Schuyler Dombroske: has been a Yankees fan since the early '80's, and has absolutely no remorse about the Boss spending money since he believes, that in no way guarantees any type of success by itself. Schuyler has been playing some form of fantasy baseball since 1987, switching from play-by-mail PTP board leagues to roto-style ball in around 1993. Schuyler still plays Diamond Mind (sort of 2nd generation PTP), roto, Diamond Kings, and STATS Diamond Legends on a reasonably consistent basis. Schuyler lives in Syracuse, NY with his wife, Deena, son Griffin (18), and daughter Kendall (16). Schuyler has been a financial advisor, now with Cadaret Grant, since 1995.
Andrew Heaney (SP - TEX) - Now that's what I'm talking about! I'm glad we had the courage of our convictions to stick with Heaney this week after his opening debacle against the O's, as Heaney put up the kind...
Miguel Vargas (LAD - 2B) - I wouldn't read too much into the spring stats of Vargas, who didn't even swing a bat for the first handful of games that he played in. Excluding the games in which he wasn't...
Jordan Walker (3B/OF - STL) - Every year there's a prospect that has a hot spring training and sees their ADP shrink seemingly by the hour, and this year that guy is Jordan Walker. Walker is absolutely a legitimate hitter,...
Anthony Volpe (SS/2B - NYY) - The Yankees appear set in the middle infield right now with 5 players for 4 spots, but the underwhelming performances of IKF and Donaldson last season may leave a small opening for Anthony Volpe...
Bryan De La Cruz (OF - MIA) - I'm starting to get intrigued here. De La Cruz was demoted in mid-August after hitting 205/249/332 through his first 90 games with Miami, and the playing time was pretty consistent for June...
Nick Gordon (2B/SS/OF - MIN) - Gordon singled and homered on Monday, giving him 3 HR in his last 6 games. The 26 year old's progress toward a productive player has been much slower than expected, but he was hitting...
Alex Cobb (SP - SF) - Cobb bounced back from a rough outing in LA last week to toss a gem on Monday night: 7 IP, 6 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 7 K against the Braves. Cobb has really...
Hunter Brown (P - HOU) - The Astros had been incredibly patient with Hunter Brown compared to most teams these days, giving him over 200 IP in the high minors over the past two seasons before tabbing him for his...
Corbin Carroll (OF - ARI) - Corbin Carroll made his major league debut on Monday, going 1-5 with a 2-run double in the victory over the Phillies. Carroll is a must-add in all formats immediately, as the 22 year old...
Albert Pujols (future HOF - STL) - Can we talk about what the future Hall-of-Famer is doing? He has looked done since 2016, including a 215/301/376 line in the first half this year. Something happened during that HR Derby I...
Johnny Cueto (P - CWS) - Cueto baffled the Astros for 8 innings on Monday, allowing 6 hits and 2 runs (1 earned) despite only striking out 3. That's Cueto's 9th straight QS, and through 16 starts he's allowed more...
Vaughn Grissom (2B/SS - ATL) - It was a heck of a debut for 21 year old Vaughn Grissom, who went 2-4 with a HR and a SB while starting at 2B on Wednesday for the Braves. Grissom has done...
Jon Gray (SP - TEX) - Gray continued his run of solid pitching on Wednesday with a phenomenal outing against the hapless A's: 7 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 9 K. Since the beginning of June, Gray is...
Isaac Paredes (1/2/3 - TB) - Paredes got the day off on Wednesday, something that hopefully won't cool off this tremendous hot streak that he's been on. Paredes is hitting .291 with 10 HR over the past 30 days, and...
Lucas Giolito (SP - CWS) - Giolito was shelled for the second straight start on Wednesday, giving up 11 hits and 7 runs to the Jays over 5 innings to drop to 4-4 on the year. Giolito has only 3...
Paul Goldschmidt (1B - STL) - Goldschmidt extended his hitting streak to 18 games with his 9th HR of the year in the 4-2 win over Milwaukee on Friday. There are a few things here that are mildly disturbing though:...
Tarik Skubal (SP - DET) - Skubal was brilliant on Sunday, shutting out the O's over 6 innings while allowing just 3 singles and 2 walks with 11 strikeouts. He has now allowed 0 runs in 4 of his 7...
Christian Yelich (OF - MIL) - Yelich hit for the cycle on Wednesday, and maybe this will be the day that gets him going again. There's really quite a bit of reason for optimism if you ask me: he's only...
Jurickson Profar (2/O - SD) - Jurickson Profar, hitting cleanup for the Padres, hit his 5th homer of the season while walking twice on Wednesday against the Reds. 7 of Profar's last 8 hits have been for extra-bases as he...
Clayton Kershaw (SP - LAD) - Kershaw opened his season in the best way possible on Wednesday, throwing 7 perfect innings with 13 K's (11 on his slider) before being pulled after 80 pitches, 20 of which were swinging strikes....
Clint Frazier (OF - CHC) - I still get some post-hype prospect vibes from Clint Frazier as he enters his age-27 season, and there's still potential here. He has fantastic strike zone discipline, with chase rates of 18% and 19%...
Tommy Pham (OF - CIN) - I feel compelled to add on to Menachem's comment about the Pham signing for Cincinnati.....I'm just way too excited about it. There are so many "up arrows" here I can't even contain myself. Pham...
Jose Berrios (SP - TOR) - We have many of the top 30 SPs as slight overdrafts relative to projected value right now, but Berrios is one of the few pitchers that we feel is being slightly ignored. Our philosophy...
Lance Lynn (SP - CWS) - I'd be willing to bet that Lance Lynn is the payer we have the largest discrepancy on vs. the general public that's going in the first 100 picks. There are many reasons for this,...
C. J. Cron (1B - COL) - Cron has cooled off a bit from a crazy August (387/463/828), but he did homer again in Philly on Friday night to give him 15 in the 2nd half and 27 for the...
Jorge Polanco (2B/SS - MIN) - Polanco continued his monster second half on Monday, tallying 3 doubles and a homer in the 5-2 win over Cleveland. The 28 year old came into the game hitting 322/368/633 with 14 HR in...
Brendan Rodgers (SS - COL) - Rodgers walked, doubled, and homered to start September in Colorado's 9-5 win over the Rangers. The 25 year old hasn't been quite as good as expected with the Rockies, but he's made some huge...
Brandon Lowe (2B - TB) - Lowe had a massive day Monday, singling and hitting two homers against the Orioles in a blowout win. Lowe is up to 28 HRs on the year now, and you'd be forgiven for casting...
Nathan Eovaldi (SP - BOS) - Lost in the offensive barrage in Boston on Wednesday was a fantastic outing by Nathan Eovaldi, who struck out 10 in 7 innings while allowing just 3 hits and 1 run. There's some pretty...
Harrison Bader (OF - STL) - Bader singled in the only run for the Cards in an 8-1 loss to Minnesota on Saturday, bringing his line down to 293/354/522 through 45 games this season. He has 9 HR and 6...
Mike Minor (SP - KC) - Minor was very solid against the White Sox on Monday, allowing 2 runs on 3 hits and 2 walks over 6 innings, striking out 7 for his second straight QS. I've already seen a...
Jorge Polanco (SS - MIN) - Polanco had a great day against the White Sox Wednesday, going 3-4 with a 2B, HR, and SB in the 7-2 win. He has 4 HR and 3 SB in the past 8 games,...
Gleyber Torres (SS - NYY) - Torres homered twice and walked 3 times Saturday and Sunday against Boston as he continues to show signs that he is breaking out of his season-long slump. I understand how bad he's been this...
Chris Paddack (SP - SD) - Paddack was shelled for the 2nd time in 3 starts on Wednesday, this time allowing 9 runs (8 earned) on 9 hits to the Nationals in just 2 innings. There are some bright spots...
Shohei Ohtani (minor deity - LAA) - Ohtani only managed one hit in 5 trips to the plate on Monday, but that one was his 26th HR of the season. We were talking about him on the Fantistics Insider Baseball...
Jonathan Schoop (2B/1B - DET) - Schoop doubled and homered (his 5th in 8 games) on Wednesday, and that was after coming into the game hitting 365/422/811 for the month of June. He's frankly been terrific since mid-May, and I...
