Juan Soto: Low-A to MLB in 45 Days
On April 5th, Minor League Opening Day, I tuned into MiLB.TV to watch the Hagerstown Suns and Juan Soto face the Rome Braves and Kyle Muller. I specifically wanted to watch Soto’s at-bats against the large, 6’6″ and 225 pound, flame throwing lefty. In the very first inning, lead off hitter Cole

Attacking Murky Depth Chart Waters
Imagine for a moment that you’re Domingo Santana. Congratulations, you’re a professional baseball player! Not only that, but you’re coming off of a breakout campaign where you hit 30 home runs in a full-time role for a team that finished the season on the brink of the playoffs. Life is
The Dynasty Guru’s Top 125 Outfielders, #91-125
It’s been a slow off-season. Like, a really slow off-season. With the hot stove frigid, fantasy baseball players haven’t had many ways to quench their thirst, unless they’ve thrown themselves head-first into football, basketball, or hockey. January and February can be some of the darkest months of the year (figuratively
Prospect Smackdown: Brian Goodwin vs. Jake Marisnick
In last week’s prospect smackdown, I took a look at the two best uninjured third base prospects in the game in Garin Cecchini and Maikel Franco. I’d love to tell you who won that battle, but I can’t, because I forgot to add a poll until Saturday afternoon. That means
Team TDG Overlord, Rounds 11-40 of #TDGX
Last week, I went through the first ten picks of my TDGX draft. This week, I’ll talk about the rest. I’m still amazed how quickly we finished this draft–it was finished in under three weeks, which worked out to over two rounds per day! So rather than spread this out
Legends of the Arizona Fall League: Mesa Edition
I jumped at the chance to highlight the stars of the Mesa Solar Sox in TDG’s latest series covering the Arizona Fall League, because — if you didn’t know — I kind of, sort of like the Cubs. I was sad to see shortstop Javier Baez taken off Mesa’s roster when
Rebuilding a Dynasty League Roster: One Year Later
A lot can happen in a year. June 3rd, 2012 was the day I took over the roster which became the focus of my Rebuilding a Dynasty League Roster series, and now that June 3rd is upon us again, it seemed like a natural time to take a look at
A Podcast For Your Eyes: The 2014 Top 10 Fantasy Prospects Edition
As I hinted at in yesterday’s post on projecting the Top 10 fantasy prospects at this time next year, Ben, Craig and I tried something interesting on Wednesday night as we sat down on gchat and conversed for almost an hour and a half about the topic at hand. The
Putting My Money Where My Mouth Is
We’ve been over this before – I play in WAY too many leagues. In fact, this year, that number is officially 14. And they run the gamut in terms of formats. There are seven dynasty leagues, three pure redraft leagues, six head-to-head leagues, and two points leagues. I have leagues
Ten Prospects I Like More Than You Like
One of the main reasons I’m so excited to be joining the crew here at TDG is the debates I’ll get to have with other writers on the site over our prospect projections and analysis. When you know your assertions about a player are going to be scrutinized and picked
