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

Jordan Westburg Slumping Early In Spring Training

Baltimore Orioles shortstop prospect Jordan Westburg went 1-for-4 with a double on Tuesday versus the Minnesota Twins. Westburg is a consensus Top-100 prospect, but has been off to a slow start in a small sample size this spring. The 24-year-old is just 4-for-18 with two RBI, but it's much too early to question his potential […]


Gunnar Henderson Off To Slow Start

Baltimore Orioles shortstop/third base prospect Gunnar Henderson went 0-for-3 with a walk and strikeout on Tuesday versus the Minnesota Twins. Arguably the top prospect in the game right now, Henderson has come out of the gates sluggish this spring with just two hits in his first 13 at-bats. The 21-year-old has flown through the Orioles […]


Grayson Rodriguez Continues To Make Case For Rotation Spot

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher prospect Grayson Rodriguez tossed 2 2/3 innings on Tuesday versus the Minnesota Twins. The big hurler allowed three hits, one run, two walks and recorded four strikeouts on the afternoon. The 23-year-old had a phenomenal 2022 campaign going 6-2 with a 2.62 ERA alongside 109 strikeouts in 75 1/3 innings. With […]


Jordan Walker Continues To Hit This Spring

St.Louis Cardinals third base prospect Jordan Walker started in right field and went 1-for-3 with a single on Tuesday versus the Detroit Tigers. Walker, 20, is one of the games top prospects and his hot start to the spring is evidence of that. In his first 24 at-bats, he has hit .417 with five runs, […]


Anthony Volpe Continues To Swing Hot Bat This Spring

Yankees shortstop prospect Anthony Volpe went 1-for-2 with a run and pair of walks in a start on Monday. Volpe drew the start with fellow shortstop prospect Oswald Peraza (foot) sidelined with a minor foot injury. Volpe, 21, is the teams top prospect and has been off to a hot start this spring with a […]


Hunter Brown Struggles With Command

Houston Astros starting pitcher prospect Hunter Brown struggled in his second start of the spring on Monday. The teams top prospect got through the first inning with just a single allowed, but opened the second frame with three walks and was yanked for reliever Ty Buttrey. Buttrey would in turn allow all three inherited runners […]


Masyn Winn Shows Patience On Monday

Hitting first for the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday, shortstop prospect Masyn Winn went 0-for-2 with a strikeout and a pair of walks. Winn has been off to a nice start this spring with six hits over his first 15 at-bats. He has also scored four runs to go along with a homer, two RBI […]


Tink Hence Strikes Out Two In Relief

St. Louis Cardinals pitching prospect Tink Hence worked a scoreless frame in Monday's victory versus the Houston Astros. The right-hander allowed a free pass, but also struck out two on the afternoon. Hence, 20, has rapidly climbed Top-100 boards over the past year and for good reason. Hence was 0-1 with a shiny 1.38 ERA […]


Orelvis Martinez Blasts First Homer Of Spring

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop prospect Orelvis Martinez went 1-for-2 with a three-run homer on Sunday versus the Philadelphia Phillies. Martinez, 21, has now gone 2-for-6 in a small sample size this spring. Traditionally a shortstop, Martinez suited up at third base and that could potentially be his long-term position with shortstop Bo Bichette locked up […]


Ken Waldichuk Off To Slow Start This Spring

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Ken Waldichuk didn't fare much better in his second outing this spring than he did in his first. One of the top left-handed pitching prospects in the game, Waldichuk allowed three hits, two runs, one walk and one strikeout in 1 2/3 innings on Sunday versus the San Diego Padres. The […]


Ronny Mauricio Continues To Show Power

New York Mets shortstop prospect Ronnie Mauricio went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer on Monday. It was his second consecutive contest that he went yard. The 21-year-old has been one of the Mets top prospects over the last few seasons and spent this past offseason in gym bulking up, which has translated to more power […]


Andrew Painter Could Compete For Rotation Spot

Matt Gelb of The Athletic has projected Philadelphia Phillies top pitching prospect Andrew Painter to make the Opening Day rotation. Painter, 20, had one of the most impressive seasons for any pitcher this past season with a 1.56 ERA, 155 strikeouts, 25 walks and a 6-2 record over 103 2/3 innings between Low-A and Double-A. […]


Jordan Walker Set To Compete For Opening Day Spot

St. Louis Cardinals third base prospect Jordan Walker will be given every opportunity to compete for an Opening Day spot this season. Walker, 20, has been a consensus top-10 prospect and has light tower power. With his bat clearly ready to make an impact, Walker will have his first legit chance to show why he […]


Alexander Canario Rising Through Cubs System

Chicago Cubs outfielder Alexander Canario went 1-for-4 with a solo home run for Triple-A Iowa on Thursday. Canario opened the season with High-A South Bend, but spent the bulk of his season for Double-A Tennessee and has spent the last 15 games with Iowa. The 22-year-old was one of the prospects the Cubs received for […]


Hunter Goodman Has Shown Plenty Of Power On The Farm

Colorado Rockies catcher prospect Hunter Goodman has been a big source of power down on the farm for the organization this season. The 22-year-old catcher spent most of his season between Single-A Fresno and High-A Spokane, but recently was promoted to Double-A Hartford to close out his season. Regardless of the uniform, Goodman has shown […]


Esteury Ruiz Up To 80 Stolen Bases

Milwaukee Brewers outfield prospect Esteury Ruiz is up to 80 stolen bases on the season. Ruiz, 23, was one of the prospects received in the Josh Hader trade deadline deal and no matter the uniform, he continues to swipe bags like it's a piece of cake. The speedster opened the season in Double-A, but a […]


Sal Frelick Continues To Impress Down On The Farm

Milwaukee Brewers outfield prospect Sal Frelick went 2-for-4 with a pair of stolen bases for Triple-A Nashville on Thursday. The talented outfielder extended his on-base streak to 39 games with the performance and has now gone for multi-hits in 22 of his 44 games in Triple-A.

Matthew Liberatore Pitching Well In Triple-A

St. Louis Cardinals pitching prospect Matthew Liberatore went six scoreless frames for Triple-A Memphis on Thursday. The lefty allowed just four hits and struck out seven on the evening, but did walk three batters. The 22-year-old has now gone back-to-back starts without allowing a run. Liberatore has gotten some action in the big leagues this […]


Andrew Painter Continues To Rise For Phillies

Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Andrew Painter has won the organization's Minor League Pitcher of the Year Award with his impressive professional debut in 2022. The club's first-round pick in 2020 was short of perfect in his first campaign and went 6-2 with a 1.56 ERA between Single-A Clearwater, High-A Jersey Shore and Double-A Reading. He […]


Ezequiel Tovar Hits First Homer In Triple-A

Colorado Rockies shortstop prospect Ezequiel Tovar went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in his second game for Triple-A Albuquerque. Tovar had an impressive showing in Double-A this season with a .318 batting average to go along with 14 homers, 48 RBI and 17 stolen bases. That performance earned him a late season promotion to […]


Kevin Alcantara Hits Another Grand Slam In Single-A

Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Kevin Alcantara went 2-for-4 with a walk and hit his third grand slam of the season for Single-A Myrtle Beach on Sunday.

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop prospect Jordan Lawlar went 2-for-5 with a solo home run for Double-A Amarillo on Sunday. It's his second homer for Amarillo since his promotion on August 23.

Kahlil Watson Warming Up In Single-A

Miami Marlins shortstop prospect Kahlil Watson went 4-for-5 with a triple for Single-A Jupiter on Sunday. Watson, 19, is one of the Marlins top prospects and one of the top young shortstops in the sport, but has had an inconsistent season at the plate with him tending to get hot and cold every other month. […]
