Freddie Freeman (1B - ATL) - Freeman extended his hitting streak to 6 games with a 2-4, 2 BB night against the Red Sox that included his 16th HR of the season. Freeman has had one year in his career...

Brandon Crawford (SS - SF) - Crawford was 5-12 with 2 2Bs and a HR over the weekend against the Cubs, continuing his late-career resurgence. I firmly believe that most of this is legitimate, as the new coaching staff that...

Jose Urquidy (SP - HOU) - Whatever I wrote about Urquidy 6 weeks ago, just disregard it. Whatever was wrong with him was clearly fixed on Monday, as he looked as dominant for the first 5 innings as anyone I've...

Joey Gallo (OF - TEX) - We've talked about this multiple times this month on the Fantistics Insider Baseball show, but Joey Gallo simply hasn't been the same player since his oblique injury in June of 2019. Before that you...

Matt Beaty (1B/OF - LAD) - Beaty is a must-add for me for the coming week(s) with all of the injuries the Dodgers have suffered of late. His playing time seems pretty assured for the next few weeks at least,...

Adbert Alzolay (SP - CUB) - Alzolay allowed just 2 ER for the 3rd straight start, holding the Dodgers to 3 hits and a walk with 7 K's over 5 innings of work in a 6-5 extra-inning win. Alzolay is...

Corey Kluber (SP - NYY) - Pardon me for not jumping right on the Kluber bandwagon after Sunday's masterful 8 shutout innings against the Tigers, a performance in which he allowing only 3 baserunners and struck out 10. Kluber navigated...

Danny Duffy (SP - KC) - Duffy allowed 4 singles, 2 walks, and 2 unearned runs over 6 innings on Monday, striking out 8 in his third straight strong performance. Its easy to look at the xFIP and say "random...

Alex Cobb (SP - LAA) - I'd spend a waiver claim on Cobb right now...go do it and then come back and read the rest. As Joe Maddon mentioned in the preseason, Cobb looks a lot more like the pitcher...

Joe Musgrove (SP - SD) - One player we've taken a pretty big stand on this year is Joe Musgrove, SP40 by ADP but SP29 by our rankings. I would encourage you to get on board with this for so...

NEW YORK YANKEES: The Bruce is Loose - Jay Bruce is going to be the Yankees starting 1B for essentially the month of April, and while I'm not thrilled with his skill set at this point in his career, there...

WASHINGTON NATIONALS: It's Just a Flesh Wound - It's sad that when I saw that Stephen Strasburg left Sunday's game early and then found out it was a left calf issue, I said "oh good, just a lower body injury."...

WASHINGTON NATIONALS NL MVP? - I've said this on the air twice so far this year so I might as well say it here as well: in points leagues, Juan Soto is my #1 pick for 2021. He is elite...

Freddie Freeman (1B - ATL) - Possible NL MVP Freddie Freeman didn't start on Friday, yet still managed to win the game for the Braves with a walk-off 2-run blast in the 11th against the Red Sox. The homer was...

Corbin Burnes (SP - MIL) - Burnes had his streak end at 24 innings without allowing an earned run (interestingly enough, Kwang Hyun Kim got to that same mark with his 7 shutout innings in the 1st game of the...

Brandon Woodruff (SP - MIL) - Woodruff had mostly validated our high ranking of him (SP22) through his first 9 starts, but #10 was an absolute gem on Friday as he allowed an Ian Happ single over 7 innings and...

DJ Stewart (OF - BAL) - Man, is DJ Stewart on a heater. After a 3-3 day Wednesday, Stewart is 8-14 with 5 HR over the past 4 games (he's also walked twice), tallying 8 R and 7 RBI over...

Mike Clevinger (SP - SD) - Clevinger heads to San Diego in a great deal for the Padres, coming over with Greg Allen for a whole bunch of stuff the Padres didn't need, including a trio of prospects ranked between...

Brandon Belt (1B - SF) - It figures, that with a career as unfortunate as I perceive Belt's to have been, the one year that San Francisco is playing as a plus offensive ballpark (due to certain internal configurations in...

Wilmer Flores (1B/2B - SF) - Flores is scorching right now, going 7-11 with 3 HR and 10 RBI over the past three games. The thing with Flores is that everyone has this partial misconception of him as a lefty-masher.....he...

Kyle Freeland (SP - COL) - Let's get it out of the way up front: Freeland is due some major regression, with a strand rate and BABIP that are eye-popping right now. That said, this guy looks like a completely...

Fernando Tatis Jr - Tatis looks bigger to me this season, which stands to reason since the kid is probably still growing at barely 21 years of age. That came to mind when I watched him hit his 3rd homer...

Howie Kendrick (1B/2B/OF/DH - WAS) - Between the opt-out of Ryan Zimmerman and the addition of a DH in the NL, Howie Kendrick's value has gotten a huge boost since we spoke to you last. Kendrick has been phenomenal since...

Mitch Garver (C - MIN) - I feel like Garver is still quite a bit undervalued despite his breakout 2019 campaign. He's going in round 11 on average right now, a round or so after Willson Contreras, which I find...

LOS ANGELES ANGELS: As promised, Dylan Bundy! - There are a few possible gems down in the SP100+ category so far this spring, and one of those is absolutely Dylan Bundy. Let's check off the positives: improved team from run...

LOS ANGELES ANGELS: When does the anointed show up? - The question on everybody's minds regarding the Angels is: when will we see Jo Adell? The consensus "top handful" prospect would likely already have been up if not for an...

Paul Goldschmidt (1B - STL) - Goldschmidt hit a couple of homers earlier this week to get to 33 on the year, and he's hit a solid 261/344/529 in the second half. Still, you can't help but feel a bit...

J.D. Davis (3B - NYM) - Davis continues to impress, picking up 3 more hits on Monday to bring his line up to 306/369/515 on the year. He's been phenomenal since the break, hitting .328 and slugging .559 with improved...

Cavan Biggio (2B - TOR) - Biggio is 8-21 with 7 R, 7 BB, 2 SB, 1 2B, 1 3B, and 1 HR over the past 6 games. 221/356/399 through 375 PAs doesn't look like much, but there are a...

Nico Hoerner (SS - CHC) - Hoerner started his MLB career with two singles and a triple in his first 4 ABs, scoring twice and picking up 4 ribbies against the Padres. Despite the debut, the 22 year old shouldn't...

Nick Solak (2B/3B - TEX) - Nick Solak has hit very well since coming up to the majors, going 333/451/524 in 13 games with 3 2B, a 3B, a HR, and a SB. Between the hitting environment and the obvious...

Joshua Rojas (OF/IF - ARI) - The D-Backs brought up Josh Rojas Monday and immediately slotted him into the #6 spot playing LF against the Rockies. Rojas singled twice in 4 ABs, showing some of the contact ability that he...

Marcus Semien (SS - OAK) - After being remarkably consistent (and mediocre) over his age 24-27 seasons, Semien has made huge strides this year to become a very solid offensive player. The past two years have seen him cut his...

Christian Vazquez (C - BOS) - Vazquez doubled and homered against the Dodgers on Friday, giving him 15 homers for the season as he's taken control of the catching position in Boston. He has 5 homers in the past 8...

Noah Syndergaard (SP - NYM) - Thor moved to 6-4 with a 5 inning, 10 baserunner, 4 ER performance against the Phillies on Saturday, and with only 2 dominant performances in his last 10, it's clear to me that there's...

Drew Pomeranz (SP -SF) - Last 4 starts for Pomeranz in that cavernous home park (including Saturday vs. ARI): 20 IP, 18 H, 2 ER, 8 BB, 30 K. Look, Pomeranz makes me as nervous as the rest of you,...
