One of the last three dynasty rankings articles in the regular season, this article will be focusing on starting pitchers from the National League. One thing you all will probably notice is that there is more depth here than in the American League. There are also many more of these arms that are nearing or have already […]

At this point, fantasy drafts should just be just about wrapping up. The start of the NFL season is this Thursday when the reigning Super Bowl Champion Denver Broncos take on the reigning runners-up Carolina Panthers in a rematch of Super Bowl 50. But if you are still prepping for a last minute draft or […]

Well guys. We’ve made it to September. The MLB Ready Top 30 Prospects list is over because rosters have officially expanded. Now, it is time to tell you who is in the big leagues that needs to be added. In another article, I will cover 10 other names who have yet to be promoted who […]

Welcome back RotoBallers. This will be last Top 30 fantasy prospect rankings columns before rosters expand, and will likely be one of the last article series formatted like this until the offseason. As I mentioned in the last article, there are some players who definitely have September value and most of these guys will be valuable to […]

Before you start raising riots and asking for certain guys, I want to go ahead and throw out the two names that would be one and two on this list had innings limits not prevented them from being here. Blake Snell no longer qualifies as a rookie and Jose Berrios has pitched exclusively as a […]

I want to preface this article by saying that there are literally only two players I advise owning in any format on this list. Sure, some of these guys may be intriguing, but there are two standout players and there are others who are on there just because I have spots to fill. But if […]

What a week for prospects! Dansby Swanson was promoted by Atlanta, Yulieski Gurriel was promoted by Houston and Alex Bregman is starting to look like a stud again. Obviously there are going to be some owners scared of Gurriel just because every Houston Astros’ prospect promoted this season has struggled early, but the recent hot […]

Take a look at some of those Astros’ prospects starting to produce. A.J. Reed has hit three dingers already and Alex Bregman followed up his first career bomb with another one the following day. Sure Joe Musgrove got roughed up a bit, but a) It came against Baltimore and b) He has been stellar to […]

Geez, Mookie Betts. That guy is too good. In general, just how about that Boston Red Sox outfield? They’ve got Betts in right field who can do everything imaginable. They’ve got Jackie Bradley Jr. in the midst of a breakout season, who can also do everything. And they also have Andrew Benintendi who has yet […]

Welcome back RotoBaller, to another edition of our rookie roundup. After an awe-inspiring week of offensive prospect call-ups, this week has seen three consensus top pitching prospects promoted. Though some of the bats are a bit lacking, these are some arms who could play a big impact on fantasy teams looking to help themselves out […]

Since I split up the two leagues, I thought that it would work out well to merge the two and briefly discuss the top-20 overall so dynasty owners know where everyone fits in. The descriptions for each player are not going to be particularly long and if you want a full scouting report, you can […]

Talk about some serious promotions lately. Andrew Benintendi! Orlando Arcia! And that is just naming two of them. Unfortunately, it is unlikely we shall see another week like that again. At least, not until September. There aren't any real clear promotions on the horizon except for a few names. With that said, it is still important […]

Wow what a bunch of big time promotions. Alex Bregman, David Dahl, Tyler Glasnow (and then to the DL). Talk about some star power! But the big headlines obviously are going to circle around the Indians who acquired ace reliever Andrew Miller, but failed to complete a deal for Jonathan Lucroy after he used his no-trade […]

What an unbelievable week for prospect promotions. Alex Bregman, Lucas Giolito, Joey Gallo, David Dahl, Tyler Glasnow! The real question is really, who wasn’t promoted this week? And the crazy thing is that next week could have even more top prospects reach the majors, as big league rosters continue to be shaken up as a result of […]

The second of two dynasty rankings for the outfield position, this list covers only American League outfielders. And going over the list, I think the American League has the more exciting outfield prospects than the senior circuit. Now don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of great outfielders on both sides and so many […]

Talk about some serious prospects reaching the majors. In one week, Tyler Glasnow, Lucas Giolito and Alex Bregman (finally) were all promoted to the big leagues. Of course, Glasnow made one start and promptly found himself on the 15-day DL, but still it is incredible to see so many top guys promoted. Everyone knew Bregman […]

So there have not been a lot of major promotions made this past week, but the next week and a half should see some serious roster shake-ups. With the trade deadline looming ahead, it seems that it is only a matter of time until some top prospects find their way into starting roles. One guy […]

Who would have guessed that the first person promoted from the promising 2015 draft would have been Carson Fulmer? I mean no offense to Fulmer, but he had a 4.76 ERA, 4.16 FIP, 9.31 K/9, 5.28 BB/9 and 0.72 HR/9 in Double-A. Those numbers are certainly not terrible, but I don’t know if they are […]

Before we dive too much into the outfield prospect rankings, I just want to give up a quick heads up to the readers on how the remaining prospect rankings lists will go. Because there are so many pitching and outfield prospects, each article will be split up by league and each list will contain 20 […]

I hope everyone had a great All-Star Break because I certainly did. First watching Alex Bregman tear it up at the Futures Game, then witnessing Giancarlo Stanton blast several miles worth of bombs in the Home Run Derby and finally watching the All-Star Game on Tuesday. It was quite a memorable All-Star Break and some […]

This is the second consecutive week that a Top-10 pitching prospect has been promoted to the big leagues. Top Pirates’ prospect, Tyler Glasnow, made his Major League debut Thursday against the Cardinals after his promotion following Jameson Taillon’s placement on the 15-day DL. With the All-Star Break next week, fantasy owners should not expect to […]

Welcome back RotoBallers. How about that last week of action for the Washington Nationals and their pitchers? Top prospect Lucas Giolito was finally called up. Then Stephen Strasburg came off the DL and pitched a gem. Joe Ross was placed on the DL after a noted loss in velocity late in his last start against the Cincinnati […]

For the second consecutive week, a couple of prospects made headlines with promotions to the big leagues. First baseman A.J. Reed debuted for the Houston Astros on Saturday. The New York Mets promoted outfielder Brandon Nimmo in the wake of Michael Conforto’s demotion to Triple-A. And lastly the Pirates promoted two prospects: pitcher Chad Kuhl and shortstop […]

The second (technically third) edition of the weekly promoted prospects list had a tough act to follow after the last issue covered the top prospects called up between the previous two editions. That included guys like starting pitchers Julio Urias, Blake Snell and Jameson Taillon as well as near-superstar catcher Willson Contreras and speedy shortstop […]

Ah third base. Home of shortstops who lack the range to play up the middle and first basemen with too much athleticism to be wasted at first. This is where you will find a lot of power bats and future middle of the order hitters. Some of these guys will shift to first base in […]

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote an article where I examined the recently promoted prospects and gave analysis on the value they would have for fantasy owners. I am officially rebooting that article series and it will now become a weekly article. This week, since I have not done the article in a while, […]

The second base does not quite get enough credit for some of the talented players it has produced. Guys like Robinson Cano and Dustin Pedroia have been outstanding leaders at the position while others like Jason Kipnis, Brandon Phillips and Ian Kinsler have quietly also provided very solid value for both their teams and fantasy […]

Wow! What a flurry of promotions all made over one week! Jameson Taillon was promoted and is likely up for good; Blake Snell was called up for good (probably); Cody Reed was called up for good; Jose Peraza was called up (could return to the minors, though unlikely) and Willson Contreras was promoted (more than […]

First base has generally been where the league’s best hitters are found. These are advanced hitters like Joey Votto, Miguel Cabrera, and Paul Goldschmidt who can hit for power, hit for average and take their share of free passes. They are middle of the order power hitters with 40-home run capabilities like Albert Pujols and […]

For the longest time, if you could find a shortstop who could hit, you found a rare commodity. Nowadays, the shortstop who can hit is starting to become much more common and the offensive-minded catcher is becoming extinct. If a catching prospect can hit, more often than not his defense is going to be poor. […]
