Colorado Rockies

If you've ever purchased a scratcher ticket at your local convenience store, you know the odds of hitting on a cheap lottery ticket are pretty slim. But what if I told you the tickets were free and you still could keep the money if you won? Sound like a good deal? That’s kinda how I fell about these seven players. Their ADPs and ownership levels are so low it’s almost like they are FREE. Each of these guys is being taken late in drafts or may be sitting on waivers in your league for one reason or another. They each have…

Feast your eyes on the beautiful, the bold, and the basically belligerent predictions of 2018. Some of these are outrageous but all possible outcomes in my eyes for the upcoming baseball season.Previous Bold PredictionsEric CrossRyan Cook's Bullpen PredictionsRonald Acuna has a combined 50 HR+SB – Only nine players had over 50 HR+SB in 2017.

The Rockies hope Davis will be able to continue the high-level production into his mid-30s.The biggest change for Davis, compared to his time closing for the Royals and Cubs, will be a projected increase in his WHIP and ERA because of Colorado’s high home field BABIP. His ERA will likely get bumped up a half a run. He's still…

The Pirates are playing for nothing more than pocket money at this stage, but it's important to recognize even the smallest of victories during this tedious rebuild. There's, of course, that Andrew McCutchen guy, but often lost in the fray is Felipe Rivero, basking in all of his 1.29 ERA glory. I watched as Rivero completely pulled the rug from beneath the Reds on Saturday night. He struck out Jose Peraza, Joey Votto and Adam Duvall on 16 pitches, and didn't allow a single ball in play. Rivero has registered at least one…
