Below you will find our rest of season tiered rankings for relief pitchers. This list was constructed reflecting the probability of trades being completed between now and the MLB trade deadline. Obviously a bird in hand is better than two in the bush, but it feels necessary to account for potential moves and the impact it will have on that player's projections. Let's get to it. Editor’s Note: You can check out all of RotoBaller’s fantasy baseball midseason rankings and analysis, which [...]Keep on reading: Midseason Fantasy Baseball Tiered Rankings: Relief Pitchers

Stoneface (micro)brewery on the Seacoast of New Hampshire is FANTASTIC. Hidden in a warehouse space in a commercial office park near the highway. It has no particular appeal, other than the beer. No restaurant or bar, just a concrete floor with kegs, boxes and stacks of beer surrounding a counter with taps for tasting and filling growlers. Nothing Flashy, just great beer. They have this American IPA, referred to as Stoneface IPA, and it’s the winner. It’s the best beer. It’s a perfect b[...]Keep on reading: Cut List (Week 12): Players to Consider Cutting Bait On . . .

Saves are an important component for many fantasy baseball leagues. Closers are one of the most volatile positions in fantasy baseball, and one of the highest turnover positions in MLB. Each year, closers drop like flies and many MLB teams make in-season changes due to injuries or poor performance. Stay on top of all closer depth charts for the AL and NL, and dominate in saves this year. We will be updating the MLB Closers & Saves Depth Charts all season long.  Bookmark this page, an[...]Keep on reading: MLB Closers & Saves: Fantasy Baseball Depth Charts

We’re rapidly approaching the point where unexpected successes or struggles can’t merely be hand-waved as small sample flukes, though some still qualify as such. While 80 percent of the season remains, there is such a thing as being too patient. Around this time last year, I was able to trade Allen Craig and Tony Cingrani for valuable assets. Their slow starts ultimately became lost seasons, and I divested before it was too late. If you’re ready to cut loose an anchor or two from your r[...]Keep on reading: Five Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds for Week 6

Over the last few years in fantasy baseball, the topic of player tiers or tiered rankings has become a trendy way to approach your draft. Often times, in real life, something that is trendy doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best course of action or the smartest idea. It very easily could be something that will be temporary. However, in the case of looking at how to draft your team in fantasy baseball, breaking positions down into tiered rankings m[...]Keep on reading: 2015 Fantasy Baseball Draft Strategy: How To Use Tiered Rankings

Shortstop Buyer Beware Shortstop is traditionally one of the weaker positions on the fantasy baseball diamond, and 2015 figures to be no exception. With that being said, I find it difficult to justify buying these three shortstops at their currently inflated ADP prices, as they simply have very little chance to produce equal value - let alone turn a profit - based on their metrics and circumstances. We've already discussed three overvalued catchers, first basemen, second basemen, third bas[...]Keep on reading: Three Shortstops Who Will Underperform Their ADP: Rankings Analysis

The Final Chapter I considered skipping out on this article because of how volatile the closer position is in fantasy baseball. At the end of the day though, every fantasy team needs closers, dynasty and redraft leagues. Closers are the only relief pitchers we really value in the fantasy baseball community unless you play in a holds league. Even then, teams are changing the structure of their bullpen so often that there is little stability. Sure that means the guys at the top are fairly valu[...]Keep on reading: 2015 Dynasty / Keeper Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Relief Pitchers
