Champ or Chump: What to Make of Pomeranz, Beltran, and Lucroy

The non-waiver trade deadline has officially passed, and baseball fans were treated to a number of last second deals. Unfortunately for my purposes, most of them are RPs that I evaluate by whether they get saves. Washington's Mark Melancon and Chicago's Aroldis Chapman earn Champ tags from me as they figure to continue earning saves. […]

Poetry in Motion: The Discipline of Martin Prado

Martin Prado has the patience of Buddha. The only difference is that he carries around a big wooden stick and strikes things violently with it. A lot. Prado nearly has the highest Contact% in the majors at 91.4%. Can you guess who's first? Hint: you'll never guess. That's why I asked. Read every single last […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (8/4/16): MLB DFS Advice

I have to say, twelve games on the slate is pretty pleasing for a Thursday. I'd love a few more to be on the Main contest, but a five-seven split makes things pretty interesting for both slates - and FanDuel has an All Day option as well. As far as any insights we might pull […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (8/2/16): MLB DFS Advice

I can't believe the trade deadline has come and gone and we've already reached August. The baseball fan in me is excited as this is when the pennant races really start to heat up, but the daily fantasy player in me is a little sad we've got roughly 8-10 Tuesdays left. Tuesday, in my opinion […]

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies (Week 17)

Talk about some serious prospects reaching the majors. In one week, Tyler Glasnow, Lucas Giolito and Alex Bregman (finally) were all promoted to the big leagues. Of course, Glasnow made one start and promptly found himself on the 15-day DL, but still it is incredible to see so many top guys promoted. Everyone knew Bregman […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (7/24/16): MLB DFS Advice

FanDuel has contests that avoid the Colorado Rockies and Atlanta Braves game at 4:00 PM EST, but that is so pointless. There is a ton of great value in that game, and it would be unwise to avoid it. Strategy changes a bit, but play the "all day" contests. In this article, I will be […]

Week 16 Waiver Wire: Catchers

The All-Star break is over and it's been hard to get back into the swing of things. Well, many of the catchers have been able to use that excuse for a large portion of the season. We're back looking for gold in all this patch of dirt. Anyway, we're in the second half of the season and […]

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 […]

Dynasty League Review for Week 16: Yulieski Gurriel and More

I think I've (temporarily) run out of Cubs prospects to hype. Well that's note quite true, I'm pointedly ignoring a couple. Chicago's seemingly featured prominently in every edition of the Dynasty Review. Of course, the guys I've already profiled are still going strong. Ian Happ, Eloy Jimenez, Jeimer Candelario, and others will provide a potent […]
