First Base 2026 top 10 for Points Leagues

Now that I’ve been able to have the time to work on bigger projects and dig deeper analytically, I do have new ideas and concepts to share. Over the past month I’ve really gotten into the idea of building ranges of outcomes for every hitter and pitcher, then putting together histograms for players that I’ve […]

Off-Season Plans

I have been working hard to get my projections fine-tuned to where they are ready to go and I can incorporate them into my rankings while the season is still fresh in my mind. I must say that the hitting projections I have are pretty much already done and exactly where I want them. The […]

2026 Keepers, part 3

As promised, it’s time to talk about the best keeper options I have at starting pitcher. The options include Shane Bieber, Kyle Bradish, Cam Schlittler, Cade Horton, Merrill Kelly, Ryne Nelson, and Trevor Rogers. In an ideal world I would keep all of them as one point keepers, but I can’t justifiably do such a […]

2026 Keepers, part 2

Today I just want to give some initial thoughts and an overview of my 2026 draft strategy for points leagues. I remember early in this season when I talked about something similar, but I’ve learned so much this season that my draft strategy has completely changed. I also must admit that it’s kind of shocking […]

Keeper Options Deep Dive

Today will be somewhat of a continuation of my last article, as I felt really good about the content and structure of that last one. I want to talk about a few new players today in a similar context, with a bit of an added difference as well. The two I want to focus on […]

Points Leagues Breakout Hitters

Today I want to talk about the most underrated hitters in points league based on my metric and rankings based on that. These are players who are widely available and viewed as deep league targets, but my metric shows they should be owned even in 10 team points leagues. That’s widely viewed as the shallowest […]

Is Troy Melton a Potential Ace?

This week I want to discuss a few players in the big picture context of fantasy baseball, and I want to start with Troy Melton, a right-handed pitching prospect for the Detroit Tigers. In a points league, when structuring your team it’s all about having a consistent hitting lineup and mostly filling your bench with […]

No Shortage at Catcher in 2025

This week I want to focus on the catcher position and the way it’s changed this season. There have been so many good options that have emerged at the position that there is plenty to go around in one catcher leagues, but the one I’m most excited about isn’t even 50% rostered in CBS leagues, […]
