Jazz Chisholm Optioned to Triple-A

The Miami Marlins optioned shortstop Jazz Chisholm to Triple-A. Chisholm was impressive this spring and has tons of upside, but he was never expected to make the team coming out of spring training.

Cleveland Releases Christian Ki‎rksey

The Cleveland Browns released veteran linebacker Christian Kirksey on Tuesday. The team had been trying to restructure his deal, which called for him to earn $7.75 million in 2020.

Breakout Relievers Who Will Keep Improving in 2020

The closer role is one of the most volatile positions in fantasy baseball. They can lose their fantasy value with a couple of blow-up performances. Teams are also electing to utilize a committee approach, often using their best reliever in high-leverage situations rather than cementing them to the ninth inning.  This makes it imperative to […]

Adam Eaton (OF, WAS) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

James White Proves the Value of Low-Volume, Highly-Productive Backs

I was reviewing the 2019 fantasy season results yesterday when I stumbled upon something that caught my attention. I filtered all of the players to log a game this past year by position, looked at running backs, and discovered that James White was the only RB inside the top-25 scorers at the position to have […]

2019 Busts Who'll Keep Junking it Up - Infielders

Nothing grinds a fantasy owner's gears quite like a bust. Well, maybe unpaid league dues, but busts are a close second. It doesn't feel good to stare at your lineup all-season and watch a high draft pick torpedo your team's chances at glory. Spurned owners tend to avoid the players who've burned them, but a […]

Batters on a Diet: Sweet-Spot% Fallers

Last week, we talked about players who increased their proclivity to hit the ball between eight and 32 degrees in a stat known as sweet spot percentage.

Eric Samulski's 10 Bold Predictions for 2020

I've read these columns for years, so it's kind of surreal to be putting out my own. As somebody who constantly over-analyzes, I tend to be less risky in my fantasy decisions because a part of my brain always walks me back from the ledge. With that in mind, I tried to mix up the […]
