Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 4

We are nearly a month into the fantasy baseball season and it is a prime time to buy in on players whose production could be legit/should be better, or hop off the sinking ships while there is still some semblance of hope. As we all should know, baseball is a game of ebbs and flows. […]

Buying and Selling the Young Friars

As a sport, baseball’s greatest cultural advantage might be its roots as a game which begins with the thaw of winter and the arrival of spring. There is nothing more generally inspiring for all fans than the promise of Spring Training and the potential growth of young players. That’s especially true when those prospects play […]

H2H Category Streamers - Week 4 Waiver Wire

There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes to get an advantage over their opponent. Heavy lineup, heavy starting pitchers, no catcher, all (or mostly) reliever staff, no reliever staff, etc. Even if you play a balanced lineup, injuries can cause holes.

When The Hype Train Derails

It begins innocently enough in the wintry depths of the offseason, with just a few industry scribes or regular folks in the fantasy community. Whispers of the next great hope, the prospect who was promised, the prodigal post-hype sleeper returned. Whispers turn to murmurs in short order. Last season's exit velocity surges and spin rate […]

Shortstop - The Under-Appreciated Glamour Boys of '19

Shortstop has long been a position comprised of the nobles and the bastards. People would flock towards the highborn and turn a frigidly cold shoulder to anyone else.

We're four weeks into the season and the search for good pitching in Boston continues. Being a White Sox fan, I know I don't have much room to speak about bad pitching, but you have to look at the silver linings every now and then. Silver linings like how Chicago only has the fourth-worst ERA […]
