Ryan O'Hearn (1B, KC) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~450 CURRENT ADP: ~589 overall ANALYSIS: O’Hearn struggled to hit last season with a meager .195 batting average, but the 26-year-old clubbed 14 home runs in 105 games. Over his 149-game Major League career, O’Hearn has proven himself to be a legitimate power threat with a 90.8 mph average exit velocity, […]

Sam Chinitz's 10 Bold Predictions for 2020

Bold predictions can be the key to fantasy seasons. Predicting players who will outperform or underperform expectations by extreme amounts can win leagues. Bold predictions can also be entirely unhelpful, speculative thoughts that are just fun to consider. With that in mind, I do think that each of these predictions has a legitimate chance of […]

Edwin Encarnacion (1B/DH, CHW) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~150s CURRENT ADP: ~170 overall ANALYSIS: Edwin Encarnacion continued to defy Father Time during the 2019 season. While his .244 batting average and 21.2% K-rate were mediocre, the 37-year-old managed to blast 34 home runs and pick up 86 RBI in just 418 at-bats split between the Seattle Mariners and New […]

2020 Fantasy Baseball Busts? Danny Santana

The Texas Rangers finished the 2019 season with a record 0f 78-84, which was good for a third-place finish in the American League West. The finish was actually above preseason expectations and now has the team looking to make a push forward in 2020. The Rangers have plenty of youth and have brought in the […]

Roto Strategy - Is Punting Steals a Good Idea?

In fantasy baseball, there are two scoring categories that are somewhat exclusive to a certain type of player: stolen bases and saves. Saves are obvious; only closers can earn them. As such, fantasy owners must decide how important that category is to the overall construction of their roster. If we value the stat, we'll draft […]

Spring Training Bullpens: Where The Stats Are Made Up and Saves Don't Matter

Spring training stats, traditionally, don't matter. Teams that look like powerhouses in March will lose 100 games in the regular season. Teams that can't even win against split-squad opponents in March will win their divisions in September. Hitters who hit .100 with 0 home runs will be in the MVP race. Pitchers who can't finish […]

Four Late-Round Fliers for Runs

Run production is a valuable stat in all fantasy baseball formats, but it is not always an easy stat to predict. Locating solid run production late in drafts becomes even more difficult. Ideally, you want players who will hit at the top of lineups that are expected to score plenty of runs and can get […]

Yahoo ADP Comparison - Overpriced / Underpriced Players

Average Draft Position (ADP) is a must-have piece of information when it comes to drafting.

Now, instead of just talking about total ADP […]
