MLB Player Profiles
2020 MLB Breakout Pitcher of the Year
Every year I sit down, pour through all the data, and come up with my Breakout Pitcher of the Year. As fantasy players gain a level of sophistication, and as information becomes more widely dispersed/available, choosing an arm each season becomes more difficult than the previous season. However, I do have a pretty decent track Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2020 Player Profile: Adrian Houser
Who is Adrian Houser besides being the guy who gets sick on the mound? Should you care about the 27 year old righty who has thrown all of 127 innings in the majors? There sure is a lot of talk about him on the interwebs, and there is growing heat with his ADP. So, let’s Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2020 Player Profile: Reynaldo Lopez
He has an arm. He has a new catcher that will help a lot. He has two years of significant MLB innings. Reynaldo Lopez would seem to have a bunch of positive check marks for his 2020 outlook. However, there are also a few potential negatives that need to be explored before we render a Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2020 Player Profile: Pablo Lopez
Pablo Lopez had a 5.09 ERA last season. Lopez has thrown just 170 big league innings. Lopez pitches for the Marlins. Those are hardly statements that lend any excitement at all to his case for being fantasy worthy this season. Continue reading to find out why, if you believe that, it might be wise to Read More!

2020 Player Profile: Tyler Mahle
Tyler Mahle has an 11-23 record with a 4.88 ERA in 261.2 big league innings over three seasons with the Reds, so you might be asking yourself ‘why the hell are you writing about him Ray?’ Keep reading to find out. 25 years old Bats/Throws: Right/Right Height/Weight: 6’3”, 210 lbs.

2020 Player Profile: Aaron Nola
Back in 2017, coming off a season with a 4.78 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in just 111 innings, I tabbed Aaron Nola as my Breakout Pitcher of the Year. He went out and posted a 3.54 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 184 punchouts over 168 innings. That call was a total hit. Nola then went on Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2020 Player Profile: Alex Verdugo
In January Alex Verdugo had the look of an outfielder to round out your squad with. However, the trade from the Dodgers to the Red Sox has excited many who see a potential top of the order hitter, in a solid lineup in a good hitting ballpark. With his cost increasing daily, it would be Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2020 Player Profile: Eduardo Rodriguez
For years, likely literally since his rookie season, I’ve been pushing people off Eduardo Rodriguez. Why? I never thought he wasn’t good, I always thought he was being overdrafted because he was on the Red Sox. I was right about that by the way. Last season he won 19 games, and it seems like some Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2020 Player Profile: Jon Berti
As a 29 year old last season, the Marlins Jon Berti made some waves by (A) playing multiple positions and (B) by running on the basepaths. He is likely to be packing both of those again in 2020 making him an ideal league only option. Can/will he play enough to be a trustable option in Read More!

2020 Player Profile: Zack Wheeler
Ever since he was taken in the first round in in the 2009 MLB Draft by the San Francisco Giants, the expectations have been set extremely high for Zack Wheeler. With his move to the Phillies this offseason, we’re right back to expecting him to breakout on the bump. As he enters his sixth season, Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2020 Player Profile: Dylan Bundy
For years, we have waited for it to happen. The “it” we’ve been patiently waiting on is a breakout effort on the hill from Dylan Bundy. We’re still waiting as he enters his sixth big-league season. Will the move to Anaheim help to unlock the potential that once had him listed amongst the best right-handed Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2020 Player Profile: Madison Bumgarner
The Giants’ Madison Bumgarner is one of the better post-season pitchers of all-time. For years, he racked up 200-innings seasons with that post season success, and folks build their squads around him. Then an incident away from the field derailed him, followed by a season where he was hit by a comebacker. He rebounded in Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2020 Player Profile: Trent Grisham
The Padres brought in Trent Grisham in a deal that sent away Luis Urias in late 2019. The new Padres outfielder is being looked at as a starter for 2020 and that means we need to investigate the tools he brings to the field so that we can determine his value in fantasy leagues this Read More!

2020 Player Profile: Scott Kingery
Two years ago, Scott Kingery was a can’t miss kid. He had a really rough rookie season that included a sickly .605 OPS, and that caused the fervor to add him in leagues to dissipate. He wasn’t great last season, but he was pretty darn solid and he enters the 2020 campaign with the belief Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2020 Player Profile: Jesse Winker
Jesse Winker has appeared in three big league seasons with an impressive .285/.379/.466 slash line (a .845 OPS). Yet, ask around and people have seemingly completely moved on from Winker at this point. Should you follow those that suggest caution, or is there a reason to target Winker in drafts this year? 26 years old Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2020 Player Profile: Chris Sale
Chris Sale finally broke last season. He failed to throw the innings in 2018 which dinged his production, but 2019 was the season that the performance fell to concerning levels. Can the proud lefty rebound in ’20 or is he now amongst the group of highly skilled, but uncertain, starting pitchers? 31 years old Bats/Throws: Read More!

2020 Player Profile: Justin Verlander
Justin Verlander had a magical season in 2019 that included a WHIP of 0.80, the fifth best in baseball history and third best since 1901. The assumption is that he will continue to roll along as one of the top-3 pitching options in baseball in 2020. Is that a prudent position to take? 37 Read More!

2020 Player Profile: Max Scherzer
For years, Max Scherzer has been a star. In point of fact, Scherzer has been a top-5 vote getter in the NL Cy Young voting in 7-straight seasons, a simply remarkable record of excellence. For the first time since 2013, there has started to leak into his profile some concerns about whether or not the Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.
