Pickups of the Day for May 20th
Every Monday, fantasy managers are teetering between two emotions: Joy, because they won their prior match-up, and sadness, because they did not. To continue to boost the ego of the winners and massage the ego of the losers, I've put together a special edition of my Monday Daily Pickups. It's the "Oops, All Outfielder Eligible" edition, featuring an aging slugger, a possible 20/20 sophomore Rockie, the Blue Jays new leadoff man and a strong-side platoon, left field bat out of Seattle.

Hitting Weekly FAAB Report: May 19, 2024
I’m Daniel Rotter and I will be discussing some batters who intrigue me on the free agent market that are owned in less than 50% of 15-team TGFBI leagues. If you are in a 12-team league or just a home fantasy baseball league, these might be players to keep an eye on, but not necessarily add right now. In addition, I will suggest bid ranges for these players based on the projected impact that I see them bringing to your team.
Streamer Tidd-Bits 5/20 – 5/26
Week seven of Streamer Tidd-Bits is here, and it’s hard to believe we’re already a quarter of the way into the season. Finding, let alone streaming, starting pitching has definitely gotten much harder over the…

Risers & Fallers: Hitters Edition
Last week on risers and fallers we focused exclusively on pitchers, so this week the focus will be on hitters. There are plenty of good, young bats that are seemingly finding another level they didn’t have before or solidifying breakouts that we’ve been waiting for. On the flip side, determining the bats that are falling and struggling was tough, because there were far more than I care to admit. So let’s buckle in and get to it.
Pickups of the Day for May 17th
We've hit a stretch of the season where all the batters with swing changes and pitchers with velocity increases have been added and most of the hyped prospects have made their major league debut (with some already returning to the minors) so now we turn our attention to some alternate archetypes, including a rotation piece returning from injury, a prospect from outside the Top 100 making his debut, and two minor-leaguers who have caught the attention of evaluators recently.
Pickups of the Day for May 16th
Three pickups for today, including a couple of 80 power stash candidates with league-winning potential.
Pickups of the Day for May 14th
Lots of games today with a full sixteen games schedule, including a double-header in Chicago between the White Sox and Nationals.
Anthony’s Fantasy Baseball Week in Review
I just want to kick this off by stating the obvious: I am not Joe Orrico. So these week in review articles will feel very different, but very much the same. I'm definitely not trying to replace Joe, just fill in the gap that is now here. Each week, my goal will be to hit all 30 teams and go over fantasy relevant stats, notes, news, etc. to make it easier on you, the reader, to hopefully not miss anything vital. Some teams will get more words, some teams will get less, it all depends on what exactly happened last week.
