I haven't been interested in picking up Matt Boyd at any point over the first five-and-half weeks of this season. His 3.00 ERA and 1.06 WHIP have been sufficiently tidy, but they are temptations I can resist. If not for a laughably low 1.8 runs of support per nine innings, Boyd would certainly have a better record than 1-3 after six starts. However, with a .248 BABIP and a minuscule 5.5 percent home run-to-flyball ratio (HR/FB), the lefty looks like the personification of the small sample caveat.Fantasy owners who have…

Well, folks, here we are. It's the end of the line for my 2018 Dudes and Don'ts, and it's my first foray into calling D&Ds at closer. They're an incredibly volatile bunch, and with so many bullpens still unclear as we roll into the season, one call could be completely wrong within a few days of me writing this. All it takes right now is one bad outing for one of the guys vying for a job to bump him way down the closer depth chart. So what the hell, let's have some fun! It is fantasy, after all. To the Dude!

Ah, the sweet keystone. I actually like a lot of the options up and down the Fantrax Second Baseman ADP this year, which means that I'm not prioritizing second base early in drafts. Don't get me wrong, if I can get my grubby mitts on Jose Altuve, Brian Dozier, or in certain cases even Dee Gordon I'll do it. That said, there are many options I'm content falling back on. It's a great year to let the position come to you. On to The Dude!Dudes and Don'ts: CatcherDudes and Don'ts: First Base The Dude - Yoan Moncada I'll…

This Course Correction series is based on the premise that the player I'm writing about did something rather anomalous in 2017. He overperformed, underperformed, or otherwise stood out to me in some regard. You might say that someone who led all qualified hitters in BABIP would qualify for such an examination. You might be right. In fact, if you asked me to name someone off the top of my head who would produce much different numbers in 2018 compared to 2017, this would be the name that escaped my mouth. That name is Avisail…
