What Appears In This Article? hideWe're down to the final two weeks of the fantasy baseball season. If your standings are close (or you're in the playoffs of a H2H league), any decision could make or break your year. You should do your homework for the best chance at success, but don't beat yourself up if things go awry. Remember, fantasy baseball is supposed to be fun. Your waiver wire probably looks bleak, especially if you focus on surface stats.

What Appears In This Article? hideHave you heard? A dominant college pitcher was taken in the 2023 Draft's first round. Scouts loved his stuff and control, and he was expected to advance quickly. He debuted in the NL Central this season, and his career is off to a solid start with an ERA of 0.87. That sounds like we're talking about Paul Skenes, but we're not. Rhett Lowder was taken seventh overall and would have much more prospect buzz if Skenes wasn't in the same class.

What Appears In This Article? hideThe calendar flipped to September, so it's crunch time in fantasy baseball. Choosing the wrong stream or rostering an unproductive player could make the difference between winning or losing your league. If you need a bat, Kyle Manzardo possesses solid skills for the stretch run. However, he may be the wrong fit depending on your needs. David Peterson's numbers look appealing, but a closer look suggests you're playing with fire if you start him.

What Appears In This Article? hideWhy do people love lists so much? MLB.com ranks the top 30 prospects in every organization plus an overall top 100, making it sound like everyone is a huge prospect. Most prospect lists are also agnostic of time, making it difficult to know if someone is expected to be great right away or struggle for a few years. The recent Connor Norby trade illustrates this. Norby was ranked as the No.3 prospect in Miami's system post-trade, suggesting a solid prospect pedigree.
