Shortstop is the deepest position in fantasy sports. 1. Trevor Story SS (COL) Trevor Story proved his 2018 breakout was no fluke with 35 home runs, 23 steals, and a .294/.363/.554 slash line in 2019. Like many Colorado hitters, he faired much better at home with a .328 average in Coors and a .260 average on the…
It’s been nearly eight months since we watched the Washington Nationals win the World Series. With many fantasy players putting redraft leagues in the rearview mirror, dynasty leagues will reign supreme until next season. There’s so much focus on young players, the new draftees, and players in their prime. What about the aging ones who…
Given the Greek tragedy that is Major League Baseball right now, I needed to do something for me. And the recent volume of baseball card chatter on the Twitter airwaves encouraged me to spend a whopping $12 on three packs this past weekend. Call it FOMO, call it peer pressure, call it the deliriousness brought…

Whereas J.T. Realmuto and Cody Bellinger are the undisputed top options at catcher and first base, the keystone lacks similar clarity. Ozzie Albies, Gleyber Torres, Ketel Marte, and Jose Altuve are all being drafted within six picks of each other per recent NFBC ADP data. There’s also Keston Hiura just a few picks after that…
First base is a top-heavy group. There are guys with legitimate sleeper appeal, but in general it’s not palatable to wait when it comes to this position. 1. Cody Bellinger 1B,CF,RF (LAD) Cody Bellinger overcame a sophomore slump with a .305/.406/.629 slash line, 47 home runs, and 15 stolen bases en route to becoming one of the…
I have decreed that the launching of RotoRanks will coincide with some Tim Anderson propaganda. After all, Anderson is the type of player I enjoy drafting most in fantasy baseball. He is a 20/20 threat, a player who offers both power and speed. Anderson gave us 20 homers and 26 steals in 2018, and nearly…

Welcome to the kickers of fantasy baseball, ladies and gentlemen. In truth, though, there’s a solid enough top 20 at this position heading into the fantasy baseball season. 1. J.T. Realmuto C (PHI) Realmuto is as close as a five-category asset as you’ll find in the catcher ranks. You’ll need to pay a premium price, but he’s…
