Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner was one of four Nationals to hit a home run in their 8-4 win over the Braves on Wednesday.

Traditionally a scarce position in fantasy, second base has truly risen over the past few years, and truthfully I'd be happy with grabbing anyone in the first four tiers (top 17) to start on my points teams. The main issue is that 12 of those top 17 are multi-position [...]

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. [...]
