The San Francisco Giants placed first baseman Brandon Belt (knee) on the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Infielder Kevin Padlo was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Top Hitter Streamers and Starts for Fantasy Baseball - Week 7

Major League Baseball has to be the only sport where the ball not only gets altered constantly, but also with zero transparency. We saw offense start to pick up last week, but, then again, that also coincided with a run of not as great pitching talent, so it is hard to say with conviction that […]

Identifying Last Year’s Hitting Outliers for Fantasy Baseball - Was It Just A Fluke?

I consider one of my greatest skills as a fantasy manager to be my ability to make the “unsexy pick.” When youngsters with tantalizing upside are gradually floating up the draft board, I typically stray away from the temptation and grab myself a more trusty, high-floor veteran to help keep my team afloat. As a […]
