Buy or Sell - Underowned and Overowned Players for Week 3

If your fantasy baseball team looks anything like most of mine, then you've got a couple of injured players occupying bench spots because your DL positions are already full.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Joakim Soria has seemed to distance himself as the closer for the White Sox, at least in the early going of the 2018 season. Who would hold down this job was one of the big unknowns through the […...

Buy or Sell - Underowned and Overowned Players for Week 2

The first week of the season is officially over, so it's time to start trading assets! That actually may not be the best idea since we've yet to get a firm grasp on trends or values, although the start of the season could be the best time to acquire assets cheaply in some cases. Cutting […...

Did We Sell Arizona's Offense Short?

Humidor hysteria. That's an appropriate term for the wave of panic that set into some fantasy owners once news of Arizona's plan to temper the baseball hit the mainstream media.

RotoBaller Premium Tools - Starting Pitcher Matchups

The baseball season is a marathon, not a sprint. It would be nice to draft an All-Star fantasy squad and think that you can just set it and forget it and come out on top by season's end. You probably wish you had a league filled with owners who thought that way, because you'd be […...

The Closer Carousel Turns (Already?) - How to Approach Boxberger, Kela, Strickland

We already knew that the closer position was the most volatile in baseball, but this is getting ridiculous. Three would-be closers have been displaced days before the season even starts, one by injury and two by manager decision. In 5x5 roto leagues, owning one of these volatile assets is a necessary evil. Throwing out FAAB […...

BALLER MOVE: Target ~170 CURRENT ADP:  211 ANALYSIS: The San Diego Padres pitching staff was one that could be largely ignored and/or avoided in 2017, but that all changed when Dinelson Lamet was recalled from Triple-A El Paso in May.

Turning Two - Beware the Trending Six-Man Rotation

A six-man starting rotation? "That's just not what MLB is to me," Texas Rangers pitcher Cole Hamels said recently.
