Julio Robaina - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Julio Robaina, SP, Houston Astros ANALYSIS: Robaina, 22, was signed by the Astros out of Cuba in 2017. The southpaw throws a low-90s fastball, and although he does a fine job locating the pitch, it lacks the spin or velocity needed to be a truly lethal offering. From time to time, he also throws […]

Justyn-Henry Malloy - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Justyn-Henry Malloy, 3B, Detroit Tigers ANALYSIS: We often need to look at opportunities for playing time when deciding whether to stash a prospect or not, and in the case of Justyn-Henry Malloy, he has a golden opportunity to break into Detroit's lineup as a full-time starter and never look back.

Ronny Mauricio - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Ronny Mauricio, 2B/SS, New York Mets ANALYSIS: When a top prospect that is nearly Major League ready begins playing another position in the upper minors, that is a clear signal that the parent club is trying to figure out how they can get that player into their lineup. That's exactly what's happening right now […]

Bo Naylor - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Bo Naylor, C, Cleveland Guardians ANALYSIS: Well, it was an extremely short stint for Bo Naylor in Cleveland this time around as he was only brought up to serve as the 27th man on the roster for a double-header on Sunday.

Elly De La Cruz - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Elly De La Cruz, SS, Cincinnati Reds ANALYSIS: The narrative for Elly De La Cruz for a while now has been that he possesses massive fantasy upside given his elite power and speed, but that the approach needed refinement. We saw that all on full display last season when De La Cruz went bonkers […]

Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects To Stash - Updated Rankings for 2023 Redraft (Week 8)

It was another exciting week of prospect promotions with two big names being promoted to the Majors.

Needless to […]

PROSPECT: Gavin Stone, SP, Los Angeles Dodgers ANALYSIS: Well, Gavin Stone was called up but still gets to be included on this week's list as he was sent right back down to Triple-A after the one start.

Jordan Westburg - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Jordan Westburg, 2B/3B/SS, Baltimore Orioles ANALYSIS: I'm honestly not sure what Baltimore is waiting for when it comes to Jordan Westburg. While Adam Frazier hasn't exactly been terrible offensively, it's not like he's lighting the world on fire with his .240/.330/.375 slash line either. Meanwhile, Westburg is slashing .333/.395/.593 in Triple-A with eight home runs and […]

Gavin Stone - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Gavin Stone, SP, Los Angeles Dodgers ANALYSIS: The Dodgers are calling him up to make his MLB debut this week and there's a chance he could stick for a bit if he impresses in that outing. Or it could be a spot start, who knows. I'm not opposed to adding him regardless to see […]

Gavin Williams - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Gavin Williams, SP, Cleveland Guardians ANALYSIS: We've already seen the debuts of Tanner Bibee and Logan Allen over the last week, and Gavin Williams likely isn't too far behind them.

Taj Bradley - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Taj Bradley, SP, Tampa Bay Rays ANALYSIS: If you have Bradley, I'd be holding unless you play in a shallower league. In three starts with the Rays, Bradley compiled an impressive 3.52 ERA, 2.29 xERA, 0.91 WHIP, 38.3% strikeout rate, and 35% K-BB rate. He was missing bats at a high clip with both his […]

Jordan Walker - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Jordan Walker, OF, St. Louis Cardinals ANALYSIS: Is it disappointing to see the Cardinals send Jordan Walker down to Triple-A? Obviously. Should they probably make a trade to free up some space in their crowded outfield? Absolutely. But for now, we'll have to wait for Walker to make his return. Honestly, I don't have […]
