Brian Dozier

With over a third of the MLB season in the books, fantasy owners and MLB teams alike have started to get a sense of where they sit moving forward. As always, owners will be scrambling to find buy-low acquisitions and betting on various early-season performances.Today, we look at Brian Dozier and Chris Taylor, a pair of middle infielders whose early-season performances aren’t truly indicative of their fantasy value moving forward. Brian Dozier, Minnesota Twins Dozier’s 2018 season can only be described as a disappointment…

I’m old enough to remember when you would have no idea where your team stood in the standings until at least a week or two into the season. In a way, we were almost better off. Nowadays, you can see live standings from the first day of the season on. When I woke up on Friday and saw I was in last place in my Fantrax Roto league, I had to laugh.

We aren't all going to agree on every single player. That would make fantasy leagues incredibly boring.The same can be said here at Fantrax. We have a great group of writers and podcasters (that might not be…

It wasn't too long ago that the second base position was almost as boring and offensively deprived as the catcher spot. Not anymore. Gone are the days of half the league's second basemen being glove-first slap hitters. Sure, defense is still an important part of the game, but there's certainly been more of an emphasis on not having a black hole in your lineup. There's now a ton of power and speed at the position as you can see in the rankings below. A couple of Joses lead us off with a trio of youngsters rounding out the top…
