Jurickson Profar (1B/2B/3B/SS/OF, TEX) - 2017 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~350 CURRENT ADP: 376 ANALYSIS: The dust has settled on Jurickson Profar's hype and he is now being valued well outside the top 20 at second base.

Champ or Chump: Dustin Pedroia and Evan Longoria

It is time for the fantasy community to realize that we collectively suffer from an age bias. Sure, a 35-year old is unlikely to break out in the same manner a 23-year old could, but he is also less likely to turn into an overhyped bust. Youth and experience should be balanced on most fantasy […]

Houston Astros Top MLB Prospects for 2017 Dynasty Leagues

Houston Astros fans will tell you 2016 was a disappointing season.

An 84-78 record and third-place finish in […]

Thinking Out Loud: Early Industry Mock Draft Results

Due to being professional fiends, we here at RotoBaller held our first mock draft of the 2017 fantasy baseball season this week.

Kansas City Royals Top MLB Prospects for 2017 Dynasty Leagues

I hate to burst the bubble of many Royals’ fans out there, but it appears the dynasty’s run has come to an end. The Royals don’t have the team they once had when they made the World Series in 2014 and 2015 and free agency is about to decimate their roster at the end of […]
