Fantasy Life Vests: Safe Hitters In A Season Of Chaos

Chaos is the name of the game when it comes to the 2020 Major League Baseball season.

Trent Grisham (OF, SDP) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues OWNED IN: 20% of leagues ANALYSIS: Last year, Trent Grisham spent most of his time in the Minor Leagues, making him a somewhat unknown commodity.

Updated Top 50 MLB Prospects for Redraft Leagues

After a long wait, the 2020 MLB season is almost here. But it’s also going to be a season unlike any season we’ve ever seen. This year is going to feel more like a sprint rather than a six-month marathon. If you’re a fan of prospects — or simply looking for a competitive edge in […]

Chris Paddack Tapped For Opening Day

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of leagues ANALYSIS: Wil Myers is coming off a very disappointing 2019 season where his strikeout rate rose to a career-high 34.3% while his batting average fell to a career-low .239. While those were both disappointing stats, Myers was still able to power his way to 18 […]

Relief Pitchers to Target in 2020 Drafts

Closers and Saves Report: Summer Camp Edition 2 - Handcuffs

It's a whole new ball game. Literally. Baseball is going to be weird this season, folks. Only 60 games. (Almost?) all in the same time zone. Tons of games against the same teams. The DH everywhere. Empty stadiums. Cardboard cutouts. Artificial crowd noise. 30-man rosters for a while. Then 28-man rosters for another while. It's […]

Trey Wingenter Undergoes Tommy John Surgery

San Diego Padres reliever Trey Wingenter (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery on Friday. The 26-year-old posted a career 5.14 ERA across two seasons as a power reliever for the Friars and held minimal fantasy value. He likely won’t pitch again until 2022. While the Padres bullpen remains a team strength, Wingenter’s injury opens more opportunities […]

Introducing the MLB Baller Ranks

It’s my extraordinary pleasure to introduce The Baller Ranks, an up-to-date rankings sheet for player values. We wanted to roll this out back in March, but 2020 has had other ideas...

Closers and Saves Report: Summer Camp Edition

In a normal year, we'd be talking about the upcoming trade deadline and how this team needs that player but that team needs this player but then that guy got hurt. During a normal baseball season, we'd be discussing the All-Star Game and how this player definitely didn't deserve a spot and that player was certainly robbed of his […]
