Sleepers All average draft position data comes from Fantasy Pros cumulative numbers. Mike Wallace (WR30, 79th overall) – When you think of Wallace you may think he’s inconsistent simply because he was/is labeled as a deep threat and isn’t a possession receiver catching five balls a game. But that’s not

Just like with Matt Duffy, for most of the season I’ve been thinking Randal Grichuk wasn’t a rookie. That’s probably because he played in 47 games in last year’s regular season and then started all nine St. Louis postseason games. He also debuted in April of last year, so he’s

Quarterback The 49ers may have changed head coaches this offseason, but new offensive coordinator Geep Chryst was the team’s quarterbacks coach for four years so Colin Kaepernick shouldn’t go under much of a transition this summer. I think it’s telling that San Francisco departed from Jim Harbaugh and Michael Crabtree

Chris Heston Continues Strong Season Heston is tied for the rookie lead in starts with 20 and he’s behind only Noah Syndergaard in rookie pitcher WAR. Heston’s 3.14 ERA ranks 24th among all qualified starts, and his 56.5 percent ground ball rate ranks fifth among all starters. Heston’s only had

After rumors of it late Wednesday night the Cardinals and Indians agreed Thursday morning to a trade of outfielder/first baseman Brandon Moss for left-handed pitcher Rob Kaminsky, St. Louis’s No. 4 minor-league prospect, according to Fangraphs.

The St. Louis Cardinals have struck again, acquiring an undervalued relief pitcher in July in hopes of improving their bullpen for October. Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald first reported Friday afternoon that St. Louis is trading for the 29-year-old righty Steve Cishek. In exchange, the Cardinals will be sending

Somehow, I’ve missed Matt Duffy being a rookie this year. Even after perusing the Fangraphs rookie leaderboards and the MLB.com rookie stats pages I missed his name…every…single…time. I don’t get it. So let’s fix that.

The Atlanta Falcons are a team wrapped in a mixture of certainty and uncertainty. While some of their players (Matt Ryan, Julio Jones) will produce week-in and week-out, there remain questions about many other players (Roddy White, Devonta Freeman, Tevin Coleman). There’s a new head coach (former Seattle defensive coordinator

I’ve wanted to do a post on Carlos Martinez for a while, and as I was looking at batted ball statistics at Fangraphs I noticed he’s currently eighth in ground ball rate at 55.6 percent, an increase from his two previous seasons. There were other names that caught my eye,
