MLB Seasonal Articles
2024 Player Profile: Nick Pivetta
Nick Pivetta has punched out 175 batters in three straight seasons, even though he only made 16 starts last season, which is certainly impressive. There’s no question he’s locked into the Red Sox rotation to begin the 2024 season, and we know that strikeouts will follow. Other than missing bats, what other skills does he Read More!

2024 Player Profile: Shota Imanaga
He certainly wasn’t the biggest import this offseason on the mound, but the Cubs were more than happy to settle for the runner-up to Yoshi Yamamoto. The Cubs gave Shota Imanaga 4-years and $53 million to pitch out of their rotation (there are two more option years that could take the deal to 6-80). Who Read More!

2024 Player Profile: Matt Wallner
There are a bunch of players in baseball who could hit 30-homers if given a chance to play every day. One of those men is the towering Matt Wallner of the Twins. What does his overall game look like beyond the obvious power stroke and what does all of that mean when it comes to Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2024 Player Profile: Shane Bieber
In 2020, during the Covid shortened season, the best pitch in the American League was Shane Bieber. He was tabbed the Cy Young Winner that season while also finishing 4th in the MVP vote after he led the league in victories (eight), ERA (1.63), strikeouts (122), strikeouts per nine (14.2) and hits allowed per nine Read More!

2024 Player Profile: Brendan Donovan
When he arrived in the bigs, his calling card was his defensively flexibility. He got on base but he didn’t drive the baseball though, muting his offensive output. In year two he started to lift the baseball more and it appears that he is primed for his best season in year three. Just who is Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2024: The Closer Grid, Preseason
I believe all fantasy baseball leagues should move on to Solds (saves + holds). I know most don’t buy that line of thought, though for the life of me, I cannot understand the reluctance to go in this direction (I even went as far as suggesting it might be wise to use Team Bullpens at one point). Regardless, we Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2024 Player Profile: Cristopher Sanchez
Twelve months ago, no one ever said the words – Cristopher Sanchez – at a draft. It simply didn’t happen. Ever. Twelve months later, after 19 impressive outings, the outlook has changed with the Phillies’ hurler. He’s not a prime target for folks if you look at his ADP, but it is clear that folks Read More!

2024 Tommy John Report
The 2024 season is rapidly approaching, so it is good to know what pitchers are on the shelf due to what has become somewhat of a pitcher’s birthright. Tommy John surgery is a procedure to repair the ulnar collateral ligament or UCL in the elbow. No one really knows what leads to the injury but Read More!

2024 – Solds Rankings
I’m all about making changes if they move the game of fantasy baseball forward. I think an easy way to do that is with reworking how we evaluate relievers. I’ve written repeatedly about Solds, which is saves+holds, and why it should replace the standard outdated saves category that so many leagues still employ. It is time Read More!

2024 Player Profile: Shea Langeliers
The lead catcher of the Athletics, Shea Langeliers played 135 games with 490 plate appearances in his first full season in the big leagues. Only eight catchers played more games and just 11 had more plate appearances and the youngster figures to get all the playing time his body can handle yet again in 2024. Read More!

2024: One Player Per Team
A while back I wrote a quick hitting column that highlighted on player on every team. It was received well, so I thought I would do it again with a whole new set of players. Here is a quick not on one player for every squad. Let’s go! TEAMPLAYER NOTEArizona DiamondbacksOutside top-10 at C, Gabriel Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2024 Player Profile: Sean Murphy
Sean Murphy had a hell of a season last year. Despite that fact, some were disappointed in his effort. His production slowed later in the year and the Braves, rather inexplicably, curtailed his workload substantially, which is odd for one of the better all-around catchers in the game.

2024 MLB Points League Rankings
Many fantasy baseball leagues seem to go the roto route, but that does not mean they all do, not in the least. To that end, we here at FG want to be able to speak to as many of you as possible with our preseason rankings, so to that end we’ve decided to create a Read More!

2024 Player Profile: James Outman
When a rookie goes 23/16, homers and steals, people tend to take notice. When he accomplishes that level of production for the Dodgers, well then one would think he would be flying off draft boards. That really isn’t the case of James Outman which poses the question – why isn’t he a prime target in Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2024 Player Profile: Teoscar Hernandez
A step below being called a prodigious power-hitter, that doesn’t mean we should look past the powerful, but flawed, bat of Teoscar Hernandez this spring. A productive player in Toronto, he posted a solid season with the Mariners last year before signing a one year deal with the mighty Dodgers this offseason. This article will Read More!

2024 Player Profile: Nelson Velazquez
Nelson Velazquez isn’t a guy who has produced tons of big league success, but he has hit a bunch of homers in limited at-bats, and some metrics suggest he could take a significant step in 2024. Let’s explore the slugging outfielder to see what he might become in the coming season. 25 years old Bats/Throws: Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2024 Player Profile: Cole Ragans
Last season, I didn’t receive one question about Cole Ragans in the preseason. Frankly, I’m pretty sure I didn’t get one question in the first half. But, the hard throwing lefty went bananas down the stretch for the Royals after being traded from the Rangers, and with that people have pushed him so far up Read More!

The Perfect Draft: Late Pitching
There is no such thing as a perfect fantasy baseball draft. We all like to think that we can accomplish the goal, which is admirable, but it also a moving target that no one can lock down.

2024 Player Profile: Lane Thomas
Lane Thomas was a relative nobody last season when the year began, but by season’s end the Nationals’ outfielder damn near went 30/20. How did that happen? Can he take another step this season? Heck, can he even repeat the numbers from 2023 this season? 28 years old Bats/Throws: Right/Right Height/Weight: 6’0”, 200 lbs. Position: Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2024 ADP: One Up, One Down
Ray Flowers takes a look at ADP and for each round of the draft, he gives a player he likes at the cost and a player whom he doesn’t like at the cost. This isn’t to say that he is out on the players listed in the negative column. We are merely stating that these Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.
