Sophomore Slumps - Should We Worry About Bellinger and Castillo?

The sophomore slump is a phenomenon that all fantasy players fear.

Champ or Chump: Alen Hanson & Max Muncy

Personally, I use a player's track record as my primary means of evaluating minor leaguers. While other owners chase after the Juan Soto's and Ronald Acuna's of the world based on their prospect ratings, I tend to let other owners burn their early draft picks and FAAB on those guys. They could be studs right […]
