Chris Sale Joins a Monster Rotation in Boston
To this point, the Chris Sale blockbuster is the biggest move of the offseason. Sale will join fellow lefty David Price and 2016 Cy Young Award winner Rick Porcello atop Boston rotation, giving Boston one of the best starting pitching trios in the game. Sale certainly didn’t need much help to be fantasy relevant – he […]

2016 in Review: Catcher (C) Breakouts
Some time has passed since Anthony Rizzo caught Kris Bryant's throw to put an end to the 2016 season. Like Rizzo, I put baseball in my back pocket and just mellowed out - the season is a grind for all those involved, including baseball writers. Enough time's elapsed for me to look back. As far […]

Early 2017 Fantasy Baseball Catcher Rankings
The 2016 fantasy baseball season may be over, but it’d be laughable to act like the fiending ever stops. Sure, we’re all able to watch some of our favorite players still make swoon with playoff drama, but there’s business to be had. While players will find new homes during free agency, and can still get […]
Reviewing Rick Lucks's Bold Predictions For 2016
During the offseason, I joined a bunch of my fellow Rotoballer writers in boldly predicting what might occur in the upcoming season. I foolishly ended that piece's intro with ,"Am I a Champ or a Chump?" despite the fact that no one had any idea how I did yet. The season is over, so now […]

Need a break from the NFL grind or perhaps still in the debrief stage of baseball? Have no fear, we got you covered. Let's check out my bold predictions from the preseason and how they turned out. After all, no one likes an expert that makes bold claims and doesn't crow after it crashes and […]
Reviewing Harris Yudin's Bold Predictions for 2016
What’s even more fun than making bold predictions? Looking back at the end of the season to see how good (or so, so hilariously bad) they were.

Reviewing Tony Peters' Bold Predictions for 2016
After opening up the season with a list of 10 bold predictions, I have face to facts, look myself in the mirror and deal with the aftermath of my thoughts. How off-the-wall or on-the-mark was I? Well, spoiler-alert, a little spotty outside of Mariners-related picks. Editor's Note: Purchase a full season NFL Premium Pass (including DFS […]
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 […]
