Fantasy baseball: Bubba Chandler and other prospects on the rise

Chandler is arguably the top pitching prospect in the sport after striking out 148 hitters over 119 2/3 innings at two minor league stops last season, posting a 3.08 ERA and a 1.01 WHIP.

Each week in MLB is its own story -- full of surprises, both positive and negative -- and fantasy managers must decide what to believe and what not to believe moving forward. Perhaps we can help. If any of these thoughts come true... don't be surprised!Washington Nationals OF James Wood was supposed to emerge as a terrific fantasy option this season, his first full campaign in the major leagues. This is why he was a top-50 pick in more than 1,500 preseason NFBC drafts (a roto/categories format).

Fantasy baseball bullpen stock watch: Surprise closer in Texas

2 weeks ago | espn.com | Eric Karabell

Who else in the Texas bullpen was viable? Well, everyone overlooked RHP Luke Jackson -- everyone, that is, except for Bochy.
