Jimmy Rollins went 3-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI to boost his average to .268 on the season along with a nifty .734 OPS. He also stole his first bag of 2016. He is still getting plenty of off days as the [...]

ANALYSIS: Jimmy Rollins won the starting job with a strong spring, and can bring decent pop to your team on the days that he plays.

This article references and more! It has to be rough to be a fan of Philadelphia sports right now. The 76ers are purposefully tanking to get higher draft picks, the Eagles just lost the division to the Redskins, the Flyers are only a mediocre team at best, and the Phillies are still mired in a very long rebuilding process. This past season saw them deal franchise players Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins, and Cole Hamels (all necessary moves) and they still appear to be a few years away from reaching the ability to compete again. Th[...]Keep on reading: Top 10 Dynasty Prospects: Philadelphia Phillies

This article references Brandon Crawford, Carlos Correa, Carlos Gomez, Corey Seager, Dee Gordon, Elvis Andrus, Evan Gattis, Francisco Lindor, George Springer, Jed Lowrie, Jimmy Rollins, Jose Altuve, Kris Bryant, Kyle Seager, Xander Bogaerts and more! These rankings are derived from my 15 step formula. The Keeper Valuation Formula uses the players’ age, draft round, number of teams in the league, current stats, projected stats, games played percentage, positional value, and some secret squirrel statistical math. The product is a true Keeper Value for each player. Consider the derived Values the same as a discount sales sticker at the supermarket. Essentially, my keeper values are the amount of discount a fantasy owner is gaining or NOT[...]Keep on reading: 2016 Top Five Shortstop Keeper Values

Welcome back friends. I hope you enjoyed the pilot article of this segment detailing the breakouts at 2B, SS, and C in 2015. This edition is more of a buzzkill - the busts at each of these positions. My selections will be influenced by their respective ADP (Average Draft Position) coming into 2015. That means while Jedd Gyorko had another rough campaign, most fantasy pundits weren't shocked by the lack of production. No need to pour salt in the wounds. In addition to focusing on the bust[...]Keep on reading: Bust Players at 2B, SS, and C and What It Means for 2016

Now that we've entered the MLB offseason, it's time to talk qualifying offers. Teams will spend the next few days deciding whether or not to extend a qualifying offer to their impending free agents. The qualifying offer system was designed to replace the old arbitration-based system that used Type A, B, and C free agents. If the qualifying offer is rejected, the team will receive a compensatory pick after the first round of the amateur draft. The team signing the player will lose their first [...]Keep on reading: 2016 Free Agents and Potential Qualifying Offer Fates

As many of you all may remember, during the regular season I discussed which Top 30 prospects would have the biggest impact for fantasy owners during the regular season. This series will continue into the offseason, but will come out once a month as opposed to once a week. The only requirement to be on this list is that the player must maintain their rookie status going into 2016. That means that a batter may not have more than 130 at-bats and a pitcher may not exceed 50 innings pitched. The[...]Keep on reading: MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Rankings for 2016 Fantasy Draft (October)

September call ups are finally here! They didn't disappoint either. Today we will be discussing the most relevant call-ups for the remainder of the fantasy season. The bad news is that there is a lot of uncertainty on these high potential prospects for the rest of 2015. The good news? If you want to take a chance on a newcomer, they are all widely available. Editor’s Note: to read about even more MLB prospects, rookies and potential call-ups, be sure to check out our MLB prospects for f[...]Keep on reading: Recent Prospect Call-Ups and Their Fantasy Values (Davies, Refsnyder, Seager)

We're changing things up a bit for our September prospect series. Instead of ranking the top 30, we'll be doing two top ten lists. The first will still look at players in the minors, while this piece will look at the top 10 prospects currently in the MLB who should be scouted / picked up off the waiver wire. With rosters expanded and so many prospects up in the majors, it's just as important to look at current MLB rosters for impact prospects as the minors. A prospect will not be eligible for[...]Keep on reading: Top MLB Prospects to Pickup off the Waiver Wire Right Now

Stoneface (micro)brewery on the Seacoast of New Hampshire is FANTASTIC. Hidden in a warehouse space in a commercial office park near the highway. It has no particular appeal, other than the beer. No restaurant or bar, just a concrete floor with kegs, boxes and stacks of beer surrounding a counter with taps for tasting and filling growlers. Nothing Flashy, just great beer. They have this American IPA, referred to as Stoneface IPA, and it’s the winner. It’s the best beer. It’s a perfect b[...]Keep on reading: Cut List (Week 12): Players to Consider Cutting Bait On . . .
