In last week's edition of Dynasty Dugout, we discussed trends amongst middle infielders. This week we dive into the outfield where there's a lot happening. Without a doubt, the position that has seen the most trends so far in 2017 is the outfield. Between top prospects, post-hype sleepers, and former stars, a lot of big names are trending in dynasty leagues. Trending Up Aaron Judge, New York Yankees Let’s start with the biggest outfield riser, no pun intended. Actually, yes, pun intended. Aaron Judge is a goliath. At…

2017 NBA Mock Draft (First Round) 1. Boston Celtics — Markelle Fultz, G (Washington) Markelle Fultz can provide valuable minutes and scoring off the bench the moment he takes the floor in Boston, as he averaged 23.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game for the Huskies as a freshman. He can complement any backcourt pairing of Marcus Smart, Avery Bradley, Terry Rozier and even Isaiah Thomas, who said the two could figure out how to play with one another if he was the top pick. 2. Los…

Two of the hottest young commodities so far this season have been power hitting rookies on different coasts. In New York, outfielder Aaron Judge has taken the big apple by storm. He currently leads the American League in home runs and has become the face of the franchise which the Yankees have been lacking since Derek Jeter retired. On the other coast, 1st baseman Cody Bellinger was called upon to help out a struggling Dodgers offense in late April. After a slow start, Bellinger has dazzled the fans in Hollywood and…

Best Baseball Stadiums: National League The days of the cookie cutter ballparks have mostly been phased out, bringing in a new era of style and strategy for every team in the league. I gathered as must information as possible to make this list, and I feel fortunate that I have personally been in three of these parks, with the other two being recommended by friends and family members. So if someone not associated with the Oscars would pass me the envelope, the following are, in my opinion, the top 5 coolest ballparks can be…

There are three different stages every NHL team goes through at one time or another. Either they team are contending for the cup, they are somewhere in the middle or they are rebuilding for the future. If a team is rebuilding, they will be trading for picks and prospects and scouting the draft. If a team is contending, they are making trades or signing a player to fill a need. Teams in the middle vary, as they can be in the process of going in one or the other direction. Rebuilding is a hard process for the general…

MLB Dynasty Report Or at the very least, known Hope you enjoyed last week’s debut. If you are returning, I’ll take it as a yes. If not, welcome! Haven’t written regular work in some time so I may forget to dot some t’s and cross some i’s. But, we’ll get thru it. Together. Last week I uncovered 3 prospects of whom, short of being a blood relative of, you had likely never heard of. This week will be no different, except for now we’ll look at 2 pitchers and 1 hitter, instead of the other way around. Like last week. The…

Last week we took a look at corner infielders trending one way or the other in dynasty league value. This week, it's time for the middle infielders. There hasn't been a whole lot of movement in the middle infield, but certain players are starting to show their true colors. Trending Up Chris Owings, Shortstop, Arizona Diamondbacks No middle infielder has helped his dynasty league stock more in 2017 than Chris Owings. The 25-year-old Diamondbacks shortstop has thrived hitting mostly out of the second spot in the lineup.…

Welcome to another edition of the Monday Morning Sleeper. Last week, I profiled a running back with an opportunity to take over the lead back duties in Philadelphia. That player is, of course, Wendell Smallwood. He is entering his second season with the Eagles, and it could potentially be his first as the undisputed starter. A Fantasy Football Sleeper is a player that is in a position to play beyond their rankings or expectations, and who may provide you with some value at their draft position.  This week, I will be…

Alex Ovechkin has been in the league for 11 years. He’s won the Hart trophy (MVP) twice, the Rocket Richard, goal leader, 6 times and is 26th all-time in goals scored. He’s definitely the best goal-scorer in the post-lockout NHL era. However, Ovechkin has never made it past the 2nd round. He is 31 years old. He's gotten some help along the way. Namely, Braden Holtby, who joined the team 5 years ago and has been dominant ever since. For a long time, Nicklas Backstrom was the Capitals only other weapon. Now, the Capitals have…

In the last part of the series of MiLB players who should get promoted (or were promoted recently) this season and could help your fantasy team out, I’ll discuss the AL East.

Chance Sisco C The catcher position is so weak in fantasy at the moment that owners probably can’t wait for some fresh energy to be…
