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!

Articles

Mitch Haniger Goes Yard

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, two runs and a walk in Thursday's Opening Day loss versus the Boston Red Sox. Haniger returned to the Mariners this offseason as part of the Robbie Ray trade. After a nice spring, the veteran starts the regular season out on a high. Haniger […]


Tyler O'Neill Continues Opening Day Streak

Boston Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill went 1-for-3 with a walk, two runs, one stolen base and a solo home run. The home run would mark the fifth straight season that the slugger has gone yard on Opening Day, which is now a MLB record. O'Neill had a nice spring with his new club and […]


Freddie Freeman Finishes Spring With Fourth Homer

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman finished Spring Training with a 1-for-4 performance against the Los Angeles Angels. Freeman's lone hit was a solo home run. For the spring, the veteran finishes with four homers, 16 RBI and a .282 average. Although he is another year older, Freeman remains as consistent as they come. […]


Blaze Alexander Finishes Impressive Spring With Homer

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop prospect Blaze Alexander finished his impressive Cactus League by going 1-for-2 with a walk and two-run homer versus the Cleveland Guardians. Alexander, 24, made waves this spring by hitting .400 (22-for-55) with two homers, eight RBI and five stolen bases. Alexander has put the pressure on the Diamondbacks to let him break […]


Rafael Devers Finishes Spring With Fifth Homer

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers went 1-for-2 with a solo home run on Tuesday versus the Texas Rangers to close out Spring Training. His home run would be his fifth this spring and 11th RBI to go along with a stellar .380 batting average. Devers has been one of the best players in […]


Matt Wallner Goes Yard

Minnesota Twins outfielder Matt Wallner went 1-for-1 with a two-run homer in Grapefruit League action against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday. Wallner finishes spring with three homers and nine RBI, but a weak .132 batting average. The 26-year-old will never be big in the average department, but he has shown plenty of power, including 14 […]


Chase Silseth Ends Spring On High Note

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Chase Silseth dominated his final start of the Cactus League on Tuesday versus the Los Angeles Dodgers. Silseth went five innings and allowed just two hits with two runs, no walks and 10 strikeouts. It was a very impressive outing for the 23-year-old against one of the top offenses in […]


Colton Cowser Makes Opening Day Roster

After a dominant performance in the Grapefruit League this spring, Baltimore Orioles outfielder Colton Cowser has made the Opening Day roster. The 24-year-old forced the Orioles hand after hitting .304 with six homers, 13 RBI and a pristine 1.135 OPS. Cowser will enter the season as a fourth outfielder, but it is unlikely that he […]


Jesse Chavez Inks Minor League Deal With Braves

The Atlanta Braves have signed pitcher Jesse Chavez to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training. The 40-year-old journeyman spent last season in Atlanta, but was recently cut by the Chicago White Sox after a tough time in the Cactus League this spring. Despite his rough numbers with the White Sox this […]


Marcus Stroman Ends Spring On High Note

New York Yankees starting pitcher Marcus Stroman tossed six innings of scoreless ball in Sunday's Grapefruit League contest versus the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.

Luis Severino Enjoying Success In Grapefruit League

New York Mets starting pitcher Luis Severino tossed five innings of one run ball versus the Washington Nationals in Grapefruit League action on Sunday. He also allowed four hits with one walk and four strikeouts. The 30-year-old signed a one-year contract with the Mets this offseason after being a New York Yankee for the entirety […]


Logan Webb Having A Rough Cactus League

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb has had a rough go of it in the Cactus League this spring with a bloated 10.97 ERA in six starts than span over 21 1/3 innings. Webb, 27, is coming off an excellent season for the Giants with his 3.25 ERA being his highest over the past […]


Christian Encarnacion-Strand Blasts Fifth Homer

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Christian Encarnacion-Strand went 1-for-3 with his fifth homer of the spring in Sunday's Cactus League contest versus the Cleveland Guardians. In addition to his five home runs, the slugger has driven in 14 runs and is hitting .333 in 51 at-bats. First base has opened with infielders Matt McLain (shoulder) and […]


Willy Adames Hits Three Dingers

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames had a huge game in Sunday's Cactus League matchup versus the Arizona Diamondbacks. Adames went 3-for-3 with four runs and three home runs. The homers would knock in all of his six RBI on the day. The 28-year-old was the subject of trade rumors this offseason, but stuck with the […]


Adley Rutschman Hits Third Homer Of Spring

Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman went 1-for-2 with a three-run homer in Grapefruit League action against the Minnesota Twins on Sunday. The star catcher now has three homers and eight RBI to go along with a .257 batting average this spring. Rutschman has improved in each year of his young big-league career and is coming […]


Charlie Blackmon Having A Nice Spring

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer against the Chicago Cubs in Thursday's Cactus League matchup. The veteran is entering his 14th season, all with Colorado and has looked good this spring with a .333 batting, two homers and six RBI in 39 at-bats. At age 37, Blackmon may have to […]


Orlando Arcia Hits Fourth Homer Of Spring

Atlanta Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's Grapefruit League action against the New York Yankees. Arcia now has four homers to go along with a healthy .286 batting average this spring. The 29-year-old has always had a great glove, but broke out offensively last season to make his […]


Bryan Reynolds Goes Yard

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's Grapefruit League action versus the Toronto Blue Jays. The home run would be his fourth of the spring and he now has six RBI. The power has been there for the 29-year-old this spring, but other than that, he has hit […]


Ricky Tiedemann Records Five Strikeouts

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitching prospect Ricky Tiedemann tossed three innings and allowed one hit, one run and two walks while striking out five on Thursday versus the Pittsburgh Pirates in Grapefruit League action. Tiedemann, 21, was competing for a rotation spot, but with Thursday's announcement that Bowden Francis has won the fifth spot in […]


Julio Rodriguez Enjoying A Strong Spring

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez went 0-for-1 with a pair of walks on Thursday versus the Cincinnati Reds in Cactus League action.

This spring, he's picked up where he left off and has hit .372 with three homers, […]


Nico Hoerner Struggling In Cactus League

Christian Yelich Enjoying Cactus League

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich has been having a nice spring with two homers, five RBI and a .333 batting average in 24 Cactus League at-bats. Yelich, 32, bounced back in 2023 after some rough campaigns in 2022 and 2023 and finished with a .278 batting average that was accompanied by 19 homers, 76 RBI […]


Christian Walker Hits First Home Run Of Spring

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a Cactus League matchup versus the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday.

He also belted his first homer, a two-run rocket off Michael King in the fifth inning. Betts is always one of the strongest performers in the league […]


Joe Musgrove Hit Hard In Season Debut
