Here are some predictions as they relate to middle infielders this year. 1) Fernando Tatis Jr. hits at least .275 with 30+ home runs […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?This week we’re taking a look at the second base landscape, which is definitely shallower than the shortstop position. Overall, second base is looking even bleaker as Jose Altuve becomes the latest injury casualty of the World Baseball Classic. However, there’s always room for finding value and hidden gems at every position. AL East: Blue […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It’s been a good time to be an MLB shortstop, given the overall depth of the position and the historical off-season we’ve had thus far. Marquee free agent shortstops Trea Turner, Xander Bogaerts, Dansby Swanson, and Carlos Correa inked deals totaling around a billion dollars. Despite two failed physicals, Carlos Correa still made out like […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Good day, We are at the goal line of the 2022 regular season (to borrow a football reference). This season’s been nothing short of historic: between Aaron Judge’s pursuit of the AL home run record, Albert Pujols’ 700th homer, and the seemingly endless amount of rookie callups that have hit the ground running. Before I […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Good day, As the 2022 regular season winds down, let’s review the shortstop pool. Booms: Dansby Swanson – Braves – We’ve likely seen Swanson’s career year as he approaches free agency. His 93/21/89/.279/.332/18 line has been a great value from where he was drafted this year. Many teams will likely line up for Swanson’s services […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?We’re towards the end of our marathon, friends. One or two weeks separate us from fantasy glory depending on your league settings. If you’re in a head-to-head league, you’re likely looking at the 7 & 30-day Player Rater. Middle infielders Willy Adames, Gleyber Torres, Marcus Semien, and Gunnar Henderson have been among the hottest bats […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Change is upon us, my friends. This past Friday, MLB announced various rule changes that would be implemented across the big leagues in 2023. We’ll see a pitch clock in MLB, the shift will be banned, and the bases will be enlarged (to name a few). These changes are mostly under the guise of speeding […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?Good Day, We’re wrapping up the dog days of summer as we approach Labor Day. Hopefully, your teams are in a good position for a playoff/money spot in your leagues and hopefully, you’re not too focused on fantasy football as of now (even though it’s the biggest football draft weekend). At this point, you’re aware […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Good Day All, We find ourselves in the dog days of summer. Congrats to those in the hunt of their respective leagues, and congrats to those still reading these articles.

Please, blog, may I have some more?Good Day (to everyone except for Padres fans and Fernando Tatis Jr. owners), If you’ve followed MLB, or any professional sports for that matter, we’ve been graced throughout the years with some of the silliest excuses and quotes for steroid abuse use. We’ve heard lines from pro athletes such as: “I had to live up […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hey All, Well, we’ve surely had a Trade Deadline to tell the kids and grandkids about! Padres general manager AJ Preller has cleared out his farm system in a way we’ve never seen before. Talk about seizing the day and making a push for job security!
