The Marlins are being forced to change things up with their rotation leading to Gallen and Yamamoto getting shots in the rotation. Shaun Anderson is another youngster in the NL. Should you be looking his way? Homer Bailey is having success. Really. DeSclafani is rounding into form. Flaherty is going in the other direction. Happ […]

  Power. Do your fantasy teams have enough of it? Home runs is a category that many of my fantasy teams seem to be struggling with. I’d like to solely blame Giancarlo Stanton for getting hurt in the first week of the season but the only one I can blame is myself for not seeing […]

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 […]

Is Chase Anderson worth an add? What about the Giants’ Tyler Beede? Is Berrios an ace? Sonny Gray is quietly piling up innings. What’s the deal with Elieser Hernandez of the Marlins? Lucchesi and Means, two young arms piling up lots of solid innings. Mikolas and Miley. Two M’s that don’t dominate, but that can […]

Zack Collins was a start in college at Miami, Florida leading to a first-round selection by the White Sox. He’s progressed through the minors with moderate success with the bat. He’s always shown an ability to work the count and hit the ball deep, but he’s also dealt with contact issues, as well as a […]

The Cubs lost Kyle Hendricks. Who is this Adbert Alzolay kid? Trevor Williams is set to return this week for the Pirates. Chris Archer is a mess. Is it time to give up on the former dominant righty? Foltynewicz just cannot seem to get on track. Dakota Hudson gets grounders, but that’s it. Jurado looked […]

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 […]

A few years back, Ketel Marte was a middle infielder who was destined to hit .285 while stealing 25 bags a season with the Mariners. He didn’t have any power, but he could run and made good contact, and scouts were confident he would be an effective offensive weapon. He showed up as a rookie […]

Chris Paddack was recently sent to the minors in order to curtail his workload this season (we’ve known since the preseason that 135-50 innings was the likely end point for the righty of the Padres, so it was very surprising to me to see so many folks in a tizzy not getting what the Padres […]

Jeff Mans and I were sitting around the metaphorical campfire, singing “Kumbaya” and talking about baseball, the future of the fantasy business and days of old. He reflected upon his Fantasy Alarm days and then, Eureka! Like a flash of lightning, the thought sprung from his mind… the MLB Weekly Preview. For those of you […]
