Mitch Haniger fractured his forearm on a pitch, which was his most solid hit this year. Giants' beat reporters are saying Luis Matos is being called up. Luis Matos being called up is fun. I like fun. Transitive! I like Luis Matos. He had hit six homers in the last six MiLB games. Total damage in the minors: 9/15, and he was hitting .396 in Triple-A. Can I get a giddy up, pardner? Itch said two days ago he was on his Prospect Stash List. Itch said previously, after Matos was coming off a disappointing previous year, "The premium bat speed remains. He just needs to develop better plate discipline. He has the hands to make contact with most pitches, so he swings at most pitches. That has to change. Development is not linear. He’s got time, and I might do time if I find where Grey lives." Okay, honestly, I'm scared. So, I grabbed Matos in my shallowest leagues. He's got power and speed, and he's crazy hot. Let's see how far it takes him. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:

Welcome back Razzers to another Top 100 Outifelders, I’m just going to dive into the player updates this week as I made several updates throughout my rankings in a bit of a shuffle-up, let’s get it!

Nolan Jones – Who would have thought that the land where all prospects go to die would be the birthplace of the latest and greatest producer this side of Eden. Please, blog, may I have some more?

What’s poppin, Razzpimples? Bullpen update time!

Don’t forget, the Razzball Bullpen Chart is manned by yours truly and updated like every single second (not really, but I stay on top of thangs for the most part). And directly below, you’ll see a current look at the Top 15 RP (in both 5×5 standard leagues and 6×6  saves/holds leagues) via our Player Rater. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Royals called up insanely fast speedster,  Dairon Blanco (1-for-4). He's so fast he just ran in your room, mussed your hair and ran back out without you even seeing him. His name translates to "Strike while the iron is white hot." Roughly. I'm not a linguist. Dairon has 47 steals in 49 games in Triple-A, which is absolutely hilarious. Oh, and he's 30 years old. Okay, so the Royals have one of those teleporters like in The Fly, and Rajai Davis was in it when a cheetah entered. They got zapped together and out walked Dairon. Idea Alert! Every MLB team should be required to have an 80-steal burner. Like they all have LOOGYs, they should all have Billy Hamilton clones. This isn't an idea, this is a must-have. If your fantasy team's steals are anemic, Dairon is your answer. Otherwise, I'd prolly wait to see the next guy to come out of the cheetah teleporter. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Happy June, folx! I'm heading into the second stretch of the season with a bit more blurby-type approach, similar to your other favorite writers like The Itch and Chuck Palahniuk. I mentioned this early in the year as well, but I'll repeat it here for good measure: I'm only responding to comments on the day of publication now. I love y'all, but I need to carve out some time for the people I call "family" instead of "folx." I talk to Coolwhip and JKJ literally everyday and they have access to my data. If you haven't said "hey" to them, give them a shout. 

Tonight the Colorado Rockies travel to Boston to battle the Red Sox on zero days’ rest. A bottom-three road team on both sides of the ball, I’ll be looking to pick on the Rockies with bats and arms alike.

Rafael Devers (3B, $5,800) is heating up and our DFSBot loves his chances against Connor Seabold and the much-maligned Rockies bullpen.  Please, blog, may I have some more?

14.4% walk rate. That stands out as the difference between young players, who have promise, and what Gunnar Henderson (3-for-5, 2 runs, 3 RBIs and his 9th homer) has done. Thinking back to when Keston Hiura appeared to be a top prospect. He flamed out with a walk rate half of Gunnar's. Gunnar Henderson just went through conceivably the most difficult stretch of his young career, and did it with a 14.4% walk rate. That's remarkable. Most vets can't do that. It's common sense: A player struggles and starts swinging at everything and spirals out of control until they're asking, "Is the whole team going to Golden Corral tonight?" as they stand in line for minor league meal vouchers. Yesterday, Gunnar hit the longest home run in Camden Yards history; it reached the street, then rolled to Hamsterdam. Since June, he's hit .458 with four homers. He has a higher OPS than Kyle Tucker, Schwarber, Jul-Rod and Machado, to name a few. In the last month, he's hitting near-.300 with a .265 ISO. To me, the most impressive number is still 14.4%. Gunnar sounds like a viking backwards and forwards, and you Cnut ask for more. Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:
