6 Under-Owned Players Ready to Break Out in 2019

4/18/2019 by Josh Rohrer   Howdy folks, it's good to be back after a long (looong) absence from fantasy writing! We are approximately three weeks into the 2019 baseball season, though it already feels like we've watched four months worth of injuries (especially if you're a fellow Yankee fan). This has prompted me to try...

Moneyballers: 3 Bats Probably Sitting on your Wire, plus 4 Streamers to Start and Avoid

Tuesday, May 15, 2018 by Josh Rohrer What's up, fantasy baseballers? Today I'm diving into the stats behind three bats that could provide value to your lineup in the under 30% ownership group. In addition, I'll be identifying key streaming matchups with pitchers that are traps rather than the solid streamers they appear, while also...

Player Analysis: Hot Takes on Luis Castillo’s Night and Future Outlook

May 3rd, 2018 By Josh Rohrer I am that guy who starts all of his pitchers all the time. Call me old fashioned (read: thin justification for doing something stupid), but if I'm rostering someone I am starting them, unless it's Sunday and I'm in a heated ERA/WHIP battle. Even then, I'm still probably gonna...

4 Players to Buy/Sell and Trade Recommendations

Happy Wednesday, baseball fans. Two things on the agenda today: identifying four players to buy/sell (two pitchers and two hitters), followed by a craft beer review, this one out of Connecticut's own Two Roads Brewing Co. Each player I breakdown in buy/sell will also come with a recommendation for players to shoot for in a...

To Add or to Drop? Four Waiver Wire Bargains and How to Decide When to Drop a Draft Pick

Today marks the midway point of the third week of this young fantasy baseball season. How's your team doing? Are you freaking out yet? You shouldn't be. Unless it's a happy freak-out. Still, it can be hard to see your team start in the loss column. It's hard to see a bunch of DL10's next to...

Prospects and Pitchers: The Inaugural Edition

Some of you may remember Adi and his contributions he made to Baseball and Brews last season, and I'm please to now introduce him as a permanent staff writer for Baseball and Brews. Part of Adi's contribution moving forward will be a weekly Friday piece on Prospects and Pitchers to help everyone keep an eye on...

Baseball & Brews’s (insert adjective here) Superlative Predictions for 2018

Not another one of these prediction posts! Well, kinda. But this one focuses a little more on the fun and the wonky rather than just the usual stuff. Bold? Silly? Terrible? Moderately-accurate? Statistically irrelevant? Statistically irreverent? My (insert adjective here) predictions for the 2018 MLB season are here, and these hot takes will, if nothing else, give you something to read on the toilet at work. You're welcome.

Slow Starters: 8 Early Trade Targets, Trade Bait, and Players to be Patient With

It's almost Opening Day. I AM SO EXCITED ARE YOU EXCITED???? All that energy is as contagious as herpes in a freshman dorm, and sometimes we have to remind ourselves to slow down and not push the panic button in the early going. Sometimes, however, that panic is warranted, and in addition to helping you...

Player Analysis: A Deep Dive into Jonathan Villar’s 2018 Outlook

I've been intrigued by Villar since the beginning. As a baseball fan and a fantasy owner, how can you not be? He's a speedy shortstop with power, and the lure of a 20/20 season is in his profile. Jonathan Villar went from 2016 fantasy darling to a waste of an early 2017 draft pick, with...

Draft Strategy: Two Players from Each Position to Target

It's draft season, and the decisions you make in those anxiety-filled, 60-second windows can and will affect the rest of your season. While no one can predict how their draft will go, having a solid list of names and targets can reduce decision-making time and give you an edge on draft day. Today I'm going...
