Occasionally, you find a player that is the perfect microcosm for his team. The Nationals embody underachievement in every possible way. They underachieved to the point where they fired their manager despite finishing second in the NL East. Everyone expected them to win the division and advance to the World

An all-star starting pitcher from 2015 has some serious red flags I’m unable to overlook. He’s joined by a righty whose ERA estimators were more than a run better than his ERA in 2015, but the ERA estimators don’t tell the whole story. On the positive side of things, a

In a baseball universe of diminished offense, the 2015 Toronto Blue Jays were an oasis of run production in a desert of dominant pitching. They had the league’s MVP in Josh Donaldson and a pair of dynamic run producers around him in Edwin Encarnacion and Jose Bautista. Then, they acquired

2015 was an exciting year for the Texas Rangers and their fans. They began the season the same way they ended 2014: in last place. But they went on a summer surge and ended up winning the AL West crown. A large part of the resurgence could be explained by

…they’re often overvalued. As many women can probably attest to, if a man is being acknowledged for one particular, standout characteristic, they’re likely hiding some big flaws beneath the surface. Just like the timid co-ed being wooed by the talented, yet troubled star QB, fantasy baseball owners have to discriminate when

If there is anything all of the sports have in common, it is that they all go through periods where there is a glut of talent at one position or another. It might be quarterbacks in football, point guards in basketball, or goalies in hockey. As you might suspect, a

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

Sometimes teams don’t give you a lot of options when it comes to breakout candidates. The Giants are one of those teams. This isn’t to say that the Giants are a bad team. Obviously, you don’t win three World Series titles in the decade when you are a bad team.

Back by popular demand (and by popular demand I mean one guy asking about it on Twitter), it’s the snake draft flow chart! It’s a little late this year because I’ve been more interested in NHL DFS lately, but there’s a short NHL slate not worth playing today, so I

The blogosphere owes Dayton Moore a huge apology. Sure, all of the generic snark kind of looks foolish in the face of two straight pennants and one World Series title. However, more specifically, if we believe the pundits out there (myself included), the Wil Myers trade was the dumbest trade

Like the Athletics, the Pirates are an organization that must rely on smarts in place of money for them to compete. They are in a slightly better position than Oakland because they have enough money to tie up some of their young stars. Andrew McCutchen signed such a deal a

In some ways, we are all sad to see Ruben Amaro Jr. out of Philadelphia. When he was released as general manager, he left a trail of snark behind him long enough to go from Philadelphia to Boston (where he landed as a base coach for the Red Sox). He
