With Kris Bryant, Addison Russell and Yasmany Tomas already being called up to the majors, I wanted to take a look at several elite prospects that should be called up shortly.Francisco Lindor has had an iffy start to the 2015 season in triple-A. Through his first 15 games, he was hitting just .196. ...

Week one

Aside from Paul Goldschmidt, A.J. Pollock, Mark Trumbo and maybe Jake Lamb, I dislike just about every member of the Diamondbacks' 25-man roster.However, this team has three excellent buy-low candidates sitting in Reno (its triple-A affiliate) or on a trainer’s table.By now you have probably ...

My first 2015 draft

My 10-team AL/NL head-to-head league had its draft last week, and I was picking fifth. The 6x6 league has BBs and QSs as the final two categories, and you play nine pitchers (it could be nine SPs and zero RPs, four SPs and five RPs, etc.). The first four picks went as expected with Mike Trout going ...

Starting pitcher sleepers and busts

The Brewers’ Mike Fiers leads off my list of starting pitcher sleepers for the 2015 season. He had a tremendous minor league career and a solid rookie season in 2012 before he imploded in 2013. Last season, the Brewers’ No. 4 starter was lights out at both the triple-A and major league levels. I ...

Tufts proves ice hockey program is on the upswing

In the final 13 games of Tufts’ 2013-14 season, the team went 1-11-1, including a 10-game losing streak. The Jumbos lost a talented group of seniors and would only have inexperienced goalies on the roster for the 2014-15 season. Yet, by the end of the year, Tufts was two goals away from reaching ...

Outfield sleepers and busts

Due to the sheer volume of viable fantasy outfielders, I will only be discussing several sleepers and busts for your upcoming drafts.Jorge Soler has been discussed for a long time in fantasy circles, but he belongs on my sleeper list because ESPN has him listed as their No. 38 outfielder.

Fantasy Baseball Closers

Craig Kimbrel, Aroldis Chapman, and Greg Holland are clearly the position’s elite, but none of them will wind up on my teams this spring simply because of how early people tend to draft premium closers.The aforementioned three will bring you excellent ratios and at least 90 strikeouts, but I would ...
