Crossed Up: Infield Prospects on the Rise
In the redraft world, many fantasy managers are in the heart of draft season, drafting their little hearts out. However, in the dynasty world, the 2023 season began as soon as the 2022 season ended.

The Idiot’s Guide to In-Season Fantasy Baseball Management: Part 1

2023 NFBC Positional Tiers – Catchers/Utility-Only Players
MARCH 7th UPDATE I’ve moved Adley Rutschman down below Will Smith and have generally not been drafting him unless he falls a round past ADP and I’m in the market for a catcher. Feels like he’ll be a better real-life player than fantasy one this season. I’ll happily draft Willson Contreras at or before his […]

Gut Feelings: KDS Optimization and Target Mapping

Extreme Fantasy Baseball Draft Strategies: Pitcher-Heavy Approach

I do still like Lindor most of this trio. Jazz Chisholm Jr. is steaming his way […]
