Now that we've taken a look at the rest of the infield (first base, second base, shortstop, and third base), it's time evaluate a thin pool of catchers. In many ways, it's the least important fantasy position - even in dynasty leagues. A typical fantasy league might roster 15 catchers. My dynasty league rosters around 35 catchers. It's a 20-team, 45 player league (900 players rostered). Catchers make up about four percent of all players owned. Several of those catchers are amateurs or internat[...]Keep on reading: Catcher Prospect and Dynasty Rankings

In our second part, I commented on how the Astros were at least a year early by making the playoffs this year and that the future looks even better. That’s true too for the Chicago Cubs, one of the teams seeding the Mesa Solar Sox. The Oakland Athletics went into rebuilding mode this year, and the Tampa Bay Rays and Miami Marlins are perpetually rebuilding, so along with the Cubs’ and Angels’ prospects, this is going to be a very interesting club.   Top Prospects Of The Solar Sox[...]Keep on reading: Future Tense: Arizona Fall League, Part III: Mesa Solar Sox

This article references 1B, A, C, Hector Rondon, Jason Motte, Kyle Schwarber, OF, Pedro Strop, Peter O'Brien, RB, SP, SS, TE and more! It was a slow week for prospect call-ups, but two potential difference makers were called up to their major league squads. Both are widely available. Like 99% available. If you are in a very deep format or a dynasty league and are looking to add high-ceiling depth to your roster, keep these two players in mind. Editor’s Note: to read about even more MLB prospects, rookies and potential call-ups, be sure to check out our MLB prospects for fantasy baseball homepage which has lots of great[...]Keep on reading: Recent Prospect Call-Ups and Their Fantasy Values (Edwards, O’Brien)

This article references A, C, Carlos Martinez, Kyle Schwarber, OF, RB, SS, TE and more! Kyle Schwarber will return to the lineup for the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday against the St. Louis Cardinals, according to the Cubs Twitter account. The outfielder will play in left and bat second for the Cubbies as they go for their sixth straight win. A rib injury kept him out of action since Sept. 1. Luckily for Schwarber, he didn’t have to land on the DL, and is ready to play every day again. .@kschwarb12 returns to the starting lineup today behind @JLester34. Game preview: http://t.co[...]Keep on reading: Schwarber (Ribs) Returns To Starting Lineup Wednesday: Plays LF, Bats 2nd

This week's list will showcase four catchers who are making a big splash at the Waiver Wire this week or have made enough noise to warrant your attention. As per every week not every name is going to be flashy or exciting and a lot of owners do not have the need to pick up a C as a first option or as a UTIL spot in their lineups. The trick is to find value at every position you can to maximize your output from week to week or to add for the rest of the season. Take a look at these four option[...]Keep on reading: Catcher Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds: Week 22

It is now the 21-week anniversary of this column. Each week, I've considered writing about Arizona's breakout star, A.J. Pollock. The problem is, I never have any idea where to put him. For the first few weeks and months of the season, he seemed like a clear 'sell high' option. Yet, there was something about his consistent, non-flashy style of play that lead me to believe that he was the real deal. Well, here we are in late-August, and Pollock remains one of the hottest, if not the hottest, h[...]Keep on reading: Buy Low and Sell High Hitters for Fantasy Baseball (Week 21)

This week, I could make an entire #Cutlist about catchers. Savvy owners that don't employ Buster Posey, Russell Martin, Brian McCann, Carlos Santana or the great Kyle Schwarber might just consider leaving the position empty for a while. Other than Buster Posey, no catcher is ranked in the top 100 and only three are ranked in the top 150. To compare, in 2014 there were five catchers ranked in the top 150. Jonathan Lucroy, Evan Gattis, Devin Mesoraco and Carlos Santana are all having down ye[...]Keep on reading: Time to Cut Bait on These Four Players: The Week 20 Cut List
