Kyle Manzardo - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Kyle Manzardo, 1B, Cleveland Guardians ANALYSIS: In a rather surprising move, Kyle Manzardo is now a member of the Cleveland Guardians after being acquired in the Aaron Civale deal. When the deal happened, I didn't think it changed his ETA or 2023 rest-of-season outlook much. However, Cleveland then proceeded to deal Josh Bell to the Miami Marlins which […]

Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects To Stash - Updated Rankings for 2023 Redraft (Week 19)

Another MLB trade deadline has come and gone. And per usual, plenty of prospects have either been traded into better situations or had Major Leaguers traded that makes their path to playing time a little bit easier. With the exception of Michael Busch that is. He's apparently stuck in Triple-A purgatory until the end of […]

The July Top 500 prospect rankings update is always my favorite update during the season. Why? Well, I get to add all the recent MLB draft prospects to the mix which was around 70 overall in my top 500. This time of year truly fits the term "Christmas in July" for us prospect rankers. These […]

Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects To Stash - Updated Rankings for 2023 Redraft (Week 18)

The prospect promotion scene slowed down this past week after the previous week's prospectapalooza, but we still received the callup and debut of Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick awho ranked #15 on this list last week. If you need a boost in AVG or SB, Frelick could give you a boost. Just don't expect a […]

Gavin Stone - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Gavin Stone, SP, Los Angeles Dodgers ANALYSIS: In three starts since being optioned back down to Triple-A, Gavin Stone has pitched to the tune of a 3.18 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 2.9% walk rate, and a 26.5% strikeout rate. Walks had started becoming an issue for Stone during May and early-June with a 17.3% walk […]

Michael Busch - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Michael Busch, 2B, Los Angeles Dodgers ANALYSIS: At this point, we're REALLY hoping that the Los Angeles Dodgers trade Michael Busch at the deadline. Even after they optioned Miguel Vargas to Triple-A, the Dodgers had the luxury of sliding uber-athlete Mookie Betts from right field to the keystone, keeping Busch in Triple-A. Meanwhile, Busch continues to rake in […]

Heston Kjerstad - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Heston Kjerstad, OF, Baltimore Orioles ANALYSIS: If you simply looked at the production, profile, and proximity to the Majors, Heston Kjerstad would look like a pretty solid prospect to stash right now. After excelling in Double-A for a couple of months, Kjerstad has been even better in Triple-A with a .344/.421/.584 slash line, 11 […]

Masyn Winn - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Masyn Winn, SS, St. Louis Cardinals ANALYSIS: To the surprise of nearly everyone, the St. Louis Cardinals have struggled mightily this season and are currently nine games out of the 3rd wild card spot in the National League. This has led to reports of the Cardinals being sellers at the deadline which makes a […]

Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects To Stash - Updated Rankings for 2023 Redraft (Week 17)

What a week it's been for prospect promotions! Over the last week we've seen Baltimore recall Grayson Rodriguez, New York recall Oswald Peraza, and the Major League debuts of Zack Gelof, Tyler Soderstrom, Endy Rodriguez, Quinn Priester, and last week's #1 and #2 prospects in these rankings, Colton Cowser and Christian Encarnacion-Strand. Well, there goes […]

Eric Cross' Top 50 Dynasty Rankings for Fantasy Baseball (July 2023)

It's hard to believe that the 2023 Major League season is almost half over but here we are. The first 90 or so games of the season have been incredibly exciting with plenty of rookie debuts, injuries, and players rising or falling in dynasty rankings. That's always the case, but this season feels a bit […]

Xavier Edwards - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Xavier Edwards, 2B, Miami Marlins ANALYSIS: Remember him? While Edwards didn't make the top-25 this week, I do believe he's someone to keep on your radar at least. Despite having a trio of home runs over the last month, Edwards doesn't provide much in the way of power, but he could provide a solid […]

Heston Kjerstad - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Heston Kjerstad, OF, Baltimore Orioles ANALYSIS: Over the last 30 days, Heston Kjerstad has been one of the hottest hitters in the minors with a .330/.425/.625 slash line to go along with five home runs and a solid 18.5% strikeout rate. Given his upside, performance, and proximity to Baltimore, one might wonder why Kjerstad […]

Michael Busch - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Michael Busch, 2B, Los Angeles Dodgers ANALYSIS: Is the third time going to be the charm with Michael Busch? The former first-round pick has already had two separate stints with the Dodgers this season, but couldn't secure regular playing time in either of them. With the Dodgers recently sending Miguel Vargas down to Triple-A after struggling […]

Grayson Rodriguez - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Grayson Rodriguez, SP, Baltimore Orioles ANALYSIS: It wouldn't shock me at all if Grayson Rodriguez was back up with Baltimore shortly after the All-Star break. While his last outing only lasted three innings with three walks, Rodriguez has really impressed overall since being sent back down to Triple-A. In seven starts since being optioned […]

Christian Encarnacion-Strand - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Christian Encarnacion-Strand, 1B/3B, Cincinnati Reds ANALYSIS: Now that many of the other prospects that occupied the top part of these rankings for the last several weeks are up in the Majors, Christian Encarnacion-Strand is left standing in the middle of an empty room like Will Smith at the end of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. But […]

The baseball and fantasy baseball seasons are past the halfway mark at this point and the All-Star […]

Gavin Stone - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Gavin Stone, SP, Los Angeles Dodgers ANALYSIS: Well, it looks like Gavin Stone will get another shot with the Dodgers sooner than anticipated. Stone, along with Michael Grove, was recalled from Triple-A on Monday as the Dodgers placed longtime ace Clayton Kershaw on the IL. In four games down in Triple-A after being optioned in early June, […]

Zack Gelof - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Zack Gelof, SS, Oakland Athletics ANALYSIS: While Zack Gelof doesn't receive as much hype as fellows A's prospect Tyler Soderstrom does, Gelof is coming off an 18/10 season in 95 games last season and has already racked up 11 home runs and 19 steals in 63 games this season with an impressive .296/.404/.519 slash […]

Tyler Soderstrom - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Tyler Soderstrom, C/1B, Oakland Athletics ANALYSIS: Moving out west, we have a pair of Oakland Athletics bats that will likely receive some playing time before the end of the season. Let's start with Tyler Soderstrom who has the higher fantasy upside of the Oakland duo. In 66 games this season, Soderstrom has already cranked 15 […]

Matt Mervis - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Matt Mervis, 1B, Chicago Cubs ANALYSIS: Since being sent back down to Triple-A Iowa, Mervis is hitting .263 with a pair of home runs and five walks in 11 games. His first stint with the Cubs was underwhelming on the surface, but Mervis produced impressive quality of contact metrics with a 13.8% barrel rate […]

Colt Keith - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Colt Keith, 3B, Detroit Tigers ANALYSIS: I'm really starting to think we see Colt Keith sooner rather than later, especially now that he's mashing in Triple-A. With another three hits, including a double and a stolen base, Keith now has 10 hits in his first six Triple-A games including two home runs and four […]

Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects To Stash - Updated Rankings for 2023 Redraft (Week 14)

It's hard to believe that the MLB season is already at the halfway mark. FOr the most part, fantasy league standings have taken shape and you should have a pretty good idea of whether or not you have a shot at contending this season. If you've fallen out of the hunt, stashing prospects probably isn't […]

Dominic Canzone - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Dominic Canzone, OF, Arizona Diamondbacks ANALYSIS: If only the Arizona Diamondbacks didn't have so many damn outfielders that have already debuted or are Major League ready. We joke about how Christian Encarnacion-Strand has been mashing and needs to be freed from Triple-A, but Dominic Canzone has been even better in the month of June, […]

Colt Keith - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Colt Keith, 3B, Detroit Tigers ANALYSIS: Even though he's currently at Double-A, it wouldn't surprise me to see Colt Keith up with Detroit sooner rather than later. We've seen more promotions from Double-A to the Majors this season than I can recall over the last several years, and Keith has been mashing all season. […]

Parker Meadows - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Parker Meadows, OF, Detroit Tigers ANALYSIS: After hitting under .240 in both April and May, Parker Meadows has jumpstarted his season here in June, slashing .333/.363/.563 with nine doubles, three home runs, and two steals in 22 games.
