This article references Mark Teixeira and more! Teixeira launched a three-run homer in the seventh to give the Yankees the lead. He also singled and scored a run earlier in the game. The first baseman did his damage against right-handers, whom he should continue to mash. But if the switch-hitter can improve on the .223 average he posted against southpaws last year, he could be a top-10 fantasy first baseman.Keep on reading: Mark Teixeira Has Big Day

Mark Teixeira finds himself in another terrific matchup but may go overlooked with most people choosing to pay up at first base.

This article references Adrian Gonzalez, Albert Pujols, Brandon Belt, Eric Hosmer, Lucas Duda, Mark Teixeira, Miguel Cabrera, Paul Goldschmidt, Prince Fielder and more! In any fantasy baseball draft the pool of players at first base is always the deepest. This provides ample time to fill other needs before settling on a lesser player when unable to draft Paul Goldschmidt or Miguel Cabrera. There are a surplus of first basemen that are capable of hitting over 25 homeruns and driving in at least 85 RBI. Adrian Gonzalez’s consistency, despite his numbers declining slightly with age, makes him a solid bang for your buck, but his type is also a dime a dozen. Ro[...]Keep on reading: A-Gon Shouldn't Be Gone Too Early

This article references Brett Gardner, Greg Bird, Mark Teixeira and more! The calendar flipped to August, and Mark Teixeira was on pace to play his first full season since 2011. His numbers, MVP-considerable; 28 home runs and 73 RBI's, flirting with production similar to his first two seasons as a Yankee and his early Texas Rangers years. Halfway through August, the 2015 All-Star fractured a bone in his right foot. Season over. Another injury, adding to the nightmarish latter part of his stint in New York. His career-renassaince, simply a tease. Now in 2016, Teix[...]Keep on reading: Is Mark Teixeira Capable of Playing a Full Season?

Pierzynski, Alex Rodriguez, Andrew Knapp, Andrew Susac, Anthony Garcia, Austin Barnes, Blake Swihart, Brian McCann, Buster Posey, Cameron Rupp, Carlos Beltran, Carlos Ruiz, Chance Sisco, Cole Hamels, David Peralta, Ender Inciarte, Francisco Cervelli, Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, Ike Davis, Jorge Alfaro, Josh Thole, Josh Willingham, Kevin Plawecki, Kyle Schwarber, Mark Teixeira, Martin Prado, Max Stassi, Miguel Montero, Pablo Sandoval, Peter O'Brien, R.A. Dickey, Russell Martin, Travis d'Arnaud, Tyler Clippard, Welington Castillo, Willson Contreras, Yadier Molina, Yasmany Tomas and more! 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

This article references 1B, 2B, 3B, A, Brett Lawrie, C, C.J. Cron, Greg Bird, Jonathan Schoop, Mark Teixeira, Matt Holliday, OF, Randal Grichuk, RB, SP, SS, Stephen Piscotty, TE, WR and more! I’d planned to implore you all this week, yet again, to add Jung-ho Kang for the stretch run. Unfortunately, Kang suffered a torn MCL on a nasty collision in the field on Thursday. He’ll need at least six months to rehab the injury and could miss a significant chunk of time at the start of next season. It’s a disappointing end to a great first year in the States. Here’s hoping he heals quickly. That said, there are still plenty of players on the wire who can help your fantasy squad. L[...]Keep on reading: Five Corner Infield Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds for Week 25

While the rest of your league mates might overlook their rosters on the first week of NFL action, don’t make the mistake of ignoring your roster. Here are the injuries to know about as the 2015 season winds down. Success ... read more »

Over the next several weeks, we'll be covering dynasty prospects at every position. I'll do my best to provide a thorough list with analysis for some of my favorite picks. There will be a few blind spots - particularly in the lower minors and international leagues. If there is ever a player you think deserves mention, I'd like to hear about it. The surest way to contact me is via Twitter @BaseballATeam. I intend to actively cultivate and update these rankings. Don't worry, we'll re-publish aft[...]Keep on reading: First Base Prospect And Dynasty Rankings

This article references 1B, 2B, 3B, A, C, Danny Valencia, Giancarlo Stanton, Greg Bird, Jed Lowrie, Justin Bour, Mark Teixeira, OF, RB, San Diego Padres, SP, SS, TE, WR, Yangervis Solarte and more! We’ve officially entered crunch time, no matter which format you play. If you’re still the hunt for glory, congratulations! The players we’ll cover today are far from sexy names, but if you’ve gotten this far, you likely understand that nothing matters but the numbers – especially now. These waiver wire columns typically use a 50% ownership rate as the cutoff point. Today’s edition dives a bit deeper, as the ownership rate of all five players combined comes out just above that mar[...]Keep on reading: Five Corner Infield Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds for Week 24

This article references 1B, 2B, 3B, A, C, Cody Anderson, Greg Bird, Jed Lowrie, Jedd Gyorko, Jorge De La Rosa, Justin Bour, Mark Teixeira, OF, SP, SS, TE, WR and more! Sometimes it is really easy to pick six players to write a waiver wire article on, especially when they are playing the six players in discussion today. Hello and once again welcome to the Deep/Very Deep waiver wire column for playoffs: Week 1. Today, as I stated, we will be discussing six players (four batters, two starting pitchers) who are widely available and are playing very well. Hopefully you are sold by the end of this piece, because they won't be widely available for much longer. [...]Keep on reading: Deep/Very Deep Waiver Wire: Start of Playoffs
