Full Story »Three Catchers Who Will Underperform Their 2015 ADP: Rankings Analysis
Knowing When to Pass I’m not a big fan of a “Do Not Draft” list. Depending on the depth of a league, and how far a player falls, even Jarrod Saltalamacchia can find a loving home.

Full Story »Marcus Semien (2B/3B, OAK) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target as MI in late rounds ANALYSIS: Marcus Semien should see consistent playing time in Oakland (unlike during his tenure with the White Sox), not only due to his position versatility, but also because of Oakland’s glaring need for middle infield help. Semien’s major league stolen base numbers don’t jump off the page, but in 2013 […]

Conventional fantasy baseball rankings are pointless. There I said it. A set of tiered rankings, on the other hand, now that makes a lot more sense. What a simple numerical set of rankings (from one through let's say 300) fails to account for is the skills and production gap between the players it is ordering. […]
