SUNDAY UPDATE Nothing has changed as it’s still Vinnie P and Hall Week. Let’s see if Hall crushes another bomb on Sunday Night Baseball and sees his market rate increase further.  Pitchers Frankie Montas (OAK) was removed from his start today in the first inning with fastball velocity a few mph lower. No word yet […]

SUNDAY UPDATE Pivotal FAAB weekend for a couple of reasons. The MLB rule capping pitchers on rosters to 13 goes into effect tomorrow which means we might see some key hitters promoted. Moreover, there were notable injuries to a few important hitters over the weekend (Mookie Betts, Yordan Alvarez, Manny Machado, Tyler O’Neill) which could […]

SUNDAY UPDATE The starting pitching landscape got considerably worse this weekend for a variety of reasons. Again, if you are questioning whether someone is a good streamer this week, chances are they probably are not.  Starting Pitchers Lance Lynn / Johnny Cueto / Michael Kopech, Chicago White Sox Lynn is back and will start Monday’s […]

With no other FAAB periods after this one, make sure you are spending every final dollar of your FAAB budget.   A few refreshers: Here is Matthew Davis’ preseason Cutline […]

SUNDAY UPDATE It’s already feeling like the dog days of summer with injuries and IL stints popping up everywhere.  One of the most important parts of your FAAB planning tonight is to account for every one of your team’s starting roster spots and make sure you have not only coverage, but back-up options. Tough to […]

SUNDAY UPDATE The big FAAB prize of the week (Nolan Gorman) had an excellent day at the plate on Sunday going 3-for-5 with three runs and an RBI. It will be difficult to earn his fantasy services for double-digits just about anywhere but it’s likely some of those will squeak through in 12-team formats. The […]

UPDATE Removed Lucas Giolito (starting Wednesday instead). Adding Brady Singer ($4,800 DK) as a core GPP play. For the 3-game early slate, top play is chalky Dylan Cease. If you don’t need the salary, consider Tyler Gilbert (Arizona) – Dodgers have struggled against lefty pitchers all season – GPP only though.  Dylan Cease + Miles […]

SUNDAY UPDATE It’s basically George Kirby Day with insane amount of FAAB projected to be spent on him. It will likely take more than $250 in most 15-teamers to get him (and possibly in 12s as well). Don’t believe his mediocre outing against the Mets will lower bid prices on him much. I still do […]

SUNDAY UPDATE So much to cover, it’s insane. If you haven’t spent a good chunk of today on FAAB stuff, you’re probably going to get outworked. The biggest news is George Kirby. He was brilliant (6 IP – 4 H – 0 ER – 0 BB – 7 K on 81 pitches) and is going […]
