Psst! This post is gonna list 2nd basemen that you should target in your 2023 fantasy baseball drafts. I’m whispering because you don’t want everyone to see this post. No, I can’t whisper louder, then it WOULDN’T BE WHISPERING! Okay, gig’s up (or maybe that’s jig’s up), the love I’m about to reiterately (Made Up Word of the Day!) confirm is on these guys I love later in drafts. I’m not going to mention Vaughn Grissom other than this one mention of him where I say I’m not going to mention him. At least that’s my apophasis and I’m sticking to it! These are players that you’re looking at later and all of them have ADPs after 200 (unlike Grissom; okay, two non-mentions). Some could be the 2nd baseman on your team, they are more than likely MIs. This is a (legal-in-all-countries-except-Canada) supplement to the top 20 2nd basemen for 2023 fantasy baseball. Click on the player’s name where applicable to read more and see their 2023 projections. Anyway, here’s some 2nd basemen to target for 2023 fantasy baseball:
Josh Rojas (NFBC 209, Yahoo 222, ESPN 206) I’m convinced we don’t even know how much the pitch clock is going to affect the game. Pitchers are going to have to work so fast that anyone with a modicum of speed could become Rickey Henderson. Could we see multiple 40-steal seasons? Absolutely. Could this be overblown? Yeah, I don’t know. After watching a few spring training games, I’m on the side of “Everything is about to become chaos,” but maybe it will just be like that the 1st two weeks. With that said, Rojas might be one to shock with one of those huge steals years, as he gets on base a lot. Plus, he has some power. Drafted him the other day in the free rounds as mentioned in my LABR draft recap. He’ll be my 3rd baseman (he has multi-eligibility) in case my Jordan Walker lottery ticket turns out to be an episode of I Won The Lottery And It Ruined My Life on TLC. (Not an actual show, but it sounds like it would be.)
Ryan McMahon (Yahoo 210, ESPN 210) Damn, the absolute heat I’m bringing to the 2nd basemen to target post! Who is this youngen? Some upstart prospect? No? Good, because if he were Bud Black would never play him. McMahon’s one of those where I just need to point you to his end-of-the-season ranking on the Player Rater. He was the 139th best hitter last year, and he’s going after 200 this year. All he has to do is repeat and he’ll out-earn his draft slot. Assuming he doesn’t lose too much playing time to Mostsuckass. I’m not even half-joking.
Christopher Morel (NFBC 253, Yahoo 281, ESPN 251) So, I have some concerns that Morel might hit .190 and be replaced by Nelson Velazquez or someone else. I use Roster Resource at FanGraphs to double check what they’re thinking for lineups, but I think sometimes it adds a level of confidence that shouldn’t be there. You’ll see a guy with a starting job there, and you’re like, “Great! Whew!” But a manager says one little thing and they change it to a platoon in seconds. Just because it seems set in stone, it’s not at all. Morel could suck and be out of a job by mid-April. So, why put him here? He’s got solid power and speed. 25/15 type upside and that’s definitely worth a late flyer.
CJ Abrams (Yahoo 234, ESPN 227) Wrote a CJ Abrams sleeper — Also, wrote a Vaughn Grissom sleeper but he’s going before 200 overall — have I mentioned Vaughn Grissom before? I have? Good! So, everyone I talk to says Abrams reminds them of a Billy Hamilton-type. Can Abrams steal 50 bags? Sure, but he might also hit .195. That’s at least the concerns I’m hearing. The word is he just makes a lot of awful contact and doesn’t walk at all. 200-foot dribblers? Well, maybe he can steal first, huh? I’m still in on him if he’s running at 12 FPS like he’s a silent film star. Wait, is that what CJ stands for, Charlie Japlin?
Brendan Donovan (NFBC 295, Yahoo unranked, ESPN unranked) I used to have a crush on a Brenda ‘n Donna in grade school, so maybe I’m not thinking clearly here, but if Brendan Donovan is hitting in the middle of the Cards’ order with his easy .280 average, then he’s going to be hard to deny a top 100-ish fantasy value. It won’t be an insanely exciting fantasy value, like a 30/30 type guy. Nope, he’s going to be like a mid-career DJ LeMahieu on the Rockies. Think 15/8/.280 with good runs and RBIs. He’s going late enough for that flyer if that interests you. Remember, he’s Do-novan, not a Don’t-ovan.
Michael Massey (NFBC 454, Yahoo unranked, ESPN unranked) Here’s one for you Cousteaus out there who are in deep leagues. Look at the Royals’ projected lineup. Does a .240 power guy (Witt) who doesn’t walk make sense as a leadoff guy? How about a .210-hitting catcher who is slow as dog balls? How about a guy with some speed who could hit .270? Interest piqued? Same. Mi-Ma doesn’t have any loud tools. No jackhammer power, no jack rabbit speed. Might just be a 15/15/.260 hitter, but in deep leagues that has value, and he profiles as a leadoff guy more than just about anyone the Royals have. If Mike Matheny was still there, I would say that would take five and a half months to get figured out, but hopefully Matt Quatraro is quantrarian to idiot managers.
Gonna take quite a dramatic swing tweak for Donovan to hit 15 hrs (He does have a new bat handle in spring training). I still like him but playing in Busch Stadium isn’t going to give him any cheap ones.
I like Bruce Turang slightly more than Massey. Better run scoring environment and better organization overall to succeed in. Massey is interesting too.
I have gunnar as a keeper. with the news of betts playing 40 games at 2nd this year am I wrong to keep betts over jose ramirez – 2nd base is a wasteland and altuve, albies, semien all project to be kept.
other keepers are
alonso, tatis, tucker, carroll, burnes, gunnar and jordan walker.
Sounds fine
Hello there – I have first choice on snake draft position in my 10 team roto league. What do you think would be the best spot this year? We usually do an auction but everyone (except me) wants snake this year and I have never been in one. Thank you.
Haunting stuff in the Second Base video. Haunting, I say!
I know he’s your schmohawk, but would you get for Sandy and Austin Riley for Scherzer, Darvish, Blackmon?
How would you rank these keepers in a 12 team roto auction with $290 draft cap? I have my top 6 but can add two more from this group. Their prices carry forward.
Eloy Jimenez. $25
Seiya Suzuki. $6
Ian Happ. $10
Blake Snell. $16
Freddie Freeman $49
Felix Bautista. $10
Wm. Contreras. $10
Please rank for top 3. Thank you and your work continues to be amazing.
Hi Grey,
Thanks for all that you do here! Quick full panic attack question of Dylan Cease’s implosion yesterday…
I’m in a 10 team H2H category league that includes K’a and OBP for hitters. It’s a 3 keeper league as well.
I’m keeping strider and Riley already. My 3rd keeper option are the following:
Cease 6th
Muncy 10th
Teoscar 10th
Lindor 7th
Given the lack of OF and premium hitters along with the depth of starting pitching, I’m leaning towards Lindor or Teoscar.
What are your thoughts on who I should keep?
Haha, Lindor
Thank you! I know it’s only spring training, but I don’t want to be left holding the bag if cease reverts back to 2021 numbers.
Grey, with this draft construction
Alvarez
Vlad
Mullins
Swanson
Cruz
Gimenez
Whos the better fit McCarthy or Ward?
Hmm…Ward, but close
Great value picks here Grey!
Which side you like in a keep forever?
1) Tatis
2) Witt and Wander
Thanks,
LG
Witt
Thanks sorry one more quick one.
In a keep forever please rank Volpe, Lawlar and Arozarena
Randy, Volpe
I didn’t see what’s going on.
Thanks for the great work Grey.
What’s the best place to get the quickest news about injuries, lineups, trades, call-ups, etc.?
Thanks
Follow 30 beat writers on twitter and mark them for notifications…barring that, rotoworld
Some of the beat writers for the Athletic are better Twitter follows than the hometown paper guys.
At this point, I don’t even know who I follow, but following one very present writer for each team is a solid path…or just check out headlines on rotoworld, they get the news, if maybe 20 mins later
thank you!
Thanks again, Grey! How does this sound for targets, do you have some up I can’t find them. 15 team straight roto for the year. C-1-2-SS-3rd-CI-MI-DH-4 OF.
HR-260
RBI-900
R-900
Stls- 130
Average .267
Will that put me in the running? I don’t expect to win every category honestly.
They’re not in the War Room…Those sound good, but I don’t know off top of head, tbh
Targets for a 15 team mixed NFBC based on finishing top 20% (not necessarily winning) in each category in 2022:
Avg: .256
Runs: 1000
RBI: 970
HR: 273
SB: 129
W: 91
S: 67
ERA: 3.38
WHIP: 1.14
K: 1347
Also posted this in the Rudy post. Your team is carrying 2 fewer players than in the league you’re in so your #s look good as far as projections go.
Ah, nice…Thanks!
Keepers are due tonight and I have time to adjust to the Rodon news. Currently I have Rodon, Scherzer, Cristian Javier, Olson, Gunnar, and Tucker as keepers in a 12-team H2H league. Would you swap Rodon for one of Darvish, Ray, Bregman, or Vinnie P.? Thanks!
Yes, Vinnie
Grey,
Vargas is, Colas might
Hey Grey man,
In a start up 12 team dynasty league would you consider J. Walker at the 36-37 turn? Feel like he won’t survive until 60-61.
Took Bo and Witt at 12 and 13. Not liking the Witt pick already. Was trying to grab SB’s. IDK.
Works for me
Thank you.
I want to have fun with this build. I usually try to win the league in year one not worrying about players age. Don’t plan on drifting to far from that approach but there is still a lot of draft left.
No problem
Machado and Eovaldi or Arenado and McKenzie?
Should I keep what I got (Machado) or take the better pitcher and find the steals elsewhere
Arenado side
Hey Grey
I have been a loyal reader of your column for years. Your advise has always been on point. I recently just started listening to your podcast. Very entertaining. You guys seem like you your really having fun.
Now that I got that out of the way, I need your help with keepers in an 11 team mixed roto auction draft league
I can keep any or all of the below. Thanks
Vaughn Grissom $6 2B
Nate Lowe $6 1B
Ezequiel Tovar $6 SS/MI
Oswald Peraza $6 MI/SS
Harrison Bader $6 OF
CJ Abrams $6 SS/MI
Jack Flaherty $9 SP
Robbie Ray $16 SP
Julio Urias $31 SP
Jake McCarthy $6 OF
Ha, we try!
Meh on Flaherty, but I’d keep the rest
Grey,
In a AL-Only 5×5 auction rotisserie league with 10 teams, comprised of 15 hitters (+1 OF + 1 MI beyond standard 2 catcher format) and 12 pitchers. The budget is $305.
Each team may keep 8 players (with 8 Free Moves) , or 9 (with 6 Free Moves).
Historically, the league has leaned towards keeping SPs and higher priced, but reliable offensive producers (think guys like Ramirez, Judge, etc). This year I’ve decided to generally zig to that zag, but I’m wondering whether I should keep at least 1-2 SPs for strategic live auction reasons. I’d say most other teams are keeping at least 3 SPs. The argument for keeping no SPs is that a) there are a surprising number of quality SPs who should be available this year and b) overall I’d say pitching is stronger than offense this year. Here’s the top SPs who won’t be “kept” and so will be available in the auction:
· Cole
· DeGrom
· Rondon
· Bieber
· Gausman
· Ray or Lynn
· Sale
· Bassitt
· Lopez
· Luis Garcia
· Heaney
· Berrios
· Eovaldi
· Gray
· Anderson
· McCullers
· Urquidy
· Kopech
· Maeda
· Ober
Here’s my top 11 potential “keepers”:
Gimenez ($8)
Rutschman ($10)
Franco ($15)
Vaughn ($13)
MJ Melendez ($10)
Miranda ($10)
Naylor ($4)
Olivares ($3)
Sale – $19
Paxton – $2
Oscar Gonzalez – $10
Questions:
1) Which 9 would you keep?
2) What do you think about the strategy?
THANK YOU very much for the excellent insight!
BBboston (aka BBHHI)
1. So which two don’t keep? Pax and Sale 2. Yes, just draft SPs
Thank you. Gonzalez would be my 9th offensive keeper……
You like him better than Paxton?
Yeah
Thanks Grey! Good stuff!
Quick question, I’m in a holds+saves league this year and wondering if it’s a good idea to go cheap and maybe go something like Fairbanks and Adams. Same team guessing I’ll get a decent amount of holds and saves. 9 Pitching spot, I’m thinking 7 starters 2 relievers? Thoughts on that? Thanks!
Yes, go cheap on RPs in a holds+saves league…There’s a ton of them on waivers
Thanks!
No problem
Excited for both Brenda Donna and Michael Massey in the Razz30! In a deep league neither are super sexy but can solid contributors
Haha, OSB!
I was looking at Tucker’s sprint speed metric on statcast and it was strange. I am not saying you need to be a burner to steal a bag, but bottom 3rd of the distribution seems odd. I’d never expect anyone in that tier to steal 25 bags or even reach double digits. I even pulled the data and sorted by team. Look who he is grouped next to.
Goes to the point that speed doesn’t make a guy good at steals…Nimmo is fast(ish) and never steals
True. The question I have is where does he hit? Dusty is going to hit him 6th if Brantley plays isn’t he? That could put a dent in his runs and steals since Abreu will be pulling a train in front him
Ha, I hope not! When Brantley plays is like 70 games too tbh
Hey Grey, I wanted to get your thoughts on my current keeper predicament. I am in a 12-team 6×6 roto league (OPS & Holds), and each team must keep 5 players (in exchange for a draft pick). I am currently keeping Betts (1st rounder), Lindor (3rd), Schwarber (7th) and Corbin Carroll (26th). I am floundering for the last keeper, between Cease at the 6th round, Matt Olson at 2nd round, or Andrew Vaughn at 25th round. I was initially going to keep Cease at 6th round, but there’s not much left at the 1B pool really, and I RRRREALLY like Matt Olson. It’s just that if I keep Olson, I won’t get a draft pick until the 4th round, and focus on pitching with those early rounds. But Cease worries me (and I know spring training stats mean nothing) because of his control issues and I think he will give up more hits this year.
WWGD (What Would Grey Do)?
Cease since you don’t have a SP
Carlos Rodon has a “mild forearm strain” and will start the year on the IL. Sounds ominous.
Yeah, terrible
Grey, if i draft Alvarez/Vlad/Mullins with that construction who do u prefer with my 4 th pick between Altuve or Swanson?
Swanson
14 team 5×5 roto keep 10 -$300 budget. $5 annual inflation.
Trade my$25 Buxton
Get his $5 Jordan walker?
Nah
Good morning!
12 team H2H league. trying to nail down my last two keepers. Right now I have Trea, Julio Rodriguez, Tucker, Gunnar, Verlander and Wheeler.
Which two would you pick to fill out your 8 (keeper round in parentheses)?
-Arenado (3)
-Casas (23)
-H. Greene (14)
-Sale (15)
-Helsley (16)
-F. Bautista (17)
-T. Hernandez (8)
-T. O’Neill (12)
Thanks!
Tyler and Teoscar

LFG!
Thoughts on Josh Jung’s 12 tm mixed league value this year?
I like the flyer at what, 200 overall? Why not
This could probably wait until the SS post tomorrow, but here goes;
I’m in a ten team H2H dynasty, 5×5+OPS.
My current 2B/ SS/ UT/ UT spots are some combination of Gimenez, Pena, Cruz, and CJ Abrams.
My OF is Betts, Teoscar, Adolis, and Seiya (four slots).
Someone has inquired about Cruz. Him for Mullins is a fair ask, right? Would fit reasonably well on the team? Or does that throw the team a little steals-heavy/ power-light?
Thanks.
It is fair, yes…Cruz has the chance to be a top 5 guy…Mullins is safer tho
Grey did you see Rasmussen hitting 98 on the gun in his last spring training game ? Changeup was at 91…
My mistake, was 98 with the fastball and and 90 with the cutter !
Still, he looked good last last week
Nice!

At what point do we know this year’s mlb balls with be juiced or dead? Does ST give us any clue?
*just wondering if SB’s or HR’s will become more valuable?
Nah…Maybe by mid-April
1. Josh Rojas or vaughn Grissom? Both seem to be mediocre power suprisingly solid stolen base type hitters.
2. Thoughts on buxton? He seems to be going really late in mock drafts and he’s definitely still very good (if healthy)
3. Are you familiar with Masataka Yoshida? Batting lead off for the Red Sox automatically after coming from Japan? Is he as good as some think he could be?
4. Do you trust hunter greene this year ?
5. I’m probably a top 5 Julio fan alive, got him off the waivers last year. But espn has him going first round, is that reasonable or just overhype. Picking him over ohtani seems a stretch
I’m pretty sure espn has him not only first round but in the first 3 or 4 spots
This should answer most of those questions for you… https://razzball.com/top-500-for-2023-fantasy-baseball/
All of these are answered in my rankings https://razzball.com/2023-fantasy-baseball-rankings/
Where does Donovan play? Cards have Edman at 2B, Arenado at 3B and 5 OF/DH types for 4 spots. With J-Walk already making things crowded, who sits for Donovan?
He’ll play. Dejong will be UTIL. Walker will be OF when he cracks the lineup. It’s Mason Winn who they need to make room for in a few months. But there will be an injury to somebody that will help that issue I’m sure.
Or I guess the correct answer is that there is a DH slot now in NL and they’ll prob use Walker in OF and whoever in that DH slot (rotate). Prob Yepez that loses out on PT that was maybe expected a few months ago.
Agree with Nux…Really comes down to “if he hits, he will play” for everyone
Also agree Yepez is in most danger
It’s a statement about Card depth for sure, because Yepez is pretty legit. That guy can hit.
Yeah, absolutely…I like Yepez still, if he gets ABs
Is it crazy that I have always kind of thought Adolis Garcia can’t keep this up because the Cards let him go and they almost never miss
Except for Bader, Arozarena, Adolis
Steve Carlton
HA
Fantastic to see that you’ve come around a bit on my guy Massey over the last month or so. Is it the ST homers that helped? Or just the idea that there may be ABs? From the blurb I think it’s just the potential for ABs, which was what I was getting at when we talked about him a few weeks back. But I’m really only in deep-ish leagues these days, so maybe the points I was trying to make didn’t make a ton of sense when I brought him up.
Also, I’m grabbing this imposter B-Don everywhere I can. Sounds like a tick up in power is coming… but can he host a podcast!!!?!?!?
But seriously, he got a new bat and was at some kinda training lab that other Cards guys like Nolan and Goldy went to. Slight change in the stance… and hitting bombs. I’m all in and I’m “overdrafting” him right now, including in a startup with Itch.
Took me a second but just found our chitty chat… https://razzball.com/top-80-outfielders-for-2023-fantasy-baseball/#comment-3124165
I demand no less than 1 over the Internet high five plz!!!
High five!
I didn’t know Massey homered in spring tbh…I was talking to Shawn Childs at spring training in Florida and he convinced me — BDon is another guy I love, the Cards guy, naturally — smiley emoji
Yea he homered for third time yesterday! But also fouled a ball off foot and is DTD. Latest news says he escaped with just a minor ankle bruise. I’m unsure who Shawn Childs is, but assume you countered with Yes, I am aware I need to get Massey into my Top 500 due to Random Commenter NUX ;)
Haha, Shawn used to write for SI
Shawn is in the NFBC Hall of Fame. He used to be good at fantasy baseball.
He’s still good!
Please don’t tell him that….smile.
Blah blah blah Shawn Childs blah blah blah… Just would like to take a moment to point out that I blurbed about Massey on this very site a full month ago! ; )
Hahaha
I made a comment about him after seeing him in T-ball game in ’04
Haha
Which two would you keep in a 14 Team H2H OBP Keep 6 Forever League (other keepers are Trea, Judge, Devers, Julio Urias):
Tyler O’Neill
Andres Gimenez
Devin Williams
Vaughn Grissom
Seiya Suzuki (OBP)
Anthony Rizzo (OBP)
Jesus Luzardo
Gimenez seems like he should be one but he’s so boring to me and like you said in your blurb on him, the upside is limited.
Tyler, Andres…But I could see a case for all of them
Maybe not a guy to target but a guy who has popped up everywhere as I’ve been getting ready for the season is Edouard Julien on the Twins. Hasn’t played above AA and doesn’t have a clear path so doesn’t look super promising on the surface, but keep hearing the bat is ready to play. He will turn 24 this year in season so he’s an older prospect at this point anyway. Showed speed and power last year. Probably the first guy up when there’s an injury in the IF and is getting reps at 1B/3B in the spring. Read multiple interviews where Rocco was gushing’. I dunno. Seems like every offseason there’s a guy whose name keeps trying to grab my attention. Maybe a good grab in a draft champs or any really deep league outside pick 600.
I saw him somewhere and I was thinking how am I going to remember how to spell his name when I have to talk about him and I came up with Ed? O, u ar (d)…Talking suggestions still tho! Haha…I have seen him as well, and I think he’s going to get some play, absolutely
Oak! Any more fliers for last two rounds of the slowest DC draft ever??
Love Ben Joyce. I mean, how many 105 mph are the Angels going to let him throw in the minors? What’s even the point? Every pitch this guy throws should be in the bigs. Probably only so many bullets in that arm. Upside here is he’s their 2nd half closer and top 5 closer over that stretch.
Nice. Perfect guy for these rounds.
I’m keeping an eye on Curtis Mead from the Rays as well in the over pick 600 group.
Ya mead is interesting. Someone grabbed Soderstrom few rounds ago who I like too but not sure he gets more that a cup of coffee in Sept.
I think Soderstrom sees some decent big league time. Sucks he’ll be util only for awhile. He may end up getting 1B before he gets C in fact.
This is probably a tall order but with the draft coming up. Could you give me like
(10 team h2h snake draft catagories league)
1. 5 of your top targets to go for in the draft
2. 3 offensive breakout candidates
3. 3 pitching breakout candidates
And last but not least
4. Who should I go for 1st pick out of acuna, Mookie, jose Ramirez, or J-rod? (Assuming Judge is taken)
Thanks for your help! You’ve helped my team year after year and I hope you have a great season yourself as well!
There are Rankings sucka. Also everything he’s been saying for months now. Betts isn’t a number 1 he’s maybe late first. He has talked about all of this just look.
https://razzball.com/author/grey-2/
I was looking for more like specific suggestions for how it is rn rather than a ranking list , but that has good info too for sure
https://razzball.com/top-500-for-2023-fantasy-baseball/
Listen to the podcasts and read
So you want someone else to play for you?
No not really, I do my own research mainly, just curious who some of the players he thinks might be surprising breakout candidates. A lot of lists I’ve read say the same guys will be good and that gets rid of some of their value by picking them late. A breakout candidate everyone expects , isn’t even really a breakout.

12 team dynasty, 30 man roster keep 21, 6 x 6 categories, ops, ave, rbi, r, hr, sb
Having trouble with my last drops. I need to drop 3 of the following…
Cj abrams
Mj melendez
Ryan mountcastle
Jose miranda
Javier baez
Vaughn grissom
Jake croenworth
Was thinking cj, baez and croen but kind of want to be convinced to keep cj…
Cronenworth, Baez are absolutes…Then I guess CJ
The title is appropriate because second base is trash this year and I fell asleep reading this.
Lol I fell asleep and woke up to it. FUCK! Lol
Ha
Ha
Ah good to be back here. Oh no am I going to draft McMahon again? Facepalm. I hated owning him last yr but I could have done worse it seems.
KEEPER QUESTION(2023 salaries shown)
16tm ROTO
I keep 4 ($260 budget)
closers are worth their weight in gold and go for $30.
Similarly SB are highly sought after. So sagnof is a must.
BATS:
M.Olson($36)
Eloy($30)
Luis Robert($23)
Teoscar Hernandez($12)
Nate Lowe($10)
Alec Bohm($9)
J.Mateo($5)
ARMS:
C.Javier($13)
Jhoan Duran($6)
J.Luzardo($5)
Glasnow($5)
This would be my 3rd yr with L.Robert and hes not been super fun to own BUT so far im for sure keeping
-Teoscar($12)
-C.Javier($13)
What would Grey do? (W.W.G.D.?) Duran would be a guarantee if he were the full time closer but Baldellis gonna Baldelli STILL would be worth $6 but curious as to your take.
Cheers.
Robert, Teoscar, Javier and Olson
Thanks! Also if you see this should I email Rudy with any wordpress issues? Or contact someone at wordpress? Its saying my email doesnt exist and I’m trying to buy one of the packages.
Email Rudy at Razzball dot com
Great stuff…Garret Mitchell-TJ Freidel or Josh Outman? 13 team dynasty 5×5.. thank you!
Tough one… this wouldn’t have been my answer as recently as a month ago. But its GMitchell for me right now. And I like + roster the other 2 in my 14 and 16 team dynasty leagues. I think I would trade both to get Mitchell based on what I’m hearing right now about how his spring is looking and the power/speed potential. He also prob has the biggest name value of the 3 so if he starts out super hot, you could be getting pretty good trade offers for him in April/May. Interested to see what Grey thinks. His Top 500 show GMitch as the answer, so that’s what I’d expect to hear
Thanks! Agree with Nux
Actual Word of the Day: apophasis
Whatever
Lol wtf? What is this?
Just a word he used that I never heard of before.
It’s a good word!
Grey!!!!
Awesome!!!!!
a. Love these 2Bs to bits!!
b. Scanned the boxscores from yesterday and my lone takeaway was Alcala striking out the side. He’s in my CBI file (aka Coming Back from Injury) so I tread lightly but in a deep league with K/9, SVH and W as three pitching categories (WHIP and ERA the other two) he could be sneaky good, right? I’ll wait for Musgrove’s IL status to change and add Alcala. What’s your take on him in the Twins’ BP? I know Duran is the closer looking at Alcala for the other cats.
c. Jerry Seinfeld quote of the day for March 9, 2023
The bad thing about television is that everybody you see on television is doing something better than what you’re doing. Did you ever see anybody on TV like just sliding off the front of the sofa with potato chip crumbs on their face? Some people have a little too much fun on television: the soda commercial people – where do they summon this enthusiasm? Have you seen them? “We have soda, we have soda, we have soda”, jumping, laughing, flying through the air – it’s a can of soda. Have you ever been standing there and you’re watching TV and you’re drinking the exact same product that they’re advertising right there on TV, and it’s like, you know, they’re spiking volleyballs, jetskiing, girls in bikinis and I’m standing there – “Maybe I’m putting too much ice in mine.”

Lol, I’m going to like the Seinfeld.
Thanks! B. Meh, I guess, but there’s so many possible great MRs…MRs most important thing is how are they using him…Alcala figures to get what, the 6th or 7th in games they’re losing? I’m fine with the flyer, but can’t imagine there’s not better
C. Haha
I read these and hear Jerry’s voice in my head lol.
I had McMahon last year and he was so yawnstipating! I bet he’s ranked 139th because there were 139 players who had at least as many ABs as he did.OK, maybe I’m exaggerating.
Vaughn Grissom seems interesting even though you didn’t mention him, like, at all.
Vaughn may not have a job out of spring training and he will probably lose 2B eligibility.
Arcia is batting .091 so far this Spring… Something tells me Grissom will have the job.
And the second point?
Obviously you don’t read much. You’re yawnstipating
Obviously you don’t follow the Braves much. When do they put stick in spring stats? They don’t. But, hey, keep douching it up.
I do like Grissom
Sorry, that was my lame attempt at humor. I was riffing on your joke about mentioning/not Grissom.
Ha, no worries, before coffee set in and missed it
