MILB, MLB and Fantasy Baseball
Rookie Debuts, SP’s, Cal Raleigh and The Butler
With an advanced plate approach, tremendous bat speed, legit power, solid speed and good defense Roman Anthony offers a pretty complete package.
Starting Pitchers
Currently 16 Starting Pitchers have quality starts in at least 50% of their games, 9+ K/9, below 3 BB/9, and have started at least 8 games. Let’s take a look at this list of top arms.
Fantasy Baseball Rundown May 2
Players that stand out in Fantasy Baseball over recent days include Roki Sasaki, Teoscar Hernandez, Cal Raleigh, George Kirby, Jorge Polanco, Nick Kurtz, Jose Ramirez, the Padres rotation, the DBacks pen, and much more!
Off To A Slow Start - Hitters
We are closing in on the end of April, which is a good time to take a look at MLB Hitters off to slow start. Should we buy low, hold, or move on from players like Willy Adames, Dylan Crews, Cody Bellinger, Ezequiel Tovar, Adley Rutschman and many others?
Mining The MLB Leaderboard - Pitchers
Most likely to finish with a WHIP below 1.00: Logan Gilbert, Paul Skenes, Garrett Crochet, Cole Ragans, and let’s include Tarik Skubal even though he currently sits at a 1.01 WHIP.
Opening Weekend 2025
Back with a rundown of MLB Opening Weekend standouts and recommendations for your Fantasy Baseball teams!
Baseball is Back!
A basket full of observations from someone who watched way too much baseball on Opening Day!
2025 Fantasy Baseball Starting Pitcher Preview: Targets, Fades and Prospects
“The Cardinals will have opportunities in their rotation and after breezing through the minors last year Quinn should see at least 15 big league starts this year. It’s a reasonable cost at ADP 408 and he often goes in the mid 450’s.”
2025 Fantasy Baseball Outfield Preview: Targets, Fades and Prospects
This is a “grab him when he fits your teams needs” recommendation on Dylan Crews. Specifically, an OF with wheels and enough power to have a 20/30 (maybe 40?!?) season in the realm of outcomes. Steamer: .246/76/17/64/25
2025 Fantasy Baseball Outfield Preview: Top 24
Grabbing Jackson Chourio is banking on the athleticism while expecting further development given his age and progression. Could this be Acuna-esque where the Braves star dropped a sophomore slash of .280/127/41/101/37?!?
2025 Fantasy Baseball Third Base Preview: JRam, Jazz, Junior, Burger, Shaw and More
Jose Ramirez is easily the top 3B once again. That’s what a career 162 game average of .279/100/28/96/27 will do for you. Yep, you read that correctly. Since debuting in 2013 JRam has nearly a 30/30 AVERAGE across his career!
2025 Shortstop Preview: Top 10, Targets, Avoids, Prospects
What Shohei Ohtani did last year is probably the best fantasy baseball season since we have had fantasy baseball. So, how can Bobby Witt Jr. rank over Shohei?
2025 Second Base Preview: Altuve, Albies, McLain, Garcia Jr, and Turang
Second base likely won’t be a position of high end production for many of us in 2025. So, we have to ask what we want to accomplish with the position from a team construction standpoint. And how much should we pay for that?
2025 First Base Preview: Vladdy, Harper, Freddie, Walker and Vinnie
From a value and draft strategy standpoint I prefer Christian Walker at ADP 102 over the top 5 first basemen on this list. In fact, Walker’s Steamer projections are quite similar to Pete Alonso’s despite Walker going 5 rounds later.
2025 Catcher Preview: Contreras Bros., Raleigh, Rutschman, Moreno and More
There aren’t many catchers that offer Cal Raleigh’s lift in plate appearances and the added value can be significant. If I miss William Contreras with my 3rd round pick I have targeted Raleigh with a 7th rounder. The big difference between the two players is batting average and that creates the separation.
Early Fantasy Baseball Drafts Part 2: Matt Shaw, Sanchez, Steals, Saves, and SP’s
Currently Steamer projects Matt Shaw for 14/53/53/14 .250 over 452 PA’s. If Shaw makes the Cubs out of spring training, which is very possible, he will exceed the counting stats…
Early Fantasy Baseball Drafts: Ohtani, Witt Jr., Judge, Skenes and More
Bobby Witt Jr., Shohei Ohtani, Jose Ramirez, Aaron Judge, Paul Skenes, Kyle Tucker, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Jackson Chourio, Jackson Merrill, Corbin Burnes, Luis Castillo, Wyatt Langford, James Wood, Lawrence Butler, Dylan Crews, Closers and much more in this early look at 2025 NFBC Drafts.
Briceno, De Vries & More - AFL Prospect Notes Oct 26 2024
Josue Briceno is THAT GUY this year. The one who is just carving up AFL pitching like they were putting it on a tee for him. What did yesterday bring? More of the same.
Top Prospects - 2024 Arizona Fall League
A look at many of the key prospects and future big leaguer’s playing in the 2024 Arizona Fall League. Ethan Salas, Xavier Isaac, Moises Ballesteros, Joe Caglianone and so many more!
Trade Deadline, Soto Trade, Josh Smith, Rooker, Quinn and Seymour
Brent Rooker is a name that we should see moved at the deadline and he will likely bring a haul back to the Athletics. Rooker makes no bones about it, he goes up to the plate trying to do damage - and he has been doing just that. Rooker’s Statcast page shows elite rankings in all the places that make baseballs go really far really fast.
