In baseball, opportunities are a zero-sum game. Events like the trade deadline don't create opportunities since there are still no more than 90 starting outfielders and 30 closing gigs. For every player who gains an opportunity, another loses it. Astute fantasy managers need to pounce on new opportunities while casting the losers aside. The Jesus […]

Baseball has such a long season that we have many opportunities to do this; some may even argue we do it too often. But a player's value can fluctuate as wildly as the stock market from week to week. […]

So you've deftly maneuvered your way through the first half of the season, starting with a successful draft, or perhaps you're at the other end of the spectrum, fighting and clawing your way to the final playoff spot in your league. Regardless of where you're at and how you got there, you're preparing for the […]

Fantasy managers care about prospect pedigree when evaluating young players, and many top prospects go on to have great careers. However, we have to remember that pedigree is not essential for fantasy production. Whit Merrifield was never a huge prospect and still put up quality fantasy seasons. Such players are even more undervalued if they […]

All-Stars aren't a fantasy category, but it still feels great when your roster has more than your rivals. Granted, all All-Stars aren't equal for this purpose. If Aaron Judge didn't perform like an All-Star, his fantasy managers would likely be in trouble. Similarly, an All-Star first half doesn't necessarily translate to fantasy production in the […]
