Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects To Stash - Updated Rankings for 2023 Redraft (Week 16)

Everybody sit back, relax, and take a deep breath. We've reached the All-Star break and it's time to take a quick breather and gear up for the stretch run of the 2023 fantasy baseball season. So, how are your teams looking? Still in the hunt? Do you need a boost at one position or category […]

Xavier Edwards - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Xavier Edwards, 2B, Miami Marlins ANALYSIS: Remember him? While Edwards didn't make the top-25 this week, I do believe he's someone to keep on your radar at least. Despite having a trio of home runs over the last month, Edwards doesn't provide much in the way of power, but he could provide a solid […]

Heston Kjerstad - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Heston Kjerstad, OF, Baltimore Orioles ANALYSIS: Over the last 30 days, Heston Kjerstad has been one of the hottest hitters in the minors with a .330/.425/.625 slash line to go along with five home runs and a solid 18.5% strikeout rate. Given his upside, performance, and proximity to Baltimore, one might wonder why Kjerstad […]

Michael Busch - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Michael Busch, 2B, Los Angeles Dodgers ANALYSIS: Is the third time going to be the charm with Michael Busch? The former first-round pick has already had two separate stints with the Dodgers this season, but couldn't secure regular playing time in either of them. With the Dodgers recently sending Miguel Vargas down to Triple-A after struggling […]

Grayson Rodriguez - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Grayson Rodriguez, SP, Baltimore Orioles ANALYSIS: It wouldn't shock me at all if Grayson Rodriguez was back up with Baltimore shortly after the All-Star break. While his last outing only lasted three innings with three walks, Rodriguez has really impressed overall since being sent back down to Triple-A. In seven starts since being optioned […]

Christian Encarnacion-Strand - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Christian Encarnacion-Strand, 1B/3B, Cincinnati Reds ANALYSIS: Now that many of the other prospects that occupied the top part of these rankings for the last several weeks are up in the Majors, Christian Encarnacion-Strand is left standing in the middle of an empty room like Will Smith at the end of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. But […]

Eric Cross' Dynasty Notes - Andrew Abbott, Spencer Steer, Sebastian Walcott, and More!

In the dynasty world, news and notes articles take on a whole new meaning. Not only are we discussing short-term value with these players, but we need to look long-term as well. A good dynasty manager is like Crazy Eyes from the movie Mr. Deeds. You have to have one eye on the present and […]

Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects To Stash - Updated Rankings for 2023 Redraft (Week 15)

Happy Independence Day and 4th of July to everyone reading this on the holiday. I'm hoping you all had a great time with family and friends, eating too much food at cookouts, and watching some baseball of course. The baseball and fantasy baseball seasons are past the halfway mark at this point and the All-Star […]

Gavin Stone - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Gavin Stone, SP, Los Angeles Dodgers ANALYSIS: Well, it looks like Gavin Stone will get another shot with the Dodgers sooner than anticipated. Stone, along with Michael Grove, was recalled from Triple-A on Monday as the Dodgers placed longtime ace Clayton Kershaw on the IL. In four games down in Triple-A after being optioned in early June, […]

Zack Gelof - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Zack Gelof, SS, Oakland Athletics ANALYSIS: While Zack Gelof doesn't receive as much hype as fellows A's prospect Tyler Soderstrom does, Gelof is coming off an 18/10 season in 95 games last season and has already racked up 11 home runs and 19 steals in 63 games this season with an impressive .296/.404/.519 slash […]

Tyler Soderstrom - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Tyler Soderstrom, C/1B, Oakland Athletics ANALYSIS: Moving out west, we have a pair of Oakland Athletics bats that will likely receive some playing time before the end of the season. Let's start with Tyler Soderstrom who has the higher fantasy upside of the Oakland duo. In 66 games this season, Soderstrom has already cranked 15 […]

Matt Mervis - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Matt Mervis, 1B, Chicago Cubs ANALYSIS: Since being sent back down to Triple-A Iowa, Mervis is hitting .263 with a pair of home runs and five walks in 11 games. His first stint with the Cubs was underwhelming on the surface, but Mervis produced impressive quality of contact metrics with a 13.8% barrel rate […]

Colt Keith - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Colt Keith, 3B, Detroit Tigers ANALYSIS: I'm really starting to think we see Colt Keith sooner rather than later, especially now that he's mashing in Triple-A. With another three hits, including a double and a stolen base, Keith now has 10 hits in his first six Triple-A games including two home runs and four […]

Eric Cross' Dynasty Notes - Baltimore and Cincinnati Stealing the Show

In the dynasty world, news and notes articles take on a whole new meaning. Not only are we discussing short-term value with these players, but we need to look long-term as well. A good dynasty manager is like Crazy Eyes from the movie Mr. Deeds. You have to have one eye on the present and […]

Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects To Stash - Updated Rankings for 2023 Redraft (Week 14)

It's hard to believe that the MLB season is already at the halfway mark. FOr the most part, fantasy league standings have taken shape and you should have a pretty good idea of whether or not you have a shot at contending this season. If you've fallen out of the hunt, stashing prospects probably isn't […]

Dominic Canzone - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Dominic Canzone, OF, Arizona Diamondbacks ANALYSIS: If only the Arizona Diamondbacks didn't have so many damn outfielders that have already debuted or are Major League ready. We joke about how Christian Encarnacion-Strand has been mashing and needs to be freed from Triple-A, but Dominic Canzone has been even better in the month of June, […]

Colt Keith - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Colt Keith, 3B, Detroit Tigers ANALYSIS: Even though he's currently at Double-A, it wouldn't surprise me to see Colt Keith up with Detroit sooner rather than later. We've seen more promotions from Double-A to the Majors this season than I can recall over the last several years, and Keith has been mashing all season. […]

Parker Meadows - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Parker Meadows, OF, Detroit Tigers ANALYSIS: After hitting under .240 in both April and May, Parker Meadows has jumpstarted his season here in June, slashing .333/.363/.563 with nine doubles, three home runs, and two steals in 22 games. Overall, Meadows has nine home runs and eight steals in 71 games this season and had […]

Ceddanne Rafaela - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Ceddanne Rafaela, OF, Boston Red Sox ANALYSIS: With David Hamilton now up with Boston, Ceddanne Rafaela is the next Boston prospect that could come up and make a fantasy impact this season. In 60 Double-A games before his promotion the other day, Rafaela was slashing .394/.332/.441 with six home runs and 30 steals, and […]

Eric Cross' Dynasty Notes - Eury Perez, Taj Bradley, Blake Snell, and More!

In the dynasty world, news and notes articles take on a whole new meaning. Not only are we discussing short-term value with these players, but we need to look long-term as well. A good dynasty manager is like Crazy Eyes from the movie Mr. Deeds. You have to have one eye on the present and […]

Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects To Stash - Updated Rankings for 2023 Redraft (Week 13)

The month of June has been a busy time for prospect promotions. After having Elly De La Cruz called up the previous week, we received a whopping five fantasy relevant prospect promotions this past week, including a pair of catchers in Bo Naylor and Henry Davis, the latter of which will see plenty of time […]

Oswald Peraza - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Oswald Peraza, SS, New York Yankees ANALYSIS: While Peraza's 12-game Major League stint earlier this season brought literally nothing for fantasy managers, he's still a name I'm intrigued about for this season. In 34 games down in Triple-A, Peraza is slashing .292/.360/.563 with 11 home runs, 11 steals, and a 14.9% strikeout rate. Meanwhile, Anthony […]

Matt Mervis - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Matt Mervis, 1B, Chicago Cubs ANALYSIS: Given that he was just sent down a few days ago, I'm not expecting Matt Mervis to be recalled in the near future. But this is a bat you shouldn't completely write off this season. While the .167/.242/.289 slash line doesn't offer much inspiration, the 13.8% barrel rate, […]

Sal Frelick - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Sal Frelick, OF, Milwaukee Brewers ANALYSIS: After missing nearly two months, Sal Frelick returned to action last week and has reached base nine times with a home run and two steals in his first four games back in Triple-A. Frelick is coming off a season where he hit .331 across three levels and projects […]

Grayson Rodriguez - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Grayson Rodriguez, SP, Baltimore Orioles ANALYSIS: Slowly but surely, Grayson Rodriguez is morphing back into the pitcher that made him the #1 overall pitching prospect for the last year and a half. In three starts since being sent back to Triple-A, Rodriguez has posted a 2.50 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 38.6% strikeout rate. Yes, […]

Gavin Williams - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Gavin Williams, SP, Cleveland Guardians ANALYSIS: With Triston McKenzie back on the IL, it might finally be Gavin Williams' time to shine. The Guardians are down to four starters right now and haven't announced a starter for Wednesday's tilt with Oakland yet. Williams last pitched on the 14th for Columbus and has been following Joey Cantillo in the […]

Christian Encarnacion-Strand - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Christian Encarnacion-Strand, 1B/3B, Cincinnati Reds ANALYSIS: Tick tock, tick tock. Honestly, I'm getting tired of writing about Christian Encarnacion-Strand in this weekly stash article. I'd much rather be writing about what he's doing in the Major Leagues but Cincinnati isn't allowing that to happen just yet. Over the last 28 days, Encarnacion-Strand is slashing […]

Emmet Sheehan - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Emmet Sheehan, SP, Los Angeles Dodgers ANALYSIS: The Dodgers called up Emmet Sheehan to start in their weekend series against San Francisco. Sheehan has dominated minor league hitters all season and is now inside my top-10 overall pitching prospects. In 53.1 innings for Double-A Tulsa, Sheehan recorded a stellar 1.86 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, and a 41.7% […]

Elly De La Cruz, Fantasy Baseball's Next Superstar

Baseball truly is the best sport in the world. Yes, I’m certainly biased as a baseball and fantasy baseball writer who has the privilege of covering the most talented players in the world from before they’re drafted all the way up to the Majors Leagues. But this game graces us with an exuberant amount of […]
