Don’t Overreact To Small Samples
Last Friday, Jeffrey Paternostro of Baseball Prospectus released an article discussing why they arenāt releasing updated prospect rankings for the month of May. Itās worth a read and touches on something thatās been bugging me lately, most notably in the fantasy and prospect community. Weāve decided that it is in

Monitoring Hot and Cold Starts: A Year Long Exercise

January and February can be some of the darkest months of the year (figuratively

The AL Central has been an uninspiring symbol of mediocrity and dullness to me. Pretty much a baseball personification of the Midwest itself. Itās an unfair characterization considering that theyāve been to the four times World Series since 2012. They have a lot of cool players, too! This division brought
