My phone rang around 8 o’clock last night. It was one of my league mates. “Hey bub, let’s make a trade,” grumbled the voice on the line. Dynasty baseball is the best. The 2013 World Series hadn’t even been decided yet, but my league was already thinking 2014. We did
Up the Middle: Corey Seager
We’re down to just four teams left in the 2013 playoffs, and sticking with the idea of highlighting players from playoff teams, we’ll take a look at one of the better shortstops in the Midwest League this year – Dodgers’ shortstop prospect Corey Seager. Big brother Kyle Seager has had success

It’s Indians mania here in Northeastern Ohio. As I write this post, thousands of win-thirsty Cleveland Indian fans are pouring into Progressive Field hoping to see the Tribe put the Rays to bed. Just three hours east of here, though, another surprise team already locked up their place in the
Last Minute Pickups: AL Starting Pitchers
I don’t think there are any unwritten rules about picking players up during the last week of the season in dynasty leagues. So if it’s okay with Brian McCann, I will move forward with this post and recommend three American League starting pitchers that are widely available and could make
Up the Middle: Jonathan Villar
In some strange twist of the MLB blackout rule continuum, I get zero Cleveland Indians’ broadcasts despite living just one hour south of the city. Fortunately, I do get all of the Reds’ broadcasts, and while writing this post I’m watching the Reds take on the Houston Astros. I have

Kudos if you were able to read the title of this post with any kind of fluency. Right there is a sign that you’re a stand-up dynasty player. D-O-R-S-S-Y-S isn’t just a crappy Scrabble hand. It’s also the first name of one of the better (and younger) middle infield prospects
Up the Middle: J.J. Hardy
It’s easy to get caught up in the shiny new toys as the calendar turns to September. I’m guilty of it myself. I jump on guys like Jonathan Villar and Brad Miller. I drool over what my team will look like with Carlos Correa in my lineup. It’s like that
Up the Middle: Rougned Odor
If only his name were something bland like Joe Smith, he might still be flying under the radar. Instead, Rougned Odor is enjoying a breakout season in 2013 and dynasty players are taking notice to more than just his unusual moniker. The 19-year-old second base prospect for the Texas Rangers

If you would have told me four months ago that I’d be writing for some of the same sites I read each day with my morning coffee, I would have said that you were insane. I’m grateful to have the opportunity to provide content here at The Dynasty Guru. I’ve
