Which guys are good against lefties? Which batters struggle against soft tossers? Conversely, which arms struggle at home or dominate hitters with swing and miss tendencies? 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 […]

2019 Mixed Tout Wars Auction
A cross county trip for Tout Wars is always one of the highlights of the month of March. The draft at least. Am I the only one who detests children flying on planes? At least babies? My red eye was a trip from hell as a one year old behind me screamed the entire time […]
DraftCheat’s Pitchers to Target: Jon Gray
In this series I’ll be taking an in-depth look at pitchers I’m targeting in 2019 drafts. Some will be studs who I think are still undervalued, others will be pitchers who have finished mid-pack but are breakout candidates.

2019 Player Profile: Jonathan Villar
Jonathan Villar is a somewhat limited hitter and a somewhat undisciplined runner on the base paths. That said, he figures to play daily for the Orioles, he is likely to continue to run no matter what the results are, and he qualifies up the middle in the infield. When talking fantasy baseball in 2019, that’s […]

The Opener In 2019
The Opener came into vogue last season. You know, the reliever that starts a game who might face just the first couple of batters or even pitch into the second inning, and then is relieved by a guy who goes on to pitch roughly the same number of innings as a backend starter (4-5 innings […]
2019 Player Profile: Tyler Glasnow
With and arm handed down from Mount Olympus, Tyler Glasnow has been slated for stardom since childhood. While growing into a strapping young man at 6’8”, the road has been filled with excellent performances as well as staggeringly low, lows. With the trade to the Rays last season, a run of 11 starts raised the […]
Battle of the Experts – David Price
Ray Flowers and Vlad Sedler take counter positions on a single player, one for, one against. Which one of our experts do you agree with? Does either strike a knockout blow? Is there a TKO? Is there a need for another round? Two or our best analysts give their thoughts on a player for the […]
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.
