No intro, let’s just get down to business.  Player A has 29hr, and 83 RBIs in his last 615 plate appearances.  During that time, he struck out a mere 14% of the time.  His hard hit rate, which hovered around 27/28% the last 3 years, is now 36.6%.  He is

Not Rodgers, Rogers.  Both players were High-A All Stars this year.  Both play in the Rockies organization.  That’s about where the comparisons end, but it’s still a beautiful day in the neighborhood.  Wes Rogers is trying to make a name for himself in circles outside the Cal. Dude has tools

Byung-Ho Park, Jesus Montero, Zack Cox, Danny Hultzen. Unless you play in a ridiculously deep -ONLY League…you know what? No, this HAS to stop. Minor league rosters are still littered with these names and more, prospects from years gone by. Perhaps a steep price was paid to acquire their services

The All Star Break is almost here. At this point, you know exactly what type of team you have. You know your team’s strengths and weaknesses. You know if you have a shot at the top spot in roto, or the playoffs in H2H. If you reside at the top

Randall Delgado began the year as a long man for the Diamondbacks.  He wasn’t in the conversation for saves or holds.  He last started a game in 2015…and that also happened to be his only start of that year. Fantasy relevance did not seem likely.  Fast forward to the present and

Daniel Johnson may be the most unnoticed breakout player of 2017. Assigned to Low-A this season, Johnson has used his immense physical tools to post a .305/.357/.567 line. Those numbers absolutely destroy the meager .265/.312/.347 he squeaked out last season. Many outlets that analyzed enough prospects to include Johnson agree

Deciding what to discuss this time out was a no-brainer for me.  As of this writing, Kevin Kramer leads all of AA with an amazing 191 wRC+.  That is a previously light-hitting second sacker smacking the ball around like a slugger after a full month-and-a-half of plate appearances.  For a

The watch list is my favorite feature of dynasty baseball leagues. I prefer sites with virtually unlimited watch list sizes, which allow fools like to me to place any remotely interesting player on watch. My thought process is that I can review player progression at some imaginary point in the future when

Let me introduce you to Mitchell White. A 2016 2nd rounder, he utterly dominated the minors last season in a huge 22 inning sample size. Okay, that’s minuscule compared to a full starters workload, but at this stage the innings total is meaningless. His workload was tightly managed and understandably so,
