Schuyler Dombroske: has been a Yankees fan since the early '80's, and has absolutely no remorse about the Boss spending money since he believes, that in no way guarantees any type of success by itself. Schuyler has been playing some form of fantasy baseball since 1987, switching from play-by-mail PTP board leagues to roto-style ball in around 1993. Schuyler still plays Diamond Mind (sort of 2nd generation PTP), roto, Diamond Kings, and STATS Diamond Legends on a reasonably consistent basis. Schuyler lives in Syracuse, NY with his wife, Deena, son Griffin (18), and daughter Kendall (16). Schuyler has been a financial advisor, now with Cadaret Grant, since 1995.
Lucas Giolito (SP - CWS) - Giolito was shelled for the second straight start on Wednesday, giving up 11 hits and 7 runs to the Jays over 5 innings to drop to 4-4 on the year. Giolito has only 3...
Paul Goldschmidt (1B - STL) - Goldschmidt extended his hitting streak to 18 games with his 9th HR of the year in the 4-2 win over Milwaukee on Friday. There are a few things here that are mildly disturbing though:...
Tarik Skubal (SP - DET) - Skubal was brilliant on Sunday, shutting out the O's over 6 innings while allowing just 3 singles and 2 walks with 11 strikeouts. He has now allowed 0 runs in 4 of his 7...
Christian Yelich (OF - MIL) - Yelich hit for the cycle on Wednesday, and maybe this will be the day that gets him going again. There's really quite a bit of reason for optimism if you ask me: he's only...
Jurickson Profar (2/O - SD) - Jurickson Profar, hitting cleanup for the Padres, hit his 5th homer of the season while walking twice on Wednesday against the Reds. 7 of Profar's last 8 hits have been for extra-bases as he...
Clayton Kershaw (SP - LAD) - Kershaw opened his season in the best way possible on Wednesday, throwing 7 perfect innings with 13 K's (11 on his slider) before being pulled after 80 pitches, 20 of which were swinging strikes....
Clint Frazier (OF - CHC) - I still get some post-hype prospect vibes from Clint Frazier as he enters his age-27 season, and there's still potential here. He has fantastic strike zone discipline, with chase rates of 18% and 19%...
Tommy Pham (OF - CIN) - I feel compelled to add on to Menachem's comment about the Pham signing for Cincinnati.....I'm just way too excited about it. There are so many "up arrows" here I can't even contain myself. Pham...
Jose Berrios (SP - TOR) - We have many of the top 30 SPs as slight overdrafts relative to projected value right now, but Berrios is one of the few pitchers that we feel is being slightly ignored. Our philosophy...
Lance Lynn (SP - CWS) - I'd be willing to bet that Lance Lynn is the payer we have the largest discrepancy on vs. the general public that's going in the first 100 picks. There are many reasons for this,...
C. J. Cron (1B - COL) - Cron has cooled off a bit from a crazy August (387/463/828), but he did homer again in Philly on Friday night to give him 15 in the 2nd half and 27 for the...
Jorge Polanco (2B/SS - MIN) - Polanco continued his monster second half on Monday, tallying 3 doubles and a homer in the 5-2 win over Cleveland. The 28 year old came into the game hitting 322/368/633 with 14 HR in...
Brendan Rodgers (SS - COL) - Rodgers walked, doubled, and homered to start September in Colorado's 9-5 win over the Rangers. The 25 year old hasn't been quite as good as expected with the Rockies, but he's made some huge...
Brandon Lowe (2B - TB) - Lowe had a massive day Monday, singling and hitting two homers against the Orioles in a blowout win. Lowe is up to 28 HRs on the year now, and you'd be forgiven for casting...
Nathan Eovaldi (SP - BOS) - Lost in the offensive barrage in Boston on Wednesday was a fantastic outing by Nathan Eovaldi, who struck out 10 in 7 innings while allowing just 3 hits and 1 run. There's some pretty...
Harrison Bader (OF - STL) - Bader singled in the only run for the Cards in an 8-1 loss to Minnesota on Saturday, bringing his line down to 293/354/522 through 45 games this season. He has 9 HR and 6...
Mike Minor (SP - KC) - Minor was very solid against the White Sox on Monday, allowing 2 runs on 3 hits and 2 walks over 6 innings, striking out 7 for his second straight QS. I've already seen a...
Jorge Polanco (SS - MIN) - Polanco had a great day against the White Sox Wednesday, going 3-4 with a 2B, HR, and SB in the 7-2 win. He has 4 HR and 3 SB in the past 8 games,...
Gleyber Torres (SS - NYY) - Torres homered twice and walked 3 times Saturday and Sunday against Boston as he continues to show signs that he is breaking out of his season-long slump. I understand how bad he's been this...
Chris Paddack (SP - SD) - Paddack was shelled for the 2nd time in 3 starts on Wednesday, this time allowing 9 runs (8 earned) on 9 hits to the Nationals in just 2 innings. There are some bright spots...
Shohei Ohtani (minor deity - LAA) - Ohtani only managed one hit in 5 trips to the plate on Monday, but that one was his 26th HR of the season. We were talking about him on the Fantistics Insider Baseball...
Jonathan Schoop (2B/1B - DET) - Schoop doubled and homered (his 5th in 8 games) on Wednesday, and that was after coming into the game hitting 365/422/811 for the month of June. He's frankly been terrific since mid-May, and I...
Freddie Freeman (1B - ATL) - Freeman extended his hitting streak to 6 games with a 2-4, 2 BB night against the Red Sox that included his 16th HR of the season. Freeman has had one year in his career...
Brandon Crawford (SS - SF) - Crawford was 5-12 with 2 2Bs and a HR over the weekend against the Cubs, continuing his late-career resurgence. I firmly believe that most of this is legitimate, as the new coaching staff that...
Jose Urquidy (SP - HOU) - Whatever I wrote about Urquidy 6 weeks ago, just disregard it. Whatever was wrong with him was clearly fixed on Monday, as he looked as dominant for the first 5 innings as anyone I've...
Joey Gallo (OF - TEX) - We've talked about this multiple times this month on the Fantistics Insider Baseball show, but Joey Gallo simply hasn't been the same player since his oblique injury in June of 2019. Before that you...
Matt Beaty (1B/OF - LAD) - Beaty is a must-add for me for the coming week(s) with all of the injuries the Dodgers have suffered of late. His playing time seems pretty assured for the next few weeks at least,...
Adbert Alzolay (SP - CUB) - Alzolay allowed just 2 ER for the 3rd straight start, holding the Dodgers to 3 hits and a walk with 7 K's over 5 innings of work in a 6-5 extra-inning win. Alzolay is...
Corey Kluber (SP - NYY) - Pardon me for not jumping right on the Kluber bandwagon after Sunday's masterful 8 shutout innings against the Tigers, a performance in which he allowing only 3 baserunners and struck out 10. Kluber navigated...
Danny Duffy (SP - KC) - Duffy allowed 4 singles, 2 walks, and 2 unearned runs over 6 innings on Monday, striking out 8 in his third straight strong performance. Its easy to look at the xFIP and say "random...
Alex Cobb (SP - LAA) - I'd spend a waiver claim on Cobb right now...go do it and then come back and read the rest. As Joe Maddon mentioned in the preseason, Cobb looks a lot more like the pitcher...
Joe Musgrove (SP - SD) - One player we've taken a pretty big stand on this year is Joe Musgrove, SP40 by ADP but SP29 by our rankings. I would encourage you to get on board with this for so...
NEW YORK YANKEES: The Bruce is Loose - Jay Bruce is going to be the Yankees starting 1B for essentially the month of April, and while I'm not thrilled with his skill set at this point in his career, there...
WASHINGTON NATIONALS: It's Just a Flesh Wound - It's sad that when I saw that Stephen Strasburg left Sunday's game early and then found out it was a left calf issue, I said "oh good, just a lower body injury."...
WASHINGTON NATIONALS NL MVP? - I've said this on the air twice so far this year so I might as well say it here as well: in points leagues, Juan Soto is my #1 pick for 2021. He is elite...
Freddie Freeman (1B - ATL) - Possible NL MVP Freddie Freeman didn't start on Friday, yet still managed to win the game for the Braves with a walk-off 2-run blast in the 11th against the Red Sox. The homer was...
