2019 Player Profile: Tyler Glasnow

The Opener In 2019
The Opener came into vogue last season. You know, the reliever that starts a game who might face just the first couple of batters or even pitch into the second inning, and then is relieved by a guy who goes on to pitch roughly the same number of innings as a backend starter (4-5 innings Read More!

2019 Player Profile: Elvis Andrus
Twelve months ago, Elvis Andrus was coming off a 20/25 season and was the toast of the fantasy community. Flash forward to March 2019 and he’s a virtual afterthought for most.

2019 Player Profile: Jorge Soler
A former top-25 MLB prospect, Jorge Soler has never lived up to his early billing.

2019 Player Profile: Nathan Eovaldi
Nathan Eovaldi can dominate an opponent at any moment. He can struggle to go deep into games at any moment. He can find himself on the sidelines dealing with some physical malady at any moment.

2019 Player Profile: Chris Archer
At times in his career, Chris Archer has dominated the opponent and produced copious levels of fantasy success. Always a strikeout arm, Archer and his slider seems to dominate opponents frequently.

2019 Player Profile: Anthony DeSclafani
As I noted in my Breakout Pitcher of the Year column, Anthony DeSclafani was someone that I really liked (yes, the S is capitalized). Taking a look at his current ADP, it’s clear that the overall fantasy universe certainly isn’t in agreement with my position. In fact, in the majority of leagues, DeSclafani isn’t someone Read More!

DraftCheat’s Pitchers to Target: Joe Musgrove
(NFBC Rank: 60; DC Rank: 32) Pirates’ starter Joe Musgrove turned in a solid 2018 season after being traded from the Astros in the Gerrit Cole deal.
