Minor League Spotlight: Top Fantasy Prospects from Week 16

This wait before the deadline is killing me. As a Reds fan, I am waiting for them to begin the fire sale and see what kind of prospects they can get for players like Johnny Cueto, Mike Leake, Jay Bruce, Marlon Byrd, and maybe Aroldis Chapman. I will also be eager to see some of […]

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Rankings for Fantasy (Week 16)

This next month is going to tell a lot about the future of Kyle Schwarber. With Miguel Montero injured, Schwarber will be tasked with catching (not all the time however). This is his opportunity to prove to Cubs management that he can catch at the MLB level. His defensive skills will not be great, but if they […]

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Rankings for Fantasy (Week 15)

At this point, the MLB trade market is a big factor in whether the remaining MLB prospects will get called up before September, and with which team they will play. Guys like Aaron Nola will see much of their value come from players ahead of them in the depth chart being dealt. Other names like Alen Hanson […]

Minor League Spotlight: Top Fantasy Prospects from Week 13

For all fantasy owners of Steven Matz, we have been dealt some bad news. Yes, we, because I was someone who owned him as well. Matz will miss the next several weeks with a lat injury which will really put a damper on what has otherwise been a tremendous start to his Major League career. […]

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

As promised, I am going to fill you all in on the recent news involving recovering starting pitchers, Dylan Bundy and Jameson Taillon. Bundy will be shut down indefinitely, which does not necessarily rule him out for a possible call-up this year, but it certainly pushes the time table back. Jameson Taillon on the other […]

Minor Leagues Spotlight: Top MLB Prospects for Fantasy from Week 12

Unsurprisingly, Joey Gallo was sent back down to Triple-A when Josh Hamilton was activated from the DL. Gallo performed as expected at the majors: flashed tremendous power and demonstrated that he isn’t ready to face Major League pitching on a regular basis. Gallo hit five home runs in 25 games, but he hit .218 and […]

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

Steven Matz was finally called up. It was a little bit earlier than I had expected, but he made his MLB debut last Sunday. He threw quite well, but really dazzled with the bat, going 3-3 and driving n four runs. Did I ever mention that he can hit? Probably not. Matz finished the day […]

Stock Watch: Let's Go Streaming, Starting Pitcher Pickups

We've reached that point in the season when current production outweighs our pre-season expectations or what we thought we knew about a pitcher. The starters at the back end of fantasy rotations are the most volatile assets on the entire roster. They can be easily discarded after a bad outing, or ride a hot streak […]

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

Just a quick heads up about two of the names on this list. Domingo Santana is still listed even though he's on the active roster. He's expected to be sent down once Jacob Marisnick returns from a short DL stint. It's a similar story with Kyle Schwarber. He will be sent down on Monday. To be clear, […]

Minor League Spotlight: Top Fantasy Prospects from Week 11

That trade between the Atlanta Braves and the Arizona Diamondbacks is very odd to me. In case you missed it, The DBacks traded an injured and old Bronson Arroya and 19 year-old pitching prospect Touki Toussaint for utility man Phil Gosselin. That Diamondbacks must have seen something that most people don’t in Gosselin. Or maybe they […]

Minor Leagues Spotlight: Top Fantasy Prospects from Week 10

Several top prospects are currently in the middle of brief stints in the Majors before returning to Triple-A. Those prospects would be Kyle Schwarber and Domingo Santana. Cubs President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein has confirmed that no matter how well Scwarber performs, he will be sent down. Santana has a chance to earn some […]

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

Wow. What a week for prospects. To start things off, Carlos Correa got called up and performed well in his first start ever against Chris Sale. Then it was announced that Byron Buxton, surprisingly, would be called up. Then it was Francisco Lindor getting called up, just a few hours after the Buxton announcement. If you have been […]

This season has seen a lot of baseball’s top prospects get the call to the majors. Names like Carlos Rodon, Kris Bryant, Addison Russell, and now Carlos Correa.

Carlos Correa Roundtable: Fantasy Outlook, Projections & Analysis

Here at RotoBaller, we have discussed Carlos Correa at length over the past few days and weeks, and the MLB top prospect was finally promoted to the Astros on Sunday. After going 1-for-4 with an RBI in his major league debut, he followed that up by going 2-for-4 with a home run, stolen base, one run scored and […]

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

One of the highest touted prospects in baseball was called up a few days ago. The prospect was Joey Gallo, and he was called up in the wake of Adrian Beltre’s injury. He had a 33.6% strikeout rate at Double-A this season, and a 39.5% rate the year prior, to go along with all the […]

Jose de Jesus Ortiz of the Houston Chronicle reports that the Astros have called up top prospect Carlos Correa to the majors, and he will be ready to play today against the Sox. Correa, 20, is the number one prospect in the Astros system, and is number two in the league behind the Twins' Byron Buxton. Houston, who […]

Minor League Spotlight: Top Fantasy Prospects from Week 8

Balbino Fuenmayor (1B/3B, KC, Double-A) Stats: .365/.402/.602, 10 HR, 1 SB, 4.6% BB rate, 17.5% K rate Balbino Fuenmayor has the unfortunate distinction of being able to play two positions, and also being blocked by two potential All-Stars at both positions. He couldn’t even play DH for the Royals because of the great play of […]

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Rankings for Fantasy (Week Nine)

In case anyone had any questions about Eduardo Rodriguez’s value in the majors, allow me to help answer them. The Red Sox are currently using a six-man rotation to help them decide which starter will become the odd man out, and odds are it will be Steven Wright. Masterson is out due to an injury, […]

Dynasty / Keeper Deeper Dive: Aaron Judge

  You be the Judge I remember a time when the Yankees farm system was among the most barren out there. Today it's still not quite the best, but it does have some nice pieces. The Yankees are going to need those prospects to live up to their potential to compete. Once such player is the […]

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Rankings for Fantasy (Week Eight)

I feel like I need to clarify a name that can be found later on this list, each week that I do this Fantasy Prospects Power Rankings series. That would be Jameson Taillon. Taillon has yet to throw a pitch at any professional level since early 2014 while recovering from Tommy John surgery. Prior to […]

Fantasy Baseball Week 7 Stock Watch: Prospect Stash List

Prospects are an essential part of any keeper or dynasty league. Keep in mind - they are also a valuable commodity in re-draft leagues if you have a keen awareness of which prospect's value is on the rise and can make an immediate fantasy impact once he gets the call. This week's edition of the […]

Dynasty / Keeper Deeper Dive: Jesse Winker

There are some exciting outfield prospects out there. I already introduced you to Joc Pederson, whom has been tearing it up so far in the majors. I'm sure you know by now about Byron Buxton, and maybe someday I'll write an article about him. However, I'm not sure if you know about Jesse Winker. He […]
