Unexpected Dynasty Risers - Hitters

Every year in dynasty league drafts fantasy managers will target young future stars, prospects which rank highly among all prospect rankings. There's a tendency to overdraft/overpay for these high-end prospects as fantasy folks are drawn to the new and shiny things much like kids get gooey-eyed for the newest toys each Christmas. While this is […]

Champ or Chump: Jake Cronenworth

It was widely known before the season that the shorter schedule would favor fringe contenders, and no team has taken better advantage of it than the San Diego Padres. They needed Fernando Tatis Jr. to continue producing like a star despite less-than-stellar peripherals in his rookie season, and he has. They needed Eric Hosmer to […]

The Baller Ranks have a new player at number two, and his name is not Tatis, Yellich, or Acuna.

Jose Iglesias Reinstated From IL, Had Been Set To DH

Baltimore Orioles shortstop/designated hitter Jose Iglesias was activated off of the injured list Thursday and was set to serve as the DH against Tampa Bay prior to the game’s cancellation. Iglesias has been battling a strained left quad for much of 2020, which has relegated the slick-fielding shortstop to take up DH duties. The hope […]

Dodgers Add Gavin Lux

The Los Angeles have added middle infielder Gavin Lux to their roster for Game 2 of a doubleheader against the Giants. This was expected as he had been traveling with the big league squad. Lux is acting as the 29th man and his time may be short. Lux remains one of the best middle infield […]
