Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 9

We are nearly a third of the way through the fantasy season and things are starting to figure themselves out.

Lucas Giolito Has Arrived (For Real)

As a fan of Lucas Giolito and his potential for the last couple of years, I have to admit I'm bummed about his last outing.

Chicago White Sox second baseman Yolmer Sanchez went 3-for-4 with a run scored on Thursday versus the Houston Astros. Sanchez had a double and two singles on the evening and is now hitting .235 for the season and doesn’t offer much potential in all formats. Sanchez can remain on waivers.

Yonder Alonso Drops in Lineup

Chicago White Sox designated hitter Yonder Alonso has been dropped into seventh in the batting order on Thursday.

Alonso is […]

Yoan Moncada Leading Off, Tim Anderson Second Thursday

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada is leading off Thursday as the White Sox are using the same nine players from Wednesday in a different batting order.
