Champ or Chump: What to Make of Mazara, Papi, and Stanton

I have power on my mind this week, in part because I have relocated to Denver, Colorado, known to all fantasy owners as a hitter's paradise. Regardless of the reason, this week we look at the consensus #1 power hitter coming into the season, the final season of a Boston legend, and a 21 year […]
