2023 – 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.

2023: 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).

Fantasy Baseball Drafting: Value Targets in Double-Figure Rounds
Scott Engel of The Game Day provides late-round picks for your Fantasy Baseball drafts! The quarterback position in fantasy football has turned out to be a greater source of anxiety and stress than we expected. So far this season, some QBs who we have drafted as projected solid starters according to fantasy football rankings have not delivered as hoped. Coming into the season, there were about 12 to 14 quarterbacks fantasy players could feel comfortable drafting. In many cases, fantasy leaguers wanted to draft a “set it and forget it” QB, as having any peace of mind at any position is a relief when we spend so much time speculating on who to start throughout our lineups every week. But after three weeks, some of the quarterbacks we thought would produce at least adequately have…
