Dynasty Review: Deep Fantasy League Advice for Week 10

The MLB draft kicks off in just a couple days.

Baller Move: Add in all leagues Owned in: 57% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: When a player is eligible at four positions, it automatically warrants attention, just for the mere practicality; but when Jose Ramirez starts his first 165 AB of the season off with a .315/.384/.461 slash line with five stolen bases, it warrants razor […]

Baller Move: Add in all leagues Owned in: 20% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: With nine home runs, four stolen bases, and a slash line of .270/.352/.548 in just 126 AB, it is hard to believe that this brother of a "Splash Brother" is making just $513,000 for the Dodgers this season.
