It's been awhile since I offered up the top catching prospects for dynasty leagues (also first base, second base, shortstop, and third base). With the fantasy season fast approaching, we'll spend the next few weeks blitzing through outfielders and pitchers. There is a daunting quantity of outfield prospects. Anytime you're feeling overwhelmed by a task, you should break it into manageable chunks. So that's what we're going to do today by looking at the outfielders of the NL East. The sheer [...]Keep on reading: 2016 Outfield Prospects and Dynasty Rankings - NL East Edition

If you are lucky enough to own either of the top two first basemen, consider yourself very fortunate. Paul Goldschmidt is arguably the best baseball player in the world, and Anthony Rizzo isn’t far behind.  Overall, there is plenty of talent available at 1B and the position is deep.  First base is a power bat position, but the elite first baseman also steal bases. After the top two, there isn’t much long term upside. Most are talented veterans who will produce as long as they stay h[...]Keep on reading: Top 10 Dynasty First Basemen For 2016

In this article I rank the Top Five Keeper Values among First Basemen. These rankings are derived from my 15 step formula. The Keeper Valuation Formula uses the players’ age, draft round, number of teams in the league, current stats, projected stats, games played percentage, positional value, and some secret squirrel statistical math. The product is a TRUE Keeper Value for each player. Consider the derived Values the same as a discou[...]Keep on reading: 2016 Top Five First Basemen Keeper Values

Welcome back to our weekly series running through November looking at players at each position who experienced breakout campaigns. I'll also run another segment detailing the busts at each position. Previously we looked at breakouts and busts up the middle (2B, SS, C). Here we will be focusing on the hot corners. No, Paul Goldschmidt returning to his place as the No. 1 first basemen does not count as a breakout. In addition to focusing on breakout players and what went right in 2015, I'l[...]Keep on reading: Breakout Players at 1B and 3B and What It Means For 2016

Things are starting to get real ugly in Queens. As the Mets surge toward their first playoff berth in over five years, controversy runs amuck in the front office and the clubhouse. And not the kind of controversy you would see on Scandal. Last week, agent Scott Boras all but dictated terms to the Mets front office and explained that his client, Matt Harvey, is not to exceed 180 innings on the season. The next day, Harvey seemingly agreed with his agent’s mindset as he did agree that the doctor[...]Keep on reading: Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 23 (Part 1)

It is now the 21-week anniversary of this column. Each week, I've considered writing about Arizona's breakout star, A.J. Pollock. The problem is, I never have any idea where to put him. For the first few weeks and months of the season, he seemed like a clear 'sell high' option. Yet, there was something about his consistent, non-flashy style of play that lead me to believe that he was the real deal. Well, here we are in late-August, and Pollock remains one of the hottest, if not the hottest, h[...]Keep on reading: Buy Low and Sell High Hitters for Fantasy Baseball (Week 21)
