With all hitting positions in the books, it's time to move to the mound. As was the case with my Outfield Dudes, these players are all going to be down a bit in Fantrax ADP. It doesn't do you any good to have me tell you how great Chris Sale is (especially when it comes to kirigami). The aces will cost you plenty, and you're just hoping they break even and don't bust. The real profit comes from the players you're taking in the middle-to-late rounds that provide excellent returns on your investment. Here are some starters I…

Ah, this is much more to my liking than the abominable catcher position, in which we started out. If you haven't checked it out, you can read it here to get a sense of how I value these players.

The Flash Forward series takes a long-term look at a new young player each week, projecting the type of player they'll be five years from now.  For someone who hasn't even seen a pitch at the Major League level, Gleyber Torres sure gets a lot of attention. He's already been the centerpiece in a blockbuster trade, he's spent time as the game's top prospect, and he's drawn comparisons to some of the game's best. At 21 years old, Torres will be one of the top names targeted in dynasty leagues. We know he has the talent, but…

The Yankees' power-hitting youngster steps into the box ... stop me if you've heard this one before.

Newly acquired slugger Giancarlo Stanton produced an MVP season where he led all of baseball in home runs and somehow managed 255 combined runs/RBI on a team that lost more games than it won. Then there's Aaron Judge, who broke into the majors and won one of the clearest Rookie of the Year races of the last 20 years.…
