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

Garrett Crochet Impresses In Season Debut

Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Garrett Crochet had a strong season debut versus the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday. The lefty fireballer went 2 1/3 innings and didn't allow a hit, run or walk on the evening. He also punched out three Angels and exited with a chance to pick up his first victory, but […]


David Bote Takes A Seat On Sunday

Chicago Cubs second baseman David Bote will get a routine day off on Sunday versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. Bote was named the Cubs starting second baseman out of spring training and is 0-for-4 on the season with a walk so far. Bote doesn't offer much for fantasy managers to justify rostering and has second base […]


Yermin Mercedes Stays Hot With Three More Hits

Chicago White Sox catcher Yermin Mercedes continued his hot start to the season on Saturday versus the Los Angeles Angels. Coming off of a 5-for-5 season debut on Friday, Mercedes had three hits in his first three at-bats before flying out to outfielder Mike Trout in the bottom of the eighth inning. Among the highlights […]


Lance Lynn K’s Six In Season Debut

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lance Lynn allowed six hits, two runs (zero earned), two walks and struck out six versus the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday. Lynn was hurt by the White Sox poor defense in the bottom of the third when the veteran gave up both of unearned runs. Lynn is came over […]


Jason Heyward Hits First Home Run Of 2021

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward went 2-for-4 with a solo home run on Saturday versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. Heyward quietly had a solid 2020 campaign, but even so is in the lineup more for his defense. Manager David Ross is going to deploy Heyward as the everyday right fielder, but managers would be best served […]


Javier Baez Steals Two Bases

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez went 2-for-4 with a RBI, two stolen bases and a run scored versus the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday. Baez worked his magic and stole both second and third base again Pirates starting Tyler Anderson in the bottom of the second inning and would eventually score his only run of the […]


Craig Kimbrel Looks Great In First Outing Of 2021

Chicago Cubs closer Craig Kimbrel struck out the side in his first appearance of the season on Saturday versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Cubs had a 5-1 lead when Kimbrel entered the game, so it wasn't a save opportunity. Despite that, Kimbrel looked excellent working a 1-2-3 inning with three K's. Kimbrel has struggled during […]


Kris Bryant Hits First Home Run Of 2021

Chicago Cubs third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant went 1-for-3 with two runs scored and a solo home run in Saturday's victory against the Pittsburgh Pirates. It was Bryant's first dinger of the season. The former National League MVP is coming off of a tough 2020 campaign and enters this season with high expectations with his contract […]


Jake Arrieta Looks Strong In Return

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Jake Arrieta didn't miss a beat to start his second stint with the club. Arrieta threw six strong innings on Saturday afternoon and allowed six hits, one run, one walk and struck out five on the afternoon versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. The former All-Star struggled throughout his time in Philadelphia the […]


Nick Madrigal Resting On Saturday

Chicago White Sox second baseman Nick Madrigal will be absent from the lineup on Saturday versus the Los Angeles Angels. The contact hitter has two hits over eight plate appearances on the season. Utility man Leury Garcia will replace Madrigal and bat ninth. Garcia is worthy dart throw in DFS versus Alex Cobb on Saturday, […]


Yasmani Grandal Out Of Saturday’s Lineup

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal will receive a routine day off on Saturday versus the Los Angeles Angels. Grandal is 2-for-8 on the season with a pair of RBI on the season and should produce as one of the top catchers for fantasy managers this season. Grandal will be replaced by Zack Collins. Collins […]


Tim Anderson Goes Yard For First Time In 2021

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored on Friday versus the Los Angeles Angels. Anderson's home run came off of Angels closer Raisel Iglesias to give the White Sox a big insurance run in the top of the ninth inning. The All-Star enters the year […]


Yermin Mercedes Picks Up Five Hits

Chicago White Sox catcher Yermin Mercedes went 5-for-5 on Friday versus the Los Angeles Angels. Mercedes drew the start as the teams designated hitter and didn't disappoint in his season debut. All of his hits were singles and he also drove in a pair of runs to go along with a run scored. Mercedes has […]


Dallas Keuchel Struggles In Season Debut

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel struggled in his season debut on Friday versus the Los Angeles Angels. The veteran lefty left after allowing a single and a walk to start the bottom of the fifth inning. The veteran had a final line of four innings in which he allowed five hits, six runs […]


Michael Kopech Looks Well In Season Debut

Chicago White Sox pitcher Michael Kopech looked like he didn't miss a beat in his first appearance since 2018 after undergoing Tommy John surgery and electing to sit out the 2020 campaign. The former highly touted starter worked out of relief and that's the plan out of the gate this season. Kopech walked Mike Trout […]


Jose Abreu Hits Grand Slam

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu went 2-for-4 with a grand slam, a walk and two runs scored on Friday versus the Los Angeles Angels. The home run was the reigning MVP's first of the year and his 199th of his career. Abreu now has a hit in his first two games of the […]


Yoan Moncada Strikes Out Five Times

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada had a nightmare of a night on Friday versus the Los Angeles Angels. Moncada finished 0-for-5 with five strikeouts on the evening and now has six strikeouts over his first two games. Moncada is coming off of a tough season and plate discipline has always been his weakness, […]


Liam Hendriks Picks Up First Save

Chicago White Sox closer Liam Hendriks picked up his first save with new club on Friday versus the Los Angeles Angels. Hendriks entered in the bottom of the eighth inning with two runners on base in a one-run game and got shortstop Jose Iglesias to pop out to end the inning. The White Sox had […]


Yermin Mercedes Enters White Sox Lineup

Chicago White Sox catcher Yermin Mercedes will play the role of designated hitter and bat eighth versus the Los Angeles Angels and Andrew Heaney on Friday. Mercedes is one of three catchers on the White Sox and he saw one at-bat in 2020 going 0-for-1. Mercedes, 28, impressed with a .317 batting average to go […]


Andrew Vaughn Will Hit Fifth In Debut

Chicago White Sox first base prospect Andrew Vaughn will make his big league debut and bat fifth versus the Los Angeles Angels on Friday. Vaughn is best served as a first baseman or designated hitter, but will be in left field with Eloy Jimenez (pectoral) sidelined. Vaughn doesn't have much experience in the outfield, but […]


Luis Robert Moved Up In Lineup

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert will bat second on Friday versus the Los Angeles Angels. The young outfielder will swap places with veteran Adam Eaton in the order with lefty Andrew Heaney on the mound. Manager Tony La Russa likes to tinker with his lineups and if the first two games are any indication, […]


Luis Robert Swipes First Base Of 2021

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert went 1-for-3 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base versus the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday. Robert was slotted in the number seven spot, but he has too much potential to remain there throughout the season. Robert is coming off of a strong rookie campaign and […]


Adam Eaton Homers In Return To White Sox

Chicago White Sox outfielder Adam Eaton went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run versus the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday. Eaton batted in the second spot of the order on Thursday and that should allow him to score plenty of runs in front the of the likes of Jose Abreu, Yoan Moncada and Luis Robert. […]


Lucas Giolito Looks Sharp In Season Debut

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito put together a strong performance on Thursday versus the Los Angeles Angels. The righty cruised through the first 11 batters he faced, but then allowed back-to-back walks and a RBI single to Justin Upton. Giolito still put together a strong performance and allowed just two hits, two runs, […]


Kyle Hendricks Struggles To Throw Strikes In 2021 Debut

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks struggled with his command in his first start of the season versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. Hendricks went 41 starts without walking two batters in a game, but that streak was broken when he allowed three Thursday afternoon. Hendricks also allowed four hits, three runs and struck out four in […]


Andrew Vaughn Won't Start On Opening Day

Chicago White Sox first base prospect Andrew Vaughn will not be in the Thursday's Opening Day lineup. It comes as a bit of a surprise with Vaughn's service time starting early and outfielder Eloy Jimenez (pectoral) sidelined. Manager Tony La Russa will instead go with utilityman Leury Garcia in left field and backup catcher Zack […]


Omar Narvaez Performing Well In Spring Training

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Omar Narvaez has performed well this spring with a .290 batting average to go along with three home runs and eight RBI. Narvaez was acquired from the Mariners prior to the 2020 season, but was a major disappointment in his first year with the Brewers. The catcher hit just .176 with two […]


Tyler Chatwood Will Work Out Of Bullpen In 2021

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Tyler Chatwood is expected to work as a reliever with his new club this season. Chatwood began his career as a starter for the Colorado Rockies, but bounced between the starting rotation and bullpen over the past three seasons with the Chicago Cubs. The right-hander has pitched well this spring with […]


Carlos Rodon Earns Spot In Starting Rotation

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon will begin the season in the White Sox rotation. Rodon secured the spot with a strong spring and the recent demotion of starting pitcher Reynaldo Lopez. The veteran lefty was non-tendered by the White Sox this offseason, but returned to the only team he's known as a big […]


Aaron Bummer Appears To Be Healthy Entering 2021

Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Aaron Bummer should be healthy entering 2021. The lefty missed much of the 2020 season with a left biceps strain and a left biceps nerve issue, but has thrown in seven games this spring and allowed four runs in 6 2/3 innings. Bummer has been a mainstay at the back […]
