IT’S $10/MONTH.) Max Meyer has got *palms out, fanning them out in the shape of a rainbow* flash, kid! He's got a 11+ K/9 in the minors and pinpoint control! Max Meyer has got *palms out, fanning them out in the shape of a rainbow* pizzazz, kid! He's only six-feet-tall, but he's got the heart of a gorilla that just took one in the keister for a little kid! Max Meyer *palms out, fanning them out in the shape of a rainbow* is the future, kid! He's got only two pitches, but, boy, do they sing! Like Ethel Merman in a too-tight brassiere! Max Meyer is *palms out, fanning them out in the shape of a rainbow* stuck behind Elieser Hernandez? C'mon, anyone believe Max Meyer can't get out from under that cloud of mediocre? He will be called up any day now and, when he is, he could be as good as the Marlins' 2nd best pitcher, and, for those slow on the uptake, the Marlins have four great pitchers. If you missed out on George Kirby, then Max Meyer is your man. He's got panache, and I'm not just saying that because I'm pretending to be his agent in 1950. Fix him up with a dame for photos! No one likes a bachelor, see! They wanna imagine themselves with him! In Prospect Itch's top 25 starting pitcher prospects, Meyer's been said to have a shot at being an ace-level asset. See, he's got zing! Also, Prospect Hobbs just gave you his Max Meyer fantasy. We are full-court pressing Meyer, and that's no bologna!

Getting Ahead In Head To Head for Week 6; Hope Springs Eternal

May 13, 2022 | 2022 Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Baseball Head-to-Head Leagues | 4 Comments

by:

Life was grand!  There we all were, chit-chatting/arguing, about who should be drafted when, and why.  Yes, fantasy baseball was just a simpler time before the actual games had started.  It was once said that Hope Springs Eternal, and with the beginning of anything, it reminds us that anything can happen, albeit unlikely.  That phrase speaks volumes for many of us because we all know that only 1 person can win their league, yet we all "hope" we can do it.  Byron Buxton should tattoo that saying across his body because even I remain optimistic that he can give us an MVP season with a clean bill of health.  While hope still remains, you will need to stay active because as we all know, you can hope in one hand and s#it in the other and see which fills first.   On that lovely note, here is another installment of Getting Ahead in Head to Head for Week 6!

Officially, Luis Garcia #1 is outpacing Luis Garcia #2 and Luis Garcia #3 by a lot. Step up your game, Luis Garcias! If I had a couple billion dollars, I'd buy a MLB team and fill the whole team with Luis Garcias. A Luis Garcia at each position. "Luis winds up and--a hot smash to third! Luis Garcia snags it, and goes to Luis Garcia at 2nd and onto Luis Garcia at first. Double play complete!" Name that team the Garcias and get LG to sponsor us. Prolly shouldn't be putting this out there because Elon Musk is going to steal this idea. "No more Tesla for you, Mr. Musk?" "Sadly, this is my last day. On the bright side, I've got an idea to start a Luis Garcia-filled baseball team." Sigh, until I have that money in hand, I'm gonna have to look at Luis Garcia for fantasy baseball. This Luis Garcia's peripherals are 9.9 K/9,2.4 BB/9, 3.55 xFIP, and his fastball velocity is up. Last time I looked at him, his stats weren't as good, but they've clearly bounced back recently. His career ERA is 3.44 in 196 1/3 IP with a 9.4 K/9. Only time that's putting me to sleep is during his rock-a-bye pitching windup. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:

The Prospect You Should Add-Meyer

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? For the 497th day in a row, my magic mirror replies, "Not you, stupid." It's really a wonder I still have that mirror. I've really learned to control my rage. On days I'm especially composed, I even have theluxury of hearing the rest of what my magic mirror has to say: "Hold, a lovely Marlin is what I see. Rags cannot hide his dominant ways. Alas, Max Meyer is far more fair than thee." That pale Minnesota skin has undoubtedly tanned since arriving in Pensacola and now Jacksonville, but the increase in sun exposure has done nothing to thwart Meyer's prowess on the hill. The fireballing right-hander continues to impress with a fully-developed arsenal of three plus pitches, and it is only a matter of weeks (days?) before he gets the call to the bigs. Here's my case for Meyer as the top prospect in the game to stash. Buckle up!

Avoiding The Blurbstomp – Pyrrhic Victory Lap

May 12, 2022 | Avoiding the Blurbstomp |

by:

Folks, the internet has declared we are no longer allowed to take “victory laps” when we correctly guess a baseball outcome. This is an incredible turn of events. The very foundations of FMLB are based on the amphetamine-like go-for-leather brain blast that occurs when someone like Aristedes Aquino births one half-season’s worth of statistics in less than two months. It’s a community-based game full of hopeful clairvoyants vying for a triumphant future-rainbow-of-numbers whose pot of gold might land on their doorstep. Congratulating yourself for getting it right every once in a while feels good. Don’t police feeling good! Feeling good is good, man!

Points Leagues: Pitcher Check-In

May 12, 2022 | 2022 Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Baseball Points Leagues | 3 Comments

by:

I usually prefer to focus on hitters because they offer more reliable production and I like to stream starters. However, that doesn't change the fact that starting pitching is a key part of your roster. So much can vary from start to start and that's where Streamonator becomes your best friend. So lets check out the mound and find some reinforcements for the squad. Now obviously you can't stream all your pitchers, there are transaction limits. How then to find a starting pitcher who can help you for more than just one start. In points leagues you want innings and strikeouts. Wins are worth a bunch of points but it's a tough stat to bank on, especially since analytics lead to managers pulling their starters earlier. Guys who make it 7 innings can be stars, especially if they can give you at least a K per. The current innings leader at this stage of the season is Frankie Montas with 43 while Carlos Rodon leads the league with 53 Ks. Both guys are nowhere near a wavier wire but it will provide a barometer for what constitutes a good total in either category. With that in mind, let's break down potential adds into guys logging innings, and guys racking up Ks.

C. Yelich Greets Reds With An Anagram

Could this be a coincidence or deja vu? Whenever I think of Yelich, I think of Mr. Redleg: Excuse me! His name is Mr. Redlegs! Wait, am I talking about cojoined twins now? Co-Dick? Corey Dickerson did nothing yesterday (or all year). Yelich was an early season goof-up by yours truly. He looks markedly better than last year. I saw his sample size -- hey now! -- in the first two weeks and thought we were in for another long season of ground balls, but he's actually improved. He's hitting everything hard, and in the air again. Yelich might not be the Yelich of old -- the top 10 overall Yelich -- but he could easily be a low-end top 20 outfielder. Now, I'm off to see if anyone will invest in Call Me By Your Mom. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:

Prospect News: Zack Thompson Flashing or Joey Wentz to Motown

Cubs RHP Cam Sanders listens to Parliament between innings to maintain his mothership connection. He shakes out a little aqua boogie before and after every pitch, and it’s working for him. If you want your funk funked up, grab a flashlight and take a look. Sanders is doin’ it in 3D. He’ll put a glide in your stride and a dip in your hip. Might even tear the roof off the sucker when he makes the show. His stuff has always been good, but like a lot of young Cubbies, he’s added velocity over the past few seasons and harnessed that stuff at AA this season better than he has before, posting a 25% K-BB rate and a 1.00 WHIP in six starts. He’s yet to debut at AAA, but I’m hoping he pitches Friday when I get down to Des Moines to watch the I-Cubs. Feet don’t fail me now!
