MLB Closers and Saves Report - Week 10

This was an interesting week in the world of bullpens, as no closers outright lost their jobs, but a couple of teams saw the beginning of what might lead to a significant changing of the guard. Also, Craig Kimbrel is incredible and on an ever better pace (by most markers) than Eric Gagne was in […]

Week 10 Waiver Wire: Catchers

As far as catchers go, this season's been more confusing than the New York weather so far. They get hot for a brief bit and then get cold again just as quickly.

Week 10 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

I can’t tell if it feels like this season has been going on for six months or just six days. Everything still feels rather topsy-turvy with the increased turnover due to the 10-day DL, but I suppose that just leaves room for more intrigue and new characters to enter the limelight. For this week’s post, […]

Double digit week! It's already week 10 and this season is just flying by. We're almost approaching the halfway mark of the season for most leagues, and there are still many diamonds to be found in the waiver wire rough. This week I went off the 30 to 50 board and gave out a few […]

Finding the right player to fill your roster at first base or third base can make all the difference in deeper leagues.

The Case for Punting Saves Midseason

Over the first eight weeks of the 2017 season, 14 teams underwent a change in the closer’s role, whether as a result of injury or ineffectiveness.

Buy or Sell - Underowned and Overowned Players for Week 10

Now may be a good time to mention that I advocated picking up Justin Bour back on May 1, although in a different column. Rather than simply calling him a waiver wire pickup or streamer, I'm going all in on the big man. Never let it be said that I'm not an unabashed fan of […]

MLB Closers and Saves Report - Week 9

Another quiet week in the world of bullpens, and few fantasy owners will complain about that.

But, as always, it wasn't a completely quiet week, […]

Week 9 Waiver Wire: Catchers

Once again, it seems like catchers have about as much forward momentum, stat-wise, as Buster Posey did when he rushed out to protect Hunter Strickland after Bryce Harper charged the mound. Oh... wait. Anyways, when I open the statistics page for catchers, this is what I feel like doing when I see nearly the same […]
