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…

With all hitting positions in the books, it's time to move to the mound. As was the case with my Outfield Dudes, these players are all going to be down a bit in Fantrax ADP. It doesn't do you any good to have me tell you how great Chris Sale is (especially when it comes to kirigami). The aces will cost you plenty, and you're just hoping they break even and don't bust. The real profit comes from the players you're taking in the middle-to-late rounds that provide excellent returns on your investment. Here are some starters I…

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: Catcher Dudes and Don'ts: First Base The Dude - Yoan Moncada I'll…

With spring training getting underway, the 2018 fantasy baseball season is very nearly approaching. Each week, I will be evaluating one player’s stock for this year. This week, a player who used to be one of baseball’s best pitching prospects, and who tapped into his upside in the second-half last season thanks to a dramatic uptick in the quality of his stuff and an emerging offspeed pitch.

Welcome to the 2018 series of Dudes and Don'ts! What is a Dude and a Don't, you ask? Well, essentially, a sleeper and a bust but with a fancier name. These are players that I like or dislike for the 2018 season, broken down by position. For each position I'll give you one Dude, one Don't, and one Deep League Dude. The exception to that will be for outfielders and starting pitchers, where I'll give some extra guys since those positions are deep. Join or start a fantasy baseball league at Fantrax today!
