Fantasy Baseball Stock Watch: Opening Day Impressions

“This ain’t a football game, we do this every day,” said Hall of Fame manager Earl Weaver back in 1982. His words still ring true over 30 years later. It’s only one game, but it’s still exciting to have baseball back in our lives and it’s hard not to be excited right now. It can […]


Video: Analyzing the Top 5 Dynasty League Second Basemen (2B) For 2015 & Beyond

The 2015 fantasy baseball season is fast approaching RotoBallers. We are here to provide you with the most current and in-depth analysis every single day during the busy draft season, and the duration of the 2015 MLB season. Several times per week, RotoBaller co-founder Real Talk Raph will review the key player news and developments, as well […]


Asdrubal Cabrera (2B/SS, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only or Deep Mixed Leagues OWNED IN: 40% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Asdrubal Cabrera is not going to be the Asdrubal Cabrera we saw put up 25 and 17 in 2011, but that doesn't mean he can't help your fantasy team. Now a member of the Rays, Cabrera will have 76 […]


Alex Guerrero (2B/3B/OF, LAD) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Waiver Wire Stash In 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Alex Guerrero is simply not spoken about enough as a fantasy baseball commodity considering he is a 28 year polished hitter with an international signing bonus given only to superstar caliber players. Why is it that a potential middle infield/corner infield/outfield eligible* […]


Josh Harrison (2B/3B/OF, PIT) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft Target Mid Rounds in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Josh Harrison came out of nowhere in 2014 to set career highs in every single major offensive category and finished second in the National League in batting average at .315. With a full season under his belt, I expect year two as a regular starter […]


Odubel Herrera (2B/SS/OF, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / Draft Target Late OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Rule 5 pick is slated to open the season as the Phillies everyday center fielder and bat second in their lineup. He’s had a whirlwind offseason, winning the MVP of the Venezuelan Winter League, to now starting in Philadelphia. […]


Micah Johnson (2B, CWS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / Draft Target Late OWNED IN: 7% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: One of the hottest prospects in baseball, Micah Johnson’s sterling spring training has him positioned to open the season as the White Sox starting second baseman. His .455 batting average was trailing only Mike Trout’s .486 mark as of […]


Devon Travis (2B, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / Draft Target Late OWNED IN: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Acquired from Detroit in exchange for Anthony Gose this offseason, Travis arrived north of the border as one of the best contact hitters in the minor leagues, hot off the heels of a stellar campaign in which he batted .298/.358/.460 […]


Daniel Murphy (2B, NYM) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~130 Overall ANALYSIS: Daniel Murphy continues to be a low-profile fantasy player, producing solid numbers but not receiving his due from the fantasy community. His power and speed numbers digressed last year after his breakout 2013 campaign, but he ended up improving his AVG and OBP and increased his walk rate. Furthermore, he’s a lifetime .290 […]


Jose Altuve: 2015 Fantasy Baseball Rankings Analysis

ADP: 13.3 RANKING STATUS: Overvalued ANALYSIS: Last season, Jose Altuve took both the real and fantasy baseball worlds by storm. He was the big story for the Houston Astros as he led the majors with a .341 batting average and paced the American League with 56 stolen bases With Altuve entering his age-25 season, many […]


Top Five Breakouts from 2014 Due for Regression

Many hitters have great years that seem to come out of nowhere. Players like Todd Frazier and Dee Gordon who perform at a high level, creating the expectation that they can repeat that level of productivity. The difficult part of every hitter's breakout season is the follow up season. Was that breakout year a fluke? […]


Spring Training Stock Watch: Fantasy Prospects On The Rise

  Over the last several weeks, we have touched on a few of the bigger name MLB prospects who have impressed this spring, solidifying their status as some of the games premier up and coming stars, like Mookie Betts, Kris Bryant, and Joc Pederson just to name a few.   As we near the conclusion […]


Top Five Dynasty / Keeper Second Basemen

Last week, I completed my first ever slow draft. Instead of a typical 60 seconds to make your pick, slow draft gives up to 8 hours to make a pick. This style of drafting could possibly take a couple weeks rather than the standard couple of hours. Needless to say, slow draft completely took over […]


Age 27 Hitters Primed For A Big Season

The Called Shot, The Billy Goat & The 27 Year Old Throughout its long history, the game of baseball has been surrounded by legends and folklore. Many of us are familiar with Babe Ruth’s called shot, where he pointed to the centerfield bleachers and hit a home run to that very same spot on the next […]


2015 Fantasy Baseball Draft Strategy: How To Use Tiered Rankings

  What Are Player Tiers for Rankings? Over the last few years in fantasy baseball, the topic of player tiers or tiered rankings has become a trendy way to approach your draft. Often times, in real life, something that is trendy doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best course of action or the smartest idea. It […]


Dynasty/Keeper Deeper Dive: Devon Travis

It seems I have a thing right now for second base prospects picked in the 13th round. Just ask Micah Johnson. There haven't been many familiar names out of the top 300 picked in the 13th round these past ten years. The odds are not in favor of both Johnson and Devon Travis being successful. […]


Joe Panik (2B, SF) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~250 Overall in NL Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Panik, a former first rounder, joined the Giants in June after their experiment with Dan Uggla failed miserably. Panik does nothing special in terms of fantasy and his numbers are dependent on his AVG, but his minor league career shows that he can maintain a .300 […]


Fantasy Baseball Spring Stock Watch: Opening Day Is Almost Here

Can you believe it? We are less than one week away from Opening Day when Jon Lester and the Chicago Cubs square off with the Adam Wainwright and the St. Louis Cardinals. These two storied franchises are poised to write the opening chapter in a new rivalry on national television. The young upstarts, playing without […]


AL Only Deeper Draft Sleepers: Winter Hibernation Ends

The term sleeper is overused and commonly confused in fantasy sports. Too many people confuse the concept of a player being undervalued (i.e. a player getting drafted in the seventh round that is going to return fifth round value) versus a player being a true sleeper. When I think sleeper, I think Rip Van Winkle. […]


Hidden 2nd Base Draft Gems and ADP Value Picks

If you're looking to make a splash on draft day, you should give RotoBaller's ADP Draft Sleepers Tool a long, hard look. Part of our Premium Subscribers package, the Sleepers Tool allows you to compare a player's expected production against his top comparables going later in the draft. Frankly, it's a great resource for identifying […]


Top Five Shortstop Sleepers for 2015: Fantasy Baseball Rankings Analysis

  Five Undervalued Shortstops for 2015 So you've had a great draft, taking the best player available in each round. You are reasonably certain you will contend in all categories, and then you remember that you still need to fill a SS and MIF slot and it is Round 17. Ugh. While shortstop can be a […]


Scooter Gennett (2B, MIL) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft Target Late in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Scooter Gennett now holds the reigns at second base for the Milwaukee Brewers, since Rickie Weeks has departed. He's flying under the radar in most fantasy drafts with an ADP of 283, even thought many people feel he could end up being a top 10 player in a weak position. I tend […]


Three Batters Who Will See a Home Run Decline in 2015

Power Drought Coming? Each MLB season, the power numbers of certain hitters decrease. As fantasy players, we wish we could have seen it coming. In 2014, big names like Evan Longoria, Adrian Beltre, and Robinson Cano saw large dips in their home run numbers, each falling by more than 10 round trippers. Role players like […]


Auction Draft Strategy: How to Manage Your Budget

We previous looked at Part 1 (How to Prepare for Auction Drafts) and Part 2 (Five  Key Mistakes to Avoid Making) of our Auction Draft Strategy series. Today we look at how to budget your team's salary. The most important strategy for auction drafts is how to budget your allowance. Keeping track of how your dollars are […]


Top Five Second Base Sleepers for 2015: Hitters Who Will Outperform Their ADP

  Five Undervalued Second Basemen for 2015 You've got the strongest pitching staff in your league. Your outfield is stacked. You make sure to pick up a catcher early, pick up a hard-hitting first baseman, and - oh no - all of the decent second basemen are gone. It's common knowledge that one must focus […]


Neil Walker (2B, PIT) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~160 ANALYSIS: Neil Walker has been providing enough value to fantasy owners in recent seasons to warrant an ADP higher than 176. Yes, he has missed time due to injuries in the past three years, but he is still second in HR (53) among second baseman during that span. Aside from speed, Walker is going to be […]

Fantasy Baseball Spring Training Stock Watch: Veterans On The Rise

Earlier in the week here in the RotoBaller Stock Watch, we took a look at some fantasy prospects on the rise, who have a legitimate shot to break camp with a starting gig in-hand. A pair of prospects who we didn’t mention in that space, who went out and dominated on Wednesday night were Carlos […]


10 Bold Predictions for the 2015 Fantasy Baseball Season

  For the last few years, the staff over at RotoGraphs has been publishing their "10 Bold Predictions" series. These are typically among my favorite reads in the realm of fantasy baseball - and considering how much content I devour, that's saying something.   Since imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and all, I'm […]


2015 Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Top 300

Back in February, seven of the RotoBaller writers put together their consensus fantasy baseball rankings. Today, I'm branching out on my own to bring you RotoBaller's Top 300 for the 2015 fantasy baseball season. There's a number of players whom I like or dislike more than the expert consensus, so I'll add in a little bit of my […]
