Top 50 Prospects for Fantasy Baseball Redraft: Week 7 Rankings

September is here and the trade deadline dust has settled. It’s now time for teams to make that late push either to make the playoffs or to gain home-field advantages. The Rockies lost two players off the list this week. Sam Hilliard graduated from the list after surpassing the 130 at-bat mark in the Majors. […]

Hot Prospects To Watch: Hot Hitters and Hurlers

2020 Starting Pitcher K% Increases

We're somehow halfway through the 2020 season and judgments need to be passed. Every statistic has a point where it is said to begin to stabilize and become more useful than it is not. For pitcher's strikeout-rates, that point is after they've face 70 batters. Note that it's "begin to stabilize", not "stabilize".  These statistics […]

For the first time this year, we have a new player atop the rankings of the Top 50 Redraft Prospects for 2020.

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Week 6

Most fantasy teams know where they stand entering week six of this condensed fantasy baseball season.

Tigers Trio Ready to Make an Instant Impact?

This past week has been the most eventful period for the Detroit Tigers organization for quite some time.

Rays' two-way player Brendan McKay has been removed from the list after news broke Tuesday afternoon that stated the prospect will be undergoing […]

The New Big Red Machine

For some, the nickname Big Red Machine conjures up fond memories of former WWE superstar and current Knox County, TN mayor Kane (real name Glenn Jacobs). However, the mere mention of the Big Red Machine in the mid to late 1970s made many big league pitchers shudder in fear at the prospect of facing a Reds […]

Kyle Tucker May Be Arriving

Coming into this season, Kyle Tucker was widely viewed as an intriguing outfielder due to his prospect pedigree and power-speed profile while hitting in a stacked Astros' lineup. Tucker slashed .266/.354/.555 with 34 home runs and 30 stolen bases in 536 plate appearances at Triple-A last season, leaving fantasy players drooling over his upside. Tucker […]
