The Dynasty Guru’s Top 200 Dynasty Starting Pitchers, Nos. 121-140
It’s the time of the year where we offer congratulations to those of you brave dynasty league owners that survived the offseason. The greatness that 2016 will surely offer is upon us and that means we’ll be spending the next six weeks moving our way through the positional landscape, offering thoughts
Buy or Sell: Anthony DeSclafani
Even the Reds couldn’t have thought trading Mat Latos to the Miami Marlins would have worked out this well but here we are. A mere four starts into the season and DeSclafani has a sparkling 1.04 ERA while his more decorated colleague has posted a hideous mark of 6.86. On
The Dynasty Guru’s Top 200 Dynasty Starting Pitchers, Nos. 21-40
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. It’s the very definition of freedom. A ton of hard work was put into these rankings,
Ben’s 2014 All-Disappointment Team
It’s Monday morning, and the entire world is grumpy. I am part of the world, and so also grumpy. Rather than write a positive, insightful or analytical column, I’m going to vent. Many of my teams are somewhere between fourth and seventh place in my respective leagues, and this was
#TDGX: Team Goldstein Picks: Rounds 3-5

Ben’s 11 Bold Predictions: Blind Squirrel Gets Nut Edition
Let’s skip the formalities/well constructed introductions. In my last post, I covered four of my preseason predictions that stunk. In this post, I will cover the other seven that didn’t stink. In this way, I’m able to abide by two Internet Baseball Writing rules at once: I’ve revisited a preseason
Ben’s Eleven Bold Predictions
As a prospect writer, I’m wrong on the World Wide Web all the time. “Casey Kelly makes a smart late-round pick this year,” I will write one week before we lose him to injury. “Adam Eaton can grab you 30 cheap steals,” I opine before his elbow acts up. “Devin
The Top 225 Dynasty League Starting Pitchers, Part 1 (#1-50)
There are nearly a million ways to construct a starting staff for your dynasty league team. However, I cannot stress how important it is (especially for starting pitchers) to know your league’s scoring system inside and out. The rankings you’ll find below are for a standard 5×5 rotisserie league, but
