Brian Dozier Still Scuffling At The Plate rotoballer.com Tue 5/22/18 3:57 AM
Minnesota Twins second baseman Brian Dozier went 1-for-4 with a run scored in his team's 4-2 win over the Detroit Tigers on Monday. Dozier has been mired in a month-long slump, hitting just .188 with three homers, 11 runs, and nine RBI over the past 30 days. On the season, the star second baseman is hitting .230 with seven homers, 25 runs, 16 RBI, and two steals. This would be a good time to make a buy-low trade offer in leagues where you don't own Dozier just to see if you can acquire one of th[...]

Dozier is now batting .255 with seven homers, 21 runs, 15 RBI, and two steals on the season.

Minnesota Twins second baseman Brian Dozier had a fantastic day at the plate in a win over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday.

Brian Dozier Wraps Up Slow Spring rotoballer.com Wed 3/28/18 8:25 AM
Minnesota Twins second baseman Brian Dozier wrapped up a slow spring on Tuesday. Dozier finished the spring batting .222 with two homers, four runs, three RBI, and one steal. The slow spring shouldn't be a cause for concern as the veteran infielder has established himself as one of the premier fantasy options at second base over the past few years. This season, he's expected to hit atop one of the best lineups the Twins have had in his tenure with the team. Dozier will be a free agent after the [...]
Overvalued - Second Basemen Set to Bust in 2018 rotoballer.com Sat 3/17/18 3:15 AM
Predicting busts is surprisingly easy if you really think about it. Looking at a player's age is a good starting point, but their recent season performances are even more telling. The guys listed below are players who I think will underwhelm expectations in 2018.
You won't be seeing fantasy studs like Jose Ramirez or Brian Dozier on this list, though. Projecting star players to bust is usually bad practice.
With that being said, let's take a look at some second basemen set to underperfor[...]
