The early bird gets the worm, and nowhere else are there more worms to be had than the waiver wire of available relief pitchers in your league. Each year we watch the demise of established capital-C “Closers”, who cost fantasy managers a decent penny in draft price, as other fantasy managers scoop up their understudy relievers from the waiver wire. Please, blog, may I have some more?

DFS: The Big Apple Meets Cowtown California
April 11, 2025 | 2025 Fantasy Baseball, DFS, DraftKings, Fantasy Baseball DFS | 2 Commentsby: Professor P Rich
Only Sacramentoens can make fun of our beautiful and wonderful city, and I hope for my bank rolls sake, the Big Apple shows up in a big way tonight.
We are about a quarter to a third of the way to the point where a smart mathematician will start trusting some of the K/BB numbers being put up. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Twinkies Festaing On Some Lil’ Zebbies
April 10, 2025 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes | 239 Commentsby: Grey
David Festa will start today for the Twins, and there’s rumors that Zebby Matthews will be called up this weekend to take part in a six-man rotation. Or as Lionel Richie would say, “We’re going to Party, Zebby, Festa, forever. Come on, and sing my song!” Please, blog, may I have some more?
One Man’s Trash: Send Taylor To The Ward?
April 10, 2025 | 2025 Fantasy Baseball, One Man's Trash | 11 Commentsby: Son
I was driving on the 10 freeway in Los Angeles during rush hour the other day when I had another urge to cosplay Michael Douglas in Falling Down. Being the responsible citizen that I am, I cut off multiple cars to exit, ran a red light then made my way back onto the freeway from a non-turn lane. Please, blog, may I have some more?
As a way to offer readers some deeper knowledge about the fantasy-relevant players on MLB rosters, I’m going to be checking in from time to time with a full division’s worth of middle infielders. As a long-suffering Cubs fan, I couldn’t resist starting with the NL Central. Please, blog, may I have some more?
2025 MLB Risers And Fallers: New York State Of Mind
April 10, 2025 | 2025 Fantasy Baseball | 10 Commentsby: CableBoxScore
Major League Baseball has now played two of its 26 weeks this season, which means we have minimal stats to evaluate players for our fantasy baseball squads. With Opening Day past us and the dog days of summer ahead, who have been some of the more interesting risers and fallers? Please, blog, may I have some more?
In our 86th episode, Mike Couillard and Jeremy Brewer open by talking about major extensions, crushing injuries, and a retirement from the latest MLB news. Then we overview how to evaluate hitters early in the season to determine whether significant changes have been made to their profiles along with a few hot or cold bats out the gate.

when I think about how I drafted Gunnar Henderson instead of Corbin Carroll pic.twitter.com/D5lH8sD9zi

Yesterday, Corbin Carroll (2-for-4, 2 runs) hit his 5th homer. Meh, only five more homers than Gunnar, en bee dee. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Prospect News: Feel The Peña Everyone or Take Zac Veen
April 9, 2025 | Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Featured | 14 Commentsby: The Itch
At the risk of overstating the reality, I’m happy to see the Zac Veen era is underway in Colorado. My bold predictions article says he’ll steal 40 bases this season, so that’s pretty much a lock at this point. Or perhaps he’ll be back in the minors a month from now. I’m betting against that, obviously. I think it’s more important for the organization to get Veen right than it is for them to, for example, get Jordan Beck right.

Corners Report: NL Central Cornerstone Or Corner Pieces?
April 9, 2025 | 2025 Fantasy Baseball | 5 Commentsby: The Educator
As many predicted, the corner infield landscape is a barren field littered with mines that might go off at any second. If your powers of prognostication were correct, your team is built with corners that are good, aka cornerstones. If not, well, you do have to fill in a 1B, 3B, and CI spot in most leagues, right?

Paris Dishing Out Some Batatouille
April 8, 2025 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes | 322 Commentsby: Grey
Yesterday, Kyren Paris (1-for-3, 2 RBIs) hit his 3rd homer. At the worst, a hot schmotato. At the best, he’s hosting the last Olympics in his brain and we’re all Raygun. At most realistic, he’ll be hot for a few weeks until teams figure him out. Please, blog, may I have some more?
