Short Season: Fast Starting Hitters
So, it’s come to this. I’m writing about something I don’t really believe in, but I feel like I’ve been forced into a corner so I have to come out swinging. The 2020 MLB season will be more of a sprint than ever before. Sounds like we might have a best-case scenario of half a Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

MLB ADP Market Report 12
For the first time in well over a month, we have mass market activity and a hefty data set we can rely upon. The NFBC set a deadline for the completion of online championship (OC) drafts, and the fantasy managers came out in droves to draft. Moreover, there has been plenty of “news” for us Read More!

MLB ADP Market Report 11
A bit different type of analysis this week. Since NFBC drafts have ramped up in the month of April, I decided to go back to analyzing the $350-entry, 12-team Online Champions (OC). This gives us a more relevant segment of the player pool – namely, those drafted among the top-360 overall. The “new” data is Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

My All-Time MLB Favorites
Here is my list of my all-time Favorite MLB players. Some of the guys are stars. Some of them maybe even all-time greats. There’s a guy on the list that you certainly forgot ever existed (it’s a lock). I’m barely a homer too, there is only one SF Giant makes the list, and it will be pretty clear how…
From the Gut – Power Trios
This past week brought forth the slightest glimmer of hope for a baseball season in 2020. This off the heels of discussions with MLB and government officials about sequestering teams in Arizona for a 4.5-month period starting in May. Reviewing some of the details listed in Jeff Passan’s article brings about more questions than answers, Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

MLB ADP Market Report 10
All of us are affected differently by the pandemic and the constantly in-flux state of the world. There is undoubtedly a large chunk of fantasy baseball diehards who have been focusing on other things in life these last couple weeks and are in the camp of “there won’t be baseball in 2020.” Chances are, if Read More!

2020: Ranking the Rotation Trios
Thought it would be fun to run through a little exercise where I ranked each team’s top-three starting pitchers. As you’ll note below, determining the #3 option in some of these rotations was a bit difficult. I’ve assigned each starting pitcher a rating based on a 1-10 scale and the total score of the trio Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

We are in the second full week of this new era of quarantine and the possibility of no 2020 season.

MLB ADP Market Report 7
An incredibly tumultuous and surreal week it has been, to say the least. We have all been reacting to the news of the CV-19 outbreak in different ways.

Position Tiers Overview: SP
To keep this from turning into a Dostoevsky mini novel, we’ll keep the introduction brief. Year after year, starting pitcher is the position that bring us the most heartache and pain. The position in and of itself is inherently volatile, injury-laden and the most difficult to project. There are just so many other influences outside Read More!

Position Tiers Overview: OF
Keeping the intro short here since the position floats in a sea of great depth and there is so much to cover at each tier.

Position Tiers Overview: 2B & SS
The middle infield is loaded with fantasy goodness like never before in the history of baseball, specifically the shortstop position. It is not just that one-third of the first round in 15-team leagues is represented by them (five of 15), but by the fact that shortstop is incredibly deep throughout the player pool.

Position Tiers Overview: 1B, 3B & DH
Drafting corner infielders have traditionally been synonymous with the necessity of locking in our power numbers. First and third base is where we have traditionally found our big boppers – the guys who could put 30-100 on the board with ease every ear. It’s still the case, but the landscape has changed a bit as Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.
