Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 21 (Part 1)

It’s not easy being a statistics nerd. It’s even rougher being a baseball nerd. Talking baseball with family and friends is difficult.

Minor League Spotlight: Top Fantasy Pitching Prospects from Week 20

Mike Fiers could be one of the best under the radar trades at the deadline. And I’m not just saying that because of the no-hitter, though that may have some influence on why I am now discussing him.

Champ or Chump: What to Make of Desmond, Shields, and Lester

Nothing can tank a fantasy season quite like an early round champ performing like a chump. I was personally burned by Jon Lester's horrific 2012 season, and have not been able to trust him since. James Shields in 2015 reminds me a lot of 2012, and I'm sure Ian Desmond would as well if I […]
