2016 Fantasy Baseball Tiered Starting Pitcher Rankings: Midseason Edition (Part 2)

If you missed Part 1 yesterday, clicky clicky. As a reminder, these rankings were a collaborative effort between yours truly and fellow columnists/handsome devils Nick Mariano and Bill Dubiel.

Of course just a few days after I write my recently promoted prospects article and say that no major prospects will be promoted before the All-Star Break the Pirates promote first base prospect Josh Bell and the Nationals promote Trea Turner.

Mid-Season Dynasty Prospect Rankings: Shortstops

If you came to me eight years ago and asked about the depth at shortstop, I would tell you that aside from a few stud prospects, the shortstop position did not look great. There weren’t a lot of impact bats and there were mostly just some slick defenders at the position. Now all of that […]

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies (Week 14)

Welcome back RotoBallers. How about that last week of action for the Washington Nationals and their pitchers? Top prospect Lucas Giolito was finally called up. Then Stephen Strasburg came off the DL and pitched a gem. Joe Ross was placed on the DL after a noted loss in velocity late in his last start against the Cincinnati […]

Today we are bringing you our […]

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies (Week 13)

For the second consecutive week, a couple of prospects made headlines with promotions to the big leagues. First baseman A.J. Reed debuted for the Houston Astros on Saturday. The New York Mets promoted outfielder Brandon Nimmo in the wake of Michael Conforto’s demotion to Triple-A. And lastly the Pirates promoted two prospects: pitcher Chad Kuhl and shortstop […]

Mid-Season Dynasty Prospect Rankings: Third Base

Ah third base. Home of shortstops who lack the range to play up the middle and first basemen with too much athleticism to be wasted at first. This is where you will find a lot of power bats and future middle of the order hitters. Some of these guys will shift to first base in […]

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies (Week 12)

Wow! What a flurry of promotions all made over one week! Jameson Taillon was promoted and is likely up for good; Blake Snell was called up for good (probably); Cody Reed was called up for good; Jose Peraza was called up (could return to the minors, though unlikely) and Willson Contreras was promoted (more than […]

Mid-Season Dynasty Prospect Rankings: First Basemen

First base has generally been where the league’s best hitters are found. These are advanced hitters like Joey Votto, Miguel Cabrera, and Paul Goldschmidt who can hit for power, hit for average and take their share of free passes. They are middle of the order power hitters with 40-home run capabilities like Albert Pujols and […]

Mid-Season Dynasty Rankings: Catcher

For the longest time, if you could find a shortstop who could hit, you found a rare commodity. Nowadays, the shortstop who can hit is starting to become much more common and the offensive-minded catcher is becoming extinct. If a catching prospect can hit, more often than not his defense is going to be poor. […]

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies (Week 11)

A couple of pretty good prospects were called up this week. One was sent down just as soon as he came up, and another looks like he is here to stay. The one brought up and then down: Jameson Taillon, who started against the Mets, only to be demoted right after that start. The one to […]

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies (Week 10)

Just to answer a question I have received a lot right at the top: I do not know when the exact Super Two deadline is. The day varies each year and no one has released a specific date for it. Just so you have a general date to keep in mind, last season Carlos Correa […]

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies (Week 9)

This could be one of the last weeks for a lot of the names on this list. With June right around the corner, many of the players on this list will be promoted as soon as the Super Two deadline passes. Guys like Jameson Taillon and Trea Turner will be promoted in an effort to […]

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies (Week 8)

Colin Moran was finally promoted in an effort to actually provide some positive production out of the third base position. He is by no means a must-own prospect and could actually himself be replaced by Alex Bregman who is absolutely tearing up Double-A right now. But based on his track record, Moran could provide fantasy […]

Dynasty Review: Deep Fantasy League Advice for Week 8

Welcome back to the Dynasty Review. The purpose of this column is to advise you on up-and-comers in dynasty leagues.

This week, let's take a closer look at […]

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies (Week 7)

I continue to be very impressed by the way Brandon Drury has played to open up this season. He is batting .298/.323/.532 with six home runs and has been a major boost to many fantasy teams so far. Other players too like Corey Seager and Nomar Mazara have really helped owners to stay one step ahead […]

Welcome back to the Dynasty Review. The purpose of this column is to advise you on up-and-comers in dynasty leagues. Last week was Phillies themed. This time the Astros take center stage.
