Read moreThe Next Generation: 4 Young MLB Prospects Who Will Make an Impact in 2016
The 2016 MLB season is officially underway. All of the work teams put in during the offseason and in spring training is now put to the test through a grueling 162-game schedule. Every year, many major sporting news outlets publish their opinions on who the top prospects are for the season. These prospects have the potential to make huge impacts on MLB rosters during the season. However, prospects can also turn out to be flops. Today, I want to focus on a few prospects who might make a significant impact for their teams in 2016.
Read morePredicting the Studs and Duds of the 2016 NFL Draft
Since we are less than a week away from the draft (which will be televised on ESPN Thursday April 28th), I want my predictions for each selection in the top ten on record. To clarify, I am basing these predictions based on what I think other teams will do rather than what I personally would do. Moreover, I think it would be boring for there to only be predictions for the top selections. So, I am also going to project whether each player will be a “stud” or a “dud” over the course of his career. Hopefully no one will look back at this when one of my duds becomes a Hall of Famer.

On Tuesday, the Tampa Bay Rays made a historic trip to Havana to play an exhibition game against the Cuban National Baseball Team. The game was the grand finale of a short trip during which President Obama met with Raúl Castro and talked about re-involving the United States in Cuban affairs. The Tampa Bay Rays were just the 2nd team in 60 years to play a game in Cuba, and the first to do so since the Baltimore Orioles played in Havana in March of 1999.
Read moreMarch Madness 2016: Six Teams That Could Bust Your Bracket
Contrary to past seasons, the 2016 college basketball regular season was largely defined by a lack of consistency among the top teams. But with March Madness about to begin, three clear favorites have emerged. The NCAA Championship betting line at TopBet favors Kansas, with North Carolina and Michigan State close behind.

Some argue that March is the most exciting month in sports. I suppose it may be because aside from Super Bowl Sunday, February is such an unbearably slow month in sports. But obviously, the main reason people love March is because of the NCAA Men’s Basketball tournament, which tips-off in less than two weeks.
