Reviewing Edward Sutelan's Bold Predictions for 2016
Before this season, I made a couple of bold predictions about the upcoming season. There were some hits . . . and then there were some misses. Overall, I feel that people who read my article seeking fantasy advice were probably not too let down by my predictions (unless you bought into A.J. Reed). I look […]

Arizona Fall League Preview: 2016 Scottsdale Scorpions
The Yankees drew the short end of the bunch by getting paired with the Los Angeles Angels prospects. That isn't to say that Taylor Ward isn't a good player, he just isn't an elite talent. The Scottsdale Scorpions are a top heavy team, but even that talent doesn't compare to other clubs in the league. Editor's Note: Purchase a […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (9/30/16): MLB DFS Advice
We're getting down to the wire, and there are some great battles going on for playoffs. It looks as if the Mets are going to make the playoffs, although they will have to win the "play in" game against the Giants or Cardinals. Regardless, at this point, this season has been a win for how […]
Arizona Fall League Preview: 2016 Salt River Rafters
The Salt River Rafters are filled to the brim with batting prospects worth watching. Likewise, they lack any rotation worth noting. They are similar to the Surprise Saguaros in nature without the obvious ace in Michael Kopech. The thing that sticks out the most about the Rafters is that two of the four players to watch […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (9/22/16): MLB DFS Advice
