What is up party people? The trade deadline is almost upon us and that means rumors are flying. Obviously the biggest name in the mix is the man, the myth, the legend Shohei Ohtani. No matter where he ends up he will be great unless that team for some reason decides to make him a one player. Stranger things have happened but that would make absolutely no sense to limit his talents given what it would require to pry him away.

What is up party people? The second half is off to a roaring start and it seems like every game Tuesday saw both sides score double digit runs. Could it be that the bouncy balls are back? If so, hitters are about to explode. Of course that means very bad things for your pitchers but let’s be honest, it is really fun to watch bombs. Did you Know that Shohei Ohtani leads the league in home runs? I’m almost certain that is brand new information that you would otherwise have no way of knowing. He is the hottest name potentially in line for a mid season change of scenery.  So, who used the break to refocus and lock in…

What is up party people? Hope everyone had a happy and safe 4th of July. We are now almost to the break, the All Star Game and soon the home stretch. So who am I paying extra attention to for the second half? These players are listed in no particular order, some good performances and some not so good performances. A very (and that’s underselling it) performance has been put up by one Ronald Acuna Jr who has been nothing short of sensational with 20 home runs and 40 steals while batting .330. Oh by the way, we’re only halfway through the season. Yeah, I had to double check that too. Could he do 40/80? He has more than enough talent and I can’t wait to see how high his ceiling is.

The calendar is almost to July and All Star voting is in full swing. So in the spirit of the season, let’s dive into the fantasy All Stars. As expected Shohei Ohtani is the best thing since sliced bread in daily leagues so you can take advantage of his hitting and pitching. He’s been great on both sides with 28 home runs (best in the league) and 127 punch outs (3rd). We’ve almost become accustomed to this, but it really is wildly impressive what he’s doing.

What is up party people? We all love guys who come out hot but sometimes it takes them a minute to get things going at the plate. Michael Harris II is not only alive he is thriving. Did you know he’s batting over .400 the past two weeks? Not only that he has 4 home runs and 4 doubles in that span. That is a man on a mission. He might be a little streaky but I really hope you held onto him though his rough start because he is a stud and he is about to make you regret it if you dropped him.

What is up party people? We’ve got a new star in the sky. Corbin Carroll has been putting on a clinic. I was very intrigued by him, and I liked him but I will admit he was outside my top 100. Certainly didn’t see him as a top 10 option, but that’s where he is and honestly I’m not sure I can see him really slowing down. He has been doing everything you want from a points league player (power, average and speed). I know I’ve said speed doesn’t help in points but it is a nice bonus. For the love of god, do not sell high, he is about to be first round pick next season.

What is up party people? This has already been an incredibly exciting week for baseball and we’re not even to the weekend yet. Two of the top prospects in baseball have been called up! Jordan Walker reclaims his rightful place in the big leagues while Elly De La Cruz gets his first taste of the show. Ok ok, technically Walker got the call last week but it was after my article got posted and I’ll take any excuse to talk about him. Since his triumphant return he has blasted a bomb but more encouragingly, he has started every game. Big things are in store. As for Elly, the sky really is the limit and he wasted no time showing off what he can do, ripping a double at 112 MPH for his first hit. He has the look of a superstar and I don’t want to throw cold water on him but his strikeout numbers could out a damper on things. Of course he can improve and obviously I want him on my team, but it is something to remember. In all likelihood, it is way too late to add either of them by the time you read this. That being said…

What is up party people. The calendar has moved to June and I guess that means the season is in full swing. Some guys have separated themselves, such as Josh Jung, who may not be available in your league (94% on CBS, 54% on ESPN). That’s a pretty big difference and would indicate that in savvy he is long gone. However, he has been on a roll and merits a mention here just in case he slipped through the cracks. Jung has good power and can keep his batting average up. That’s a winner.

What is up party people, we are back for a brand new edition of points league hotties. Among today’s featured players are guys such as Christopher Morel who has been looking real nice for a bit now. I had hoped he would start the year in the bigs but instead we were treated to a delayed start. Since his elevation has been just smashing bombs. That’s what he can do. I loved him in the preseason, no matter how long ago that was, but I did believe in his talent. I’d really like his strikeouts to come down, but honestly I don’t think that’s about to happen. Like I said, I really wish he would swing and miss a bit less but we can only work with what we have. And what we have is a hot hand. I don’t know how long he can keep up this pace (spoiler alert, he can’t keep getting away with this all season), but I would very much like him to be on my team.

Yo yo yo, what is up party people. Hard to believe we’re closing in on two months into the season. Feels like just yesterday we were in draft mode. Do we know anything at this point? Absolutely not. So now here’s everything I’ve learned so far. Did you know that Yandy Diaz is like super good? The batting average is great but the power is even better. He’s in the early running for fantasy baseball points league MVP. He’s still day to day with that groin injury but the fact that he hasn’t gone to the IL is encouraging. He’s probably feeling a bit under the weather because of the big ole bat he’s been lugging around,

Did anyone else watch the Opening Day action, blink and then suddenly realize that we’re in May? I’ve been watching baseball and even I feel like games have flown by, maybe the pitch clock is getting to me more than I thought. The sample size still isn’t huge but it’s big enough to get an idea of who is who and what is what. I’ll toot my own horn when I’m right, but I like to think that I can also acknowledge my misses as well.  Anyhoo, let’s see who’s hot and what not. Mostly who’s hot. Oh wait, I always like to check out the hotties.
