AN INTRODUCTION Welcome to The Dynasty Guru’s Triple Play! This is a brand-new series where three very cool dynasty baseball nerds- Adam Lawler, Patrick Magnus and Keaton O. DeRocher- bring you a succinct analysis of one pitcher, one hitter and one prospect from each organization. We’ll be running this regularly

Every year at The Dynasty Guru, we meticulously rank over 600 players for our loyal readers. While we take plenty of steps to reshape and refine each list, perhaps the most important stage is our infamous, staff-wide debates. Few professionals are as passionate about their work as fantasy analysts (don’t

Xander Bogaerts is just 23 years old and yeah, I am saying he has a great shot to be in the hall of fame. 2016 will be his second straight season producing an fWAR of over 4.0 and has him on pace for a career of well over 40 fWAR

  Congratulations on surviving another off-season. Now that the new year is upon us, it’s time to spend the next month  traveling across the positional landscape, labeling players with numbers that correspond to their value.

The 23-year-old regressed in every major

We are all aware of what Andrelton Simmons can do in the field. We’ve seen and used the #andrelted hashtag. We’ve all looked at that picture and felt inadequate. As fantasy owners though, what exactly is Andrelton Simmons to us? His 2013 was more and less than we expected in

Before we dive back into the analysis, a few reminders about the context of the league, as it’s not a straight-forward format. It is a 20-team 7×7 H2H league that uses all of the standard 5×5 categories, plus OPS/Total Bases for hitters and Quality Starts/Holds for pitchers. The active rosters
