross' Rookie Rankings for Week 19

The Major League Baseball trade deadline has come and gone. We've seen plenty of playing time opportunities for top prospects open up since the deadline, specifically in Arizona and Baltimore. One of those spots in Arizona has already been filled by Tyler Locklear, who is a sneaky add in 12-team leagues or deeper right now. […]


Colson Montgomery - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Eric Cross' Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups - Hitters and Pitchers (Week 19)

Another trade deadline has come and gone, which always creates extra excitement and importance on the waiver wire. Whether you're in a daily pickups league or have to wait until Sunday night to see if you won your FAAB bids, the waiver wire is especially important directly following the trade deadline, as plenty of new […]


Kristian Campbell - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Prospects

Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects to Stash (Redraft): Eric Cross' Rookie Rankings for Week 18

It's been fairly slow on the prospect promotion front, with only a couple of semi-notable names getting the call this month. With that said, the Triple-A level is loaded with notable names right now, some of which will certainly get the call over the final two months of the season. Stashing or at least monitoring […]


James Wood - Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Draft Sleepers, MLB Rankings

Mid-Season Fantasy Baseball Outfield Dynasty Rankings, Prospect Rankings, Buys, and Sells (2025)

While the shortstop position might be considered the sexiest on the field in general, and it's where all kids want to play growing up, the outfield position is the most star-studded and loaded position for fantasy purposes. That should be apparent when you scope out the rankings below. The top 12 names in the dynasty […]


Bobby Witt Jr. - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Injury News

Mid-Season Fantasy Baseball Shortstop Dynasty Rankings, Prospect Rankings, Buys, and Sells (2025)

After covering catcher, first base, second base, and the hot corner so far, we now round out the infield with my mid-season dynasty and prospect rankings for the always exciting shortstop position. Per usual, the shortstop position is loaded with elite players and has plenty of depth, both on the Major League side and down […]


Kumar Rocker - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Prospects, Draft Sleepers

Eric Cross' Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups - Hitters and Pitchers (Week 18)

Listen, I know we all just want to talk about Nick Kurtz right now after his four-homer game on Friday night, and I just tweeted about him in the middle of writing this article myself. However, we still have lineups to set, FAAB to set, and waiver wire claims to make. There are only two […]


Jacob Misiorowski - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB Prospects, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire

Eric Cross' Top 100 Dynasty Prospect Rankings for Fantasy Baseball (July 2025)

We've reached the All-Star break and all the excitement that comes with it. In addition to the All-Star Game, Futures game, and Home Run Derby, we also have the Major League Baseball 2025 draft kicking off today (July 13), which will bring a whole new batch of prospects added to my August prospect rankings. But […]


Samuel Basallo - Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects to Stash (Redraft): Eric Cross' Rookie Rankings for Week 17

The All-Star break is over and we're back to setting lineup for the stretch run of the fantasy baseball season. Did you enjoy your four day break? Well, it's time to strap back in. It's been a bit quiet on the prospect promotion front over the last couple of weeks. However, there are plenty of […]


Junior Caminero - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB DFS Picks

Mid-Season Fantasy Baseball Third Base Dynasty Rankings, Prospect Rankings, Buys, and Sells (2025)

After being down for several years, the hot corner has been heating up for the last year or two, and that has continued here in 2025. We've seen breakouts from Junior Caminero, Addison Barger, Maikel Garcia, and others, while also having some notable performances from veterans like Alex Bregman and Eugenio Suarez. At the same […]


Jazz Chisholm - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB Injury News, DFS and Betting Picks
