Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper? Justin Morneau

(This article was recently updated based on current ADP trends) Justin Morneau could be good. Sigh, what’s there to say about a former MVP who is still only 31 and just two years removed from a half-season where he batted .345 with 18 HR and 56 RBI? Is he another Jason Bay-- i.e., someone whose […]

After releasing rankings at each position, RotoBaller.com presents to all of you our Top 100 players for the 2013 Fantasy Baseball Season.  While this is a pretty good approximation of the expected value we think each of these players will return, the rankings also consider draft strategy.

Q&A: I have 16th Draft Position after Keepers - Who Should I Target?

Question Submitted to RotoBaller >> Name: Charly Fantasy Baseball Question:  I have the 16th draft position in a 16 team keeper league.  My keepers are Miguel Cabrera (1st round), RA Dickey (5th round) and Mike Trout (16th round).  I would like advice on who to target with my first four picks at the following draft positions: […]

Fantasy Baseball Draft Prep: Jon Niese

Jon Niese is coming off a solid 2012 campaign that brought him onto the fantasy radar. He had strong across the board numbers – 13 wins, 3.40 era, 1.17 WHIP and 155 K’s. The Mets are counting on Niese to continue his upward trajectory and RotoBaller likes Niese for a modest move forward in the […]

Fantasy Baseball Draft Prep: Yovani Gallardo

Yovani Gallardo, coming off a 17-win season in 2011 and a 16-win season in 2012, is becoming a model of fantasy consistency, which is to say an above-average pitcher who will contribute solid (if unspectacular) overall stats. Now entering his age-27 season, he should continue to solidify himself as a #3 fantasy pitcher who will […]

Fantasy Baseball Draft Prep: Josh Hamilton

Josh Hamilton had a career season in 2012-- a .285 average 43 HR, 128 RBI, 103 R and 7 SB-- that no one seems to be talking about. Instead, there is a lot of focus on his second-half swoon and his sour departure from Texas. Fact check: his second half was a drop-off, but not […]

Fantasy Baseball Draft Prep: Jose Altuve

Jose Altuve is coming off a solid first full season that saw him bat .290 with 80 R and 33 SB. Those are very solid numbers for a 22-year-old player who had just 221 AB before the start of 2012, especially in the pitiful Houston Astros lineup, and we saw that Altuve is a very […]

Fantasy Baseball Draft Prep: Jason Kipnis

  Jason Kipnis is entering 2013 as a trendy pick thanks to the overall solid stat line he contributed in his 2012 breakout campaign. His 76 RBI placed him fifth among all 2Bs, and his 31 SB were topped at the position only by Jose Altuve. He finished the first half with All-Star caliber numbers: […]

Fantasy Baseball Draft Prep: Starlin Castro

  Starlin Castro is a very good and very consistent ballplayer. He’s not a "great" ballplayer, at least not yet, and he probably won't make the jump in 2013. Several years ago he came into the league with too much hype, and too many people expected him to put up numbers similar to the late-1990s […]

Fantasy Baseball Draft Prep: Todd Frazier

  Todd Frazier will most likely be one of the last guys on your roster. In a 12-team league, there are twelve better options, so you don’t necessarily want to target him as your starting 3B. BUT he can still contribute to your fantasy success, and has the potential to be a 2013 sleeper. Frazier […]

Fantasy Baseball Draft Prep: Salvador Perez

  This year’s catching pool has a lot of enticing players-- players that make you think you know something more than other owners and that you are about to steal a sleeper. Mid-career players who you imagine are going to put it all together and break out ::cough:: Matt Wieters ::cough::. Young players who could […]

RotoBaller's 2013 Fantasy Baseball Strategy: When in Doubt, Go with Position Flexibility

When in doubt…Go with flexibility. Much like when choosing that special someone at a bar, for fantasy position players, when in doubt, go with flexibility.  As the game of baseball evolves, teams are looking for players that are more athletic and capable of playing more than one standard position. Multi-position eligible players are more valuable […]

One-Tool Fools

  I’m calling out all fantasy owners who have Elvis Andrus types in their Top 50 or 75 rankings -- enough with your teenage fetishes about these one-tool wonders! Base stealers like these chumps can certainly run, if that's the kinda thing you're into... but they can't do much else. Their net impact on your […]
