Champ or Chump: What to Make of Gordon, Hamilton and Villar

It's Trade Deadline time, but I can't analyze lineup spots or roles resulting from trades that haven't happened yet. So, I'll save that for next week.

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (7/27/16): MLB DFS Advice

The pricing on FanDuel seems to be a bit questionable. Guys are extremely cheap, and it's fairly easy to construct a great lineup.

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (7/26/16): MLB DFS Advice

A 15 game slate in which every game takes place under the lights is a thing of DFS beauty. There are actually 16 games today, thanks to the Mets-Nationals doubleheader, but the early game isn't relevant to daily fantasy.

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (7/24/16): MLB DFS Advice

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies (Week 16)

Who would have guessed that the first person promoted from the promising 2015 draft would have been Carson Fulmer? I mean no offense to Fulmer, but he had a 4.76 ERA, 4.16 FIP, 9.31 K/9, 5.28 BB/9 and 0.72 HR/9 in Double-A. Those numbers are certainly not terrible, but I don’t know if they are […]
