Hunter Renfroe Ready to Rake
This year, things were quite different as he kicked some ass at Triple-A en route to winning MVP honours in the PCL. Renfroe scored a boatload of runs, flashed fantastic extra-base power and was ridiculously productive. He improved his contact rate and even pitched in with a few swipes.

2016 MLB Draft Recap
It’s been almost two weeks since the 2016 MLB Draft, so we figured it was high time we got off our ass and offered up a recap of the first round and what some of the Fantasy prospects are of the players taken among those first 23 picks.

2016 RotoRob Top 75 MLB Prospects, Part IV
Another newcomer to the list this year, Frazier was Cleveland’s top pick in 2013 and after improving his contact rates and flashing more speed than ever at High-A last year, he’s landed firmly on the prospect list. He has power, speed, can hit for a pretty high average and will even bunt his way on at times. Frazier has made the jump to Double-A this year and while the Georgia high school product isn’t walking as much, the rest of his numbers have remained solid — a very promising sign, indeed.

2016 RotoRob Top 75 MLB Prospects, Part III
After putting up a spectacular record between Double-A and Triple-A (with a combined sub-3.00 ERA) and again staying healthy, Blair has surged into our Top 50. This big dude has the look of a future workhorse all over him, and with his fine fastball and curveball, he’s major league ready now. Blair was looking great at Triple-A (especially since his strikeout rate bounced back), so it was no surprise he was the first starter recalled when the Braves needed help.

2016 RotoRob Top 75 MLB Prospects, Part II
Bundy slipped dramatically in this year’s rankings as 2015 was yet another season in which he barely pitched — and didn’t even win a single game. He earned a job as a reliever with the Orioles out of spring this season, but has barely pitched early on. Bundy is young enough to still have a great career, but as an injury prone, seldom-used reliever, it’s small wonder he plummeted in our rankings.

Ortiz is the fifth and final (or first, considering we’re counting down) Ranger on our Top 75 and the team’s top pick (30th overall) in 2014. He looked phenomenal at Class-A last year, but elbow woes limited him to 50 innings. Ortiz has been bumped up to High-A this season and pitched out of relief in his first outing. He’s expected to be a part of the starting rotation, which is good news for his future Fantasy value as he could top out as a No. 2 starter in time. Ortiz’s arsenal includes a low-90s heater, a nice looking slider and a changeup that needs refinement.
