The trade deadline has breathed new life into clubs looking to make a push for October and opened up opportunities for some players to let their games shine at a higher level. Discussed in this article are six players that can be of handy use to fantasy baseball managers who are competing in deep leagues for Week 18 amid the chaos of the trade deadline fallout. Editor’s Note: For other waiver wire options, check out RotoBaller’s fantasy baseball waiver wire pickups list. It's updated ever[...]Keep on reading: Deep League Waiver Wire: Week 18

Welcome to the final installment of RotoBaller's midseason rankings. We'll cover the top 25 outfielders today, and the rest of the top 60 tomorrow. The tiers for both rankings will be named after television dramas. The invitation to berate me on Twitter (@amoralpanic) for either set of rankings remains open.   Tier 1 - Breaking Bad Bryce Harper Mike Trout Well, duh. Trout is never going to steal 49 bases again like he did as a rookie, but he's on pace for his first 40 homer seaso[...]Keep on reading: Fantasy Baseball Midseason Rankings: Outfield, Part 1

Welcome to the All-Star break, which gives us the chance to catch our breath roughly halfway through the marathon of the regular season. Rather than the composite approach we took to our preseason rankings, we're offering tiered rankings for each position. I had planned to name each tier after Coen Brothers films, but Alex Chamberlain beat me to the punch. So even though he doesn't have No Country for Old Men or Fargo as the top tier and is therefore objectively wrong, I'm not going to steal [...]Keep on reading: Fantasy Baseball Midseason Rankings: First Base

Over the course of the season I’ll be giving you two players at second base and shortstop per week who I think can help your team. These players are usually widely available in any format, and should turn nice profits in the weeks to come. As always, feel free to reach out to me directly @Roto_Dubs with any questions about the middle infield or fantasy baseball in general.

The All-Star votes are in and the baseball world is baffled. Luckily, most of those undeserving Royals were voted off the island in the final days, leaving mostly competent players on the starting AL squad. Still, no matter how you look at it, the results of the final All-Star teams (reserves included) do not line up with the players having the best seasons. Of course, the All-Star game and fantasy baseball operate in two very different universes. That doesn't stop owners from making decisio[...]Keep on reading: Week 14 Buy and Sell Hitters for Fantasy Baseball: All-Star Edition

In the past few weeks, there have been a ton of home runs in the MLB from an unlikely cast of characters. Well, not completely unlikely. In the meantime, the guys you expect to be slugging homers have been cold at the plate. I'm here to tell you how to make the most of these recent power eruptions and get a great deal on a legitimate superstar at the same time.

That trade between the Atlanta Braves and the Arizona Diamondbacks is very odd to me. In case you missed it, The DBacks traded an injured and old Bronson Arroya and 19 year-old pitching prospect Touki Toussaint for utility man Phil Gosselin. That Diamondbacks must have seen something that most people don’t in Gosselin. Or maybe they just saw something bad in Toussaint. Toussaint is a very highly touted pitching prospect within the Diamondbacks system. And though the Braves have to eat the con[...]Keep on reading: Minor League Spotlight: Top Fantasy Prospects from Week 11

It's never too early to look ahead to next season, especially if the current fantasy campaign has been a profound disappointment. If you're floating at the bottom of the standings in a re-draft league, your odds of making a playoff push are slim at this point. Sure, you can play daily fantasy, but this is why I prefer keeper and dynasty formats over any other, because the season is never over, you can always look to make moves to set yourself up for next year. One of the ways to put yourself [...]Keep on reading: Fantasy Baseball Week 11 Stock Watch: The Next Generation of Fantasy Studs
