Champ or Chump: What to Make of Jones, Puig and Scherzer

My plan was very simple. Last week I profiled three struggling aces, intending to shift over to slumping bats this week. Then Scherzer decided to strikeout 20 Tigers amid concerns that he was off to a slow start, so I felt I should look at him. Thus, we have two slumping bats and whatever you […]

Week 6 Buy and Sell for Fantasy Baseball

Good week on the buy side, as Ian Kennedy shut down the Indians and Marcus Semien went deep twice.
