Boone Logan To Open Season On Disabled List

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Boone Logan (tricep strain) is confirmed to start the year on the DL, according to Brewers manager Craig Counsell.

Wade Miley Diagnosed With Left Groin Tear

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Wade Miley has been diagnosed with a "mild tear" in his left groin and has no timetable just yet.

Eric Thames Slugs A Home Run In Win

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Eric Thames went 1-for-3 with a home-run, two RBI, and a strikeout in the 4-3 win over the Oakland Athletics. Thames has not been that hot this Spring Training so far, with a batting average of .182 and an OPS of .600. Despite Thames being the near guaranteed starting first baseman […]

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Boone Logan was injured in the 4-3 win against the Oakland Athletics. Logan was taken out of the game after experiencing some shoulder discomfort as discussed by Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell. There is no known severity at this point, however, Logan is not exactly the most prized possession in fantasy […]

Wade Miley Injured Against Athletics

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Wade Miley left Wednesday's Spring Training game against the Oakland Athletics with an injury. When Miley went to go field a bunt and throw the ball to third, he lost his grip and awkwardly had to recover in order to get the ball to the base. He was visibly hurt after […]

Corey Ray Looking To Bounce Back In 2018

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Corey Ray is looking to bounce back in 2018 after dealing with a knee injury that he suffered in 2016. The former fifth overall draft choice in 2016 had a rough rookie season in the Carolina League with a .238 batting average and a league-leading 156 strikeouts. Ray is going into this year […]

Vogt had an off year last season, only hitting for a .233 batting average compared to his .251 average in 2016. Vogt does provide some value […]

As we steamroll toward Opening Day, our experienced writers will be offering their most bold predictions for the 2018 fantasy baseball season. Although I will never be able to replicate last year's successes in calling Giancarlo Stanton's mammoth season, I will do my best. Feel free to ignore the majority of those other predictions from 2017. […]

Ji-Man Choi Has Been Out With Sore Ribs

Milwaukee Brewers first basemen Ji-Man Choi has been out of commission for a few days with sore ribs and will not play the spring training game on Tuesday against the Colorado Rockies. Choi has had a solid spring training so far with a .419 batting average and a 1.396 OPS in 31 at-bats, so this […]

Champ or Chump - Domingo Santana and Byron Buxton

You can't win your league during the draft, but you can lose it. Therefore, your primary goal should be to walk out of the draft with a realistic shot to win the league. You'll need a few unexpected things to go right for you, but the late rounds and waiver wire are the places to […]

Dollar Day Auction Targets for Fantasy Baseball Drafts

The latter part of an auction draft is arguably the most fun part. All of the obvious players to own are long gone, and now owners must go searching through the coal to find the one diamond that will make the difference for their team. Owners were patting themselves on the back after finding $1 […]

2018 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values - Shortstop

At the risk of beating a dead horse, I dislike the term "sleeper." Maybe you share my qualms with terminology, maybe not; we can all agree that what we're after in our fantasy drafts is value. Obviously, finding the most valuable players leads to winning leagues, but there are few better feelings than snagging the […]

Overvalued - NL Outfielders Set to Bust in 2018

One of biggest mistakes fantasy owners can make is overpaying for career years. While some players experience legitimate breakouts, others are the product of a fortunate set of circumstances. Of course, some players are just plain overvalued. As we inch closer to the start of the regular season, it's more important than ever to identify […]

Brewers Send Keston Hiura To Minor League Camp

The Milwaukee Brewers sent second baseman Keston Hiura to minor league camp on Sunday. According to MLB.com, Hiura is the team's top-ranked prospect entering the 2018 season. He left quite the impression on the team in camp and could be up with the team in the second half. The ninth overall pick of last year's […]

Stephen Vogt To Open On DL

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Stephen Vogt (shoulder) will open the season on the disabled list, according to manager Craig Counsell. Vogt will not be released, and his $3.065 million salary becomes guaranteed. Vogt lost out on the backup job to Manny Pina because of the injury this spring, and the former All-Star with the A's has […]

2018 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values - Second Base

Putting my personal hangups over the term "sleeper" aside, we can all agree that what we're after in our fantasy drafts is value. Finding the most valuable players leads to winning leagues, obviously, but it's also just awesome to get something good for way below what you should've had to pay. Over the next several days, […]

Deeper Second Base Sleepers - Undervalued ADPs

We are gathered here today to discuss everyone’s favorite fantasy buzzword, the “sleepers”. Not only that, but we’re tabbing these guys as deeper sleepers with a focus on the second base position.

Stephen Vogt Still Dealing With Shoulder Strain

After a second opinion, it was confirmed that Milwaukee Brewers catcher Stephen Vogt (shoulder) continues to deal with a strain in his right shoulder capsule. Manager Craig Counsell said, "I don't think Opening Day is likely." Vogt was battling for backup duties with catcher Jett Bandy, with Manny Pina set to open the season as […]

Travis Shaw - The Mayor of Ding Dong City Deserves Your Vote

After beating out the esteemed Pablo Sandoval in Boston for starting third baseman in 2016, Travis Shaw had a decent season for the BoSox (.242/.306/.421, 16 HRs, 63 runs, 71 RBI) but was quickly forgotten by the fantasy community. As he quietly departed for Milwaukee before 2017, Shaw was barely a rumor on draft boards […]

We continue our review of the March update with a look at the glorious shortstop position.

Zach Davies Throws Without Issue Monday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Zach Davies (oblique) pitched three innings in an intrasquad game on Monday without issues, and his oblique issue appears to be behind him. That's assuming he has no setbacks from here on out before Opening Day. The right-hander was impressive with a 17-9 record, 3.90 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 5.8 K/9 […]

Yovani Gallardo Moving To Relief Role

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Yovani Gallardo will move to a relief role, beginning with his next spring outing. The veteran right-hander posted a career-worst 5.72 ERA while posting a 1.52 WHIP and 6.5 K/9 in 28 games (22 starts) for Seattle last year, and he's become useless to fantasy owners, especially in a relief role. […]

Stephen Vogt Suffers Setback While Throwing

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Stephen Vogt (shoulder) suffered a setback while attempting his throwing program on Monday. He'll visit with a doctor before the team determines the next step, but at this point, it looks unlikely that he'll be ready for Opening Day. Vogt was battling Jett Bandy for backup catcher duties to Manny Pina this […]
