Points League Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2

There is no getting around that playing head-to-head points with weekly matchups is a difficult proposition in a 60-game season. There are only 10 weeks to play so that makes for a regular-season made up of just five or six matchups. Obviously, that will be a roller coaster of insanity for any leagues keeping the […]

Marwin Gonzalez Hits Solo Homer

Minnesota Twins outfielder/infielder Marwin Gonzalez hit his first home run of the 2020 season in a 14-2 rout of the Chicago White Sox. Gonzalez, like the Twins, had a quiet day offensively on Saturday, going 0-for-3 with a walk. Sunday was an offensive explosion for the team and Gonzalez' home run in the ninth inning […]

The Early Cut List (Week 2) - Time to Let Go?

Welcome back to the Cut List. Writing this column at this exact moment is an interesting exercise because most cuts are either: really obvious, on account of a player opting out of the season or an injury that will cost several weeks; or the opposite of obvious, on account of no one has played more […]

Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates for Week 2

Injuries are commonplace in all sports. Baseball has seen the rate of injury continue to rise over the past few years. In fantasy, if someone is not in the medical field, it is hard to gauge how long a player will be out and whether they need to be replaced in a lineup. Sometimes this […]

Matt Olson Delivers Walk-Off Grand Slam

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson started the season with a bang, or rather a slam as his extra innings homer lifted the A's past the Angels on Opening Day.

First Impressions - MLB Opening Day 2020 Fantasy Notes

I can't remember being more excited for an Opening Day than this one. Although Thursday, July 23 was technically the first day of the 2020 MLB season, Friday is when 28 of the 32 teams took the field for the first time for regular-season play. Never have I been happier to fire up MLB Extra Innings […]

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy was 3-for-4 with two solo home runs and three runs scored during Friday's 9-1 win over the San Francisco Giants. Muncy took Tyler Anderson deep in the first frame, before doing the same to Kevin Gausman in the sixth inning. The 29-year-old is a brilliant fantasy option, having slashed […]

San Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer went 3-for-4 with two doubles and six RBI on Opening Night against the Arizona Diamondbacks. After singling early, Hosmer later laced consecutive clutch bases-clearing two-baggers to secure the victory for the Friars. The huge offensive night is a major boost for the maligned first baseman and if Friday […]

Jesus Aguilar Goes Yard In His Marlins Debut

Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar hit a home run in his Marlins debut on Opening Day. Aguilar ended up 1-for-5, but that one was a two-run blast off of Phillies starter Aaron Nola. Aguilar had a rough season last year, but it was only a year before that when he hit 35 home runs […]
