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!

Noah Schultz Activated From Temporarily Inactive List

Chicago White Sox pitching prospect Noah Schultz was activated from the temporarily inactive list. Schultz, the No. 18 overall prospect per MLB Pipeline had been placed on the list July 12th, but no specific reason was given. Schultz did pitch in the Futures Game two days later, but got hit hard in his performance. Schultz […]


Tirso Ornelas Added To 40-Man Roster

The San Diego Padres have demoted outfield prospect Tirso Ornelas back to Triple-A El Paso. It was as brief as a promotion as one could have for the Padres No. 25 per MLB Pipeline as the outfielder had his contract purchased by the big-league club on Sunday and then was sent back down hours later. […]


Chase Mobley Slides To 10th Round

The Cleveland Guardians selected high-school pitcher Chase Mobley in the 10th round with the 295th pick overall out of Durant High School in Florida. Mobley is ranked the No. 70 prospect per MLB Pipeline, but slipped a lot past his projection. The lengthy right-hander stands at 6'5, 205 pounds has hit up to 99 MPH […]


Dakota Jordan Slips To Fourth Round

The San Francisco Giants selected outfielder Dakota Jordan out of Mississippi State in the fourth round with the 116th pick. Jordan was ranked as the 34th-best prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and could prove to be a steal for the Giants down the road. The 21-year-old was a two-sport athlete for the Bulldogs before dropping football […]


Gage Miller Headed To Marlins

With their third-round pick (92nd overall), the Miami Marlins selected third baseman Gage Miller out of the University of Alabama. Miller spent last season with the Crimson Tide after playing the previous two seasons in junior college for Bishop State in Alabama. The 21-year-old proved that even against better talent, he remains a force to […]


Angels Tab Ryan Prager As Third-Round Selection

With the 81st overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, the Los Angeles Angels used their third-round selection on left-handed pitcher Ryan Prager out of Texas A&M. The four-year junior emerged as the Aggies ace after undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2022 and went 9-1 with a 2.95 ERA and 11.4 K/9 in 19 starts […]


Kevin Bazzell Selected By Nationals In Third Round

With their third-round pick (79th overall), the Washington Nationals selected catcher Kevin Bazzell. Bazzell, 21, out of Texas Tech University, was ranked No. 55 overall by MLB Pipeline. The backstop is athletic and is impressive at the plate with his ability to barrel the ball and make hard contact from the right side of the […]


Chase Dollander Will Open Second Half In Double-A

After a dominate performance for High-A Spokane in the first half of the season, the Colorado Rockies will promote pitching Chase Dollander to Double-A Hartford when the second half of the season begins. The former Tennessee Volunteer was selected with the ninth overall pick of the first-round in the 2023 MLB Draft and hasn't missed […]


Marlins Tab Carter Johnson With Pick No. 56

With the 56th pick in the second round of the 2024 MLB Draft, the Miami Marlins selected shortstop Carter Johnson out of Oxford High School in Alabama. Johnson, 18, was the 40th-ranked prospect, per MLB Pipeline, but winds up with the Marlins 16 picks past his projection. The shortstop has been up-and-down when it has […]


Billy Amick Slips To Twins At Pick No. 60

With the 60th pick in the second round of the 2024 MLB Draft, the Minnesota Twins selected third baseman Billy Amick out of the University of Tennessee. Amick, 21, slipped past his ranking as the 32nd-best prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and could wind up being a steal for the Twins. The third baseman helped lead […]


Ryan Sloan Slips To Mariners With 55th Pick

With their second-round pick (55th overall), the Seattle Mariners selected pitching prospect Ryan Sloan out of York Community High School in Illinois. Sloan slipped past his 19th overall ranking, per MLB Pipeline, to land with Seattle. The 18-year-old was the Gatorade Player of the Year for the state of Illinois with his ability to top […]


Tommy White Lands With Athletics At Pick No. 40

In the second round of the 2024 MLB Draft with the 40th overall pick, the Oakland Athletics selected third baseman Tommy White out of LSU. White, 21, was rated the No. 20 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and it looks like the Athletics may have snagged themselves a steal with White. The third baseman put together […]


Malcolm Moore Selected By Texas Rangers At Pick 30

With the 30th and final picked in the first-round of the 2024 MLB Draft, the defending champion Texas Rangers selected catcher Malcolm Moore out of Stanford University. Moore, 20, was one of the top eligible high-school prospects in 2022, but elected to attend Stanford, where had mixed results. Moore has a good approach at the […]


Diamondbacks Select Slade Caldwell At Pick 29

With the 29th pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, the Arizona Diamondbacks selected outfielder Slade Caldwell out of Valley View, Arkansas. The 18-year-old recently won back-to-back Gatorade Player of the Year awards. The outfielder doesn't have ideal size at 5'9, 182-pounds, but he is an advanced hitter that consistently hits line drives from the left […]


Marlins Select PJ Morlando At Pick 16

With the 16th pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, the Miami Marlins picked high school outfielder PJ Morelando out of Summerville, South Carolina. Morlando is arguably the biggest reach thus far in the draft as MLB Pipeline had him as the 43rd overall prospect. Morelando recently won the South Carolina Gatorade prep player of the […]


Seattle Mariners Nab Jurrangelo Cijntje At Pick 15

With the 15th pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, the Seattle Mariners have selected switch-pitcher Jurrangelo Cijntje out of Mississippi State. Cjintje mainly throws right-hander, but the 21-year-old is talented enough to also through left-handed as scouts project him as more successful throwing right-handed. Cijntje not only is a fun story, but the real deal […]


Cam Smith Lands With Chicago Cubs At Pick 14

With the 14th pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, the Chicago Cubs selected third baseman Cam Smith out of the University of South Carolina. Smith, 21, had a huge year for the Seminoles in 2024 with a .387 batting average to go along with 16 homers and 57 RBI. The third baseman stands tall at […]


James Tibbs Selected 13th Overall By San Francisco Giants

With the 13th pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, the San Francisco Giants selected outfielder James Tibbs out of Florida State University. Throughout three seasons at FSU, Tibbs improved every season and put up huge numbers this season with a .363 batting average to go along with 28 homers, 95 RBI and eight stolen bases. […]


Max Fried Suffers Tough Loss

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried suffered a tough-luck loss versus the Arizona Diamondbacks in a 1-0 loss on Thursday evening. The lefty went six innings and allowed one run, five hits, three walks and recorded seven strikeouts in the contest. The upcoming free-agent hit some bumps in the road earlier this season, but for […]


David Peterson Stays Undefeated

New York Mets starting pitcher David Peterson earned his fourth quality start of the season after tossing six scoreless innings versus the division rival Washington Nationals on Thursday. Peterson allowed four hits with three walks and five strikeouts to improve to 4-0 on the season. Peterson has been a popular sleeper over the past few […]


Luis Castillo Finishes First Half On A High Note

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Luis Castillo continued his strong season by picking up his eighth victory of the season in an 11-0 blowout victory against the division rival Los Angeles Angels. Castillo was not needed deep into the contest with such a big lead, but he was productive in his six innings of work. Over […]


Brandon Pfaadt Earns 10th Quality Start

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Brandon Pfaadt put together a strong performance in Thursday's 1-0 victory versus the Atlanta Braves. Earning his 10th quality start of the season, the right-hander tossed six frames and allowed three hits, zero runs, zero walks and sent four batters back to the dugout via the strikeout. Pfaadt was hit hard […]


Brandon Marsh Continues To Heat Up

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh played a big role in Thursday's victory against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The veteran went 2-for-4 on the evening with a triple, solo home run and two RBI. Marsh has quietly been having a solid season for the Phillies with a .272 batting average to go along with nine homers, […]


Wilyer Abreu Has Huge Game On Thursday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu put together a big performance in Thursday's 7-0 victory versus the Oakland Athletics. Abreu went 3-for-4 in the contest with a double, home run and two RBI, falling a triple shy of the cycle. The 25-year-old has been one of the better waiver wire finds of the season thus […]


Masataka Yoshida Continues To Swing Hot Bat

Boston Red Sox outfielder Masataka Yoshida had a big game in Thursday's blowout victory versus the Oakland Athletics. Yoshida went 3-for-4 on the evening with a two-run homer and four RBI on the day. Yoshida has really been hitting the ball well of late, with 15 hits over his last 45 at-bats for a pair […]


Seiya Suzuki Collects Three Hits In Victory

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki had a big day in Thursday's victory versus the Baltimore Orioles. Suzuki went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles, one triple and three RBI on the evening. The outfielder struggled earlier in the season at the dish, but has turned this on over the last month of the season. Over […]


J.P. Crawford Collects Three Hits In Victory

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford enjoyed a successful night at the plate in an 11-0 victory versus the division rival Los Angeles Angels on Thursday. Leading off, Crawford went 3-for-4 with three runs, three RBI and a double and two-run home run. Crawford had one of his best professional seasons in 2023, but that hasn't […]


Blake Dunn Gets Sent Back Down

The Cincinnati Reds have demoted outfield prospect Blake Dunn. Dunn, the club's No. 10 prospect per MLB Pipeline has been up-and-down all season and was recently promoted on July 3. This time, he only lasted a week, before being sent back down to Triple-A Louisville. The 25-year-old has struggled in his brief stints this season […]


Padres Demote Adam Mazur

After another poor performance on Tuesday, the San Diego Padres have demoted pitcher Adam Mazur to Triple-A El Paso. Mazur allowed five runs on Tuesday against a weak Seattle Mariners offense and it will remain to be seen if he will be back with the club following the upcoming All-Star break. The right-hander has pitched […]


Deyvison De Los Santos Adds To Home Run Total

Arizona Diamondbacks third base prospect Deyvison De Los Santos continued his power display for Triple-A Reno on Wednesday. The MiLB home run leader added to his total when he went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer. The home run would be his 27th of the season to go along with 45 RBI and a .305 batting […]
