As long as the wait may have seemed, the 2019 MLB campaign is off to the races, and as usual, there has been no shortage of surprisingly strong starts from players across the board. [...]

Welcome back to fantasy baseball, and welcome to the hitting streamers column for the week of 4/1 - 4/7.[...]

The New York Yankees found themselves trailing by four runs entering the ninth inning when shortstop Troy Tulowitzki led off. The 34-year-old delivered a solo home run to kick off the frame, getting it done while he was down two strikes. It was his only hit of the game, although he drew a pair of walks. Tulowitzki appears to be safe in his role as starting shortstop on the Yankees for the next couple of months as Didi Gregorius recovers from Tommy John surgery.

That's GOLD, Jerry! GOLD!RotoSurgeon here with my first ever "gold predictions" piece. Many of you may not be familiar with my work because I have not been with RotoBaller as long as some of my esteemed colleagues. It is reasonable to not trust nor care about what I say because of my lack of fantasy longevity/relevance, but I felt compelled to throw my hat in the ring here regardless.If most of my predictions turn out true, I guarantee that I will screenshot them on Twitter for my victory lap.

New York Yankees shortstop Troy Tulowitzki will be batting at the bottom of the lineup on Opening Day against the Baltimore Orioles. The veteran infielder will likely see steady playing time until Didi Gregorius (elbow) is back to full health. The 34-year-old hit .242 across 39 plate appearances in spring training with four home runs and eight RBI. Tulowitzki is notoriously injury prone and has only played in 66 games over the past two seasons. His fantasy value is severely limited even though[...]

The RotoBaller Head-to-Head rankings review series continues with a view of shortstop through the lens of our three-man expert panel of fantasy accuracy champ Nick Mariano and premier staffers JB Branson and Bill Dubiel.The position is well-stocked with useful starters, but as you get deeper, the H2H negatives will get exposed more. Near the top, you can tolerate strikeouts from a Trevor Story, but there will not be enough total bases and run production to offset the Ks as you get deeper into th[...]

New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman reiterated his club's confidence in shortstopTroy Tulowitzki, claiming they are "all in" on the veteran and also calling him "our shortstop" as the season nears. Of course, that's the case due to Didi Gregorius' Tommy John surgery and subsequent rehab that will keep him sidelined, perhaps for half of the season. Even if "Tulo" somewhat returns to form this year, his injury history means he'll likely need more than one rest day per week, making him a[...]

Our updated fantasy baseball tiered rankings analysis rolls on with the shortstop position. [...]

I've written before about my qualms with the term "sleeper." In an age where more information is available than ever before, the odds that you'll catch any of your rivals napping on a particular player are fairly low.Having said that, it's still useful to consider players whose average draft position comes in well below what we might expect, if our personal projections are to be believed. That's why describing them as draft values, rather than sleepers, feels more appropriate. Is this distinctio[...]
