Week 8 Waiver Wire: First Base and Third Base

As the season progresses, it becomes simultaneously easier and harder to mine the waiver wire for production.

The usual caveats about sample size and arbitrary endpoints aside, using […]

Week 8 Buy and Sell for Fantasy Baseball

Last week’s buys were a mixed bag. Zack Greinke dominated the Cardinals, but Miguel Sano continued to scuffle. He’s still hitting the ball hard enough to anticipate better days ahead, though. On the sell side, Danny Salazar got knocked around by the Red Sox (no shame in that lately) and Adrian Gonzalez’s struggles continued. He […]

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies (Week 8)

Colin Moran was finally promoted in an effort to actually provide some positive production out of the third base position.
