Is Trea Turner Still the Top Player in Fantasy?

Not to sound like Captain Obvious, but it is safe to say that baseball is a very interesting game with a lot of complex intricacies.

Cristian Yelich Continues To Slump

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich's 80 ADP on draft day seems preposterous at this point. Ironically, he has reduced swinging strikes and made more contact this season.

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm hit a double and scored two runs in Tuesday’s loss against Atlanta Braves. He has safely recorded a hit 20 times in 24 games in May.
