Sometimes, it can be tough to turn away from the waiver wire guys who helped your team the previous year. Jesus Aguilar likely won some leagues with his 35-homer campaign out of nowhere last season. Likewise, David Dahl provided juice in all categories when he saw the field in 2018.Unfortunately, adding somebody for free off of waivers is very different from investing an early draft pick in them. Advanced metrics suggest that both players above are likely to disappoint their fantasy owners based[...]

Ken Rosenthal, followed by Jeff Passan, Joel Sherman and Jayson Stark,recently reported on negotiations between MLB and the Player's Association, especially regarding the rulebook. One of the most provocative pieces in the overarching story has been the possibility of the designated hitter coming to the National League as soon as this coming season. *cuesad tromboneRob Manfred squashed that idea, saying it won't happen until 2022 at the earliest when the CBA is negotiated, but this story is a re[...]

There is a seemingly neverending stream of useful bats, but there are still clear chokepoints where the risk portfolio thickens.

Outfield is a unique position in the fantasy world. The best of the best reside in the outfield, with our consensus top two picks and nine of the top 25 overall players making this list. On the other hand, it is by far the deepest and easiest to gain late-round value if you choose to wait. That's why it's so important to determine exactly who to target at what point in your draft, especially in leagues that require four or five OF slots.[...]

Colorado Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez (rest) remains out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. This now marks the fourth straight game that Gonzalez has been out of the starting lineup. David Dahl will play right field and bat third against righty Vince Velasquez. Dahl is hitting .299/.356/.558 with eight home runs and 25 RBI off right-handed pitching this season. He should be a reliable option for Tuesday.

Welcome to Week 26 of the Cut List. This week I took a peek at the recent performances of Nomar Mazara, Travis Shaw, Adam Eaton, and Francisco Cervelli. Now is the time to start nailing your free agent acquisitions. Each move has major implications in the final days of the season.  [...]

Welcome to Week 25 of the Cut List. This week I'm taking a look at Adam Jones, Carlos, Gonzalez, Odubel Herrera, and Starlin Castro.   All four players should be cut in most standard shallow formats. We're in the thick of the fantasy playoff season and we need to own players who are actually producing results. These four players are not.   Want some waiver wire advice to make up for those necessary cuts? Make sure you check out our waiver wire blog for the best pickup cons[...]
