BALLER MOVE: Target ~105 CURRENT ADP: 119.3 ANALYSIS: Yu Darvish hasn't pitched since August 9, 2014 due to Tommy John surgery. He missed his age 28 campaign, a time frame when most pitchers are hitting their prime. In 22 starts in 2014, Darvish had a 3.06 ERA, a 1.26 WHIP and a 182/49 K/BB ratio. He struck out 30% of batters faced, and he had an improved walk rate (8.1%) and an uncharacteristically high .334 BABIP. Look for that to regress closer to his career average (.295), in turn kn[...]Keep on reading: Yu Darvish (SP, TEX) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

The standard 14-month recovery timetable would bring him back some time in mid-May. Darvish is a perennial Cy Young contender, three-time Al[...]Keep on reading: Yu Darvish (SP, TEX) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

The Texas Rangers are a team with serious playoff aspirations. Look no further than their interest in Ian Desmond for left field to see the team is willing to entertain all possibilities to contend in the AL West. The Houston Astros made a serious step forward in 2015 and the Rangers are the only competition to take the crown (No offense, Angels and Mariners). While Desmond would be a boost to the offense, it'll be up to the pitching staff to keep things afloat. Cole Hamels was brought in to [...]Keep on reading: Can You Trust Yu Darvish in 2016?

The Philadelphia Phillies want the “best” offers from any team that wants Cole Hammels by Wednesday, according to ESPN.com, which means the pitching ace could be gone very soon. There won't be a better time to land Hamels, because he's coming off his first career no-hitter on Saturday when he shut down the Chicago Cubs. The left-hander is now 6-7 on the season with a 3.64 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and a 137/39 K/BB ratio through 128 2/3 innings.

Winning in a dynasty league requires bold strategy, smart trades and a ton of luck. This past season in a keeper league, I lost in the semifinals on account of a Carlos Santana stolen base. That was Santana’s fifth SB of the year and served as the tiebreaker that ended my season. You just can't predict that. You also can't predict injuries. Yu Darvish, Paul Goldschmidt, Masahiro Tanaka, Troy Tulowitzki, Jose Fernandez and many more ruined dynasty squads last season. Each and every year, man[...]Keep on reading: Top Five Dynasty / Keeper Shortstops for 2015
