We continue our fantasy baseball tiered rankings analysis with the second base position. The sun is still rising on 2019, but RotoBaller writers JB Branson, Pierre Camus, Chris Zolli and myself are here with our initial pre-draft rankings to give you a sense of player values as early as possible.

New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz avoided salary arbitration on Friday by agreeing to a one-year, $2.625 million deal. He made just $577,000 last season. While Matz doesn't have the upside of Jacob deGrom or Zack Wheeler, he finally was able to stay healthy in 2018 and make more than 22 starts. The left-hander was 5-11 with a 3.97 ERA, 1.25 [...]

New York Mets southpaw Steven Matz threw a gem on Saturday against the Miami Marlins in his final start of the season. Matz went six shutout innings, allowing just three hits to go along with eight strikeouts in a no-decision. The lefty will finish the 2018 season with a respectable 3.97 ERA despite a tough-luck 5-11 record. Matz gave up three runs or less in his final eight starts with the Mets and provided fantasy owners with a glimpse of his potential heading into 2019.

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago by completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked roster and you can't drop anyone. But for those of us with a couple of guys on the roster fringes, it's never too early to look into targeting a specific player or two to [...]

New York Mets southpaw Steven Matz shut out the Philadelphia Phillies for five innings on Tuesday night. Matz allowed just two hits, but walked five batters to go along with four strikeouts. The lefty had to work his way out of jams all night, and the bullpen could not preserve the lead, giving Matz a no-decision. However, the outing lowered his ERA on the season to a respectable 4.03. His next start will likely come this weekend against the Washington Nationals.
