Yasiel Puig, Matt Kemp, Alex Wood Become Reds rotoballer.com Mon 12/24/18 11:30 AM
Starting pitcher Alex Wood, catcher Kyle Farmer, and outfielders Matt Kemp and Yasiel Puig are trading Dodger blue for the bright kit of the Cincinnati Reds. The trio was traded for Homer Bailey and prospects in what was essentially a salary dump for Los Angeles as they attempt to sign or trade for more superstars. The Dodgers run for that elusive championship has hit a breaking point, and they decided that the aging [...]
Dynasty Baseball Top 10 Catcher Prospects rotoballer.com Fri 12/7/18 9:15 AM
In 2018, the average catcher in fantasy baseball posted a WRC+ of 90. That means that, on average, a catcher in the Majors was ten percent worse than any other position. If this does not show the dearth of talent right now for fantasy owners at the position than nothing will. This, in fact, keeps a trend moving. Some blame the role of defense for the drop in offensive production; others say this is just a bad crop. [...]
Danny Jansen Reaches Base Three Times rotoballer.com Mon 9/24/18 12:02 PM
Toronto Blue Jays rookie catcher Danny Jansen was 2-for-2 with a run scored and a walk in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. Jansen endured a dismal cold streak during the first few weeks of September, but he's now batting .313 with two homers and five RBI over his last seven games. Jansen is the future behind-the-plate for the Blue Jays. He has been a productive minor league hitter over the past two seasons and an offseason of MLB training should only improve his fortunes heading into 20[...]
Danny Jansen Crushes Second Homer In Three Games rotoballer.com Fri 9/21/18 4:07 PM
Toronto Blue Jays rookie catcher Danny Jansen smacked a three-run shot in the bottom of the ninth inning during Thursday's 9-8 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. That was Jansen's only hit of the contest. The 23-year-old has two homers and five RBI in his past three games. Jansen was a productive hitter in the minor leagues and should continue to improve as he becomes more adjusted to MLB pitching. He has limited fantasy appeal for the remainder of this season but could be an intriguing option behind[...]
Rookie Report: Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 25) rotoballer.com Thu 9/20/18 7:45 AM
In this week's Rookie Report, we'll be taking a look at several catchers making an impact in fantasy this month.
Francisco Mejia made a splash in his first start for the Padres, hitting his first and second career home runs while driving in four in the 6-2 win over the Reds. While Mejia may have had the more flashy performance, he is not the only rookie catcher putting up good numbers as the Blue Jays are getting solid production out of Reese McGuire and Danny Jansen this month. On top of the[...]
Danny Jansen Hits First Homer Since August 14 rotoballer.com Tue 9/18/18 11:30 AM
Toronto Blue Jays rookie catcher Danny Jansen was 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Monday's 5-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles. The big fly was Jansen's first homer since the second game of his MLB career on August 14. The power has just not been there, as Jansen only has two home runs and five RBI on the season. His .254 average is decent enough, but his statistics across the board should improve heading into 2019. Jansen is the catcher of the future in Toronto and can be a viable player in kee[...]
Danny Jansen Batting .200 Over Last 15 Games rotoballer.com Thu 9/13/18 1:03 AM
Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen was 0-for-2 with a walk in Wednesday night's 1-0 loss to the Boston Red Sox. After a solid start to his MLB career, the 23-year-old has been slumping hard in recent games. Jansen is just 8-for-40 (.200) in his last 15 games with no home runs and no RBI. He is the Blue Jays third-ranked prospect, per MLB.com, and should be able to rebound in the future. With that being said, he has no fantasy value for the remainder of 2018.
