Minor League Hitter Stashes for Fantasy Baseball - Hard Hit Leaders

It seems like more and more of the impact prospects are impossible to land in fantasy baseball unless you are willing to spend massive amounts of money in waivers or can get ahead of stashing a player long before he makes his mark. This is where I think the value lies. Too often, we stash […]

Texas Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien went 1-for-4 with a single, a run scored, and a strikeout in a 2-0 win over the Seattle Mariners on Friday. This one was a pitcher's duel as Luis Castillo and Jon Gray both dominated the game. It was Castillo who cracked first, however, as Semien led off the […]

Romy Gonzalez Could Stick As Starter At Second Base

Chicago White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said he's not inclined to mix and match his way through the second base situation.

Andrus is expected to come […]
