Welcome to June, and to something a little different this week, although it may end up a one-week affair. Today we suggest a couple cuts each at varying league sizes: 10, 12, and 14-15 teams. Recommendations in one league size obviously apply to smaller leagues. You can also feel free to drop a shallower suggestion in a deeper league. Generally, however, the dividing line is there for a reason.Stats are through Friday, May 31. The usual weekly notes do not apply, of course. Also, the [...]

Toronto Blue Jays starter Marcus Stroman allowed one run on four hits through five innings of work during a 10-1 win over the San Diego Padres on Sunday afternoon. Stroman only struck out two batters while walking one. The 28-year-old now owns a 3-6 record to go along with a 2.74 ERA, 1.33 [...]

As a fan of Lucas Giolito and his potential for the last couple of years, I have to admit I'm bummed about his last outing. A complete game, four-hit shutout on the road against the Houston Astros, MLB's top offensive team???This would be great, except couldn't you have waited until I finished this article first? By mid-May it was obvious he was already on to something with his improved control. Then there's the fact I didn't have the guts to put him in my rotation days after picking him up in a[...]

As regular readers may already be aware, in addition to this and my other weekly columns, I manage RotoBaller's Waiver Wire List.

Mid-May marks the fantasy baseball season's quarter pole, which can be exciting as data becomes robust, but also frightful for pitching as warmer air leads to long flies. Are you keeping tabs of park factors, team stats and pitchers tweaking with their repertoire? [...]

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman surrendered eight hits and four runs (three earned) over 6 1/3 innings in a 7-2 loss to the White Sox on Saturday. Stroman recorded four strikeouts and didn't issue a walk as he fell to 1-6 on the season, tying him with Nationals starter Anibal Sanchez for the Major League lead in losses. The 28-year-old will hope for better results in next week's road rematch against the [...]

Toronto Blue Jays starter Marcus Stroman allowed six runs (five earned) on eight hits through 4 2/3 innings of work during Monday's 8-0 loss to the Minnesota Twins. He struck out two batters while walking two. Stroman has now had two ineffective starts in a row after a dynamite beginning to the 2019 campaign. The 28-year-old owns a 1-5 record on the season to go along with a 2.96 ERA, 1.29 [...]
