Last year 14 players hit over 35 or more home runs; the year before that it was 18. The point is, narrowing such an impressive pool of players down to 10 is challenging.The list is realistic but I wanted to be slightly bold as well. It wouldnt be much of a prediction if we just chose the top home run hitters from last year. Coincidentally, there are three sets of teammates, and in two cases, its essentially 50/50 who will lead their team by season's end.There are obviously some notable omissions[...]

The exciting young gun versus the proven veteran. A sports debate older than fantasy baseball itself, and a decision were faced with at every draft pick. Thats why were comparing the young gun (Matt Olson) to the proven veteran (Jose Abreu), two first baseman within the same sub-elite yet startable tier that owners must decide between on draft day.Abreu is going slightly higher in NFBC leagues at around pick 83, while Olson is going at pick 109. Is it worth forking up the extra 26 spots for Abre[...]

Its never too early to start looking toward the fantasy baseball season, so Im here to kick off RotoBallers position-by-position rankings analysis series for points leagues with the hard-hitting first base position. Traditionally a power haven, first base has a fairly clearly top three tiers and then the floor starts to get frightful. It is recommended that you buy-in early or have several depth options ready to go.Our mixed-league points staff rankings come straight from the minds of myself, JB[...]

Oklahoma dual-sport athlete Kyler Murray declared for the NFL Draft on Monday, just seven months after being selected by the Oakland Athletics with the seventh overall pick in the MLB Draft. This doesnt mean he will necessarily choose to play football, but it allows him to keep his options open.There were conflicting reports regarding whether or not his reps gave the As an ultimatum in the form of $15 million but it is clear that Murray wants some form of monetary compensation to help counterb[...]

Outfield is a unique position in the fantasy world. The best of the best reside in the outfield, with our consensus top two picks and nine of the top 25 overall players making this list. On the other hand, it is by far the deepest and easiest to gain late-round value if you choose to wait. That's why it's so important to determine exactly who to target at what point in your draft, especially in leagues that require four or five OF slots.[...]

We continue our fantasy baseball tiered rankings analysis with the first base position. Even though it is only January, RotoBaller writers Nick Mariano, Pierre Camus, Chris Zolli, and I have come up with our initial pre-draft rankings to give you a sense of player values as early as possible. As the offseason progresses, these rankings are sure to change quite a bit over the coming months. [...]

Every new beginning signifies an end elsewhere. This was the case for Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez last season. The hard-hitting righty broke through in more ways than one in his first full year in the big leagues, finishing with a .239/.302/.468 line, and most importantly 22 home runs. The path to the plate wasnt clear-cut for Hernandez, though. An injury to Blue Jays' third baseman Josh Donaldson opened up a spot on the 25-man roster, but before that, expectations were tepid.[...]
