Week 13 Buy and Sell for Fantasy Baseball

You’re not going to believe this, but Carlos Correa had a pretty phenomenal week and Whit Merrifield did not. Zach Davies’ ratios weren’t pretty in his last start, but he did strike out nine batters in only five innings. Conversely, while Jason Hammel produced a quality start against the Marlins, he struck out only three […]

Marcus Semien (SS, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 43 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Shortstop has been a stronger position in fantasy than usual this season, but it's still surprising to see Marcus Semien available in the majority of leagues.

Dynasty Review: Deep Fantasy League Advice for Week 13

When preparing the Dynasty Review, I always begin by checking in on my picks from the previous week. The big prediction was the promotion of Brandon Nimmo. I can't take much credit for that one. There were already grumbles about Michael Conforto's impending demotion. I don't expect any rapid call ups from this week's crew. I […]

C.C. Sabathia (SP, NYY) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues Owned in: 56% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Throughout the start of the 2016 season there has been a chorus of skeptical voices saying "He can't keep this up.

Dynasty Review: Deep Fantasy League Advice for Week 12

It's the buying low edition. This week, I'll cover a couple good players who were recently optioned. Their owners may be eager to replace them with major league talent - enough so that they could come at a huge bargain. I'll also turn my eye towards a handful of normal prospects. Cubs catcher Willson Contreras […]

Mid-Season Dynasty Prospect Rankings: Second Base

The second base does not quite get enough credit for some of the talented players it has produced. Guys like Robinson Cano and Dustin Pedroia have been outstanding leaders at the position while others like Jason Kipnis, Brandon Phillips and Ian Kinsler have quietly also provided very solid value for both their teams and fantasy […]

Champ or Chump: What to Make of Wright, Lackey and McCutchen

Last week's column was kind of a downer, harping as I did about my least favorite MLB player. This week I figured I should do the opposite and profile three of my favorite players. I'm a sucker for a good knuckleballer (or even a bad one), so Steven Wright continues the trend of a Red […]

Beleaguered Dallas Keuchel May Be Onto Something, To Improve

Can He Return To Form? I won't say Dallas Keuchel is out of the woods just yet. I think it might be a bit of a hyperbolic characterization of his recent success. Even the word "success" is a bit hyperbolic here, but take note: in Keuchel's last five starts, he has struck out 34 hitters […]
