Tampa Bay Rays Top MLB Prospects for 2016 Dynasty Leagues

The Tampa Bay Rays endured quite an interesting season in 2015. For a time, it looked like they could potentially win the division with a team that (outside of Evan Longoria) was filled with a lot of unrecognizable names. With Chris Archer, Drew Smyly, and Jake Odorizzi at the top of the rotation and Jake […]

Brad Miller (SS, TB) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

TARGET: 245 CURRENT ADP: 277 ANALYSIS: Steamer only projects Miller to rack up 475 plate appearances, though I really can’t see Tim Beckham pushing Miller out of the way that much. Last year for Seattle he hit 11 bombs and swiped 13 bags in 497 PAs. Safeco Field was 27th in Park Factor for runs in 2015, whereas […]

Toronto Blue Jays Top MLB Prospects for 2016 Dynasty Leagues

The Toronto Blue Jays had one of the best offenses since the Big Red Machine of the mid-70s. They had All-Star hitters at just about every position and where they didn’t, those hitters were still well above average. Then they went out and added David Price to their only weakness and it appeared that the […]

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Rankings for 2016 Fantasy Drafts

The Winter Meetings and all the action before it has been so fun to follow. How stacked is Arizona?! A rotation of Zack Greinke, Shelby Miller, Patrick Corbin, and Archie Bradley!

EPL Saturday Preview And Predictions

The end of a European Week and we paraphrase the great Meat Loaf '3 out of 4 ain't bad' in terms of qualification for the Champions League second stage.  Manchester United could be disrupted by Thursday night Europa League soccer and so it leaves the way open for Arsenal, Manchester City and of course Leicester […]

La Liga - Preview

The announcement this week that Gary Neville had signed a 5-month contract to take charge of Valencia until the end of the season elicited a plethora of emotions from the club's fans and local newspapers alike.

The New York Mets’ top free agent target this off-season is Ben Zobrist, according to FOX Sports. The only problem is that the defending National League champions will unlikely give him a four-year contract, according to ESPN.com. Zobrist will turn 35 early next season. If the Mets decide to give the utility player four years, […]

Spanish La Liga Preview

Arguably the most enticing fixture across Europe this weekend will be the first "El Clasico" installment as Real Madrid host reigning champions Barcelona at the Bernabeu.

The Mighty Fall: Jose Reyes and Hanley Ramirez

2015 marked a changing of the guard at shortstop, as the top three players at the position in offensive value (per Fangraphs) were rookies. In fourth place? Second-year man Xander Bogaerts, aged 23. The rise of youth dovetailed with the precipitous decline of two long-time fantasy stalwarts: Jose Reyes and Hanley Ramirez. Along with fellow […]

2015 In Review: Three Rookie 3Bs

The 2015 season featured an abundance of terrific performances. Here, we'll focus on the trio of fantastic freshmen at third base: Kris Bryant, Miguel Sano, and Jung-ho Kang.

The New Killer B’s: Betts and Bogaerts Break Out in Boston

The Red Sox were expected to contend in a wide-open AL East in 2015, in large part due to the performances of free agent acquisitions Hanley Ramirez and Pablo Sandoval.
