REL baseball logo newDude, it's September already?! This season has absolutely flown by... Talk about your cliche open! We say this every year, and I think I said this in a similar open... I'm at a lack of creativity during the grind! With rosters expanding today, it should be a fun final 2-and-a-half-weeks of stashing as the non-competitors head into the offseason. For the races though - the AL is looking like it's going to be a brutal finish! The Tribe take a 1.5 point lead this morning, after being tied with the Blue Jays yesterday. TIED at this point of the season! Out of control... Unfortunately the NL is less intriguing, with the Cubs continuing to make a little bit of noise, but not enough to really challenge the Nats. Here's how week 22 went down in the 2016 REL League:

Today's nighttime DraftKings slate consists of a whopping three games. Three games times two starting pitchers per game gets you... I'll wait while you type that into your phone calculator app. Ok, got it? Six! We have six starting pitchers to choose from in the main evening slate. Sure, there aren't that many position players to choose from, but at least you only need one at every position but outfielder, and really, the pitchers are going to determine who has a successful day and who doesn't. I will be suggesting my go-to starters, and of course you should follow my directions, but if you don't want to follow me, at least think long and hard about your arms. They'll determine whether you have a chance of swimming amidst high ownership, or if you'll just sink. New to DraftKings? Scared of feeling like a small fish in a big pond?

As we always do about this time!  *beat drops, Grey does the worm, Grey’s iPhone alarm goes off, time to put more money in the meter*  Damn, how long was I worming for?  September 1st hits and teams expand their rosters to the Four-Oh.  Now pour some extra bullpen guys out for all the dead moments between pitcher changes.  So, what does this mean for all of us, fantasy baseballers (<–my mom’s term!)?  It means call-ups and rookie nookie is aplenty.  Aplenty, I tell ya!  By the by, for big boned people, rather than an X-Large t-shirt, they should call them aplen-Tees.  Yeah, I just made the English language better.  High-five yourself for even knowing to read me.  *Grey worms, alarm goes off*  Damn, I need to get more coins.  At this point in the year, you need guys that are getting everyday playing time, so I’m pumped up the jam on rookie nookie, but if a guy isn't playing every day, he's as good as dirt in redraft leagues, and I don't have a Soil category, do you?  It’s a most exciting time to be alive and be fantasy balling, but don’t lose sight of the real goal here:  to get quality at-bats from guys that are playing, not to pick up a guy that will be great in 2017.  (Unless you’re in a keeper league; then, by all means, knock yourself out!  Not literally!  Ouch.)  Which bring us to Yoan Mocada.  Red Sox manager, John Farrell, says Moncada's promotion is eminent.  They have a bobblehead giveaway planned, a kid's jersey giveaway, a 'Yoan yawn coverer' which is really just a foam hand, a--*intern whispers in my ear*  Seems I was misusing 'promotion.'  I already gave you my Yoan Moncada fantasy.  He'll be up on Friday.  He should be owned everywhere and will play 3rd base.  No Gas Face there.  Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
