Statcast Hitter Risers/Fallers - Barrels

It's time to revisit the most telling of Statcast numbers - Barrels.

Let's see how things have […]

Tim Federowicz Clears Waivers

Houston Astros catcher Tim Federowicz has successfully cleared waivers and has been optioned back to Triple-A Fresno Grizzlies.

Week 11 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week.
