Thomas Jefferson once said "Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom". This is a lesson the 2017 Detroit Tigers took to heart. They knew their window was honestly closing, and sold off aging stars, and spare parts for something Detroit has lacked for a long time, organizational depth. Over the past two drafts and the 2017 trade deadline (both of them), the Tigers added seven of the top ten players on the list below. They've focused heavily on adding arms with front of the rotation upsides, and have succeeded for the most part, plucking a handful of exciting pitching talents. The positional side of things is a little thinner, but there's a small collection of bats with some serious fantasy allure. With the top pick in the upcoming 2018 MLB draft there's a good chance the Tigers add a couple of impact players before this time next year. The future is bright in the Motor City, with a majority of their top talents years away, this could be a system on the ri

Third base is still a problem, who will be in the starting rotation and the Marlins are listening on offers for two young stars.

If you missed our other roundtable posts you can find those here and here . Bowman Inbox: Who will Braves target next offseason? Despite an abundance of arms advancing towards the majors, MLB.com’s Mark Bowman writes that there is still reason to believe that the Braves will pursue a top-of-the-rotation arm before the start of the 2019 season.

Third base in Atlanta has seen some of the greatest players ever, but the Braves are still searching for stability at the hot corner. The Atlanta Braves have been to the bottom, have stripped their team to its core of Freddie Freeman and Julio Teheran , and bet their entire future on their farm system. A farm system that, even after suffering loss of players after the IFA sanctions handed down by Major League Baseball, is thriving and is still overflowing with talent. The Braves are nearing the end of this long and rocky rebuild as the future stands on the forefront in Atlanta with players like Ozzie Albies , Ronald Acuna, Luiz Gohara and many more ready to push the team back into contention. Now, Braves fans have been spoiled in the past with the team winning and even making the playoffs for an unprecedented 14 straight seasons from 1991 to 2005 so this new territory of losing seasons has been hard. Something Braves fans are even more accustomed to is good play from their third

It has been a slow off-season. Weekend Rumblings - News for December 30, 2017 Rustin Dodd writes about the slow off-season and the impact on the Royals. Hosmer still appears to have interest from the San Diego Padres, though recent reports that the club was prepared to offer a six-year, $120 million contract were based on incorrect interpretations of earlier reports from ESPN’s Buster Olney. For now, the market has been so slow that even idle chatter from the winter meetings can be dissected and ground to a nub. In some ways, of course, the slow nature of the offseason could buoy the Royals’ hopes to re-sign Hosmer. Two years ago, the club waited out free agent Alex Gordon and came to terms with him in early January. Yet the current offseason offers some uncertainty. The latest on Eric Hosmer. For those worried the Padres are taking shortcuts again: They could head to spring training without signing a starting pitcher to a major league deal. They would very much like to sign

The fellas chime in for the final week of the NFL regular season. If I was allowed a tagline for Week 17 it would be “comedy of errors.” The last week of the regular season feels like a preseason dress rehearsal, as many teams are electing to get a closer look at their backup quarterbacks. Others, like the Steelers , are being coy about their plans. Add it all up, and navigating the Week 17 waters is an exercise in information overload. The more you know about playing time this week, the better off you will be. In theory. Major shouts are in order for Paddi Cooper, who leads our pack in winning percentage by a large margin. Also, shouts to the three of us who crested the 60% threshold after last week’s dominance, putting a whopping six of us over that mark for the season (joining Paddi, Ghoji, and Pete). Here are the updated standings: That is one fantastic percentage by Paddi. May we all emulate his awesomeness in the future. Unanimous picks for this week: WAS, NE, SEA, NO, B

Here are a bunch of players you should add to your fantasy team before the New Year. Happy Holidays! Here are some players that may be available on your fantasy basketball league’s waiver wire or as a trade target: Wayne Ellington (6.3% owned in ESPN fantasy basketball leagues) Mr. Ellington, of the Miami Heat , is 9th in the entire NBA in 3PM this season (2.9 3PM per game); he’s 7th over the past 30 days (3.3). He’s in the top 25 in true shooting percentage in the whole league. Ellington has a 2.59 player rating on ESPN basic for the season, which is good for 135th overall ( Jaylen Brown , 80.4% owned, is 134th, and Andrew Wiggins , 96.1% owned, is 144th). He has a 3.65 PR over the last month, which is good for 100th best ( Austin Rivers is 99th and 42% owned; Carmelo Anthony, 98.4% ownership, and Ricky Rubio, 72.5%, are 125th and 126th, respectively).

by Eric Stashin (aka The Rotoprofessor) We’ve long heard the hype about the Pirates’ Tyler Glasnow, but he hasn’t been able to take that talent and have it translate to success in the Majors.  Everyone always points to his control as the reason for his struggles, and while that’s part of the issue it takes more to bring in a 7.69 ERA over 62.0 IP in the Majors: 13 K/9 6.39 BB/9 1.89 HR/9 .358 BABIP 7% strand rate Obviously part of the issue was luck based, especially considering his 20.6% line drive rate.  All he’d have to do is maintain that rate and we should see improved numbers in both his BABIP and strand rate.  The other issues, though?   Strikeouts His history tells one story, including a 13.50 K/9 at Triple-A last season.  However his 8.2% SwStr% and 25.0% O-Swing% support the rather pedestrian mark that he posted in ’17.  Those numbers would make us question his actual stuff, though there was a clear change in pitch selection from his first taste in the Majors to l
