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.
Heading into Friday’s games, five teams remain undefeated after sweeping their season-opening series. However, that will drop to four as two of those teams play each other this weekend.
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
Top Five Dynasty / Keeper Third Basemen rotoballer.com Wed 4/8/15 11:02 AM
This article references Adrian Beltre, Anthony Rendon, Chris Davis, Evan Longoria, Josh Donaldson, Kris Bryant, Kyle Seager, Manny Machado, Miguel Cabrera, Nick Castellanos, Nolan Arenado, Pablo Sandoval, Todd Frazier and more! In a surprising turn of events, no veteran third basemen made the Top Five Dynasty/Keeper list. Veterans like Evan Longoria, Chris Davis, Todd Frazier and Josh Donaldson are too old to crack my top five. Much respect to those guys, but a new generation of third basemen has arrived. Let's take a look.
The Fantasy Future of Third Base
5) Kyle Seager, 3B, Seattle Mariners
Most consider Josh Donaldson a top five Dynasty 3B and for a hot minute, I considered it, but I just don[...]Keep on reading: Top Five Dynasty / Keeper Third Basemen
Top 10 for Runs: 2015 Fantasy Baseball Rankings rotoballer.com Sat 3/14/15 7:49 AM

It can be rather tricky in attempting to properly analyze and predict which players will score the most runs in the future. Short of Tony Kornheiser playing the fortune teller on PTI, baseball predictions for individuals can be decimated by several factors. Injury, well-placed defensive shifts and the failure of teammates to come through can all ruin a player’s individual numbers especially in run production.
How To Project Runs In Fantasy Baseball
After assessing the top ten f[...]Keep on reading: Top 10 for Runs: 2015 Fantasy Baseball Rankings

Griffin, Ben Zobrist, Brandon Moss, Brett Lawrie, Coco Crisp, Derek Norris, Jarrod Parker, Jeff Samardzija, Jon Lester, Josh Donaldson, SP, Stephen Vogt, Tyler Clippard, WR and more! Teams usually perform close to the expectations they are given at the start of the season.
The Oakland Athletics had few expectations coming into the 2012 season. With a projected 79-win season and third place in the American League West, fans expected another rebuilding year. Even at the All-Star Break, the A’s sat at a 43-43 season. After a 50-26 streak to end the season, Oakland stole the AL West title from the Texas Rangers in the final game of the season. This reinvigorated the fan bas[...]Keep on reading: Can Oakland Surprise The League Again?
Beltre Extended through 2016, Will Likely Finish Career in Texas rotoballer.com Tue 2/24/15 11:34 PM
This article references Adrian Beltre, DEF, Josh Donaldson, Mike Trout, SP and more! In an attempt to avoid any unnecessary off the field story lines during spring training, the Texas Rangers and third baseman Adrian Beltre have agreed to guarantee the option in his contract for 2016.
The 2016 contract option was contingent on Beltre reaching 600 plate appearances in 2015, but Rangers GM Jon Daniels has been on record saying "I just don't want the clause to be a story...I don't want that to be even a thought." According to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports, in the process of waiving[...]Keep on reading: Beltre Extended through 2016, Will Likely Finish Career in Texas
