Fantasy Baseball 2016: Early-Season Buy-Low, Sell-High Trade Advice

Two weeks is too soon to panic. At least that's what worried fantasy baseball managers tucked down the standings will try to remember before blowtorching their rosters.

It's human nature to fret when things go poorly. When a lineup that seemed perfect before Opening Day can't buy a hit, even an experienced player will get antsy. The savvy gamer, however, will ultimately stay calm and instead test his or her peers' nerves.

Story Breaks Record for Most Home Runs Through 13 Career Games

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story smacked yet another home run during Monday's 5-1 win over the Cincinnati Reds, giving him an MLB-record eight homers through the first 13 games of his career, per Elias Sports Bureau (via ESPN Stats & Info). 

Noah Syndergaard's Pitch Left an Imprint of Necklace on Catcher's Chest


Noah Syndergaard can throw really hard. Just ask his catcher.

The New York Mets pitcher dropped the hammer of Thor during the team's 5-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday, dealing a pitch with enough force to leave a mark on catcher Kevin Plawecki, who had to block it with his chest protector.

Patience or Panic on 10 Early-Season 2016 MLB Concerns

It's a really small sample size, so there's no reason to panic.

That's something you hear time and again in the early stages of every MLB season, and more times than not it's correct.

When you're talking about a 162-game season that spans seven months, a few weeks don't add up to much in the grand scheme of things.

However, it's easy to overreact early on now that the games finally matter and fans around the league are hyped for the season.

Trades MLB Teams Should Already Be Thinking About for 2016

Though they're rare, trades in the first few weeks of an MLB season do occasionally take place. We need only look back to last season for evidence, as Atlanta traded All-Star closer Craig Kimbrel to San Diego just a few games after Opening Day.

Cubs' Dynamic Offense Going Strong Despite the Loss of Kyle Schwarber

When Chicago Cubs slugger Kyle Schwarber tore his ACL and LCL on April 7 after colliding in the outfield with Dexter Fowler, it wouldn’t have been a surprise if a few fans reached for a defibrillator.

Hysteria consumed parts of a tortured Cubdom on social media, with some fans panicked that the promising Cubs’ 2016 season was trashed. But that was just an overly emotional reaction.

Oakland A's Ball Boy Snags Foul Ball with Unbelievable Catch


You see a foul ball, he sees a tryout opportunity.

For the Oakland A's ball boy, opportunity came knocking in the third inning, when the Kansas City Royals' Christian Colon sliced a foul ball to the right side.

Springing easily from one leg, the young man casually plucked the ball out of the air, securing the errant hit before tossing it to a nearby fan—all while maintaining an understated confidence.

MLB Power Rankings: Where All 30 Teams Stand After Week 2

Two weeks are now in the books here in the 2016 MLB season, and already there has been no shortage of excitement and intrigue around the league.

That being said, we are dealing with an incredibly small sample size at this point, so it's important not to put too much stock in the early returns—both good and bad.

That's especially true with our weekly power rankings, as this exercise is not meant to simply be a mirror of the current standings.

Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire: Top 10 Pickups for Week 3

Two weeks into 2016's MLB season, fantasy baseball managers will struggle to resist adding players with deceivingly gaudy stat lines.

Eduardo Nunez won't compete for a batting title, and Mat Latos won't win every start with a sub-1.00 ERA. These sample sizes will quickly change with little notice, and it's up to fantasy players to sniff out the fluky starts from the telling successes.
