1. Red Sox OF Roman Anthony (20, AAA) 

Doing typical Roman stuff, conquering his contemporaries, slashing .313/.451/.588 with five home runs, two stolen bases, 21 strikeouts (20.6 percent) and 21 walks in 23 games. Ceddanne Rafaela has tripled his walk rate in the early going and has a 128 wRC+ since April 6. He’s an 80-grade defender in center field, so I don’t think he’s going anywhere, which I suppose surprises nobody who regularly reads this space. It’s gonna be interesting though. Wilyer Abreu can’t stop won’t stop hitting, and Jarren Duran is a core player. Can Rafael Devers play first base yet? Could Triston Casas be in trouble? He hit two homers this week, both of the three-run variety, but that’s all he’s done this week, and last week. Since April 6, he’s slashing .151/.286/.283 but with interesting plate skills: 12.7 percent walk rate and a 17.7 percent strikeout rate. If you’re playing a video game, you probably make that move today: call up Anthony and trade Casas. Rumor mill over the winter said the Red Sox were trying to swing a Casas trade, maybe even before the Bregman signing came through if I remember right. Tricky situation. Good problem to have though, especially in a video game.

Welcome back everyone. Yet another week has passed as the first month of the season has nearly concluded. 

At this point of the season, what have we learned? 

Well, we’ve learned that pitchers are still dropping like flies and that having position depth on your team is as valuable as ever. Your task is now finding the right replacements for struggling players or those who will be living on the IL for a while.

One of those “right” replacements is Kameron Misner of Tampa Bay. The left-handed hitting center fielder is not my typical dynasty target as he is already 27 and started his professional career in 2019 – AFTER playing in the SEC at Missouri for three years. But sometimes the diamonds in the rough are players who are a little older.

So, let’s jump in and talk a look at Misner, an up-and-coming dynasty player.

For this week, I thought I would focus on some potential waiver wire adds in shallow leagues. Below, I’ve discussed three names that are being added at a high rate in deeper leagues like Fantrax and NFBC, but what about the types of leagues that most fantasy managers play? Can these guys be a help […]
