Three Players in Limbo
Juan Soto’s meteoric rise to the major leagues has been one of this season’s most exciting storylines. After starting the season at High-A, the 19-year-old blasted through Double-A and has already played 26 games for the Nationals. The kid is showing some serious style, currently sporting a .326/.420/.593 slash. But

The Dynasty Dilemma of Julio Urias
The History Urias made his major league debut as a 19-year-old and posted a 3.39 ERA across 23 1/3 innings with over a strikeout per inning in 2016. The following season he found himself back in AAA after a rocky start to 2017 in the big-league rotation. After a few

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.
Esteban Quiroz: The Red Sox Second Basemen You Should Stash

How Good is Rhys Hoskins?
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.

Examining Two Prospect Fallers
Every dynasty owner loves rostering prospects. Prospects hold promise for future seasons, carry considerable trade value in the short-term, and can make a major impact when they finally get the call. Plus, the act of unearthing a stud before everyone else catches on to their value is an art wholly
