Didi Gregorius (SS, NYY) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 34 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Coming into this season, Didi Gregorius had established himself as a glove-first shortstop with little fantasy value. Even at a (formerly, anyway) thin position, he ranked 20th or worse in all five of the standard categories. 2016 has been a […]

Wow what a bunch of big time promotions. Alex Bregman, David Dahl, Tyler Glasnow (and then to the DL). Talk about some star power!

Poetry in Motion: The Maturity of Jon Gray

Jon Gray isn't a rookie. OK, that's a lie because technically he is, but you know what I mean. The man (he's almost 25 years old for crying out loud) is pitching like a seasoned veteran and yet I keep seeing him mentioned as a streaming option or waiver option. It's a travesty that we […]

A 15 game slate in which every game takes place under the lights is a thing of DFS beauty.

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies (Week 16)

Who would have guessed that the first person promoted from the promising 2015 draft would have been Carson Fulmer? I mean no offense to Fulmer, but he had a 4.76 ERA, 4.16 FIP, 9.31 K/9, 5.28 BB/9 and 0.72 HR/9 in Double-A. Those numbers are certainly not terrible, but I don’t know if they are […]

Melvin Upton Jr. is better than his brother. OK, that's a bit obvious this year, so how about this?
