We’re obsessed with up the middle the talent. Having bonafide top tier fantasy up the middle is the dream. It’s the holy grail. Mike Trout is fantastic, but if you could guarantee owners that Troy Tulowitzki would play 140+ games, he might be drafted ahead of Trout or Miguel Cabrera

It didn’t take long for George Springer to graduate on to the rookie report. Houston’s consensus top three prospect was called up essentially as soon as the Astros had guaranteed themselves another year of control over him. In a nutshell, it’s good for all sides. Springer gets to play in

Fresh off a $105 million contract extension, Homer Bailey has had a dreadful start to his 2014 campaign. In three starts, Bailey has managed to get through 14.1 innings, while posting an 8.16 ERA. Obviously, this isn’t what Cincinnati or Bailey himself had in mind to begin the season, but
