Week 10 Waiver Wire: Catchers

We're now 10 weeks into the season and the state of catching still leaves a lot to be desired. As of this writing, there still has not been a catcher to crack the 10-homer mark and the top mark of 32 RBIs was 23 behind the Major League leader. One of the main reasons I […]

Last week’s recommendations worked out pretty well. On the buy side, Joey Votto hit .318/.464/.727 with two homers and three (!) stolen bases. Scott Kazmir had his outing against the Braves cut short by leg cramps and didn’t post great ratios. He still struck out a batter per inning and got a win, though. Moving […]

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

Five Dynasty Standouts: 2016 MLB Draft

It is always very exciting for me as a baseball fan and prospect analyst to see the MLB Draft coming back around.

Week 10 Waiver Wire: First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)

Week 10?! That can't be right.

Champ or Chump: What to Make of Castellanos, Bogaerts, and Abreu

Another day, another hitting streak that I don't care about for a Boston player. This time it's Xander Bogaerts, a shortstop that I dismissed in the preseason for lacking obvious fantasy skills. Jose Abreu is another guy I never really cared for, as he never posted a FB% that made me trust his impressive HR […]
