Things aren't going well for the Cleveland Indians in 2019. The offense did very little to try and improve over the offseason, watching left fielderMichael Brantley and catcher Yan Gomes walk and trading slugger Edwin Encarnacion and infielder Yandy Diaz. Carlos Santana has looked great, but Jake Bauers has not performed as well as Diaz and the catching and outfield positions have been disasters.Then, there are the injuries. Oh boy. Jose Ramirez is healthy now but he missed some time in spring t[...]

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to take advantage of breakouts or impact bats before others sure can.The primary challenge of playing in an NL or AL-only league is often the lack of options regarding adding and subtracting players when needed. I[...]

Baseball prospects and rookies get covered extensively around baseball, whether were referring to just fantasy baseball or the sport in general. What we dont do overly well, is cover the players that fall between the cracks. [...]

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[...]

What do I, Nick Mariano, have in common with great minds such as Ken Jennings, Gary Kasparov, and Lee Sedot? Before, I wouldnt have had an answer, but now I can say that weve all had the honor of challenging incredible Artificial Intelligence minds! Nevermind that those other three guys got crushed in their Man vs. Machine rounds, this is no place for data and predictive analytics. Gosh! Wait.[...]

We continue our fantasy baseball tiered rankings analysis with a look at the star-studded outfield position[...]

The Cleveland Indians agreed to a one-year deal with free-agent outfielder Carlos Gonzalez on Saturday worth $2 million in base salary with $1 million in incentives. Car-Go will also receive a non-roster invite to spring training. The left-handed slugger hit .276/.329/.467 with 16 home runs in 132 games in his final season with Colorado. The 33-year-old has 231 homers in his 11 years in the majors. Given Cleveland's lack of options in the outfield, Gonzalez could win a roster spot, but his fanta[...]
