Welcome back, readers. Hopefully you've enjoyed the first three segments of this series as we look further into players that broke out in 2015 and others that received the "bust" label. This edition will focus on corner infielders that failed to deliver on their expectations.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 47% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: After struggling through much of the first half, Mauer has shown signs of life lately. He’s slashed .319/.382/.495 over the past month, with four of his six homers on the season coming in that span. Mauer’s age and injury history are a concern, and his lack of power makes him a less than ideal option at first base. However, he’s a .316 career hitter and his batted ball data suggests improvement on [...]Keep on reading: Joe Mauer (1B, MIN) – Waiver Wire Analysis

Welcome to the All-Star break, which gives us the chance to catch our breath roughly halfway through the marathon of the regular season. Rather than the composite approach we took to our preseason rankings, we're offering tiered rankings for each position. I had planned to name each tier after Coen Brothers films, but Alex Chamberlain beat me to the punch. So even though he doesn't have No Country for Old Men or Fargo as the top tier and is therefore objectively wrong, I'm not going to steal [...]Keep on reading: Fantasy Baseball Midseason Rankings: First Base

I don’t want someone else to tell me whom to pick up off the waiver wire or which hitter or pitcher I should ta[...]Keep on reading: Fantasy Baseball Stock Watch: Starting Pitcher Watch List for Week 2

It was a lighter day on the diamond Thursday, as only 18 of the 30 teams in Major League Baseball played. And for the fifth consecutive day, there was at least one game that featured a shutout.

Take a look at some of the news, notes, highlights and numbers from Thursday, April 9th. All of Friday’s match[...]Keep on reading: Day 4 Recap: MLB News and Notes for April 10th

The term sleeper is overused and commonly confused in fantasy sports. Too many people confuse the concept of a player being undervalued (i.e. a player getting drafted in the seventh round that is going to return fifth round value) versus a player being a true sleeper.   In a 12 team, 5x5 league that is typically played by fantasy owners, the end of the draft is oftentimes where the league is won. For the purpose of this post, we are going to identify three different categories of deep sle[...]Keep on reading: Five Undervalued Corner Infielders for 2015
