Mid-Season Dynasty Prospect Rankings: All Outfielders
Since I split up the two leagues, I thought that it would work out well to merge the two and briefly discuss the top-20 overall so dynasty owners know where everyone fits in. The descriptions for each player are not going to be particularly long and if you want a full scouting report, you can […]
MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies (Week 19)
Talk about some serious promotions lately. Andrew Benintendi! Orlando Arcia! And that is just naming two of them. Unfortunately, it is unlikely we shall see another week like that again. At least, not until September. There aren't any real clear promotions on the horizon except for a few names. With that said, it is still important […]

Champ or Chump: What to Make of Pomeranz, Beltran, and Lucroy
The non-waiver trade deadline has officially passed, and baseball fans were treated to a number of last second deals. Unfortunately for my purposes, most of them are RPs that I evaluate by whether they get saves. Washington's Mark Melancon and Chicago's Aroldis Chapman earn Champ tags from me as they figure to continue earning saves. […]

Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups: Outfield
Max Kepler smacked three home runs for the Minnesota Twins on Monday. Today, he remains owned in just 36% of leagues. In fact, he leads the league with 11 HR since July 1. The German sensation should be added in all leagues. But Kepler's fate remained relatively unchanged after the flurry of activity over the […]
FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (8/2/16): MLB DFS Advice
I can't believe the trade deadline has come and gone and we've already reached August. The baseball fan in me is excited as this is when the pennant races really start to heat up, but the daily fantasy player in me is a little sad we've got roughly 8-10 Tuesdays left. Tuesday, in my opinion […]

Alas, there's no excuse to keep sitting on sluggers that aren't living up […]

Wow what a bunch of big time promotions. Alex Bregman, David Dahl, Tyler Glasnow (and then to the DL). Talk about some star power! But the big headlines obviously are going to circle around the Indians who acquired ace reliever Andrew Miller, but failed to complete a deal for Jonathan Lucroy after he used his no-trade […]
2016 Fantasy Football Sleeper - Running Back Duke Johnson
What a time to be a Cleveland sports fan. The Cavaliers won an NBA title, the Indians have a 4.5 game division lead (as I write this), and Browns football is on the horizon. Yes, I know the Browns haven’t been exciting in a long time. Yes, I know Robert Griffin III will be the quarterback […]

Poetry in Motion: The Maturity of Jon Gray
Jon Gray isn't a rookie. OK, that's a lie because technically he is, but you know what I mean. The man (he's almost 25 years old for crying out loud) is pitching like a seasoned veteran and yet I keep seeing him mentioned as a streaming option or waiver option. It's a travesty that we […]
