Every year we encounter the inevitable reshuffling of the top X list in fantasy baseball. Depending on how intricate you want to get, “X” can really range as high or low as you want and you’ll still get a hefty juggling of names. Even if I wanted to talk about the new top 10 players, I could easily do so after just a quarter of the season. It’s volatile, hard to predict, and most importantly fun to look at for crazies like myself. Today I want to look at players who were drafted in the top 50 (per Fantrax ADP, found here)…

We are entering that part of the season where a slew of players are being called up due to injury or ineffectiveness. The thing is, we’ve already pretty much blown through the top prospects, so now we're on to the lesser known guys — the deep guys who don’t get discussed quite as frequently so maybe you’ve never heard their name or what to expect from them. Today we’re going to take a look at some of these guys and get a good idea of what kind of performance to expect from these rookies and whether or not a top prospect or…

There are three words that are synonymous with buy-low pitcher targets: Tommy John surgery. What used to be a curse for pitchers, now isn't so terrifying to think about. Sure, the pitcher will miss anywhere from 12 to 18 months, but pitchers are coming back just as strong, if not stronger than they were pre-surgery.

But even with them missing the 2018 season, and likely a little of 2019, their upside…

When it comes to prospects, the New York Mets organization isn't an ideal place to do your shopping. Coming into the season, only one Mets prospect cracked top-100 industry lists, and that was Andres Gimenez. None cracked my own top-100 dynasty prospect rankings here on Fantrax, with only one being close, and it wasn't Gimenez. It was Mr. Peter Morgan Alonso.Alonso was drafted by the Mets in the 2nd round of the 2016 amateur draft after a very productive junior season at the University of Florida. In 211 at-bats, Alonso…

Vladito! The Rise of Vladimir Guerrero Jr Vladimir Guerrero Jr is better known as Vladito! on The Baseball Show, and is quickly bursting onto the national scene. Many in the Baseball world knew him, as he tagged along for his father's journey to a Hall of Fame career. But now, he is making a name for himself. Still just 19 years old, he has handled every level so far with ease. He has started the 2018 campaign in Double-A, and thru 29 games has mashed 36 RBI to the tune of a .386 Batting Average. Many thought he wouldn't…
