Christian Arroyo Records Three More Hits

Boston Red Sox infielder Christian Arroyo collected three more hits in Tuesday's win over the Blue Jays, raising his average to an outstanding .357. A career .219 hitter entering the season, it's fair to wonder how much of Arroyo's early season success is due to actual improvement and how much is due to luck. Although […]

Jazz Chisholm Moves Into The Leadoff Spot

Miami Marlins rookie second baseman Jazz Chisholm will bat first in Wednesday's afternoon game against the Baltimore Orioles. With lefty Bruce Zimmermann on the mound for the Orioles, the Marlins usual leadoff hitter, Corey Dickerson, will slide down to the five spot in the lineup. Chisholm was inexplicably removed from Tuesday's game in a fourth-inning […]

Top 50 Fantasy Baseball Prospects for Week 4

We are now four weeks into the MLB season and some interesting trends are beginning to emerge with the rookie class of 2021.
