Arizona Fall League Preview: 2016 Mesa Solar Sox

The Mesa Solar Sox are currently ranked as the second strongest team in the Arizona Fall League. The AFL is loaded with talent as teams typically want an extra look at future major leaguers. Mesa has twelve players I am currently touting, five of which are in my top fifty overall. The disadvantage is that all of them are […]

Arizona Fall League Preview: 2016 Glendale Desert Dogs

This year's Arizona Fall League rosters contain a lot of the top talent in minor league baseball. The fall league isn’t always a platform for promotion straight to the big leagues like Triple-A. Instead, the AFL is a place for prospects to showcase their skills against some of the top talent and bolster their chance […]

Dynasty Review: Deep Fantasy League Advice for Week 25

Welcome to the final dynasty review of the 2016 regular season. Starting next week, the format of this article will change, possibly incorporating a new name and focus. I'm still working out the specifics. Don't worry, dynasty MLB coverage will continue on multiple fronts here at Rotoballer. With minor league baseball phasing out of existence, […]

Early Deep Sleepers / Dynasty Stashes for 2017 (Part One)

It's never too early to dream about next year. Whether you're looking for the perfect sneaky keeper or dynasty stash, or you're already eliminated from contention from your playoffs, there exists a smorgasbord of underowned players at every position ripe for the picking. The premise is simple: identify players with very low ownership rates who […]

Dynasty Review: Deep Fantasy League Advice for Week 24

Last week's column included several new(ish) pitchers. Unsurprisingly, Jose De Leon was the most impressive. Sure, he allowed three runs over his six frames, but he also recorded nine strikeouts with a superb 18.6 percent swinging strike rate. He made his second big league start last night (it's still in the future from my perspective). […]

Late Season Dynasty Prospect Rankings: Starting Pitchers

The final dynasty article of the season is here. In this article, I am going to be ranking the top starting pitching prospects in baseball, combining the two articles where I split the pitchers up by league. These will not be full length scouting reports, but rather will just be quick little paragraphs to recap […]

Late Season Dynasty Prospect Rankings: National League Starting Pitchers 1-10

One of the last three dynasty rankings articles in the regular season, this article will be focusing on starting pitchers from the National League. One thing you all will probably notice is that there is more depth here than in the American League. There are also many more of these arms that have already reached the big […]

Late Season Dynasty Prospect Rankings: National League Starting Pitchers 11-20

One of the last three dynasty rankings articles in the regular season, this article will be focusing on starting pitchers from the National League. One thing you all will probably notice is that there is more depth here than in the American League. There are also many more of these arms that are nearing or have already […]

Dynasty Review: Deep Fantasy League Advice for Week 23

Yoan Moncada was the big prospect promotion since we last met. Raimel Tapia is up at Coors Field too. These big name guys have undoubtedly been owned in your dynasty league for years. But September gives us other opportunities including looks at lesser known talents. Let's stick to Coors Field for the first one... Editor's […]

Late Season Dynasty Prospect Rankings: American League Starting Pitchers

Before you start raising riots and asking for certain guys, I want to go ahead and throw out the two names that would be one and two on this list had innings limits not prevented them from being here. Blake Snell no longer qualifies as a rookie and Jose Berrios has pitched exclusively as a […]

Poetry in Motion: The Agility of Jose Peraza

Jose Peraza isn't the next Billy Hamilton. He's better. I doubt he'll ever steal as many bases as Billy - last I checked he never stole 155 bases in a season, but then again who has? He can provide some things that Billy the Kid can't, however, namely a consistently high batting average and consistent defense. […]

Week 21 Rookie Roundup: Recently Promoted Prospects

I want to preface this article by saying that there are literally only two players I advise owning in any format on this list. Sure, some of these guys may be intriguing, but there are two standout players and there are others who are on there just because I have spots to fill. But if […]

Week 20 Rookie Roundup: Recently Promoted Prospects

Take a look at some of those Astros’ prospects starting to produce. A.J. Reed has hit three dingers already and Alex Bregman followed up his first career bomb with another one the following day.

Dylan Bundy (SP, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in Most Leagues Owned in: 57% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: After such a long recovery process, it is a good story to see Dylan Bundy thriving in the big leagues for the Baltimore Orioles. In 65 IP this year he has a 3.05 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, is allowing just 2.5 BB/9, and […]

These early moves will be made to get an extra look at a select few before rosters are flooded with inexperienced players. Keep […]

Mid-Season Dynasty Prospect Rankings: All Outfielders

Since I split up the two leagues, I thought that it would work out well to merge the two and briefly discuss the top-20 overall so dynasty owners know where everyone fits in. The descriptions for each player are not going to be particularly long and if you want a full scouting report, you can […]

Week 18 Rookie Roundup: Recently Promoted Prospects

The trade deadline necessitated a flurry of roster moves around the league. Those included below are just the most important prospect call-ups. Since we have so many names to slog through, I'll be going rapid fire on those who require the least analysis. Without further ado, let's take a look at the recent rookie call-ups, […]

Mid-Season Dynasty Prospect Rankings: American League Outfielders

The second of two dynasty rankings for the outfield position, this list covers only American League outfielders. And going over the list, I think the American League has the more exciting outfield prospects than the senior circuit. Now don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of great outfielders on both sides and so many […]

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 […]

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 […]
