The Pitch for Mitch Haniger as a Top-Tier Asset
Everybody loves a good prodigy. The Bryce Harper/Aaron Judge types that burst onto the scene or the palpable buzz surrounding hot prospects like Ronald Acuna. Those players are splashy and exciting, fun to own and to watch play baseball. Their aura is so loud that there’s no debate about whether
Buying Off-Brand: Hitters
One of the best pieces of advice my dad gave me growing up was to buy off-brand. He would always say, “they cost less money, and if you look at the ingredients, they are exactly the same.” This advice can be applied to fantasy baseball too. Who are some underrated
