As we roll into the weekend, it looks like another calm FAAB period is on the horizon. Pitching will be tough to come by. Most two-start pitchers are either heavily rostered or have black eyes.

It took almost three months but Vinnie Pasquantino is finally in the bigs. He will draw most people’s attention and if you’ve been saving your FAAB budget, I think it’s time to drop the hammer. Kenley Jansen is on the IL with an irregular heartbeat. Atlanta’s bullpen situation is something to look at this week, […]

June 25, 2022 | 2022 Fantasy Baseball | 5 Commentsby: Barrelman
A slow week other than a couple of notable call-ups and activations. Should go without saying but all 10/12 team adds should be sought out in 15’s or deeper. Notable team schedules: Eight games: Guardians, Twins, Blue Jays Seven games: Yankees, Athletics, Pirates, Mariners, Rays Five games: Diamondbacks, Tigers, Mets, Giants It is […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?MoreIt’s been a painful week for injuries, no pun intended. Anthony Rendon, Ozzie Albies, Liam Hendriks, Jorge Polanco, Jeremy Pena, and Yadier Molina have all landed on the IL to name a few. Luckily, we have an interesting mix of streamers and call-ups this week to help fill in if you find yourself short-staffed. At […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?For It’s looking like a quiet week in FAAB as we head into the weekend. The player who will likely draw the most attention is Gabriel Moreno. There are plenty of solid streaming options though. The Guardians, Rockies, Padres, Nationals and Phillies have favorable schedules if you are in need of a bat to stream. […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?We aren’t quite to the dog days of summer but this week might just be the dog days of FAAB. Edward Cabrera will likely be the highest dollar bid in most leagues. I’m not sure I agree with that. The most innings he’s thrown in a season is 100.1, back in 2018. Moreover, while he […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?First and foremost, I wish all of you a fun and safe Memorial Day. Hard to believe that we are almost done with two months of the season and moving officially into summer. We have an insane week of games coming up. The Cubs play 9 times (insert Ed Rooney.gif), while Detriot, Milwaukee, Minnesota, and […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?This week is not as exciting as the past couple weeks of major call-ups but there are still some useful options out there for us to dig into. 10/12 Team Adds Tyler Anderson (LAD/SP) – Anderson has allowed more than 2 ERs, just once this season.

We are almost halfway through May, where has the time gone? I hope all of you are off to a hot start this year. If not, just remember this is marathon season. It may be a small sample of just me, but after 3 weeks of the season, 14 of my 22 teams were in […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?MLB has seen an interesting list of players called up this week. The fact is, most rookies fail, especially on their first shot in the bigs. Tread carefully when putting in bids for these guys. They can be a tremendous boon to your team but can be a large waste of a FAAB budget just […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It’s important to remember that April is not a good month for hitting. Add in what appears to be more monkey business with the baseballs, we shouldn’t be hitting the panic button yet. However, these stats still count and we must do what we can to be maximizing matchups, playing hot hands when possible, and […]
