How about another batch of B/R's top prospect call-up radar report? 

Last week, we profiled six minor league bats who figure to be impact players one day in the big leagues. In this edition, we'll take a look at a solid mix of hitters—Clint Frazier, Dalton Pompey, Javier Baez—and pitchers—Frankie Montas, Sean Newcomb, Robert Stephenson.

Welcome to the Throwback Thursday edition of my daily fantasy baseball advice column. The theme will be focusing on players you should target to throw back in your lineup and some you should throw back onto the DraftKings salary sheet.

The debate no longer exists.

It is over. There is a clear answer by now. And it really isn’t even close enough for an argument to be had.

The National League Central is Major League Baseball’s best division, boasting three of the four best records in the game and the top three in the NL. If that trend holds up over the final six-plus weeks of the regular season, it would be historic, as no division in the wild-card era has ever housed its league’s three best records.

Given all the rocky starting pitchers competing on Thursday, a dozen active hitters are priced above $5,000 on DraftKings. All those poor hurlers inflate the cost of mid-tier options (Patrick Corbin, Collin McHugh and Jose Quintana), which will make Chris Archer and Jake Arrieta popular building blocks.

A casual baseball fan I know said the other day that this is a good season, because there are so many good teams.

Meanwhile, a favorite topic among those who follow the game a lot closer is that there just aren't many great teams.

Either way, we should be headed for some real fun over the next six-and-a-half weeks. Even with the two Central Division races basically decided, that still leaves four division crowns and four wild-card spots up for grabs. It leaves the possibility of surprise teams getting in and of big-money powerhouses getting left out.

From Johnny Cueto to David Price and Troy Tulowitzki, some of the giants of the game changed addresses at the 2015 MLB trade deadline.

For all of the clubs that orchestrated those summer splashes, the thought process was simple: improve their chances of getting into October and making a run for a World Series title. With the deadline now three weeks in the past, it's time to break out the red pen and give updated grades for the 10 biggest moves of the trade season.

Detroit Tigers pitcher Daniel Norris continues to set himself apart from the crowd.

In his fourth start since arriving in Detroit by way of the same trade that sent David Price to the Toronto Blue Jays in July, Norris hit a home run in his first major league at-bat.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are acquiring a second aging former Philadelphia Phillies superstar, and, like the first, the move has the potential to be an upgrade.

Unfortunately for St. Louis Cardinals right fielder Stephen Piscotty, Juan Perez's spidey senses were tingling Wednesday afternoon.

The San Francisco Giants center fielder made a stunning catch in the bottom of the first inning, scaling the wall at Busch Stadium to rob Piscotty of a solo home run shot.

San Diego Padres shortstop Alexi Amarista sparked a double play Wednesday that will make you do a double take. But be careful—you might experience some mild whiplash.
