2016 Fantasy Baseball Tiered Starting Pitcher Rankings: Midseason Edition (Part 2)

If you missed Part 1 yesterday, clicky clicky. As a reminder, these rankings were a collaborative effort between yours truly and fellow columnists/handsome devils Nick Mariano and Bill Dubiel. As such, they may not fully represent my personal views on each player, and if someone is ranked inappropriately, I'm pretty sure you can blame either […]

Deeper Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15 (National League)

With an absence of starts this week, we will focus more on relief pitchers who have performed well as of late. This […]

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, […]

Batting Bargains of the First Half

While nobody will argue that the desired final end point to the marathon that is the grueling fantasy baseball season is staking claim to a league championship, veterans of this fair game relish a few other nuances of the grind along the way. There's the smug feeling of besting a rival in a trade, the nightly […]

Week 15 Waiver Wire: Starting Pitchers

Here we are, the All Star Break is upon us just like that. Okay yeah, technically games will play the day that this is published, but that doesn’t sound nice. Our marching orders here remain the same, looking at some low-owned starting pitchers who are worth discussing for better or worse. That is to say, […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (7/10/16): MLB DFS Advice

Due to the above mentioned avoidance, this article will also ignore any games past 2:15 PM EST. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball […]

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 Waiver Wire: Catchers

It's Week 14 of the season and it's also the final full week before the All-Star Break. I think the All-Star catcher of the waiver wire would be J.T. Realmuto. He went from being an after-thought to crossing our cutoff line not once, but twice. Keep it up, J.T.! We're proud of you here at RotoBaller. […]

Week 14 Waiver Wire: Starting Pitchers

Just think, next week’s piece will be released just as the All Star Break is hitting. My how time flies. You know how this song goes by now. We’re ignoring the guys who have been dropped due to legitimate struggles and discussing the rest. 40% ownership is the line that we like to toe with […]

Dynasty Review: Deep Fantasy League Advice for Week 14

I'll begin by patting myself on the back for last week's column. Nobody else was writing about Jeimer Candelario last week - at least not until the Cubs announced his promotion to the majors. How's that for a timely report? Ok, fine. I didn't exactly hit the nail on the head. After praising Candelario for […]
