Dynasty Dugout: Pitcher Dynasty/Keeper Rankings

The starting pitcher and relief pitcher positions are the only ones that aren't dominated by young stars in their early-20s like most of the other positions are. Three of the top four starting pitchers are north of 30 years old, while three of the top five relievers are 29 or older. There's nothing wrong that. Most pitchers are usually able to maintain an elite level of production further into their 30s than hitters can. I guess the moral of the story here is not to shy away from older pitchers in their 30s.Other 2018…

Dynasty Dugout: Outfield Dynasty/Keeper Rankings

You better get used to a lot of the names on these rankings because you're going to be seeing a lot of them for many years to come. The outfield position has long been known for its overall talent and star power. Eash and every year it seems to get stronger and stronger, especially when it comes to dynasty and keeper formats.Mike Trout and Bryce Harper are still locked in at the top. And the scary part? They're still just 26 and 25, respectively. In fact, there's only one man over the age of 30 in my top-10 and just…

Dynasty Dugout: Third Base Dynasty/Keeper Rankings

The hot corner is turning into a top-heavy position as of late. You got your handful of studs at the top, but after them, there aren't a lot of players that really excite you. You got the Devers, Guerreros, and Senzels of the world, but outside of them, it's just a lot of solid, but unspectacular fantasy assets. Now, there's nothing wrong with guys like Kyle Seager or Nicholas Castellanos. They're fine fantasy pieces for any squad, but they lack that elite upside that dynasty leaguers love.Other 2018 Dynasty/Keeper…

Dynasty Dugout: Shortstop Dynasty/Keeper Rankings

I debated leaving shortstop for last due to the amount of intrigue and offensive prowess at the position these days. But for the sake of going in somewhat of an order, I held off. Every year it seems like this position gets better and younger. Just look at the top of the rankings below. The average age of the top-10 is just 24. That's it. Can someone please get Jean Segura a walker or a cane of some sort? The dude is ancient for this top-10 at 28 years old. Needless to say, shortstop is in a great position and should only…

Dynasty Dugout: Second Base Dynasty/Keeper Rankings

This position is getting really interesting over the last few seasons. The second base position has long been thought of as a defense-first position, filled with a bunch of slap hitters. Not anymore. Nowadays we have power bats like Rougned odor and Jonathan Schoop along with speedsters like Dee Gordon. Not to mention the plethora of young talent set to bust out and a pint-sized hitting ninja leading the way. Yeah, I think this position will be just fine over the next decade or so.Other 2018 Dynasty/Keeper Rankings:   C…

Dynasty Dugout: First Base Dynasty/Keeper Rankings

After getting the mostly offensively deprived catcher position out of the way, we make a left turn, hop on I-95, and get off in Long Ball City. First base has always been known for its vast offensive numbers. From Albert Pujols, to Miguel Cabrera, to Paul Goldschmidt. The list goes on and on.And just when you thought the position might experience a slight drop in overall value, guys like Cody Bellinger, Rhys Hoskins, and Matt Olson destroy baseballs for a few months and boom, the position has three new stars for dynasty…

Dynasty Dugout: Catcher Dynasty/Keeper Rankings

Don’t get me wrong, yearly re-draft leagues are fun and all, but dynasty/keeper leagues are where things can get really interesting. The season is never over in a dynasty league. If you fall out of the playoff hunt, you start preparing for next season. Making trades, stockpiling draft picks, whatever it takes to get your team back into contention.We start these dynasty rankings with the hardest position to find longterm production. The catcher position might not be what it used to be in the Pudge and Piazza days, but…

Dynasty Dugout: Prospects to Watch Outside the Top-100

The beauty of minor league prospects is that there's basically an endless supply of them. I recently finished my five-part top-100 prospects countdown and couldn't fit in all the prospects I wanted to. Maybe I should've done a top-150 or top-200 or something. Oh well, hindsight is 20/20. But since there are many more prospects I couldn't get to in that top-100, why not write another article with more impact prospects? Sounds like a great idea to me. Prospects are like popcorn, watermelon, or french fries. There's always…

Dynasty Dugout: Top 100 Dynasty Prospects (20-1)

We've made it. Over the last month, we've counted down prospects 100 to 21 and have now reached the top-20. These men are the best of the best. The most elite prospects the minor leagues have to offer. Men and women of all ages duke it out every season to have guys like this on their fantasy teams. This is what we've all been waiting for, so let's cut the chit-chat and get right into it.Can you hear the guitar riff and drums in the background?"IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!"Previous Top-100 Dynasty Rankings…

Dynasty Dugout: Top 100 Dynasty Prospects (40-21)

As we get closer to the top of these rankings, I’m finding it harder and harder to limit how much I write about each prospect. Can you really blame me? These aren't your run-of-the-mill prospects in this article. No, sir. These are elite stud prospects with tantalizing upside that are about to explode all over the MLB landscape.As you'll see pretty quickly, the terms "ace-caliber" and "elite tools" enter the discussion plenty of times below. You won't find any power or speed-only players below, either. As we continue to…
