David Hamilton - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: David Hamilton, SS/2B, Boston Red Sox ANALYSIS: You could say that David Hamilton is running wild this season, even at a better pace than his 70-steal season in 2022.

Austin Gauthier Reaching Base With Ease

Los Angeles Dodgers prospect Austin Gauthier is a talented infielder who signed with the club as an undrafted free agent in 2021.

Jordan Westburg - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Jordan Westburg, 2B/3B/SS, Baltimore Orioles ANALYSIS: I'm honestly not sure what Baltimore is waiting for when it comes to Jordan Westburg. While Adam Frazier hasn't exactly been terrible offensively, it's not like he's lighting the world on fire with his .240/.330/.375 slash line either. Meanwhile, Westburg is slashing .333/.395/.593 in Triple-A with eight home runs and […]
