Last week, I wrote about some of my favorite lightly rostered players to invest in for the second half. Included in that group was Chicago rookie Braden Montgomery, whose recent surge in production happened to coincide with his crossing of the 100-at-bat threshold that has often been a benchmark for when rookie hitters start to […]

The trade deadline is only a few days away, which means we should see several top prospects make their major league debuts soon.

Welcome Back, RotoBallers! I'm back for the third day in a row, and it was a better outing yesterday. Jac Caglianone went yard in his second AB, and leave it to the Padres to switch up their pitching rotation for the second day in a row; that being said, German Marquez is projected once again... […]

Cincinnati Reds outfielder JJ Bleday is batting .231/.339/.470 with 18 home runs, 45 RBI, 40 runs, and six stolen bases through 331 plate appearances.

More importantly, Bleday's 10.8% barrel rate, 42.1% hard-hit rate, and .468 expected slugging percentage support […]

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Tibbs III has slowed down recently after a hot start to the season. Tibbs III has been at Triple-A Oklahoma City the whole year and has hit .209 in June and .254 in July after starting the season by hitting .326 in May. He has still shown nice power […]

The San Francisco Giants "could offload" outfielder Heliot Ramos at the trade deadline, per Jeff Passan of ESPN. Passan reports that "some teams" view Ramos as a "solid flier."
