MLB News and Notes: Week of May 7

Protection. It is needed in so many different ways. For fantasy owners, the best protection for fantasy owners is making sure you keep up with news concerning your players, such as hot and cold streaks, and whether an injury may impact playing time or lead to a stint on the disabled list. Speaking of protection, did you notice what happened to Yadier Molina on Saturday? The veteran Cardinals catcher took a 100 MPH foul tip off the bat of Kris Bryant in his groin. Even with all of the protection catchers wear, that can still…

Statcast Corner: Nomar Mazara, Reynaldo Lopez, and Other Breakouts

The 2018 season is less than two weeks old, and we're approaching the point where we have a large enough sample size to feel comfortable analyzing meaningful statistics.

All of this played a huge part in how these rankings were constructed. Most of the names in the top-10 are household fantasy names, but a couple of youngsters join them after…
