Hoover, Jason Hammel, Joaquin Benoit, Jose Bautista, Jumbo Diaz, Justin Upton, Justin Verlander, Mark Reynolds, Mat Latos, Michael Pineda, Pedro Alvarez, Prince Fielder, Steve Cishek, Tony Cingrani and more! I must say I quite enjoy being involved in lists like these. If you are wrong, no one can say anything because they’re supposed to be long shots! I did my best to keep in line with things that might actually happen. Let’s see how we do. Editor's note: Be sure to check out our fantasy baseball rankings assistant. We recently launched this handy new rankings tool - you can easily filter, sort, and export all sorts of rankings for mixed leagues, AL/NL only, top prospects, dynasty formats[...]Keep on reading: Christopher Olson's 10 Bold Predictions for 2016

This article references A, Alex Guerrero, Allen Craig, Andre Ethier, Anthony Gose, Carl Crawford, Kelly Johnson, Mark Canha, Rajai Davis, Scott Van Slyke, SP, Tony Cingrani, Yasiel Puig and more! 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

Jobs are being won, depth charts established, service time manipulated, and all that good preseason stuff. All the guys listed here (and in the next and final installment of this list) will have a legitimate chance to contribute this season. Even if they aren't guys you wi€™ll want to draft right away, they are all worth ke[...]Keep on reading: Eye on the Minors: Redraft Pitching Prospects #11-20

This article references Alfredo Simon, Homer Bailey, Jason Marquis, Johnny Cueto, Mat Latos, Mike Leake, Paul Maholm, Tony Cingrani and more! After Latos and Simon were traded and Bailey was injured and deemed unable to start by Opening Day, the Reds have 3 rotation spots open with Cueto and Leake manning the top two positions. Early in the offseason, it looked as if Tony Cingrani and newly-acquired Anthony DeSclafani would be the choices for the spots with Simon and Latos being gone. On March 16, Cingrani was scratched from his Spring Training start (with Raicel Iglesias getting the nod) and was moved to the bullpen. Reds’ manag[...]Keep on reading: Reds Share Details on Rotation Plans: Cingrani to the Pen

This article references Alfredo Simon, Johnny Cueto, Mat Latos, SP, Tony Cingrani and more! CURRENT ADP: 325 RANKINGS STATUS: Undervalued ANALYSIS: An injury to the shoulder and a breakout campaign by Alfredo Simon limited the production of Tony Cingrani in 2014. He was unable to match his rookie season success in which he logged 104.2 innings with a 2.94 ERA, a 1.10 WHIP, and 120 strikeouts (an incredible 10.4 K/9) while making spot starts for the oft-injured Johnny Cueto. His shortened sophomore campaign saw him strike out 61 batters in 63.1 innings, but he posted a 4.55 ERA [...]Keep on reading: Tony Cingrani (SP, CIN) – 2015 Fantasy Baseball Rankings Analysis

Lets Go Shopping For Sleepers!It's week 10 and it's time to go shopping for starting pitcher sleepers in fantasy baseball. You don't need to bring any coupons and you won't need that little tag with the bar code that you keep on your key chain that you hand to the cashier so that you can get the sale price. You are going to get the sale price because I've been working diligently to find another four buy low starting pitching options for you. As always I've also identified two pit[...] Keep on reading: Buy Low and Sell High: Starting Pitchers for Week 10

It's mostly about pitching today, but I'll toss in some updates on a few hitters that are really bringing it this season as well. I'm nothing if not well rounded. Just ask around. Boy is that Adrian Beltre a stable option. He's batting .317 with 29 homers, 90 RBIs and 85 runs scored. He's even [...]

I was thinking about my Vegas trip over the weekend. Seems like I should move to either Vegas or Hawaii. Odd how I could be so attracted to both spots given how vastly different that they are. I'm leaning Hawaii. Something about the warm breeze on the beach beats the clubs in Vegas and both [...]

It's Independence Day and we should all celebrate, responsibly. So enjoy yourselves while I slave away for your enjoyment. LOL. If I asked you who had the best batting average in baseball on the road, who would you suggest? Cabrera, Molina, Pedroia? Nope. Among players who have at least 100 plate appearances on the the [...]
