Lance Lynn still tossed a ton of innings and piled up plenty of strikeouts in 2023. However, he was a walking volcano that alternated periods of dormancy with periods of red hot offensive fireworks. After his disastrous ratio effort, is he worth a draft pick in 2024, and if so, how aggressively should we be Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

So much of the value of relievers in traditional fantasy baseball comes down to how teams handle the 9th inning. As I’ve written elsewhere, I think we are doing it wrong, but I know most leagues still use saves so the relievers that generate saves are extremely important to most.

Jake Burger, who turns 28 years old in April, had a breakout season last year. The effort was split between two teams – the White Sox and Marlins – but it was the exponential growth he showed with the Marlins late in the year that is so appealing and worthy of study heading into the Read More!

Luis Rengifo was a nobody for about half of the 2023 season. However, his bat caught fire in the second half, before injury derailed his season (a ruptured biceps tendon that is expected to be no issue this year), and that places him on the intriguing list of players for 2024, especially given his defensive Read More!

It’s not the answer to success or failure, you can be a good hitter or hurler without elite velocity numbers, but you would have to be a buffoon to say that velocity doesn’t matter.

A few years ago I dug in to birth certificates and what age may or may not tell us about player performance. I will review some of that data here, and then see if we can create a pool of hurlers that would be good targets in 2024. The Role of Age in Baseball. Some Read More!

Power is seemingly everywhere in baseball these days, but that doesn’t mean we might not still be able to fine some cheap power sources late in drafts.

Batters want to lift the ball because chicks dig the long ball (we also love this trait in fantasy baseball).
