Welcome to the second installment of “Top 50 Pitching Prospects for Redraft Leagues.” Last week we looked at 2015 fantasy baseball pitching prospects ranked 50-41. The players on this week’s list, numbers 31-40, are a step up from the last group. We have some guys who are considered top prospects and others who could have a chance to […]

2015 Dynasty / Keeper Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Starting Pitchers (Part 1)

This is part 1 of my dynasty starting pitcher rankings for fantasy baseball. We are deep into dynasty season here at RotoBaller, and we've already analyzed dynasty rankings for Third Base, Catcher, Shortstop, First Base, Second Base and Outfield Part 1 and Part 2. In standard drafts, ignoring starting pitchers until late is fine. There are plenty of quality arms littered throughout […]

Eye On The Minors: Top Redraft MLB Pitching Prospects (# 41-50)

  Tasked with ranking the top 50 MLB starting pitching prospects for redraft leagues, I found out real fast that preseason prospect lists for fantasy baseball probably shouldn’t be this long. The fact of the matter is, there aren’t that many MLB rookie pitchers who make an impact in any given season, let alone an […]

2015 Dynasty / Keeper Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Outfield (Part 2)

This is part 2 of my dynasty rankings for fantasy baseball. We looked at part 1 last week, and before that we analyzed dynasty rankings at Third Base, Catcher, Shortstop, First Base, and Second Base.  These rankings are for a fresh dynasty draft where you are primarily drafting to win but also strongly considering the future upside and downside of […]

Carlos Rodon: 2015 Fantasy Baseball Starting Pitcher Sleeper

  If Rodon Cracks the Rotation, He Will Make an Impact in 2015 At some point this season, Carlos Rodon will be a member of the Chicago White Sox. It remains to be seen whether or not he will be a part of the Opening Day roster. Furthermore, the jury is still out regarding his […]

2015 Dynasty / Keeper Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Outfield (Part 1)

I'm breaking up this dynasty / keeper league rankings article into two parts. It has to be done. To give any sort of depth in the outfield position, you at least have to rank 50-60 outfielders. I ranked 60 in total, and this article will cover the first 30 on my list. Remember, these are my […]

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 […]

2015 Dynasty / Keeper Fantasy Baseball Rankings: First Base

  Dynasty Rankings at First Base Over the past few weeks, we have gone through our dynasty fantasy baseball rankings for catcher, third base, and shortstop. Today we bring you the top dynasty / keeper league first basemen. First Base is one of the deepest positions in fantasy baseball.  There is an abundance of power to draft at first in […]

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 […]

2015 Dynasty / Keeper Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Shortstop

  Dynasty Rankings at Shortstop Over the past few weeks, we have reviewed our dynasty fantasy baseball rankings for catcher and third base. Today we bring you the top dynasty / keeper league shortstops. I bet over the last few years people have missed the early 2000's. At least in regards to fantasy shortstops. There […]

Mookie Betts: 2015 Fantasy Baseball Second Base / Outfield Sleeper

  20/20 Potential Makes Mookie a Player Worth Betting On I voiced my qualms with the sleeper designation in my first article for RotoBaller. Moving into 2015, few players prove my point more than Mookie Betts. While highly-touted teammate Xander Bogaerts labored through a disappointing rookie season, Betts thrived in his debut, posting a .291/.368/.444 […]

2015 Fantasy Baseball Strategy: Sell High on Madison Bumgarner

  Stop the Madness: Now is the Time to Deal Madison Bumgarner Buy low and sell high. It’s a simple motto to understand, but nearly impossible to live by. The challenge is recognizing what’s the peak and what’s the valley. Back in 2011, I tried to use this strategy on the stock market. (Uh-oh.) I just […]

2015 Dynasty / Keeper Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Catcher

  Dynasty Rankings at Catcher After opening the series with third base, it's time time to rank the next position in my dynasty baseball series - catcher. This is not the most glamorous position to rank. Catchers don't play as many games as the other positions, but there is still something to be said for obtaining a top tier backstop. […]

2015 Dynasty / Keeper Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Third Base

  Dynasty Rankings at Third Base I promised I'd do something between the end of my football articles and the beginning of my regular season baseball articles right? Well here is the project I'm working on. Fellow RotoBaller writer Zach Wilkens and I are starting up a dynasty baseball league in January, which has me very […]

MLB Hot Stove 2014: Jon Lester Chooses The Chicago Cubs

After an intensely-contested long process, it came down to two teams: his previous club whom he won two World Series Championships with, or an interestingly resurgent one that has grabbed the attention of everyone in baseball this offseason despite five consecutive fifth-place finishes in their own division. In the end, stud left-hander Jon Lester went […]

Eye on the Minors: Prospects, Rookies and September Call-ups

  MLB Prospects & Call-Ups This week, I took to the phones and email to try to get a scoop on which prospects will get called up when rosters expand to 40 players on September 1.

Francisco Lindor: MLB Rookies, Prospects & Call-Ups Evaluation

  MLB Prospect & Future Call-Up If I were an MLB prospect, I would hate the trade deadline. Almost every guy is mentioned in a tweet or rumor as trade bait that will ultimately leave them on a below .500 team (see: Addison Russell and Noah Syndergaard). But for Indians shortstop prospect Francisco Lindor, he couldn’t have asked for more during […]

Starting Pitcher Rookie Sleepers: Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

Jacob deGrom, Marcus Stroman, Yordano Ventura and Jesse Hahn are the only rookie starting pitchers with at least 10 starts that are owned in more than 50% of Yahoo! leagues, but they aren't the only rookies performing at a high level in 2014. Five other pitchers currently sit with an ERA below 4.00 in their […]

  Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups Top MLB prospect Javier Baez has been called up to The Show, and made his major league debut last night for Chicago Cubs .

Eye On The Minors: Trade Deadline & MLB Prospects On The Move

With the whirlwind of activity at the non-waiver trade deadline this past Thursday, we saw the big names like David Price, Jon Lester and Yoenis Cespedes change teams. But looking at the transaction wire, or hearing reports on TV, there are always the unnamed minor leaguers who come to teams as throw-ins or for organizational depth. […]

Archie Bradley: MLB Rookies, Prospects & Call-Ups Analysis

  Can Someone Please Call Me Up Already? I’m going to paint you a picture: imagine you are the top pitching prospect of the 2014 season. Your team is at the bottom of their division and in desperate need of a momentum shifter. So why in all holy hell have you not debuted this season […]

Taijuan Walker: MLB Prospects, Rookies & Call-Ups Evaluation

Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups Taijuan Walker finally made his long awaited 2014 debut. His debut in the Seattle Mariner's rotation this year hit a few road bumps early on, as the former first rounder from 2010 dealt with a shoulder injury to start the season before beginning the year in AAA. In 6 AAA starts, Walker worked […]

Mookie Betts: MLB Prospects, Rookies & Call-Ups Evaluation

Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups Mookie Betts made his major league debut recently after skyrocketing through the minors in early 2014. While showing he has what it takes to make it in the majors, and solidifying himself as a top MLB prospect, clearly the offensive struggles of the Red Sox along with Betts’ willingness to play the […]

Eye On The Minors: Top 10 MLB Prospects Reviewed

With Gregory Polanco mercifully called up to the Pirates on Tuesday, there are probably not many players left in the high minors who will make a major impact for your fantasy baseball leagues this season.
