2013 Fantasy Baseball Rookie Report, Week 20: Rookie Hitter Keeper Rankings
While this year’s rookie hitters pail in comparison to last year’s rookie hitters, there still are some worth keeping or at least considering keeping. As of right now there’s just a small top tier worth keeping in most if not all leagues, while there are several more with value in
2013 Fantasy Baseball Rookie Report, Week 19: Cingrani, Peralta worth a pickup
This season it’s been hard to keep the Rookie Report fresh, as the same players (Shelby Miller, Julio Teheran, Jose Fernandez) have continued to dominate throughout the season and there has been a definite lack of noticeable rookie hitters outside of Yasiel Puig and Wil Myers. I’ve covered the pitchers
2013 Fantasy Baseball Rookie Report, Week 18: Cole vs. Fernandez; Myers shines
Sundays in Miami are usually reserved for, I’d assume, going to the beach as well as detailing the exploits of a certain serial killer. However, last Sunday those events were put on hold, at least temporarily, for a pitchers’ duel between two of the best young arms in the game.
2013 Fantasy Baseball Rookie Report, Week 17: Cosart shines; Marlins call up Yelich, Marisnick

Sometimes those moves might not be what you want
2013 Fantasy Baseball Rookie Report, Week 13: MVPuig?
Yasiel Puig see ball hit ball far. The Dodgers’ 22-year-old stud hit his seventh homer Monday night in just his 20th MLB game. He’s doing just about everything right. Minus a gaffe in Monday’s game in right field, he’s making highlight plays defensively and offensively. MLB Network’s Heidi Watney tweeted
2013 Fantasy Baseball Rookie Report, Week 11: Cole Cruises in Debut
Gerrit Cole, Pittsburgh’s top prospect and MLB.com’s preseason eighth-ranked minor leaguer, won his first Major League start Tuesday night by shutting out the Giants over 6.1 innings before allowing two earned runs in the seventh. Despite topping out at over 100 mph Cole only recorded two strikeouts. However, he didn’t
2013 Fantasy Baseball Rookie Report, Week 8: Gregorius Raking at the Plate
We’ve been given a great crop of rookie pitchers in 2013. The hitters? Not so much. Evan Gattis, with eight home runs, is the only rookie to hit more than four home runs as of Tuesday evening. Light-hitting Pete Kozma is second in RBI with 17. Only A.J. Pollock has
