I recently learned of the Magazine Cover Indicator. Per Wikipedia, the Magazine Cover Indicator works because it assumes that, “by the time an idea has had time to make its way to the business press, particularly a trading idea, then the idea has likely run its course.” This is an

Dodgers starting pitcher Dennis Santana is banging on the door of the major leagues. The 22-year old converted shortstop has worked his way up to Triple-A Oklahoma City by blowing hitters away with a live arm and an arsenal of three plus-pitches. During his first start for OKC, Santana continued

Back in March, I used the Dynasty Profiler to look at stats from the 2017 minor league season and search for players whose hitting and pitching profiles suggested that they might deserve more credit from dynasty owners. After all, not every successful major leaguer was featured on a Top-100 list.

Mexican second baseman Esteban Quiroz didn’t generate a ton of hype after signing with the Boston Red Sox this past November. Maybe it was due to his ripe old age of 26, or maybe it was his diminutive 5’5” frame. The fact that he never cracked MLB Pipeline’s list of

I’m not writing about Rhys Hoskins today because he is an unknown gem, because he will be cheap to acquire, or because he is under-owned. The Phillies’ outfielder is very well-known after he exploded onto the scene last year by blasting 18 home runs during an amazing 50 game stretch.

Many theories have emerged regarding auction drafting, and most would agree

The Toronto Blue Jays are going to have a rough time replacing Edwin Encarnacion after losing him to the Cleveland Indians in free agency. In 2017, they may be able to cover first with some combination of Justin Smoak, Steve Pearce, and maybe Kendrys Morales. Perhaps that potpourri of bats can

Buster Posey, Willson Contreras, and the already seemingly-immortal Gary Sanchez – all of them are alright to own at catcher in a dynasty league, to say the least. Of course, if you do not happen to own stock in one of these commodities, where else can you look? Sure there

Last time I looked at the Statcast barrels statistic. That’s fun and all, but this time I want to look at some stats that encompass a little more of player performance. Once again I’m going to look at first and second half splits, but this time I only looked at
