2019 Fantasy Baseball: August Redraft– Outfielders 25-36
We have almost come to the end of August. There are about two weeks left in the fantasy baseball season, so even though there are about 30 games left in the schedule, the clock is running out. We always love the draft, but as we will see, the guys we
Two to Add, Two to Dump: Centerfield Edition
If you have been following the two to add and two to dump series you know a few things. First, we are basing our recommendations on batted ball data and not traditional numbers. Secondly, the term “dump” is a euphemism for trade. In most cases, these are established players that
2018 Fantasy Baseball: PECOTA Projections– Outfielders Part II
In that last edition we took a look at the top 20 fantasy outfielders according to the PECOTA projections. Naturally, when we start looking at 21-40 we start seeing far less separation. So, sometimes we have to apply our own instincts and we must define our terms. We are looking
2018 Fantasy Baseball: PECOTA Projection Rankings– First Basemen
We usually reboot the rankings every year when the Baseball Prospectus Annual comes out. It’s a good time for any number of reasons. For one, player movement usually has begun to slow down (this year being a notable exception). Secondly, it allows us to shift our thinking from what has
2018 Fantasy Baseball: San Diego Padres Sign Eric Hosmer
The long tortured wait is over. At least’s it’s over for Eric Hosmer. Hosmer and his agent, Scott Boras, apparently won the Mexican standoff with the San Diego Padres and Kansas City Royals and got him his guaranteed eighth season. In this case, the Padres gave him 100 million over
2018 Fantasy Baseball: 5 and 6 Category Rankings– First Base M-Z
It can be difficult to go back to a standard five category league after experiencing total points. There are so many things that those basic formats don’t encompass. Even adding walks (our sixth category) doesn’t quite tell the whole story. So, when you see these players ranked you have to
2018 Fantasy Baseball: Total Points Rankings– First Base M-Z
Total points is taking over the fantasy baseball community and for those of us seamheads, it is isn’t a moment too soon. When you add points for all positive events and deduct for negative events you encompass more of the player and you cease to be a slave to single
2017 Fantasy Baseball: Total Points– First Basemen
The head to head season is nearly over for most fantasy players, but the total points revolution has hit the sport. This is primarily because of the development of daily fantasy sports. Some would consider it gambling, but if you manage it responsibly it can add that little juice you
2017 Fantasy Baseball: Post Deadline Positional Rankings– First Basemen
The non-waiver deadline starts the home stretch for fantasy baseball players. Even though there are seven weeks in the regular season left, there are only three weeks left for head to head fantasy players. So, while we usually wait for the offseason to assess players, we are getting a head
2017 Fantasy Baseball: Pre-Auction First Base Tiers
Live drafts and auctions have few things in common, but the main thing they have in common is that the winning players are able to find undervalued players and avoid overvalued players. So, we are taking one last look at the pre-auction values for players at every position to determine
