There are plenty of quality young hitters in today’s game, and many of them are outfielders. I want to highlight a few players who are having strong seasons so far and write why I think they’ll make good long-term investments either in keeper leagues or to be selected early in

Chris Tillman has pretty much been the definition of league-average from 2013 to 2015. In that time he had a 3.96 ERA compared to the MLB-average 4.01. So, definitely OK, but not very exciting. In 2016 Tillman has, in 10 starts, been quite better than average. In fact, his 2.61

At the bottom of the Fangraphs’ leaderboard for wOBA over the last 30 days is Carlos Gonzalez at .227. He’s 10 points lower than anyone else, and he only has two RBI over the past month. CarGo’s numbers are well off of last year’s 40-homer season, and he’s been, according to

This column will be a prequel to my outfield tiered rankings, which will come out next week. This piece will update you on risers and fallers that may be going somewhat unnoticed through the first half-month of the season. Risers Dexter Fowler – Fowler has always been an under-appreciated player

SELL: Matt Kemp – This hurts me, as I’ve always been a Kemp fan, but he’s probably only going to help you in home runs this year. He’s already got four, but that goes with zero other extra-base hits, only one walk, and 10 strikeouts. Even with his four home

To avoid small-sample-size theatre I’m looking at Yahoo!’s transaction page to see which players have been added and dropped and how they can impact your fantasy teams. Texas called up its No. 1 prospect, 20-year-old Nomar Mazara, to fill in for the injured Shin-Soo Choo, who suffered a calf injury

Most of these players are only going to be appealing in deep, five-outfielder leagues or AL/NL-Only leagues. But there’s definitely some late-round value to be had at outfield, so I wanted to give you some of my favorite deep picks. If you have any questions or comments find me on
