Just like that, we have reached the 2019 MLB All-Star Break. After virtually every day since the start of late-March has been jam-packed with baseball, ranging in time from the early morning in another country to late night on the west coast, we're going to once again have to wrap our brains around going a few days without regular season competition while the festivities kick off in Cleveland. Even for major league baseball, it's already been a weird year. That much is clear from the sheer amoun[...]

We have now completed three months of the 2019 MLB campaign, and find ourselves reanalyzing our options on July 1st with baseball fresh off of its London debut. When I think of overbearing summer heat, I picture it coming in July, right as Jaws is making his way into Amity. [...]

It's hard to believe that it's already June 24th, but then again it feels like we experience this point with every amateur and professional sport. [...]

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Kevin Newman went 2-for-6 with a pair of RBI and the game-winning walk in the 11th inning of the Pirates 11-10 victory against the Padres on Sunday. Newman has been a consistent starter for the Pirates and has rewarded their faith with a 12-game hit streak. He doesn't provide much in the way of counting stats so his fantasy value is limited. Owners in deep leagues who need a middle infielder can use Newman for an average boost while he's hot.

So we're two and a half months into the season, and a lot of pictures are becoming more clear. Some players have been lost to injury time, plenty are underperforming, and there are of course new faces rising. No matter the situation, it could be time for a roster refresh--but not just the hum-drum obvious waiver wire adds.Throughout the season, you want to get the jump on your competition and sniff out the breakout players before they break out. That's what this list is all about--using some in-[...]

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to take advantage of breakouts or impact bats before others sure can.The primary challenge of playing in an NL or AL-only league is often the lack of options regarding adding and subtracting players when needed. I[...]

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Jung Ho Kang will get the start at shortstop on Sunday with Kevin Newman taking the day off. Kang is hitting seventh in the lineup against Brewers starting pitcher Chase Anderson. Kang just returned from the injured list on Saturday and was hitting only .132/.202/.297 with four home runs and eight RBI before his injury. The 32-year-old has some power but must play regularly to be an option in deep mixed leagues. Unless Colin Moran falls flat at third base, K[...]
