Dynasty Review: Deep Fantasy League Advice for Week 15

In case you didn't notice, it's All Star week. The MLB Futures Game was played on Sunday and featured some spectacular moments. For this week's Dynasty Review, let's talk about some of the players who made noise on the big stage. Alex Bregman and Yoan Moncada stood out at the plate, but they're both already among the most […]

All-Star Break Overrated/Underrated: Third Basemen

This column has (generally) been published on a weekly basis since the season started, yet it hasn't covered third basemen. It's mostly because the third base position runs so deep and has provided so much value that it's hard to say anyone could be considered overrated and deserves lower rates of ownership. A quick glance, […]

Mid-Season Dynasty Prospect Rankings: Shortstops

If you came to me eight years ago and asked about the depth at shortstop, I would tell you that aside from a few stud prospects, the shortstop position did not look great. There weren’t a lot of impact bats and there were mostly just some slick defenders at the position. Now all of that […]

Week 14 Rookie Roundup: Recently Promoted Prospects

This is the second consecutive week that a Top-10 pitching prospect has been promoted to the big leagues. Top Pirates’ prospect, Tyler Glasnow, made his Major League debut Thursday against the Cardinals after his promotion following Jameson Taillon’s placement on the 15-day DL. With the All-Star Break next week, fantasy owners should not expect to […]

Jose Ramirez (2B/3B/SS/OF, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all 12+ team leagues. OWNED IN: 57% of Fleaflicker leagues. EXPERT ANALYSIS: Jose Ramirez has been tremendously useful thus far as he's posted a 42/4/32/10/.300 batting line, which is good for the 114th best stat line in the fake game in standard leagues. Not only has he been enormously productive, and likely […]

Lonnie Chisenhall (3B/OF, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Leagues OWNED IN: 26 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Lonnie Chisenhall has been on the fantasy radar before, but only for brief periods of time. In each of the last two seasons, he had short bursts of production that ultimately fizzled into mediocrity. But a funny thing has happened this […]

Week 14 Buy and Sell for Fantasy Baseball

Switching up the format a bit for this feature going forward - from now on we'll cover six players instead of four, and no more recaps. Taking our cues from Mark McGwire, because we're not here to talk about the past. Each week, I'll be taking a look at a few players and giving my […]

[…]

Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups: Outfield

To be victorious in fantasy baseball, you need players who produce numbers. The players who produce numbers on their own are generally not going to be found on the waiver wire. However, there are always some guys who know how to get on base dwelling around the wire. Getting on base, in itself, is not […]

Week 14 Waiver Wire: Second Base (2B) and Shortstop (SS)

Over the course of the season I’ll be giving you two players at second base and shortstop per week who I think can help your team. These players are usually widely available in any format, and should turn nice profits in the weeks to come. As always, feel free to reach out to me directly […]

Baller Move: Add in all leagues Owned in: 57% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: The Cleveland Indians have been scorching hot in 2016, in big thanks to the timeless production from 35-year old Rajai Davis.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/4/16): MLB DFS Advice

Happy 4th of July, RotoBallers! Enjoy that freedom today, and be safe with all your loud obnoxious fireworks. As President Thomas Whitmore (portrayed by Bill Pullman) once said, "Perhaps its fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution -- […]

Week 13 Buy and Sell for Fantasy Baseball

You’re not going to believe this, but Carlos Correa had a pretty phenomenal week and Whit Merrifield did not. Zach Davies’ ratios weren’t pretty in his last start, but he did strike out nine batters in only five innings. Conversely, while Jason Hammel produced a quality start against the Marlins, he struck out only three […]

Rajai Davis (OF, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Steals are down across the MLB this year, so finding someone who can swipe some bags and not kill your ratios is huge. Rajai Davis is that guy. Before you write him off because he doesn't play everyday, you need to look […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (6/30/16): MLB DFS Advice

This is the last slate before our long Fourth of July weekend. Not that you can't keep playing over the weekend, but an excess adult beverages usually results in less DFS success. At least that's what I've found. But it's still just as fun! Thursday gives us an eight-game main slate with just three games […]

Marcus Semien (SS, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 43 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Shortstop has been a stronger position in fantasy than usual this season, but it's still surprising to see Marcus Semien available in the majority of leagues. After all, he's hit more homers than Carlos Correa and driven in more runs than […]
