Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller

5043 articles

You won't find a bigger Cubs fan than myself. Aside from my love of fantasy sports, which includes MLB, NFL and NBA, I own my own animal care business. I graduated from Columbia College in Chicago and currently reside in Chicago, IL. My love of fantasy sports started for me in the early 2000's and I have steadily been active with the same group of friends year in and year out for every league in baseball, basketball and football. I am hoping to help all RotoBaller members with any questions they may have. I consider myself an expert with minor league prospects, as it is a love of mine. I hope to give the best advice I can to the RotoBaller world!

The slugger has continued to do what he does best and that is hitting home runs. Over the last month, Santander is hitting .265 […]


Emmanuel Clase Collects 37th Save

Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase continued doing what he does, picking up his 37th save of the season versus the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday.

Zebby Matthews Collects Victory In MLB Debut

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Zebby Matthews picked up his first victory in his big-league debut on Tuesday versus the Kansas City Royals. The rookie tossed five innings and allowed five hits, two runs, zero walks and struck out five. Overall, a solid performance for Matthews, who has rocketed up through the Twins system this season. […]


Jake Burger Continues Power Surge

Miami Marlins corner infielder Jake Burger continued his hot hitting on Tuesday versus the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies. Burger went 1-for-4 on the night with a walk and a solo home run.

Between both clubs in High-A, Chace […]


Camilo Doval Blows Fifth Save

San Francisco Giant closer Camilo Doval fell victim to his fifth blown save against the Washington Nationals on Thursday.

Charlie Morton Struggles Versus Brewers

Starting pitcher Charlie Morton got obliterated in Thursday's outing versus the Milwaukee Brewers.

Luis Matos Demoted To Double-A

The San Francisco Giants have demoted outfielder Luis Matos from Triple-A Sacramento to Double-A Richmond.

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Yanquiel Fernandez picked up his first hit for Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday. The 21-year-old went 1-for-4 in the contest, connecting for a single and RBI.

The big outfielder went 1-for-3 with a home run on Wednesday and is now 2-for-6 in his first two games with Iowa. The 22-year-old spent most of his season with Double-A […]


Sebastian Walcott Flying Under The Radar In High-A

Texas Rangers infield prospect Sebastian Walcott continued his hot hitting on Wednesday for High-A Hickory. The Rangers No. 1 prospect per MLB Pipeline went 2-for-4 with three stolen bases to add to his already impressive season.

Charlie Condon Connects For First Professional Home Run

Donovan Solano Knocks In Four Runs In Victory

Making a rare start, San Diego Padres infielder Donovan Solano went 4-for-5 with four singles and four RBI in Tuesday's victory versus the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Bryce Elder Gets Rocked In Loss

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Bryce Elder was hit hard in Tuesday's loss versus the Milwaukee Brewers. The former All-Star only last 3 2/3 innings, in which he allowed eight hits, seven runs, two walks and struck out six.

The young outfielder was off to a terrible start this […]


Kyle Schwarber Stays Hot With 24th Homer

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber stayed scorching hot in Tuesday's victory versus the Los Angeles Dodgers. The outfielder went 2-for-5 on the evening, including a home run and stolen base.
