Minor League Spotlight: Top Fantasy Prospects from Week 6

The Astros and the Cubs are eerily similar right now. Both are looking like they are on the verge of a potential postseason run for the first time in several years.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: We’re at the point where we need to start talking about Brandon Belt.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 51% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Souza was blocked in Washington, so the Nationals flipped him to the Rays over the winter.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues Ownership: 49% ANALYSIS: He’s far from a spring chicken or a trendy fantasy player, but Marlon Byrd’s strange late-career renaissance refuses to end.
