With the off-season upon us, your league is likely facing change considerations, be it new ownership or rules. And if you haven't begun considering these already, a refresher on some starting points...
Unheralded Brad Hand (who??) was one of seven RPs that posted 100+ Ks and a sub-3 ERA in 2016. We analyzed the strikeout surge and more takeaways from the recent season.
Sonny Gray's injury-plagued lost season was one of many rotation disappointments, in an MLB season that also saw another big HR surge. Our immediate 2016 takeaways for KL owners seeking a jump on the off-season.
Out of baseball last year, Andrew Toles' broad skill set propelled him through four professional levels in 2016. He's just one of several NL year-end surgers you should be familiar with.
Nick Franklin has just 164 AB to date. But his age, one-time prospect status and 2H finish puts him at the top of our under-the-radar value list for 2017, as our Keeper League columns begin.
A 4.39 ERA from their SPs will likely make rotation first and foremost in the Astros off-season thoughts and plans. Ditto for LAA and TEX; notes from around the AL West.
Andrew Bailey is suddenly saving games again, but how long does this last? The beginning of SEA's 2017 auditions, a scrambled OAK rotation outlook, and more...
Mike Zunino's recent struggles have us watching to see what he does next. Some final month rotation speculations down the stretch in OAK, TEX and more.
Travis Jankowski has swiped 28 bags in limited play, but should his fantasy owners be worried about the September arrival of CF Manuel Margot in SD? We ponder a crowded Padres OF and other NL September playing time scenarios.
Sam Dyson's struggles could present an opportunity for the rest of a strong Ranger pen. Huston Street may be out for the season in Anaheim, Ryon Healy's PT looks secure in OAK, and more.
In the third of our four walks down BaseballHQ.com memory lane this week, we link to some articles from 2006-2010. Joey Gathright and shortstop—yes, shortstop—Trevor Plouffe both make an appearance.
