Previously, we took a look at which MLB players saw the biggest decrease in their stolen base totals during the 2018 season. While stolen bases were down overall in 2018, that doesn't mean it resulted in lower totals for everyone. In fact, there were several players who saw significant jumps in steals last season.As a whole, 2018 saw 28 players steal at least 20 bases, 41 players steal at least 15 and 83 steal at least 10.

Its never too early to start looking toward the fantasy baseball season, so Im here to carry on RotoBallers position-by-position rankings analysis series for points leaguesand head-to-head (H2H) formats with the stars of the infield, the shortstops. The position is star-studded, and in roto leagues I think I'd be comfortable with any of the top 20 names on this list. Unfortunately, the position gets pretty scarce in points leagues due to the majority's lack of power and walks. In points leagues [...]

In the past two years, baseball has seen an explosion in the number of shortstops with legitimate home run power. Everyone from Francisco Lindor to Tim Anderson seems capable of belting 20 dingers on an annual basis. Most of those players are being drafted in the first 10 rounds or so, but both of our players for this column, Eduardo Escobar and Paul DeJong, are currently projected for over 20 HR but are going after the 150th selection in fantasy drafts.In many leagues, Eduardo Escobar went larg[...]

For readers who tune in to watch MLB games regularly, the phrase small ball is dead is becoming more and more the cliche. Managers do not feel the need to run as much, there is a decreasing rate of sacrifice bunts, and above all, no more hit-and-run as a primary offensive tactic. [...]

Members of the Tim Anderson fan club include a few fantasy experts looking for cheap sleeper options, Andersons parents, and fantasy managers who have owned Tim Anderson before. Its not a long list. Anderson hit 20 home runs and stole 26 bags in 2018. Unfortunately, he also generated only 77 runs, 64 RBI, and a .240 BA. Unfortunately, that batting average was more palatable than his .281 OBP, which rendered him almost unrosterable in OBP leagues. The good news was that Andersons BABIP was well [...]

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 with the ever-so-glamorous shortstop position. Shortstop is rich at the top and while it boasts intriguing depth, this is not a position to wait on, especially if you also have a middle-infield (MI) slot.Our mixed-league staff rankings come straight from the minds of myself, JB Branson, Pierre Camus and Chris Zolli, and weve got them broken dow[...]

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Anderson went 0-for-3 during the first game and has been slumping at the plate recently. Jose Rondon will play shortstop and bat eighth versus righty Chase De Jong. DFS players can avoid Rondon for this one.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson smacked a two-run homer in the top of the 12th inning in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Kansas City Royals. He was 2-for-6 at the plate in the contest. Anderson has surprisingly decent numbers for the season. [...]
