Feast your eyes on the beautiful, the bold, and the basically belligerent predictions of 2018. Some of these are outrageous but all possible outcomes in my eyes for the upcoming baseball season.Previous Bold PredictionsEric CrossRyan Cook's Bullpen PredictionsRonald Acuna has a combined 50 HR+SB – Only nine players had over 50 HR+SB in 2017. Mike Trout was the only one to do so in under 139 games. The current expectation is that Acuna will make his major league debut sometime soon after April 13. …

It is very easy to discuss what should be done during a draft. It’s often a little more difficult to implement said strategies in real time.

The below list combines both 2017 performance and predicted future success.#10 Robbie Ray, Starting Pitcher, Arizona DiamondbacksI should…

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 BravesSince debuting for the Braves in 2010, Freeman has been a fairly productive player. His potential and big frame,…
