I'm colorblind, I love turtles and I had tickets to the Cubs' 2003 World Series. I used to play "old-school fantasy sports" where my brother and I would put baseball cards up against each other. The victor was whoever won more categories on the back of the card. That was the gateway drug to my 20 years of fantasy obsession.
Addison Russell (SS-CHC) Russell was right in the middle of the Cubs' offensive barrage on Friday. The young shortstop was 3-4 with a pair of doubles, lifting his batting average over .280 for the first time since April 7. I...
Kris Bryant (3B-CHC) Kris Bryant hit leadoff for the first time in his career on Friday, and he rewarded the Cubs with three hits. However, there are overt concerns with the former MVP. Bryant is in the longest homerless drought...
Shohei Ohtani (SP-LAA) Rain delays should not be allowed during Ohtani starts. DON'T DEPRIVE US OF SHO-TIME!!! There were actually two delays in Wednesday's game, the second of which effectively ended the rookie's night. He left with a no-decision after...
Mitch Moreland (1B-BOS) Going from Hanley Ramirez to Mitch Moreland as the Red Sox everyday first baseman certainly doesn't seem like losing a whole lot offensively. Forget the whole contract situation and the financial reasons for designating HanRam for assignment....
Jose Martinez (STL-1B) Can we start officially referring to Jose Martinez as a starting major leaguer? After going 2-4 with a double, 2 runs scored and a walk in Wednesday's win over Minnesota, Martinez now has 490 career plate appearances....

Paul Goldschmidt (1B-ARI) Is this just a slump or a serious reason for concern? After going 0-3 with two walks on Saturday, Goldschmidt still doesn't have a hit since April. His last home run was three weeks ago and he's...
Brian Dozier (2B-MIN) Brian Dozier went hitless with a strikeout in four at-bats on Wednesday, dropping his batting average to .236 and his OPS to .697. Dozier has one hit in his last 22 plate appearances. Things would look even...
James Paxton (SP-SEA) Paxton was dealing on Thursday, changing speeds and eye levels. If you have the ability to watch archived games, fast forward to the Yan Gomes at bat in the 2nd inning. He threw two soft curves on...
Paul DeJong (SS-STL) DeJong belted his second home run in the last four games, finishing Saturday's game 2-4 with two RBIs. He is now top-5 in all of baseball in home runs with six. After hitting 38 long balls between...
Robinson Cano (2B-SEA) Somehow Cano's batting average rose again. After going 1-1 with three walks and two runs scored on Friday, Cano's slash is now .424/.578/.545. Throughout his Mariners' tenure, Cano's BABIP has been in a steady decline, from .335...
Preston Tucker (ATL) Another modestly productive game for Preston Tucker (1-2, BB, R, RBI), but as the Braves' outfielder continues to put up good numbers, fantasy owners need to beware. This is somewhat of a mirage. Tucker is benefiting from...
