So, here we are nearing the one-third mark of the season. Top MLB prospects like Ronald Acuña, Walker Buehler, Gleyber Torres, and most recently Juan Soto, have already gotten the call to the Major Leagues. When these type of prospects get the call, fantasy owners fight over them like a crazy mob of parents on Black Friday trying to get the hot new toy that their kid will forget about and stop playing with by February. The difference between top prospects and Christmas toys are that we are a bit less likely to forget about…

First off, before we go any further, go add Juan Soto if he's available in your league. Unless you play in AL-Only, he needs to be owned everywhere. That's how good this kid is. Yes, a slew of injuries to the Washington outfield had a lot to do with this call-up, but so did Soto's insanely high level of play so far this season. Juan Soto started the season with Single-A Hagerstown and quickly made it known that his stay in the South Atlantic League was going to be a quick one. In 59 at-bats, Soto hit .373/.486/.814/1.300…

There are three words that are synonymous with buy-low pitcher targets: Tommy John surgery. What used to be a curse for pitchers, now isn't so terrifying to think about. Sure, the pitcher will miss anywhere from 12 to 18 months, but pitchers are coming back just as strong, if not stronger than they were pre-surgery. Two of the four pitchers discussed below are the latest big name pitching prospects to tussle with that pest, Tommy John. But even with them missing the 2018 season, and likely a little of 2019, their upside…

When it comes to prospects, the New York Mets organization isn't an ideal place to do your shopping. Coming into the season, only one Mets prospect cracked top-100 industry lists, and that was Andres Gimenez. None cracked my own top-100 dynasty prospect rankings here on Fantrax, with only one being close, and it wasn't Gimenez. It was Mr. Peter Morgan Alonso. Alonso was drafted by the Mets in the 2nd round of the 2016 amateur draft after a very productive junior season at the University of Florida. In 211 at-bats, Alonso…

The month of May is often a time of change in the fantasy world. Players getting off to slow starts are usually given the benefit of the doubt in April, but if those struggles stretch into May, the gloves come off. Once patient fantasy owners suddenly can't take it anymore and look to trade or dump slumping players. That's where you come in with the offers to buy low on these players. These buy-low offers are especially important in dynasty leagues, as you could potentially nab a star player without having to pay the star…
