  • • Rolling In The Deep: Be Leury Of Late-Season Free Agent Options
    Last week here at RITD, we talked a bit about a few low-ownership National League hitters who'd had a great month or so in terms of fantasy stats, and how that might impact their value for what's left of this season as well as 2022.  This week we'll do the same with a few AL hitters, though as I peruse the numbers it's immediately clear that there are not as many hidden gems at the top of the lead...2021

Junior Circuit injury and suspension

  • • Still no timetable for Francisco Lindor's return
    There’s no timetable on Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor’s return, writes Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon-Journal. The 25-year-old three-time All-Star will reportedly get a second opinion on his “mild-to-moderate[ly]” sprained left ankle Monday in Green Bay, Wisconsin, as the Cleveland brass trips over itself to ensure the superstar’s stint on the injured list doesn’t linger.  Touted prospect Yu ...2019

  • • American Leaguers with something to prove in 2017
    The American League is, by and large, an even playing field this season across all divisions, with no absolute, runaway favorite among its ranks. This opens it up to be a league that can be won by riding the hot hand or a free agent striving for the career year, or even a resurgent return from injury candidate. Despite the well-earned reputation of being an offensive-driven league, many of the pla...2017

    The American League standings are beautiful right now. Or ugly. Depends on your constitution, I suppose. We're currently about three-quarters of the way through the regular season and, while the National League is fairly stratified, things are gloriously unsettled over in the Junior Circuit.
