Samuel Gomez - RotoBaller

12 articles

In Major League Baseball, certain players are considered especially interesting. In the fantasy news world. the dedicated writers who investigate up to date news are members of an elite squad known as RotoBaller contributors. These are some stories.

Articles

Alex Wood Will Produce in 2016

There are no real “flame-throwers” in the Los Angeles Dodgers rotation for the upcoming 2016 season, but a lack of speed doesn’t equate to a lack of quality. Alex Wood was a young pitcher on the Braves that the Dodgers targeted via trade, and has since proven to be an effective back end of the […]


Hyun-Jin Ryu Could Provide Sneaky Value in Return From Injury

Hyun-Jin Ryu enjoyed two successful seasons after coming over to the Dodgers from Korea. A shoulder injury that the Dodgers were apparently aware of prior to signing him led to surgery which kept him from pitching during the 2015 season. The hope is that Ryu will come back pain-free for this upcoming season and re-establish […]


Justin Turner Should Remain A Consistent Option in 2016

After a few mediocre seasons with the Mets, Justin Turner turned it all around and found success in Los Angeles where he batted .340 in 2014 and .294 in 2015. While the major dip in average may be alarming, it came with a significant increase in power as Turner blasted 16 HR in 2015, more […]


A Grand Return for Yasmani Grandal

Not many catchers have the ability to hit 20 HR at the major league level. Limited to only 115 games in 2015, Yasmani Grandal proved his name deserves to be on such a list. While he won't start many more than 115 games in 2016 even if he avoids injury (simply due to a catcher's need […]


Can Joc Pederson Produce for an Entire Season?

At only 23, Joc Pederson is clearly one of the best young talents in baseball. Already having a full season under his belt should serve him well as he attempts to continue the success he enjoyed in the first half of the 2015 season where he clobbered 20 HR despite batting only .230. In the […]


Kenta Maeda Not the Dodgers' Savior

Many pitchers have come from Japan with hopes that their talent will transfer to the big leagues in America. The Dodgers are looking to make this splash in the international market a big one as Kenta Maeda joins them after posting a dominant 2.09 ERA last season in Japan. While there have been a number […]


Drafting for Safety or Potential: The Corey Seager Dilemma

What Corey Seager lacks in experience he certainly makes up for in potential. The Los Angeles Dodgers #1 overall prospect and opening day shortstop is looking to build upon a magnificent showing during his September call up in 2015. In just 27 games Seager batted an astounding .337 with four HR, eight Doubles, a Triple, […]


Rolling the Dice on Yasiel Puig

After being limited to just 79 games in 2015 due to a nagging hamstring injury, Yasiel Puig is looking to stay healthy and showcase why he was praised just a few short years ago for his big league potential. As the table setter at the top of the Los Angeles Dodgers order, Puig has managed […]


Retiring Chase Utley From Fantasy Rosters

While Chase Utley opted to lace up his cleats once again on a one-year deal with the Dodgers, his ability to stay healthy and produce for the duration of an entire baseball season is still up in the air. Utley rode a wave of mediocre seasons throughout his 30's, ultimately leading up to a dismal […]


Kenley Jansen Pitching for Payday

After hearing about the potential Aroldis Chapman trade to the Dodgers, Kenley Jansen was reportedly upset about ultimately losing his role as closer. Fortunately for Jansen, and those drafting him, that deal fell through, and he will indeed be the Dodgers closer once again. Jansen managed only 52.1 IP last season due to a minor […]


A-Gon Shouldn't Be Gone Too Early

In any fantasy baseball draft the pool of players at first base is always the deepest. This provides ample time to fill other needs before settling on a lesser player when unable to draft Paul Goldschmidt or Miguel Cabrera. There are a surplus of first basemen that are capable of hitting over 25 homeruns and […]


Clayton Kershaw Unanimously #1, Obviously.

It doesn’t get much better than Clayton Kershaw. In 2015 he posted 232.2 IP, 2.13 ERA, 301 SO, and my personal favorite--a 1.99 FIP (which points to his level of dominance and disregards possible defensive issues). Kershaw is the best there is, arguably the best there was, and possibly the best there ever will be; […]
