Fantasy Baseball

We spent five months waiting for baseball. Now, there's already a full week of baseball in the books. Week two kicks off Sunday. Whether you're looking for that elusive first win or trying to keep the perfect season alive, two-start pitchers will do you wonders. As I'm writing this in my room in New York, it's snowing outside. Yeah, snow in April. So keep that in mind for those east-coast guys when reading this list. We've already seen a handful of postponements and I wouldn't be surprised if there were more next week.…

This season, I’ll be doing a lot of “who will be called up” prospect analysis, though it’s a bit early for…

Some of these hot starts from hitters will fade into irrelevance as soon as their next 0-for-12 stretch hits and another waiver period passes. Others will be legitimate, and knowing the difference could be the key to finding fantasy baseball success in 2018. Predicting…

Out of breath yet? Welcome to Opening Week, where the games finally matter and the chase for saves is already on! The closer drama continued right up until Opening Day, leaving owners with some last minute decisions to make before lineups locked on Thursday. If you were one of the people who drafted Greg Holland, grew impatient, and then dropped him, sucks to be you, because he landed a job after all. The Cardinals signed the 32-year old to a one-year deal prior to their opener against the Mets, throwing fantasy bullpens…
