A couple of weeks ago I dug into 15 hitters I think are draft bargains (read here) heading into the 2025 season based on ability, upside, and ADP. Naturally, I threw around a bunch of nerdy stats along the way too. This week, I’m flipping the script and zeroing in on starting pitchers. Both strategically […]

Shepherd University, which is located in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, has produced four draft picks during its history. Three of those players are people who none of us have ever heard of.
But one of them is Brenton Doyle, the center fielder for the Colorado Rockies. Doyle was selected in the fourth round of the 2019 draft, and Doyle has proven to be a great selection by the Rockies.
After the draft he signed with the club and was assigned to Grand Junction, the team’s Rookie ball team. All he did there was slash .383/.477/.611 with eight homers, 33 RBI and 17 steals in 51 games. And all he has done since then is to continue to hit and show improvement at each level of ball he has played on.
So let’s take a dive in the Brenton Doyle, and Up-and-Coming Dynasty Player

Please, blog, may I have some more?Two weeks back, we jumpstarted our 2025 college prospects coverage with a breakdown of the top-10 draft-eligible players to target in dynasty formats. With that came two bonus selections to extend the list to 12, in addition to a handful that “just missed” the cut. Today, we’ll dive into some college prospects who did not […]

After I told you that, they announced their accuracy ranks of ‘pert ranks and I was ranked 2nd for last year: If my math is right, by the year 2084, I will be 6oth best […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Until yesterday, Cubs 3B Matt Shaw has been one of those strange cases where a rookie could be acquired in redraft leagues for very little currency, relative to his skillset and opportunity. This discount can be attributed to the relatively recent clearout of Cubs’ third base options and the fact that Shaw has been injured and hadn’t played this spring. During Tuesday’s game, however, Shaw looked 100 percent, smoking an easy looking single to the opposite field in his first at bat and stroking another single in his second. On the bases that second time, he got a good read off the bat and sprinted to score from first base only to run into Michael Busch at third base when Busch pulled up after rounding third and retreated in spring training style. I mention the sprint because Shaw is clearly feeling good and pushing to make the team.
Please, blog, may I have some more?As we grind toward the finish line for draft season I admit this is the part of the year I both adore and hate most. The excitement of getting down and dirty in the draft room balanced by the 13th round snipe of a player you were targeting. Or for me right now as I […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Last year, Fantasy Pros said I had the best fantasy baseball rankings for the previous year. I did not do well in my leagues the year I had the best rankings. I don’t know how well my fantasy baseball rankings did last year comparatively to other ‘perts, because Fantasy Pros hasn’t announced it yet, but […]
