As I was growing up during the mid to late '90s, a shortstop revolution changed the way we thought about the position’s offensive capabilities. Guys like Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, Nomar Garciaparra, and Miguel Tejeda blazed onto the scene and quickly proved that shortstop was more than just a position for defensive prowess. Over the last few years, another wave of dynamic offensive talents has graced the shortstop position. Just look at the top-10 of these rankings. The "old" man of the top-10 is Elvis Andrus at 29,…

Blake Griffin Now a Piston That doesn’t sound right, does it? After seven and a half seasons with the Clippers, Blake Griffin will now be playing some DEEEETROIT BASKETBALL. Sorry, I've always loved that chant they do. Early last week, the Clippers sent Griffin to the Pistons for Avery Bradley, Tobias Harris, Boban Marjanovic, and a first-round pick. For Griffin, the trade doesn't move the needle on his fantasy value very much. However, it certainly does for the three players heading to Hollywood in this deal. Other…

One of the most enjoyable parts of fantasy sports in debating which players are better than others. We've all done it. You're hanging out with some friends, probably enjoying a beer or two, and you get into a long discussion over which player is better than another one. Sometimes it might get heated, but that's okay. We aren't all going to agree on every single player. That would make fantasy leagues incredibly boring. The same can be said here at Fantrax. We have a great group of writers and podcasters (that might not be a…

The anticipation is almost over, and Super Bowl LII is just about upon us. The Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots each ended the regular season with identical 13-3 records. Each team finished first in their respective conference and won two home games to earn a berth to Super Bowl LII. The Patriots dominated the Tennessee Titans 35-14 in the Divisional Round before earning a 24-20, come from behind victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC Championship Game. The Eagles squeaked by the Atlanta Falcons…

The winter transfer window has closed, and it was an exciting one. A “love” triangle between Arsenal, Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund was the main reason for the tense anticipation until the final hours. Arsenal eventually got their man, as Aubameyang’s childish behavior was rewarded with a team record-breaking $77 million move to London, which sees him re-unite with his former Dortmund teammate – Henrikh Mkhitaryan. The Gabonese’s arrival triggered a domino effect, the result of which was Chelsea’s acquisition of Olivier…
