Corey Dickerson, an eighth round pick in the 2010 MLB Amateur Draft, was never a highly touted prospect, failing to crack notable industry top-100 prospect lists.  He did, however, crush the ball at every level of the minors (albeit it in some very friendly hitting conditions), and he hit respectably

The first 2014 breakout player I wrote about this offseason was Carlos Carrasco. He wasn’t the only once-well-thought-of prospect to bloom last year as Jake Arrieta did so in the Senior Circuit for the Cubs. The one time Baltimore Oriole and former top-100 prospect per both Baseball America and Baseball

With a few closers rumored to be on the trading block, a trio of relievers get the nod this week as worthwhile adds in fantasy leagues. They are joined by a starting pitcher who looks to be rounding back into form since his activation from the disabled list, a third

Sometimes non-closing relievers need a little love, too, and a pair get it in this week’s Free Agent Fixes. They’re joined by a young catcher that seems to be turning the corner, a veteran first baseman with an amended injury timetable, a rookie second baseman, and a pitcher that was

A blockbuster deal between the Cubs and Athletics provides a couple of players to discuss in this week’s article. They are joined by a couple repeat visitors to the column from the American League West, as well as a former closer back in the bullpen fold in Texas, and a
