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!

Dallas Keuchel Looks Good In Final Spring Start

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel went five innings in his final tune up before the start of the regular season. Keuchel allowed five hits, two runs, no walks and struck out four versus the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. The veteran lefty is likely to open the season as the White Sox number two […]


Jason Heyward Has Yet To Hit A Home Run This Spring

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward has yet to hit a home run this spring. Heyward is hitting just .250 with one RBI and one stolen base thus far. The outfielder is one of the better defenders at his position and that will keep him in the everyday lineup. Heyward has a solid 2020 campaign with […]


Willson Contreras Remains A Top Option Behind The Dish

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras is hitting .263 with three home runs and eight RBI and a stolen base this spring. Contreras is projected to his in the number two spot in between outfielder Ian Happ and first baseman Anthony Rizzo. Contreras should have no issues scoring runs in that spot and is also one […]


David Bote Wins Second Base Job

Chicago Cubs manager David Ross has named infielder David Bote his starting second baseman to open the 2021 season. Bote beat out Nico Hoerner who had a very impressive spring and will get everyday at-bats in Triple-A to open the season. Bote will be backed up by veteran Eric Sogard to open the season, but […]


Trevor Williams Will Break Camp As Part Of Cubs Rotation

Starting pitcher Trevor Williams will slot in as the Chicago Cubs number four starter for the upcoming 2021 season. Williams signed as a free agent from the Pittsburgh Pirates this past offseason and has performed well with his new club this spring. Williams is 2-0 with a 1.32 ERA and 12 strikeouts with just one […]


Alec Mills Will Open Season In Bullpen

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Alec Mills will open the upcoming campaign in the bullpen. Mills lost out to Adbert Alzolay for the final spot in the rotation. Mills has really struggled this spring and has allowed seven runs, six walks and struck out four batters in 11 2/3 over four Cactus League starts. The Cubs […]


Adbert Alzolay Makes Cubs Rotation

Chicago Cubs manager David Ross has announced that right-hander Adbert Alzolay will be the clubs fifth starter when the 2021 season opens on Thursday. It wasn't too long ago that Alzolay, 26, was one of the top pitching prospects in the game and he has now beat out starting pitcher Alec Mills for a rotation […]


Kris Bryant Not Expected To Play Too Much Outfield In 2021

Chicago Cubs third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant isn't expected to play much outfield in 2021 according to manager David Ross. Bryant is traditionally a third baseman, but has seen time at the corner outfield positions throughout his career. With Jason Heyward and Joc Pederson set to be everyday starters in right and left field, Bryant will […]


Rowan Wick Throws 25 Pitches On Sunday

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Rowan Wick (intercostal) recently threw a 25-pitch bullpen session according to manager David Ross. Wick has been a nice piece of the Cubs bullpen over the last two seasons and there is no reason to believe that he won't continue that success when he is fully healthy. With Craig Kimbrel entrenched […]


Joc Pederson Continues Strong Spring

Chicago Cubs outfielder Joc Pederson continued his hot performance in the Cactus League by going 1-for-2 with two RBI and hitting his eighth home run of the spring on Sunday. The Cubs having an everyday opening in left field played a big part of Pederson coming over from the Dodgers and he has not disappointed […]


Cubs Will Option Nico Hoerner

The Chicago Cubs will option second baseman second baseman Nico Hoerner to Triple-A according to Jeff Passan of ESPN.com. This comes as a bit of a surprise with Hoerner hitting .361 this spring to go along with one home run, six RBI and three stolen bases. Hoerner also provides the best option defensively for the […]


Cubs Make Offer To Anthony Rizzo

Jon Heyman of the MLB Network is reporting that the Chicago Cubs are looking to extend first baseman Anthony Rizzo and have made an offer. Rizzo, 31, will be a free agent after this season and has previously expressed interest in remaining with the team. Heyman says that there is a gap and with Rizzo […]


Eloy Jimenez Exits Early On Wednesday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez left Wednesday's contest versus the Oakland Athletics due to left shoulder discomfort. Jimenez hurt his shoulder attempting to rob a home run. Jimenez will be reevaluated on Thursday and the club should have a better idea on the severity of the injury after that. The White Sox would likely […]


Billy Hamilton Signs Minor League Deal With White Sox

The Chicago White Sox have agreed to a minor league deal with outfielder Billy Hamilton. Hamilton was recently cut by the division rival Cleveland Indians and the speedster will look to earn a spot on the White Sox bench this upcoming season. Outfielder Adam Engel will be the biggest competition for Hamilton, but it is […]


Andrew Vaughn Goes Yard In Second Spring Game

Chicago White Sox first baseman/designated hitter prospect Andrew Vaughn went 1-for-2 with two runs scored, a home run, three RBI and one walk on Tuesday versus the Texas Rangers. Vaughn has now played in two spring games and has drawn three walks. The slugger is one of the top prospects in all of baseball and […]


Ian Happ Named Cubs Leadoff Hitter

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ will remain the team's leadoff hitter to start the 2021 campaign. Happ put together a fine season for the Cubs last year and earned the job after opening the 2020 campaign in the ninth spot of the order. Manager David Ross spoke about Happ on Tuesday and said that Happ […]


Adam Engel Dealing With Ankle Inflammation

Chicago White Sox outfielder Adam Engel (ankle) has been scratched from Tuesday's spring contest versus the Texas Rangers. The outfielder is dealing with mild inflammation in his right ankle and should be considered day-to-day for now. Engel hit .295 with three home runs and 12 RBI this past season and is likely to operate as […]


Jose Abreu Will Start On Tuesday

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu will make his spring debut on Tuesday versus the Texas Rangers. The reigning American League MVP had a late start to camp after testing positive for COVID-19. Abreu is coming off of his best season and is consistently a great source of power and average at the first […]


Yasmani Grandal Dealing With Right Knee Inflammation

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal (knee) will miss the first two games for the club this spring with right knee inflammation. Manager Tony La Russa said that Grandal twisted his knee running during drills. This doesn't seem to be overly concerning for the two-time All-Star and he should have plenty of time to be […]


Joc Pederson Looks Forward To Everyday Job

Chicago Cubs outfielder Joc Pederson is looking forward to having an everyday role with his new club this upcoming season. Pederson spoke on Friday and mentioned how he turned down multi-year offers from other organizations, but settled with the Cubs due to their vacant spot in left field with Kyle Schwarber being non-tendered and eventually […]


Javier Baez Looks To Prove Himself

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez struggled this past season and is looking to prove himself in 2021. The talented shortstop mentioned how last season was tough without fans in the stands and his inability to watch his at-bats with in-game video. Baez also felt rushed during the season and had issues with making adjustments throughout […]


Kyle Hendricks Expected To Start Opening Day

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks is likely to earn the Opening Day start when the club kicks off their season at home versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. Hendricks will pitch in the Cubs Cactus League opener on Monday and pitching coach Tommy Hottovy said that will put the pitcher on track for "the start of […]


Kris Bryant Open To An Extension

Chicago Cubs third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant is open to negotiating a contract to remain with the team. Bryant will be eligible to be a free agent for the first time after this season and with Scott Boras as his agent, Bryant is likely to command a large contract either with the Cubs or another suitor. […]


Tim Anderson Will Stay At The Top Of The White Sox's Lineup

Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa announced that shortstop Tim Anderson will remain the team's leadoff hitter in 2020. Anderson is coming off of an explosive 2020 that saw him hit .322 with 10 home runs, 21 RBI, five stolen bases and an .886 OPS in 49 games. Anderson has become one of the […]


Brennen Davis Gets Non-Roster Invite

Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Brennen Davis has been added to the Cubs Major League Spring Training roster as a non-roster invitee. Davis, 21, is a universal top 100 prospect and was part of the Cubs 60-man player pool this past season, but did not see any big league action. Davis has yet to play above […]


David Bote Part Of Cubs Second Base Competition

Chicago Cubs infielders Nico Hoerner, David Bote and Ildemaro Vargas will compete for the second base job this spring. Manager David Ross said that he isn't sure how the second base job will look to start the season, but said "All three of those guys can really play defense. Vargas is a switch-hitter we've got […]


Yoan Moncada Dealing With Arm Soreness

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada has been dealing with arm soreness and his throwing has been restricted so far in spring training. Moncada tested positive for COVID-19 prior to last season and said "It was very, very difficult for me to keep playing because I wasn't feeling like myself." Moncada finished the season […]


Michael Kopech Feels Good

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Michael Kopech said on Saturday that he feels "relieved" and that his arm is feeling as good as it has in a long time.

Cameron Maybin Returns To Cubs On Minor League Deal

Ian Happ Wins Arbitration Case

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ won his arbitration case against the team and will be paid $4.1 million this upcoming season.
