Jean Segura (SS, MIL) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~160 Overall ANALYSIS: Jean Segura had a down year in 2014, but he was injured and had gone through a terrible family tragedy. He just never got going like he had in 2013, but that is partially due to a .276 BABIP, down from .326 in 2013. The result was almost 50 fewer hits, and for somebody […]

Leonys Martin (OF, TEX) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft Target in Mid-to-Late Rounds ANALYSIS: Finding cheap SB and HR in the later rounds of your fantasy baseball drafts will help you win championships. Leonys Martin of the Texas Rangers can be that source of cheap steals, as he is currently an undervalued asset. Martin has 67 SB in the last two years, which […]

Alex Rios (OF, KC) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~120 Overall ANALYSIS: Alex Rios might not reach his career high stolen bases of 42 last year, but Rios will very likely net 30+ SB for the Royals. Ned Yost loves to run, so Rios should see plenty of opportunities. When you consider his .275 BA and 15-20 HR, you are looking at a great OF option. […]

Jay Bruce (OF, CIN) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~80 Overall ANALYSIS: Jay Bruce has been a favorite of mine for the last three years, but he really killed us last year. Bruce was just awful in 2014, and it can be attributed to injuries. Somehow, he managed to talk the Reds into allowing him back on the field 14 days after tearing his meniscus […]

Kris Bryant (3B/OF, CHC) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target as 3B1 ANALYSIS: The Chicago Cubs may choose to wait two weeks to bring up Kris Bryant, giving themselves control over their top prospect through 2021. Bryant was Baseball America’s 2014 Minor League Player of the Year after hitting .325 with 43 HR and 110 RBI. Translating that success to the big league level is hard […]

Miguel Montero: Veteran Catcher Available on the Cheap

  Better in Chicago? I understand the Chicago Cubs addition of Miguel Montero was not all about his bat. He is also an upgrade defensively over Wellington Castillo. You can read all about his ability to frame and his defensive metrics in this great piece from Fangraphs. He'll hit in the middle of the rebuilt Cubs lineup. […]

BALLER MOVE: Target as High-End 3B1 ANALYSIS: In 2014, Josh Donaldson finished in the top four in HR, RBI, R and OPS among third basemen. He posted 29 HR, 98 RBI and 93 R, but hit a lowly .255, down from .301 in 2013. His counting numbers increased from 2013 to 2014, but his rate […]
