Nats Spike My Interest By Serving Up Cavalli Ball

"Hey, Cade, I know you drove my Ferrari last night into our pool, and your father and I are not mad, but Dad is disappointed, and I'm too zoinked on quaaludes to really care." Kristin Cavallari's new boy-toy, Cade Cavalli will make his MLB debut on Friday. He made the top 100 fantasy baseball prospects for dynasty leagues. Does that mean his pitches dy...*pinkie to mouth*...nasty?! Die nasty? No? Yeah, I don't know either. Here's what Itch said previously, "A late convert to full-time pitching, Cavalli brought some untapped upside to the MLB draft and landed at 22nd overall to the Nationals, who are never afraid to snag a first-round arm talent with question marks. Cavalli thrived as a pro and climbed three levels, dominating in A+ and AA before getting knocked around in his first tour through Triple-A. Cavalli suppressed home runs and induced ground balls all year, striking out 175 batters in 123.1 innings along the way. He’s a thick 6’4” 235 and looks like a linebacker on the mound. Love to see him flatten Grey." Not cool, man! That was from the preseason, and Cavalli has looked much better this year in Triple-A. With all that said (here's where I reveal I just wasted your time), I'm not grabbing Cavalli in any mixed leagues, but I will be cyclops'ing him. Especially if he's hanging with Heidi, Spencer and Lauren. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:

Prospect News: Vines and Waters Frelick Through the Minors

Baseball fans are rallying around the new rule set and running numbers to build a case for Arizona and Baltimore to call up Corbin Carroll and Gunnar Henderson, who was reportedly already with the major league team until he was reportedly in the Norfolk Triple-A lineup on Tuesday night. Could still happen if Baltimore keeps winning. Arizona has less incentive to promote Carroll given their place in the standings, but it’s a new rule set. If the Orioles promote Henderson now, he'd still be eligible to win Rookie of the Year in 2023, which would earn the team a draft pick. If he finished Top 3 in MVP voting in 2024, they’d get another. It’s weird. They’d have to keep his at bats under 130, but I’m sure they could manage that. In other 30,000 feet news, Arte Moreno has hired a firm to sell the Angels for him. He can’t even sell his own team? What the blue hell is going on around here? Which has been the general refrain around the Angels for the past few years. It’s a good thing for our game. Anaheim has been kind of aimless on the developmental side for a long time. Any kind of vision would help their prospects actualize.

Justin Says It’s Just Twins And Just Wins

At 39 years of age, he is dominating like he's in his 20s. He's doing things that have never been done before, while just coming back from Tommy John surgery. He truly is remarkable. I have an idea about how he's performing so well, but to test my theory, I need to sleep with Kate Upton. I will talk to my wife, Cougs, and I will need to get Justin and Kate's permission, as well. For science is how I will pitch it, and I'll need to pitch better than Justin to get this to fly. I believe this is a sacrifice all four of us can make. I will be making perhaps the biggest sacrifice. For 2023 fantasy, what will Justin Verlander do as an encore after this season? His peripherals (8.9 K/9, 1.5 BB/9, 3.36 xFIP) look basically the same as his first Cy Young award that he won back in 2011, and, he should win his third this year. There's no way I'm betting against Justin Verlander next year, not until everyone involved lets me sleep with Kate Upton to see if that has magical powers. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:

Hello there RCLers, this update will be a little scattered, the RCL Bots were on holiday yesterday (not sure which holiday…National take your cat to the vet’s day perhaps?).  But, thanks to the work of VinWins capturing the data, we will have our weekly leaders and TOW, along with a check-in with the ‘Perts League.  Please, blog, may I have some more?
