Are You For Real? Surprising SP Starts from Week 11

Welcome back to "Are You For Real?" Each week, we look at lower-owned starting pitchers who have performed unexpectedly well in their last outing(s). We're looking at two mid-twenties righties this week. One with a lot of prospect history in Baltimore's Dylan Bundy, and one with virtually no notable pedigree with Texas's Adrian Sampson. Ownership […]

Dallas Keuchel Looks Good In First Minor League Start

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel allowed only one hit and had nine strikeouts in seven scoreless innings for High-A Rome in his first minor league start on Monday. The left-hander threw just 77 pitches in the outing. Keuchel is expected to need at least one more minor league start before the Braves add him […]

No Timetable For Ender Inciarte

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte (back) has no timetable for his return, according to manager Brian Snitker. Inciarte's back is "still biting him... Two steps forward, one step back," Snitker said. That's bad news for a player that's hitting just .218/.300/.323 with two homers, nine RBI and three stolen bases on the season in 124 […]

Dallas Keuchel Expected To Make Two More Minor League Starts

Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker expects starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel to make at least two more minor league starts before the Braves consider adding him to their rotation. Keuchel and his ground-ball ways are a good fit for Atlanta and the National League East, and the left-hander should be owned in most leagues after signing […]

2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11

While the last couple of weeks have been heavy on prospect call-ups with the arrival of such players as Brendan Rodgers, Nicky Lopez, Cavan Biggio, and Keston Hiura, this week seems to epitomize a league of changing landscapes. The Phillies acquired Jay Bruce (with immediate results), there are further trade talks already swirling around the […]

Atlanta Braves starter Julio Teheran allowed two hits across six scoreless innings during a 1-0 win over the Miami Marlins on Saturday. Teheran struck out five batters while walking one.

The Cut List (Week 11) - Time to Let Go?

It's June 9, an exciting date to some, because it means another Cut List. (Were you thinking some other reason?) Last week's changeup, which involved cut suggestions in three different league sizes--10, 12, and 14/15 teams--continues. Stats are through Friday, June 7. New weekly reminders: Recommendations in one league size obviously apply to smaller leagues. […]

Sauceda's Slants: Folding Aces

There are very few Fantasy experiences more pleasing than hitting on a late-round sleeper or sneaky waiver acquisition — not unlike the experience of finding a twenty-dollar bill in your pocket that you had completely forgotten. When landing these types of players, common refrain tends to be, “sell high!” But for anyone who’s played in […]

Dallas Keuchel To Start For Triple-A Saturday

After the Atlanta Braves signed free-agent starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel to a one-year, $13 million deal on Friday, the left-hander will make his first start with the organization for Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday. Keuchel is a huge addition to Atlanta's rotation, but it's unclear how many starts he'll need to make in the minors before […]

Dallas Keuchel - A Brave New World

Once a certain point was reached, we all knew that it could happen at any given second. Once draft compensation was no longer tied to the two biggest remaining free agents in the MLB, the bidding war began, and it didn't take long for the results to shake out (and that's even with a few […]

Resurrecting Jay Bruce

It appears we've been here before. Is it already time to resurrect Jay Bruce as a fantasy option once again? Bruce has seemingly been playing in the majors for two decades but is actually only 32 years old, playing in his 12th season. Annually underappreciated for his steady but unflashy production, Bruce has lost a […]
