Jonathan Schoop: 2015 Fantasy Baseball Second Base Sleeper

  Can Offseason Adjustments Unlock Potential? Set to be the starting second baseman for the Baltimore Orioles, Jonathan Schoop definitely has the potential to be an everyday fantasy starter in 2015. I don’t believe that 2014 was a good indicator of his entire skill set, as he hit .209 with 16 homers, 45 RBIs, and […]

Kolten Wong: 2015 Fantasy Baseball Second Base Sleeper

  Wong Could Have a Breakout Sophomore Campaign OBP is not a standard category in the majority of fantasy leagues. It is, however, scored in both of my main leagues, and its value in real baseball is well established. Even in standard leagues, looking at OBP and underlying plate discipline metrics is useful, and I […]

Shelby Miller: 2015 Fantasy Baseball Starting Pitcher Sleeper

  Shelby Miller is Likely to Bounce Back in 2015 One of the biggest shocks of the offseason was when the Atlanta Braves shipped Jason Heyward and Jordan Walden to the St. Louis Cardinals for Shelby Miller and a prospect. Miller is entering his third full season in The Show at age 24. He is […]

Melky Cabrera: Underrated MLB Veteran & Fantasy Baseball Outfielder

Melky Cabrera: A Questionable Past Melky Cabrera will be joining his sixth team this spring after signing a three-year, $42 million dollar contract with the White Sox. Cabrera is coming off a good season with the Blue Jays in which he hit .301 with 16 HR and 73 RBI. His strong performance undoubtedly helped him to […]

Kevin Gausman: 2015 Fantasy Baseball Starting Pitcher Sleeper Candidate

  Is Kevin Gausman A Starting Pitcher Sleeper? The sudden emergence of the Baltimore Orioles after a decade and a half as the doormat of the AL East is one of the more surprising recent developments in baseball. Most expected Dylan Bundy to be a linchpin for them by now after being selected with the fourth […]

2015 Dynasty / Keeper Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Second Base

  Second base is one of the more interesting positions to me personally. It's not the deepest in terms of known commodities, but there are a lot of young guys who could make an immediate impact. The trouble was ranking those who haven't seen any major league action. Below are the results. Editor's Note: Be […]

Yasiel Puig: 2015 Fantasy Baseball Stud

It's Time To Face Your Fears The only thing to fear about making Yasiel Puig a high pick in your fantasy baseball draft is Yasiel Puig himself. Blessed with talents on loan from a higher source, Puig has all the tools necessary to be considered a perennial five tool player. The question remains, does he […]

Shane Victorino: 2015 Fantasy Baseball Outfield Deep Sleeper

2015 Could be a Bounce-Back Year for Victorino Looking at the current Red Sox 2015 outfield, there are plenty of guys who will be sharing at bats. Heading into Spring Training, the Sox will have recent signings Hanley Ramirez and Rusney Castillo entrenched as regulars, as well as Daniel Nava, Allen Craig, Shane Victorino and youngsters […]

Orioles Acquire Travis Snider

The Baltimore Orioles have had major setbacks in their outfield this off-season. They were not able to resign Nelson Cruz, who ended up signing with Seattle. They also said goodbye to long time Baltimore staple Nick Markakis, who signed with the Braves. In their first addition to their 2015 outfield, the O's today made a […]

Carlos Carrasco: 2015 Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Bust

  Despite a Strong Second Half in 2014, Carlos Carrasco Isn't Worth Drafting in 2015 It's a safe bet that few, if any, players have been analyzed as much as Carlos Carrasco in the last six months. That tends to happen when a pitcher who was banished to the bullpen early in the season suddenly morphs […]

Oakland's Catcher Platoon: 2015 Fantasy Baseball Catcher Sleepers

  Stephen Vogt and Josh Phegley Both Figure to be Sleepers in 2015 The magical world of Billy Beane and platooning every position on the diamond does not seem to be fading anytime soon. One of the more interesting platoons last year was the catcher platoon of Derek Norris, John Jaso, and Stephen Vogt. The […]

Drew Smyly: 2015 Fantasy Baseball Starting Pitcher Sleeper

  A New Approach in Tampa Bay Makes Drew Smyly Worth Drafting Drew Smyly is a riddle wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in a mystery, wrapped in a Rays jersey. His size, pitch velocity and, most importantly, his strikeout totals get fantasy GMs excited, but his platoon split issues made Smyly a part time fantasy […]

Nationals Make Stephen Strasburg Available

The Nationals signed the biggest of all the free agents this off-season in Max Scherzer. The move prompted plenty of trade rumors surrounding Washington starters Jordan Zimmerman and Doug Fister, both of whom will be free agents at the end of the season. However, a new name has been thrown into the pot, one that […]

Kevin Gausman: 2015 MLB Fantasy Starting Pitcher Sleeper

  Kevin Gausman – Worth the Hype in 2015? Sporting a fastball that averages 95 mph and often sits just shy of 100, and a splitter that misses bats at a high rate, Kevin Gausman will likely be a popular sleeper pick in 2015 fantasy baseball drafts. But is he worth the hype? This author thinks his […]

Yusmeiro Petit: 2015 Fantasy Baseball Starting Pitcher Sleeper

Yusmeiro Petit: Sleeper Or Illusion? Yusmeiro Petit shined for the Giants in 2014. As a spot starter and long reliever, he logged 117 innings with a 3.69 ERA, setting a new MLB record for most consecutive batters retired in the process. With Bruce Bochy apparently open to the idea of Petit wrestling a rotation spot […]

Christian Yelich: 2015 Fantasy Baseball Outfield Sleeper

  Christian Yelich: Deceptively Good Christian Yelich is an intriguing player. He's a former first round pick and top prospect. He's posted high BABIPs and walk rates at every level, including the majors. He's got good instincts and ability in the field and on the base paths. At 6'3", 200, he's got the kind of […]

Collin McHugh: 2015 Fantasy Baseball Starting Pitcher Sleeper

  Can Colin McHugh Replicate His Breakout 2014? Nobody had Collin McHugh on their fantasy radar prior to 2014. Around this point last year, McHugh was designated for assignment by the Rockies and picked up by the Astros. At the time, his small sample performance in the majors was a 0-8 record with an 8.94 ERA, […]

Dylan Bundy: 2015 Fantasy Baseball Prospect

  Background Between Dylan Bundy’s injuries and Kevin Gausman’s ascension, it is easy for non-Orioles fans to forget about or discount Bundy. Opposing GMs have not, as most reported trade rumors note a request for Bundy. Those discussions end shortly thereafter and with good reason. When healthy, Bundy is potentially a generational talent. While Gausman is […]

Cole Hamels Not Likely To Be Traded by Phillies

At the annual winter banquet hosted by the Phillies’ Double-A affiliate in Reading, PA, General Manager Ruben Amaro Jr. provided a big update on the future of the biggest name in this off-season’s trade market, Cole Hamels. “I think Cole Hamels is going to be in our uniform, frankly," Amaro stated. "I don’t really foresee […]

Chase Utley: 2015 Fantasy Baseball Second Base Sleeper

  Chase Utley's First Half of 2014 Makes Him a 2015 Sleeper Candidate There’s something inherently flawed with how we rank fantasy baseball players. For fantasy amateurs, draft day is simply going through a top 250 player ranking and drafting the next best available player based on need. But once you’ve been around the block […]

Join the 2015 RotoBaller Fantasy Baseball Reader Leagues

2015 Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Closers

It's a love/hate thing. Closers are essential in most fantasy baseball leagues, yet the best closers in the game can go all post-midnight Cinderella in the blink of an eye, while the junky relievers you'd never think of drafting can go from forgotten waiver wire fodder to saves goldmine overnight. This is the position that makes you pull your hair […]

T.J. House: 2015 Fantasy Baseball Starting Pitcher Sleeper

  T.J. House is a Break Candidate for the Late Rounds in 2015 Of all pitchers who threw at least 100 innings in 2014, only two possessed ground ball rates above 60%. One was Dallas Keuchel, Houston's young ace who took the league by storm last year, throwing 200 innings with a 2.93 ERA. The other […]

Jacob deGrom: 2015 Fantasy Baseball Starting Pitcher Sleeper

  2014 Rookie of the Year is Poised to Take a Step Forward in 2015 Starting pitcher Jacob deGrom was one of the best mid-season fantasy baseball waiver wire pickups of 2014. Originally expected to work out of the Mets bullpen, deGrom gave many fantasy baseball owners a much needed jolt to their pitching lineup […]

Max Scherzer Signs With The Washington Nationals

If the Washington Nationals weren't already the front-runners in the NL East, they certainly are now. Max Scherzer, the top prize of the 2014-2015 MLB free agency, has landed in the District of Columbia. He has signed a seven year deal worth $210 million. The Nationals, who already had one of the deepest rotations top […]
