Trade Deadline Value Gainers: 2023 Middle Infielders
August 7, 2023 | 2023 Fantasy Baseball | 2 Commentsby: scar
The Trade Deadline has come and gone, and unless you’re a fan of one of the MLB teams from Texas, it was a relatively quiet deadline with no huge blockbusters like the Juan Soto trade we saw last year. However, there’s still some positive value to be derived through some under-the-radar moves made in the […]

Let’s take a look at a trio of middle infielders as we dissect their present and future fantasy value: Matt McLain: Reds – Sticking with the Cincinnati theme here: Matt McLain, overshadowed by Elly De La Cruz, has a 25/3/15/.328/.380/3 line in 131 at-bats and has remained a steady presence at the top of the […]

Eloy Jimenez has all the talent in the world, doesn’t he? When he’s healthy and “on” he often reminds me of the great Manny Ramirez – loose, smooth, and confident. But can Eloy ever stay on the field with any consistency at this point? This week it’s a hamstring injury – always a giant red […]

Good Day, We’re wrapping up the dog days of summer as we approach Labor Day.

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!

Please, blog, may I have some more?Hey All, I’ve been procrastinating writing this article this week, hoping to see how this season’s Trade Deadline unfolds even further before this article is due, and also before the August 2nd, 6 P.M. EST Trade Deadline. While most of the focus (rightfully so) has been on where Juan Soto will land, and if the […]

July 4, 2022 | 2022 Fantasy Baseball | 7 Commentsby: scar
Happy 4th of July! This top 20 shortstops rankings certainly looks way different in July than I envisioned way back in the preseason. Many player values from the preseason have skyrocketed and/or fizzled in value as we approach the All-Star break. As usual, we have our injuries (Fernando Tatis Jr., Jorge Polanco, Adalberto Mondesi), ineffectiveness […]
