It's easy for fantasy managers to fall in love with a prospect's scouting report. They seem authoritative, especially if multiple scouting reports say the same thing. We generally don't see minor leaguers play that often, so scouting grades are all we have. Except they aren't. Fantasy managers don't care about tools but production, and every […]

Even four weeks of a fantasy baseball season is a small sample from which to make conclusions. Our fantasy baseball rosters might be feeling the impact of players who have started slowly, but the season is long, and we are only less than one-sixth of the way through it. When injuries or slow starts hit, […]

Fantasy managers need diverse skill sets to succeed in today's game. Top prospects can make a huge fantasy impact, but even mediocre names are frequently hyped up, and prospect lists don't emphasize the same need for immediate gratification that fantasy managers do. Is Nick Kurtz worthy of a roster spot? Figuring out when to cut […]

With his recent selection to the major league roster of the Seattle Mariners, Ben Williamson becomes who I believe to be the fifth 2025 MLB rookie position player from the 2023 MLB Draft class. Long a strikeout avoider, Williamson increasingly hit in the fourth NCAA Division 1 (D1) season of 2023 and over an immediate […]

Prospect callups are frequently among the most exciting events in fantasy baseball, and MLB clubs have started bringing up exciting names. Marlins catcher Agustin Ramirez went 20/20 with an advanced plate approach on the farm in 2024, and he's a catcher. Sort of. His defense is atrocious, and that could be a good thing for […]

We're still early in the fantasy baseball season, but it's always a good idea to consider when to let go of a struggling pitcher. The worst thing you can do for your fantasy baseball squad is hold on hope for too long to players off to slow starts. This is especially the case for starting […]

Second base felt like a weak position during draft season, but the waiver wire seems full of intriguing options. In Week 1, we looked at Kristian Campbell. In Week 2, we profiled Jonathan India.

When all we have to react to in a fantasy baseball season is two weeks of data, it's hard not to draw quick conclusions. Just because a player is on a hot streak or cold streak to start a season doesn't mean that's what the next six months will look like. But for some players […]

We've reached the second week of the 2025 MLB season, and as expected, Rafael Devers is not the worst player in the league. Players have twice as many games played (or more) than they did this time last week, but we're still working with tiny samples. You shouldn't blindly overreact to this season's stat lines. […]
