Baseball is back! Opening Day of the 2019 MLB slate came and went last week, but now we have the start of the minor league season to look forward to this week. Fantasy owners, especially those in dynasty/keeper leagues, are always looking for the next young stud prospect that might be a difference-maker at the next level.That's where we come in! If you aren't already familiar with this year's 2019 top-prospects list by MLB Pipeline, here you go. Many of the top names on this list -- Fernando Tat[...]

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen went 1-for-4 with a home run, two runs, an RBI and a walk on Thursday on Opening Day to start his Phillies tenure.McCutchen led the game off with a home run off Braves starter Julio Teheran. He did little more to produce after that, other than a walk and a run scored. Batting leadoff for the Phillies is as much protection as most hitters will ever see in their career. He should be a run-scoring machine all season, especially while leading off for[...]

That's GOLD, Jerry! GOLD!RotoSurgeon here with my first ever "gold predictions" piece. Many of you may not be familiar with my work because I have not been with RotoBaller as long as some of my esteemed colleagues. It is reasonable to not trust nor care about what I say because of my lack of fantasy longevity/relevance, but I felt compelled to throw my hat in the ring here regardless.If most of my predictions turn out true, I guarantee that I will screenshot them on Twitter for my victory lap. I[...]

Before listing the three National League outfielders destined for breakout seasons, its best to define what I classified as a breakout candidate. I decided to choose players that fantasy owners have seen on the waiver wire over the past few seasons. Perhaps these players have even found their way onto a roster or two.However, it is this upcoming season in which they will contribute to a fantasy team in a significant way for the first time. That means no rookies such as Nick Senzel or Victor Robl[...]

As we enter the final stretch for drafting it is time to take a look at the latest iteration of points leagues rankings from our amazing hard working rankings staff. Starting with the outfield is always fun because there is so much depth at the position, especially if you only require three of them, as many points leagues do. However, even if your league has switched to five outfielders there is still a lot of value, both within the top-60 at the position and below.Points leagues are always toug[...]

The constant and inevitable churn of players and teams continued this offseason, as it does being "constant" and all. A change of scenery having an effect in and of itself is a bit cliche and probably inaccurate, but changing parks and changing teammates will certainly have its effect on a player's stat line.One player for whom the cliche may apply this year is Yasiel Puig, who never quite fit in with the Dodgers. But even for him, the ballpark matters a great deal; as fellow writer David Emeric[...]

Bold predictions. The time where we come up with ideas that should happen because in our minds they make sense. Statistical analysis, prognostication, voodoo, card reader, etc. None of these are completely certain methods to achieve the forecast that we have in mind. So, we put our idea to text, bury them in the digital yard, and we come back in seven months to see how they've aged. [...]
