BOLD! - A Fantasy Baseball Second-Half Predictions Thread
Calling All RotoBallers! The MLB All-Star break has come to pass, which means it's time again to make some BOLD! fantasy baseball predictions for the second half of the season.

Top 20 Catchers (C) - Rankings, Tiers and Projections
I realize that Catcher is probably the least exciting position in Fantasy Baseball. It's not sexy at all, but the position is still important and should not be overlooked. As recently as three years ago, the position lacked depth and a heavy emphasis was placed on drafting an elite catcher early. Considering there were very... Read More
