Top 10 Third Base Prospect Rankings for Fantasy Baseball (2025)

The hot corner has been synonymous with hot production over the years. Outside of a fall-off several years ago, this position has been one of the best for fantasy year in and year out, especially in the power department. I'm not expecting that to change any time soon either, with some of the names coming […]

Top 10 Second Base Prospect Rankings for Fantasy Baseball (2025)

For the most part, the second base position has been one of the weaker positions on the field offensively. After several seasons with this position on the rise, we saw second base fall off as a whole last season due to injuries and some of the aging top options at the position fall off. But […]


Jac Caglianone - Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Top 10 First Base Prospect Rankings for Fantasy Baseball (2025)

The first base position has long been considered one of the best offensive positions for fantasy purposes. However, the position is starting to age with top options like Freddie Freeman and Bryce Harper who are now 35 and 32 respectively. Luckily, the top half of my top 10 below all projects to be impact fantasy […]

Top 10 Catcher Prospect Rankings for Fantasy Baseball (2025)

When it comes to the positions on a baseball diamond, the catcher position usually gets the least amount of love. It's understandable as catchers usually don't put up big fantasy numbers and rarely play more than 140 games in a season. At the same time, the catcher position has been on the rise over the […]

Third Base Risers, Fallers, Buys, and Sells for Dynasty Fantasy Baseball

It's been an exciting few weeks in the baseball world with Juan Soto's signing, Kyle Tucker being traded, and various other notable moves, including a few that impact the third base position, which we'll be talking about today. As I've said several times before, there's never a bad time to make moves to improve your […]

Second Base Risers, Fallers, Buys, and Sells for Dynasty Fantasy Baseball

It feels like the 2024 season ended six months ago, but we're still in the early stages of the offseason. We still have around four months to opening day, but the dynasty fantasy baseball world never sleeps. As I've said several times before, there's never a bad time to make moves to improve your team(s) […]

First Base Risers, Fallers, Buys, and Sells for Dynasty Fantasy Baseball

While the offseason has just begun, it's never too early to look ahead and begin prepping for 2025. And for those of you in dynasty leagues, November can be just as important as July when it comes to roster construction and improving your teams for the long run. As I've said several times before, there's […]


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

Eric Cross' Top 100 Dynasty Rankings for Fantasy Baseball (October 2024)

Another fantasy baseball season has come and gone, but in dynasty, when one season ends the next one begins. Rankings don't reset, they simply continue on. We saw plenty of notable performances down the stretch in 2024, both good and bad which created plenty of movement in my final Top 500 dynasty rankings update of […]


Walker Jenkins - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Prospects

Eric Cross' Top 100 Dynasty Prospect Rankings for Fantasy Baseball (October 2024)

Well, the 2024 season is in the rearview mirror, and we are now turning our attention to 2025. Sure, it's only the first day of October when this article is being published, but as dynasty managers know, there's never a bad time to improve your roster for the future. At this point in the year, […]

Catcher Risers and Fallers for Dynasty Fantasy Baseball

It's hard to believe that the 2024 fantasy baseball season is in the rearview mirror and we now have to look ahead to 2025. Those who play dynasty leagues always have some eye on the future, but now 2025 is the sole focus. As I've said several times before, there's never a bad time to […]

Top Hitting Fantasy Baseball Prospects Who Should Debut Early in 2025

The 2024 season is winding down, but it's never too early to start thinking about and prepping for the 2025 season. Throughout the 2024 season, I wrote a weekly article on the Top 25 prospects to stash in redraft leagues. Hopefully, that article was useful to many of you who read it each week, helping […]

We're down to the final week of the 2024 MLB regular season, so why not have some fun and look ahead to the 2025 season to see what top prospects could be up early in the season that we should be targeting or monitoring for fantasy purposes. This article is an extension of the weekly […]

Welcome to the final Top 25 Prospects to Stash article of the season here on RotoBaller. It's been a fun season once again doing this article and I hope I've been able to assist your teams.

Eric Cross' Top 100 Dynasty Prospect Rankings for Fantasy Baseball (August 2024)

While the minor league season is winding down, there is still plenty of action and movement in the prospect world. This is also going to be my last rankings update with Jackson Holliday included and probably Junior Caminero as well. Caminero will graduate in 37 more at-bats, and Holliday actually did on 8/30, a few […]

Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects To Stash (Week 23): Redraft Rankings

With under 45 days left in the 2024 regular season, we're now in the period where MLB teams can call up prospects without burning a year of service time. This usually means we see some notable promotions over the final month, sometimes even a surprise name or two that we didn't expect. Could that surprise […]


Coby Mayo - Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Draft Sleepers, MLB Rookies

Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects To Stash (Week 22): Redraft Rankings

It's hard to believe September is right around the corner and we're in the final quarter of the 2024 Major League season. We've seen plenty of notable promotions over the last couple of weeks including Trey Sweeney, Jace Jung, Jasson Dominguez, Junior Caminero, Zebby Matthews, and others. With those names off the list, the top […]


Junior Caminero - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Prospects

Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects To Stash (Week 21): Redraft Rankings

After a quiet last week or two on the prospect front following Coby Mayo's debut, we get two major promotions this week with Junior Caminero being recalled and Zebby Matthews making his MLB debut. Both had ranked highly in my stash rankings for a while now and it will be exciting to see what sort […]


Junior Caminero - Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects To Stash (Week 20): Redraft Rankings

Well, we're past the trade deadline, and some notable prospects like Deyvison De Los Santos, Agustin Ramirez, and Connor Norby all switched teams. Norby had already debuted with Baltimore while De Los Santos and Ramirez are knocking on the door. And thankfully, we finally saw Jackson Holliday recalled to Baltimore and Coby Mayo was finally freed from Triple-A after […]


Shohei Ohtani - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Eric Cross' Top 100 Dynasty Rankings for Fantasy Baseball (July 2024)

The second half of July is always exciting for fantasy baseball purposes. Not only do we have the MLB draft and new faces joining my dynasty and prospect rankings, but we also have the MLB trade deadline, which causes values to change a bit as well. Since my June update, we've seen plenty of values […]


Junior Caminero - Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects To Stash (Week 19): Redraft Rankings

The MLB trade deadline period is always one of the most exciting times of the baseball season. We've already seen plenty of trades go down that are shifting rosters and potentially freeing up playing time for prospects, and I'm sure many more will go down on Tuesday before the 6 p.m. EDT deadline. Today is […]


Jackson Holliday - Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Draft Sleepers, MLB Rookies

Eric Cross' Top 100 Dynasty Prospect Rankings for Fantasy Baseball (July 2024)

The prospect rankings update after the MLB draft is always an exciting one. We've seen plenty of top prospects graduate over the first few months of the season, so it's nice to finally get some reinforcements to add to the mix and strengthen both this Top 100 and my overall Top 500 as well. These […]

Jordan Lawlar - Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Draft Sleepers, MLB Rookies

Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects To Stash (Week 16): Redraft Rankings

It's hard to believe that we're past the halfway mark of the 2024 season, and the all-star break is on the horizon. But while Major League Baseball is set to hit pause next week for a few days, the pause button has not been hit when it comes to prospect promotions. Over the last couple […]
