2019 Player Profile: Jorge Soler
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.

2019 Player Profile: Elvis Andrus
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.

In what can be a maddening game of chasing numbers down a rabbit hole, it’s nice to have someone hold your hand and guide you through the maze, or […]
From the Gut: The Wild NL West
No specific topic for this week’s column, just three random observations as we get into the thick of draft season and prepare for Opening Day. Your boy Gut is fully in the zone and ready for my big drafts coming up. That includes two of the NFBC Main Events and the NFBC Platinum. I’ll be […]
2019 Player Profile: Anthony DeSclafani
As I noted in my Breakout Pitcher of the Year column, Anthony DeSclafani was someone that I really liked (yes, the S is capitalized). 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 […]
