Giants, what should I do with these guys? Before we enter a new week ahead let's take a look at the Giants and how they have been performing. Maybe, I should say under performing. Last week was just awful. The San Francisco Giants would win just one game and saw them get blasted in Cincinnati to the Reds. A very humiliating 31-5 in total scoring. The first two games the Reds scored 14 runs and then returned the next day to put up 13. With these kinds of numbers, it's hard to say what direction to go with San…

The 2017 fantasy baseball season is barely a month old, but so much has already happened. We've seen some blazing starts, prolonged slumps, and plenty of trips to the newly created 10-day disabled list. A lot of movement is happening in terms of player's value in dynasty leagues. Let's take a look at some corner infielders trending in different directions. Trending Up Freddie Freeman, 1st Base, Atlanta Braves Since debuting for the Braves in 2010, Freeman has been a fairly productive player. His potential and big frame,…

Before They Were Stars or at the very least, known Each week I will bring you 3 Players who are having success in the minors and are on the verge of becoming desired Dynasty assets. While some may already be owned in your leagues, I am concentrating on guys who should be available at a low cost – whether as outright Free Agents, or players you can trade for. This is designed for the deeper Dynasty owner (think 200+ minor leaguers rostered), but at the very least can be used to introduce you to guys you should be…

On Sunday night’s broadcast on ESPN, Jessica Mendoza noted that, with the suspension of Pittsburgh's  Starling Marte and the season-ending injury to Washington's Adam Eaton, the Red Sox have the best outfield in baseball with their group of young and exciting stars. Ordering the outfields behind Boston's, however, is trickier. One can make a compelling case for the Angels or Nationals based on the presence of one elite player, but an outfield comprising three good players rather than one elite one is less risky, less…

In the last edition of the Monday Morning Sleeper, I profiled a running back named Paul Perkins who is entering his second season with the Giants, and who is primed to take a huge leap forward in the ranks of fantasy football. Just this week, Giants Coach, Ben McAdoo named Perkins the starting running back for the Giants. This further paves the way for his breakout season. This week, I will be profiling a player with a similar opportunity. That player is Wendell Smallwood, and he is a sophomore running back playing for…

In part 5 of my MiLB watch-list, I’ll take a look at the NL East. MiLB Players Watch-List: NL Central MiLB Players Watch-List: NL West MiLB Players Watch-List: AL Central  MiLB Players Watch-List: AL West MiLB Players Watch-List: AL East NL EAST Atlanta Braves Before I start I just have to say that the Braves farm system is loaded with young pitching. Their future on that front is very very bright. 1. Ozhaino ‘Ozzie’ Albies SS/2B And after saying that, of course, I’ll start with a hitter. It’s…

A week ahead look for the San Francisco Giants. The San Francisco Giants have had one of the worst months of baseball in a very long time. They only won one series and couldn't string two wins together. Playing against division rivals, the Giants totaled an 8-15 record. Against Arizona (3-3), San Diego (2-4), Colorado (1-6), and a split versus Los Angeles (2-2). The hitting couldn't be at a worse level than it is right now. According to the stats on MLB.com, there is only one player who has a high enough batting average…

New York Mets' top prospect, the number two shortstop prospect, and the top prospect in all of baseball. These are just a few things that the Mets' Amed Rosario has added to his resume. The 21-year-old out of the Dominican Republic signed with the Mets as an international free agent back in July of 2012. Since then, his $1.75 million bonus has not only been justified but is looking more and more like a bargain. Rosario has held his own throughout the minors. He officially broke out in 2016 with a campaign that…

If you are looking for an article that suggests that Joel Quenneville should be fired as head coach of the Blackhawks, you have come to the wrong place. There are many other factors that play into the reasons why the Chicago Blackhawks have now been eliminated in the opening round of the NHL playoffs for the second year in a row. GM Stan Bowman has already stated that Quenneville will be the coach and started one of his many promises to not let the disappointing effort his team put in against the Nashville Predators happen…
