NOTE: Our preseason Market Pulse column is an exercise in identifying the valuation gaps between the "popular" market (as reflected in Average Draft Position, or "ADP") and BaseballHQ.com. This is an exercise in relative valuation, not absolute. Each hitter is being considered at his scarcest qualified position (in order: C/DH, 2B, 1B, 3B, SS, OF), as it is the scarcest eligible position that typically drives fantasy value.

In 2020, we created a H2H metric that measures consistency across starting pitchers. Now, we analyze 2021 and 2022 data to determine the most consistent pitchers in baseball the past 2 years, and help guide you finding SP targets. With approximately two months in the books, it's a good time to assess which hitters are performing consistently, as well as those who are not.

Market Pulse looks at the movers each week in respective markets as we search for potential buying opportunities. The data is taken from Fantrax, which features a variety of league formats and some first-come, first-serve acquisition leagues, providing us with some insight into player movement over the past week leading up to the Sunday waiver deadline in weekly leagues. Of course, depending on the parameters of your league, further investigation of every player is strongly encouraged.

The answer key. This is the column we'd love to read if we could time travel back to March. As we put a bow on the Speculator for 2024, it's time to reflect on how things shook out (admittedly with a couple of weeks left in the season). We have answers to a number of questions posed here back in February and March. We ran some preseason columns speculating on 2024's long-shot stat leaders and first-round players, as well as an all-second-half team at the midway point.

Earlier this year, we gave out some free passes for pitchers who had one bad day at the office. We're expanding that forgiving mood with an annual exercise of handing out mulligans to those who, frankly, stunk for most (if not all) of 2024. The full hitter/pitcher lists below are ordered by NFBC Main Event ADP (15-team mixed leagues, drafting in late March) with color-coded surface stats through Sunday's games. The ones with stats in red are the focus of our mulligan gift-giving exercise.

As the calendar nears September, it's time to shift gears. We typically take a skills-based approach in this column to speculate on player adds, drops, trade opportunities, etc.; but it's time to throw that out the window. Anybody can go on a heater in September regardless of skills, and conversely, the best hitters in the game can go into month-long slumps…remember when Aaron Judge was hitting just .207 through April, for example?
