Tampa Bay Rays Top 10 Prospects For 2024 Fantasy Baseball

1. SS Junior Caminero | 20 | MLB | 2023 Caminero smashed 31 home runs in 117 games across two levels, slashing .309/.373/.548 with a 17.1 percent strikeout rate in 81 Double-A games on his way to a late-season promotion to the show. To my eyes, he’s the leading candidate to open the 2024 season as the club’s starting shortstop. Maybe they go a different way, considering he’s not a great defender and has spent a lot of minor league time at third base. Tim Anderson feels like a good fit on a prove-it deal, if they’re looking for a moderately priced option in free agency. Taylor Walls is a possibility, in house, but he hit .201 last year and got worse throughout the season. If he can handle the workload on defense, Caminero has the talent to rejuvenate a team and fanbase that will be missing its missing building block until it manages to forget him.

Edouard Julien, 2024 Fantasy Sleeper

Shohei Ohtani is The Unicorn. This is not disputed anymore. It's fact. Check your Encyclopedia Brittanica. It says it under Unicorn, The. Edouard Julien has some unicorn qualities. Not in the same ways as Ohtani, clearly. He's not going to give you a Quality Start with 12 Ks, obviously. He's one-of-a-kind in a way more recognizable way. Call him The Unicode.  ASCII not what Edouard Julien can do for you, but what you can do--Actually, ASCII what The Unicode can do. He is better than the guy who gets his drink from the barista counter, then proceeds to stand there texting for ten minutes and blocking everyone else, that's The Unichode.

Isaac Paredes, 2024 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

Decided to do a little search of 2nd half splits. I don't necessarily believe that all guys who were good in the 2nd half last year will just continue their great hitting into the 1st half of 2024. Some guys may just be 2nd half hitters. Some guys might've just had a hot, say, August, and it's making their 2nd half look better than it was. Other guys might just had a good 2nd half, and that's all it was.

Jordan Westburg, 2024 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

I love trying to find sleepers. It's the hunt. It's like the ultimate big-game hunting, only I'm not on safari asking a guide, "Did I just get malaria from that mosquito? No? Great." Then three minutes later, "Do you think I just got malaria from that mosquito? No? Terrific." Then three minutes later in perpetuity for the next two weeks. It's that without mosquito-borne diseases. That's me, bros and five sisters! Jordan Westburg, he came to me in a flash-bang while I was out big-game sleeper hunting. I was perusing Statcast for exit velocity, as a nerd might do.

New York Yankees Top 10 Prospects For 2024 Fantasy Baseball

December 26, 2023 | Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Featured | 12 Comments

1. OF Jasson Dominguez | 21 | MLB | 2023 The Martian landed in New York on September 1, smashing four home runs in eight games before his season ended due to an elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery with a side of an internal bracing procedure. If his elbow heals well, the 5’9” 220 lb switch hitter should be an option for the major league lineup by midseason. He wasn’t great across 109 games in AA (.254/.367/.414), but that was enough for a 118 wRC+. Can’t complain about that from a 20-year-old. Then he torched Triple for nine games, walking twice as much as he struck out. The plate skills seemed to be mid-leap when he got hurt, and he’s starting to feel a little underrated for the dynasty game.

Ke’Bryan Hayes, 2024 Fantasy Sleeper

Ya know what I'm finding myself keen on more than in years past? Using the phrase 'keen on?' Close, but no. Guys who don't strike out much and hit for a nice average. Getting all mature in my fantasy baseball wonts. Like a big ol' smart nerd! Not a dumb nerd like someone who plays fantasy baseball and keeps going after guys who will hit .210 because they're sexy. Hey, one love to Jack Suwinski, but I'm eyeing his teammate, Ke'Bryan Hayes.

Position Eligibility for 2024 Fantasy Baseball

December 24, 2023 | 2024 Fantasy Baseball, Featured | 30 Comments

by:

Look at position eligibility like this, you have a toolbox filled with different positions, and you need a certain position for a certain hole in your lineup, or a screw for a certain hole to secure a latch. If you use the wrong screw, then the latch will be loose and you’ll need to translate Swedish to English to figure out how this cabinet’s door stays on the hinges, when it’s clearly not flush no matter how many times you unscrew it and re-screw it back in. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Dodger Green Helps Convince Yamamoto To Wear Dodger Blue

December 21, 2023 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes, Featured | 65 Comments

by:

The Dodgers have spent more than $1.1 billion this winter with the signings of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Shohei Ohtani and Tyler Glasnow. Eight teams haven’t spent a million. Is this [watches a butterfly flap out of one's hand] competitive balance? So, the Mets' owner Steve Cohen flew to Japan, took him out to dinner and Yamamoto went home with the Dodgers. [searching PornHub for cuckold, seeing a video of Steve Cohen paying the check for Yamamoto's dinner] Damn, that's brutal. Yamamoto was also rumored to possibly be on the Giants' radar, but Yoshinobu saw a news report of a smash and grab at a vape shop in The Castro, and decided against San Francisco. Ouch. As I believe I said before, how about rather than the Dodgers buying free agents, they just get all the free agents and tell us which ones they don't want. Might be easier that way.
