From the Gut: This Year’s Yelich
Around this time last season, I made a rather bold prediction about Christian Yelich. In hindsight, I may have even been underselling since Yelich did end up winning the National League MVP and easily returned first-round value on what was his best MLB season. As most know, I rode the Yelich train all season, but Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

DraftCheat’s Pitchers to Target: Shane Bieber
2018 Season in Review Shane Bieber forced his way into the Indians rotation early last season as a 22-year old rookie with just a year and a half of experience in the minor leagues.

2019 Player Profile: Wil Myers
Wil Myers, yes that fella with the Padres, is a multi-time 20/20 performer.

I’m here to speak about his elite level wheels for the corner infield, his outlook with the Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2019 Player Profile: Miguel Andujar
The number two qualifier in the 2018 AL ROY voting, Miguel Andujar had one heck of a season for the Bronx Bombers.

Overall Rankings Are Useless
I wasn’t planning on writing this article this season. I thought that, after years of explaining why Overall Rankings lists are a waste of time, that people would stop asking for it. I was wrong.

DraftCheat’s Pitchers to Target: Trevor Bauer
In this series I’ll be taking an in-depth look at pitchers I’m targeting in 2019 drafts.

2019 Player Profile: Adalberto Mondesi
After two years of horrid work in the majors, Adalberto Mondesi exploded on the fantasy scene in 2018 offering 75 games of elite level production.

2019 Player Profile: Andrew Heaney
Andrew Heaney took a long while to arrive. He finally did last season though there were still some obvious concerns.
