A former top-25 MLB prospect, Jorge Soler has never lived up to his early billing. Every time he starts to look like he’s ready to take that step, some injury rears it’s ugly head threatening to derail his career completely. He’s getting one last chance this spring to prove to the Royals that he’s worthy […]

Twelve months ago, Elvis Andrus was coming off a 20/25 season and was the toast of the fantasy community. Flash forward to March 2019 and he’s a virtual afterthought for most. Sure, his season was derailed by injury last season, and he was never likely to replicate his 2017 numbers, but why in the world […]

We’re coming up on the start of the 2019 MLB season, and we’re still dealing with a host of teams that haven’t committed to a plan for the 9th inning. Well, maybe they have committed to a plan, but they sure haven’t shared it with us. As such, we’re all grasping at straws a bit […]

Nathan Eovaldi can dominate an opponent at any moment. He can struggle to go deep into games at any moment. He can find himself on the sidelines dealing with some physical malady at any moment.

Taking a look at his current ADP, it’s clear that the overall fantasy universe certainly isn’t in agreement with my position. In fact, in the majority of leagues, DeSclafani isn’t someone […]

At times in his career, Chris Archer has dominated the opponent and produced copious levels of fantasy success. Always a strikeout arm, Archer and his slider seems to dominate opponents frequently. However, he’s also been homer prone at times, and worse yet, he suffers bouts of ineffectiveness that can stretch on for long periods of […]

Eric Thames can flat out mash. Many folks seem to have forgotten that two years ago Thames was the hottest name in baseball as he was returning from the KBO with some of the best numbers we’ve ever seen. He then had a massive hot streak to start the season, and folks were claiming he […]

(NFBC Rank: 60; DC Rank: 32) Pirates’ starter Joe Musgrove turned in a solid 2018 season after being traded from the Astros in the Gerrit Cole deal. Battling some injuries, Musgrove managed just 19 starts, but did throw 115 innings, posting a 4.06 ERA with a pedestrian 20.6 percent strikeouts percentage and minuscule 4.7 percent […]
