Each week we will try to give a quick update on each of the top-40 minor leaguers that could help out in the fantasy game in 2019. Of course, there is an element of uncertainty with all of this as we never quite know when a team will decide to call up a youngster or […]

This weekend will likely be the biggest single FAAB day of the year because of a handful of prospects who have been promoted. We’ll be able to hash things out a bit better in Saturday’s FAAB Values piece with a few days of data, but for now, let’s take a look at the prospects in […]

Bullpen Usage & Reliever Ratings, or BURR, is an idea that Flowers and Mans have been playing around with since the 2017 season. The reason for their focus is simply that bullpens are a more important part of the modern game than ever before. You know what we mean. Whereas at one time starting pitchers threw 220 […]

Austin Riley was a first-round draft pick out of high school in 2015 by the Braves. Pretty much all he has done since being drafted is hit. There is massive power in his bat, though there is also a lot of swing and miss to his game. Still, with an open spot on the roster, […]

Will the bat play though? 24 years old Bats/Throws: Right/ Right Height/Weight: 6’2”, 195 lbs Position: Outfield […]

Jordan Lyles was a non-entity in the fantasy game some eight weeks ago. Now, after seven starts, his numbers leap off the page to the point that he must be factored into the mix in the fantasy game. Is his blazing start a flash in the pan? Does the right have actual staying power, or […]

Fantasy Baseball is at a crossroads. Each year, interest in the game seems to wane. Take it from one of the few people who has been in this industry for nearly two decades working full-time, we have a problem with fantasy baseball. Last season, for the first time in 15-year, MLB attendance dropped below 70 […]

Bassitt has been impressive for the A’s. Freeland, hasn’t for the Rockies. What are the concerns with German of the Yankees? Are there any? Two veteran lefties – Gio Gonzalez and J.A. Happ – are getting outs. Miley is getting tons of outs too, but how? Minor and Odorizzi are having extremely effective starts to […]
