A starter, a starter! My fantasy league for a starter! [...]

There is no such thing as a pitching prospect, well, except in dynasty baseball. As much as pitching prospects offer headaches to any team, real or fantasy, pitching is still a necessary addition to most rosters. Adding top names offers protections for those busts, but also gives owners the tools to go out and make other trades during the season. Defense might win championships, but starting pitching keeps a team in the hunt all year.To support that fact, we are back with top starting pitching p[...]

Chicago White Sox rookie starter Michael Kopech was pitching fine until the fourth inning of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. In that inning, Kopech allowed six hits, three home runs, and six runs before being yanked. He finished with a line of 3 1/3 innings, allowing seven runs on nine hits, with one walk and six strikeouts. Kopech has started his Major League career on a high note, but simply struggled with command on [...]

You know what it is--it's my updated starts/sits column for Week 23! Your friendly neighborhood @Roto_Dubs is back again this year with his weekly starting pitcher matchups. This is our fifth year now writing this weekly column, helping fantasy baseball managers pick the best pitchers weekly.

Same report, new management this week, as I will take over the Rookie Report for Max for the remainder of the season. I've been writing about the hot prospects dynasty owners should be keeping an eye on this year, and now I'll also be diving into the best rookies for fantasy owners to pay attention to right now. Until we see Eloy Jimenez or Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (finally) called up, Michael Kopech will remain the biggest "new" rookie in fantasy baseball. Kopech has electric stuff and his fant[...]

Hello everyone, and welcome to my weekly Top-30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies! In this series, I will be going over the top prospects in baseball and discussing which ones figure to have an impact for the rest of this fantasy baseball season. The San Diego Padres made the biggest prospect splash over the past week, promoting Luis Urias to the big-league roster. With one of the best hit tools in the minors, Urias figures to have an incredibly high fantasy floor and could develop into an [...]

Can you believe that the minor league season is almost over? Just one more week left before playoffs begin. We've taken a look at a lot of prospects this year — some who are nearly household names by now and others who are flying under the radar. This week's list doesn't feature a "big-name" prospect along the lines of Michael Kopech, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. or Eloy Jimenez, but one of the players in this list might not be far off from joining their ranks. Wander Franco was recently named the[...]

Welcome to our surprising starts series. Every week we'll be going over a few surprising starting pitcher performances around the majors to determine whether these starts were smoke and mirrors or something more. This week we saw the promotion of a big time pitching prospect, an unheralded spot starter come up big for the Cubs, and Wei-Yin Chen take his home/road splits to a new extreme. Michael Kopech's debut was cut short by rain on Tuesday, but that's okay since he held the Tigers to on[...]

With the fantasy playoffs looming around the corner (or, in some instances, in full swing), rookie impact becomes less and less important due to the fact that there simply aren't any great stashes remaining. A top prospect being promoted for a cup of coffee can make a huge impact, but there does not profile to be a ton of guys who will fill that role this season, making the prospect pool even less intriguing for fantasy purposes. That does not mean, however, that there will not be any cups [...]
