Jon Villar's SB surge following his trade to scoring-challenged BAL was a reminder of organizational importance, particularly as SBs continue to stagnate. We conclude our look back at 2018 with a focus on offense.
Ryan Yarbrough was the unlikely poster-boy for the upside of "bullpenning", a newly-emerging tactic from the season that just ended. To assist owners in already preparing for 2019, we look back at the 2018 trends and what we might anticipate.
Tyler White was one of several unexpected performances for the only AL West club with an MLB-ready talent glut. We look at Houston's potential 2019 contributors, along with some final questions confronting the other AL West clubs.
Even beyond the near-certain departure of long-time Mgr Mike Scioscia, LAA seems to have more questions than their divisional competitors. We examine the off-season outlooks for all the AL West clubs.

Jose Leclerc's dominance was never in question—and suddenly his control isn't an issue as he takes over the ninth inning in TEX. Brian McCann's imminent return to HOU, LAA's infield auditions, Dustin Fowler and more...
Dee Gordon's struggles suggest another SEA hitter who could lose AB with Robinson Cano's return. We look at surging Tyler White's role in a banged-up and anemic HOU offense, a possible 2019 closer audition in Anaheim, and more...
Kris Bryant's (pictured) return ETA from the DL and shoulder inflammation is still murky, but David Bote is filling in quite nicely. We look at the pend PIT middle infield rebuild, STL's catching prospect glut and more.
Lance McCullers's strained forearm is just part of an injury run creating playing time opportunities over the final seven weeks in HOU. The current OAK rotation projection, the latest Robinson Cano playing time outlook, and more...
Cole Hamels's departure to CHC could leave the Rangers rotation in competition with CHW for the AL's worst. We check in on Tony Kemp's outlook in a banged-up HOU offense, an outfield prospect/sleeper in OAK, and more...
