Tyler Freeman
Please see our player page for Tyler Freeman to see projections for today, the next 7 days and rest of season as well as stats and gamelogs designed with the fantasy baseball player in mind.
Guardians 2B Juan Brito lost out in his bid for the second base job despite going five for his last ten at bats with zero strikeouts and two home runs. Tyler Freeman has been electric this spring, and though he’s been playing outfield this year after coming up as an infielder, he could probably slide back to the dirt if that’s his path to playing time. Gabriel Arias continues to exist and might be the opening day starter. I have never seen what Cleveland sees in him, but that’s irrelevant. Perhaps Cleveland will recall Brito at the first signs of distress at the keystone, but I’m not encouraged right now.
UPDATE: Freeman has been traded to Colorado for Nolan Jones. Unclear if this means anything to Brito’s chances, or if the Guardians are simply pursuing their quest to get Gabriel Arias as much playing time as possible.

The xFiles: 15 Draft Bargains For 2025 (Hitters Edition)
February 22, 2025 | 2025 Fantasy Baseball | 8 Commentsby: Maks
Every year when we approach spring training and I hear the words “pitchers and catchers report”, I’m reminded of the old Counting Crows song, Long December. The first few lyrics of the song go something like “It’s been a long December and there’s reason to believe, maybe this year will be better than the last.” […]

Top 50 Dynasty Keepers for 2025 – Center Fielders
December 4, 2024 | Fantasy Baseball Keepers | 22 Commentsby: Jakkers
Thanksgiving is behind us, which means two things – the Holiday season is in full swing, and the 2025 Top Dynasty Keepers for 2025 series is in the home stretch.
This week we focus on center fielders, leaving only right fielders and true designated hitters remaining.
For me, the center field position ranks only behind the shortstops when it comes to talent and depth. If you are starting a team from scratch, my first pick is coming from either the shortstop or center field position. This is a position where I am counting on young players to build my team around.
Of the 50 players ranked below, only six of them are 30 or older and a total of 18 ranked players are 25-year-old or younger.
So this is a position that give you a key player for the next half decade or longer.

There’s enough players to worry about on MLB rosters, so I go to Itch with my prospect questions. I have a general sense of who is a top prospect. I […]

FAAB Week 11: Pham-tom Of The Opera
June 7, 2024 | 2024 Fantasy Baseball | 8 Commentsby: Mike Couillard
Despite succumbing this week to an ankle injury sustained in his collision with William Contreras, Tommy Pham, patron saint of this piece, can not be escaped. Just when you thought there would be a reprieve, I hit you with him in the intro. But mostly because players like Tommy Pham keep our fantasy teams afloat […]

Orioles Offense Produced By Pair-a-Mountcastle
June 4, 2024 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes, Featured | 288 Commentsby: Grey
Britbox’s latest serial procedural Mountcastle stars David Tennant as Ryan Mountcastle (2-for-5, 5 RBIs and his 9th and 10th homer). A guy who returned from war and talks about being in a platoon with Ryan O’Hearn, and people keep calling him a Bird, even though that’s British slang for a lady. The Brits are saying […]

Not only is it important to be prepared to shed something to protect our precious roto ratios, but there’s something to be said about the resiliency it takes to move one without […]

What’s The Point: Back To The Well
May 30, 2024 | 2024 Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Baseball Points Leagues | 4 Commentsby: Butters
What is up party people? I’ll be honest, I’m getting really tired of all these outfield injuries. At the risk of jinxing things, I hate that it feels like every week I have to find a replacement for an outfielder. There is no replacing Ronald Acuna Jr and that’s a fact you didn’t need me to tell […]

Welcome back stolen base aficionados. The calendar is about to turn to June, and the fantasy teams are shaking out into the contenders and the teams prepping for Fantasy football season. Today we are going to discuss the classic 2002 Tom Hanks and Leonardo Dicaprio film Catch Me If You Can. The Steven Spielberg biographical […]

I’m still an honest Mariners fan. The offense still is not particularly threatening (despite SOME recent success) and Justin Verlander is Justin Verlander. Kirby is on the mound for the Mariners. This is easily one of the best pitching matchups of the evening. There is no reason why both Verlander and Kirby can’t dominate the […]
