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.

The Closer Chart – March 13th, 2019
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 […]
