All hail The Boob Itch. Or Boo, bitch, if you don’t have him. Could this incredible season from Kris Bubic be because The Boob Itch is the only shift still allowed in the majors? Strap in before The Boob Itch goes strapless, and let me slide into his DMs and talk about that slider! He’s got a SWEEPER and GYRO and I’m hungry for more SHAVED MEAT! The Boob Itch’s low arm slot helps his silly 92 MPH play sexy! His new slider drops 10 inches less than his curve! This is important because it creates deception! 93 MPH paint plays and not just for speed painting at county fairs! These are snippets of things said about Kris Bubic in 2023. Pitcher growth is rarely linear. All of those things were right, but Bubic wasn’t ready. Dot dot dot. Yet. Yesterday, Kris Bubic went 6 1/3 IP, 1 ER, 7 baserunners, 9 Ks with his ERA at 1.66, and he showed again he is now ready, as he continues to dominant every time out. His fastball and change returned 50% Whiff rates and he is the deception king, like the rest of the Royals–Oh, crap, are we not paying attention enough to the Royals’ pitching coach? The results are insane for guys who are throwing somewhat ho-hum stuff. The Boob Itch’s peripherals are saying the break out is finally real, and The Boob Itch isn’t for snickering anymore! As long as The Boob Itch stays healthy and never gets scratched. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:

Rich Hill – Signed with the Royals. If he’s called up, Royals would be his 14th team, tying Edwin Jackson’s MLB record. Rich Hill’s 13 previous teams are Dodgers, Red Sox, Cubs, Seattle Pilots, Highlanders, Waldenbooks, the Minnesota Lakers, the Laser-Disc-Won’t-Dies, the California Raisins, the Hogan Family with the Sandy Duncans (2 teams), the Dale Carnegie Influencers, and the Orioles.

Framber Valdez – 8 IP, 1 ER, 7 baserunners, 7 Ks, ERA at 3.54. As good, if not better than the lede, but I’ve been meaning to cover The Boob Itch like Neosporin since the 1st week of April. He kept being outshined, but not tonight. Tonight, we let The Boob Itch talk.

Isaac Paredes – 2-for-4 and his 5th homer. Doode is overdue — overdoode? — to get hotter than the sun, then maybe Yordan can return and join him in Sunnyville, which is not what Elizabeth Holmes called her boyfriend’s apartment. (Deep cut!)

Jeremy Pena – 2-for-4 and his 6th homer, hitting .294. It’s so nice how well he’s taken to the leadoff spot. Too bad it seems to have had the opposite affect on Altuve.

Ben Lively – Hit the IL with flexor tendon strain. More like had Been Lively.

Jose Ramirez – 2-for-4, 2 runs and his 7th homer, hitting .295. I just decided he’s a HOFer. That’s it. His 7th homer in 2025 convinced me.

Logan Allen – 6 IP, 0 ER, 4 baserunners, 6 Ks, ERA at 3.70. Streamonator hates his next one, but Streamonator also hates Allen in general, because, well, he’s not that good.

Yandy Diaz – Placed on the restricted list with a passport issue. Bro, if this is because of the Real ID, I swear to God, man. That shizz is so annoying! I need to go to the DMV why exactly? To get a Real ID? How about you GET REAL!? I just went in January to renew my license and I asked them point-blank, do I need to get a Real ID? And they told me, “Nah, you good, homey.” I am not good! I have to go back! Sorry, I am very mad at this stupid thing. No one inconveniences Grey Albright, Fantasy Master Lothario (don’t abbreviate it)!

Shane Baz – 4 2/3 IP, 3 ER, ERA at 5.02. Raspberries lips–Actually, Bazberries lips. Can’t continue to start that. You gave him to mid-May. Unless you’re in a deep league, stop losing matchups, due to Baz.

Jonathan Aranda – 1-for-4, 2 RBIs and his 6th homer, hitting .339. “She’s my cherry pie!” That’s me singing Warrant to Aranda’s Statcast page.

Junior Caminero – 1-for-5, 4 RBIs and his 8th homer, hitting .247. He’s on pace for 30 homers. That’s what he’s going to do. 30 homers isn’t bad. I’m talking to the person who asked about dropping him.

Danny Jansen – 2-for-3, 2 runs and his 2nd homer. I figured he’d either be hurt or great, not healthy and dull. Boy was I wrong!

Jeff Hoffman – 1/3 IP, 5 ER, ERA at 6.05. Oh, he’s absolutely been hurt for a good two weeks now. No doubt about it. I grabbed Yimi, it might be Chad Green.

Bo Bichette – 2-for-4, 2 runs, 3 RBIs and his 3rd homer, hitting .286. If Bo Bichette hits more homers than Gunnar, I will find an Uber to drive me off a cliff. It’s the final frontier and all, but I’m not going alone.

Jose Berrios – 5 1/3 IP, 5 ER, 8 baserunners, 4 Ks, ERA at 4.33. What a way to start a two-start week. Between Bichette and Berrios, the Jays really hate me. Singing, “Hate me now! Please stop now!” Wait, that’s a Diddy song, I shouldn’t be singing–[The Cancel Police break down door] No! I realized I shouldn’t sing it! Please!

Daulton Varsho – 2-for-5, 4 RBIs and his 4th and 5th homer, hitting .222. That’s in 10 games. El oh el. And ess see aitch–motato.

Ernie Clement – 2-for-4 and his 1st homer, hitting around .450 in the last week. He gets hot for two weeks a year. This is one of those weeks.

Kodai Senga – 5 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 8 baserunners, 7 Ks, ERA at 1.22. Gonna suck next year when I’m back in on him and he gives a 5+ ERA and is out for four months with a rotator cuff injury. Oh well, at least I’m ready for it!

Brett Baty – 2-for-3 and his 5th homer, and 3rd homer in three games, four homers in four games and looks to be fixed from whatever was wrong with him in the first five weeks. Can I guarantee that? No, the Pope’s a White Sox fan, not Mets. But there’s little reason to not grab Baty, just in case.

Zach Neto – 1-for-4 and his 6th homer, and 2nd homer in two games. Man, he’s been a godsend since returning from injury. Neato, Neto.

Matthew Lugo – 1-for-1, 2 RBIs and his 2nd homer. Don’t usually talk about pinch-hit homers, but his 1st homer was a pinch-hit homer and now there’s two. Why was he called up to never play? Haven’t a clue. A scout told me once the Angels can’t coach-up players, and I’m reminded of this now because Lugo had a 29% strikeout rate in the minors and 40% in the majors. So, he seems to have power and he stole 16 bags last year in the minors, but he has zero contact.

Jose Soriano – 7 IP, 0 ER, 7 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 3.46. He’s sitting on a 7.3 K/9 and a 4 BB/9, but it’s working because it’s coming with 62.1% GB. Bit of a Snoriano, but can’t get burned easily with that many ground balls.

Fernando Tatis Jr. – 1-for-3, 2 runs, 2 RBIs and his 11th homer, 2nd homer in two games, and last night’s a walk-off, the first of his career. Fun the Jewels! Fun the Jewels fast!

Kenley Jansen – 0 IP, 2 ER, ERA at 6.56. We might be in the middle of a closerpocalypse and not even realize it.

Josh Jung – 3-for-4, 4 RBIs and his 5th and 6th homer, as he now hits third. I feel like Stan Gable in Revenge of the Nerds when he sees his girlfriend on the pie tin. “That three hole is supposed to be Josh H. Smith’s pie!”

Chris Martin – Finally, got a save opportunity. Happy trombone! And left with elbow tightness. Sad trombone! Guess it’s back to Jacob Webb, or even Robert Garcia.

Jack Leiter – 6 IP, 1 ER, 5 baserunners (3 BBs), 5 Ks, ERA at 4.34. Streamonator loved this because there was nothing not to love. It was the easiest matchup in baseball. Yes, easier than White Sux.

Pete Crow-Armstrong – 2-for-3, 2 RBIs and his 11th homer. Ian Happ’s being Wally Pipp’d out of the leadoff spot.

Ben Brown – 5 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 5 hits, zero walks, 6 Ks, ERA at 4.75. His peripherals are far outweighing his ERA. 10.8 K/9, 3.5 BB/9, 12 K/9’s in the minors year after year, and right now is being extremely unlucky in every way. His numbers are eye-opening and I also don’t know if he stays in the rotation when Shota returns. That’s the caveat.

Kyle Stowers – 1-for-4 and his 8th homer, hitting .287. For what it’s Cronenworth, I like Stowers, I think he’s rosterable, he’s still kind of a .220 hitter. Getting by a bit on his good looks and insane BABIP. Mostly insane BABIP.

Connor Norby – 2-for-4, 2 runs and his 2nd homer. Now you won’t hear me say anything negative about my preseason sleeper, Norby.

Drake Baldwin – 3-for-4, 3 runs, 2 RBIs and his 4th homer, and 2nd homer in eight days, and, as I began to write this week’s Buy/Sell for Patreon, I noticed Baldwin on the 7-day Player Rater has been solid.

Spencer Schwellenbach – 7 IP, 2 ER, 6 baserunners, 3 Ks, ERA at 3.31. Elias Sports Bureau said, “No one has ever said Spencer Schwellenbach without sounding like Sean Connery.”

Pierce Johnson – 1 IP, 0 ER, and his 1st save, and his 2.30, and his 1st save. As much as I’d like to coronate him like a piercing mall kiosk coronates a Prince Albert, Raisel had worked the previous few days.

CJ Abrams – 1-for-4 and his 5th homer. Likely a bit of a Buy Low, since he hasn’t been bad, he just hasn’t been enough, missing time with an injury.

Matt McLain – 1-for-4 as he was dropped to the eight hole, hitting .168. I’ll be sure to bring it up with BDon during our next pod.

Elly De La Cruz – 2-for-4 and his 7th homer, hitting .250. Hasn’t even had a hot streak yet this year and he’s a top 15-ish player on the Player Rater. Praise E’sus.

Emilio Pagan – 1 2/3 IP, 3 ER, ERA at 4.05. Reds made the mistake of letting him pitch two innings, and past midnight and now he’s a pumpkin. Everyone in the Reds’ pen looks better than Pagan, but his usage also did him no favors. I’d guess Tony Santillan would see first crack if Pagan is removed, but I doubt he’s removed. He made a deal with the devil. It’s right there in his name.

Miguel Vargas – 2-for-5, 2 runs, 3 RBIs and his 3rd homer. He put the stake through Pagan’s heart and now Pagan is a zombie. Good work, Vargas.

Willy Adames – 2-for-4, 2 runs, 2 RBIs and his 5th homer. “Hey, what’s the largest blender they sell? We could get rid of him that way–Hold on! He’s alive! Adames moved!”

Christian Koss – 2-for-4, 4 RBIs and his 1st homer. Chris Koss makes you jump, jump.

Jung Hoo Lee – 2-for-5, 3 RBIs and his 5th homer, hitting .288. He’s cooled off a lot in May. Makes sense. That’s how weather works in San Fran.

Robbie Ray – 6 IP, 3 ER, 10 baserunners, 9 Ks, ERA at 3.04 vs. Brandon Pfaadt – 4 IP, 4 ER, ERA at 3.73. This matchup was billed as, “Pfaadt/Ray, who I think was in The Sugar Hill Gang.”

Corbin Carroll – 2-for-5, 2 runs and his 14th homer, hitting .285. So fun rostering Corbin, but because I can’t ever be happy I’m also very annoyed I don’t have him in every league.

Jacob Wilson – 4-for-5, 4 RBIs and his 4th and 5th homer, hitting .363. I said he could be a cheap Arraez, and crickets. Even crickets weren’t hearing it.

Jeffrey Springs – 7 IP, 1 ER, 8 baserunners, 4 Ks, ERA at 4.27. You ever see you started a guy and can’t believe you did it and it worked out? That was me with Springs last night. I really might have a problem with two-start starters. I’m addicted! Streamonator at least kinda likes his next one. A little.

Nick Kurtz – 2-for-5, 2 runs and his 1st career homer, hitting .281. Perfect, just as you finally dropped him.

JJ Bleday – 2-for-5, 2 RBIs and his 6th homer, 2nd homer in two games. His 9th inning homer was a ho-hum dinger, but I still believe, still believe–Wait, that’s Stephen Vogt. Well, I still believe in Bleday too.

Roki Sasaki – Hit the IL, dealing with arm soreness. At first, Dodgers were unsure about an IL stint. Ha, sure. Dodgers making up arm injuries, “Yeah, his arm hurts, but maybe it’s something, maybe it’s not, depends if Ben Casparius can throw five innings.” “Ben–who? Wait, what does that have to do with Roki’s injury?” Oh, nothing.

Landon Knack – 4 2/3 IP, 5 ER, ERA at 5.89. “Not pitching.” What having a Knack for, I don’t know yet.

Bryan Woo – 6 1/3 IP, 0 ER, 4 hits, zero walks, 6 Ks, ERA at 2.84. Crazy how good pitching shuts down good hitting every time. Woo, sir, Woo.

Max Fried – 5 IP, 1 ER, 6 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 1.11. Hello, Regression Fairies, over here, sweeties! You afraid of your waistline so you don’t want to go near Fried?

DJ LeMahieu – 0-for-1 as he was activated from the IL. Smile like Aaron Boone is smiling today, being able to play a vet who hasn’t been good for five years.

Oswaldo Cabrera – Diagnosed with a fractured ankle. It hurts just typing that. Woof. Long live Jorbit! Sorry, that’s not expressing excitement for Jorbit, that’s Jorbit Vivas’s name.

Spencer Torkelson – 1-for-3, 2 runs and his 11th homer. Show me what you’re Torking with!

Kristian Campbell – 1-for-5, 2 RBIs and his 5th homer. Don’t let the Soup get hot!

Alex Bregman – 1-for-6 and his 10th homer. I love Bregman this year. That is something I never thought I’d say. I also kinda like Buxton. Which is also weird.

Javier Baez – 2-for-4, 3 runs, 6 RBIs and his 4th and 5th homer, hitting .319. If you would’ve told me you were a time traveler from the future, and one player from the 2016 Cubs roster was now good, I’d say, “Sure, Schwarber,” and you’d say, “No, someone else,” and I’d say, “Okay, Contreras–” and you’d say, “Stop picking the wrong guys who are obvious! I’m asking between Baez, Rizzo or Bryant, now pick one.” Then I would’ve said, “None, it’s Schwarber.” And you would’ve said, “I came from the future and I have to deal with this nonsense? Are you dumb?”

Well Holmes got shafted.

Keep the game going despite downpour

Force Holmes to throw meatballs since anything else is a ball apparently

Watch as the batter (who shouldve struck out twice) smashes a meatball (that holmes was forced to throw) out for a 2 run shot

Alfonso Marquez and his crew of bozos strike again

Id take Grisham. I am not a believer but not a doubter and id jump on a player for a RP I could get 80% value on off WW (in my opinion).

Grisham is having career high on some things. His ISO isnt sustainable but his BABIP is league average. The rest seem to be career highs but not absurdly so. FB% up, EV up, etc. Nothing screams fall apart based on all of these but there is no way I believe this level of power is sustainable.

I am a Canadian so maybe this is a stupid question. Hold on for reference I’m sitting here eh thinkin aboot jake burger. Cuz I felt hungry and I listened to my fantasy daddy’s advice of grabbing him. Grabbing burger gave me a lil tickle. Anyway don’t be creeped out by fantasy dad… I have many dad’s. My handyman is known as my house daddy, mechanic is car daddy and so on. so obviously ur fantasy daddy. FD! This is better then FML I hope. Anyway back to my question. As I look at Texas lineup tonight I see joc P batting 3rd. I think u mentioned this, but tell me why. Why does he deserve this with a .126 average and 1 hr on the season.

I don’t understand didnt moneyball cover this? I feel like a .244 obp is pretty bad too. Hmmmm

Grey,

I generally don’t like bench bats (FOMO); currently have 1 that has to sit out nightly, am thinking of trading my worst guy (of these good guys) for a good SP.

1) Think I should try to trade Buxton (gonna get hurt again this year?), Adames, Abrams or Suzuki?
2) and is someone like Bubic good enough to make that trade for or try for better?

Thanks!

Hi Grey,

1. Yesterday was another good reminder for me that who you sit is as important as who you decide to start. Obviously,I am so glad that I sat Baz. Although, his next start is at Miami, it seems very prudent to sit him in his upcoming. Am I being too conservative?
2. I am probably also being too conservative to sit Warren at Seattle. He has only gone more than 5 innings once out of his last eight starts He went 7 innings on the road at the A’s in his last start. Would you also sit him at Seattle?

Thanks so much!!

10 Team Dynasty 6×6 OBP/SLG and QS/K-BB. I won the league handily last year but had to make a lot of tough decisions to get under the $260 Salary Cap prior to the draft. I mostly had to gut my pitching so I thought I would indulge you in an exercise to substantiate what you say every year about how much to invest on the pitching side. I apologize if this is a waste of your time but I feel like it demonstrates the fluctuation that occurs each year with pitchers.

Here are the moves I made in the offseason – I am curious to hear what you think of each of them. I would argue most of them were not great for me at the time but have turned out okay because of injuries to the guys I traded away. In my defense, some of them were salary dumps:
 
1.    George Kirby ($16) for the 4th overall
2.    Logan Webb ($13) for Matt McLain ($5)
3.    Riley Austin ($21) for the 1st overall
4.    Jose Altuve ($42) for Brandon Pfaadt ($1)/26th overall
5.    Glasnow ($24)/Baz ($13)/D Williams ($9)/Moreno ($9) for Crews ($5)/2nd overall
6.    Pete Alonso ($21)/Josh Jung ($9) for Garrett Crochet ($1)/James Wood ($5)
7.    4th overall for 10th overall/Spencer Schwellenbach ($3)
 
I was confident enough in my pitching to trade Chris Sale ($9) and Michael Harris II ($11) for Yordan Alvarez ($21) a couple of weeks ago and then Gilbert got hurt so I became a little worried but I am leading five of the six pitching categories and 3rd in saves with these pitchers:

I just looked at the MIN game. I thought I’d be getting a qs and a w from ober. Nope. I dont mean to sound like a broken record but it’s been a struggle for ober. 102 pitches and cant get through the 5th. The O’s didn’t manage to score against any of the relievers. He may have got his era back to respectability but he has taken a step back. K rate down, velocity down, whip hurting us, etc

Alright, different way to frame this. We have limited moves, and we start 2 at each IF position. Here’s my situation:

SS: T. Turner, Lindor
2B: Gimenez, Bogaerts (Lux on bench, available at UTIL, Bogaerts can slide over to SS)
3B: Vientos, McMahon (Ortiz on bench, available at UTIL)

In this situation, would you prioritize a claim for Lee (3B/SS) or Baty (3B/2B)? We do have Util spots, but more worried about overall coverage in a limited moves league.

A few ways, but the most basic is that his Razzball stats page (https://razzball.com/player/805779/Jacob+Wilson/) still has him at 3 HRs, and he of course hit two last night to get to 5.

(The only reason I know is I checked him yesterday because I included him in a trade proposal, then after last night’s game I quickly withdrew it. I was curious to see how that one terrific game affected his spot on the Player Rater — he was 55th yesterday, I think, and after going 4 for 5 with 2 HRs and 4 RBIS, he fell to 63rd!!!)

We have to start a rookie pitcher, and I had Sasaki without a safety net. Was hoping Zebby would be up by now, but no luck. I was scanning waivers for a temporary replacement, and i stumbled on Chad Patrick. Know anything about him? His numbers look decent, but I had never heard of him. You mentioned him in your daily notes on 04/20 after a good start, but I have no idea if I should trust him in the short term.

This is the first year in a long time that I’ve been wrong about almost everything in my fantasy baseball league. Injuries, underperforming players, poor roster additions, doubting players who are excelling, bad start/sit decisions, and bad luck have plagued me. It feels like a fantasy football season. Yet, I’m still mid-pack, which shows the beauty of fantasy baseball—there’s time to improve or, in my case, repeat the same mistakes.

Good morning Grey!

Have some potential roster moves to make here- 10 tm redraft QS and OBP H2H league.

1) Baz is not making it through the lineup more than once effectively and is showing poor sequencing and location to boot, despite having good stuff. Peripherals are in the toilet. Almost never would choose to start him at his minor league home this summer. Move on for one of these/stream given the options?:

Eflin, Ronel Blanco, Wacha, May, Abbott, Leiter

2) What’s the proper order for this group: Doyle Bryan Reynolds, Kurtz- no particular position or stat need for my squad.

1. Xander Bogaerts was dropped and I scooped him up. I have no concerns despite his slow start, given his track record. Do you?
2. Missed out on Bubic because of his -$16.1 on the Streamonator, but am happy because this was a great start against a tough lineup in a tough stadium. Opened my eyes and gave me confidence in starting for other tougher starts. Would you sell high or ride the wave?
3. What are the the odds that Baez is just healthy now? He said he got his surgery to repair an injury that he’s been suffering from for years. Maybe not his prior levels, but could we get somewhere just below his best seasons?

Someone should do a study on people who make a smart pickup and then sit the guy the first week. Are they concerned that the player needs a week to get used to his new team, finding a new place to live etc. These people need to look up the tale of Joel Youngblood, who switched dugouts during a DH and played for both teams in the same day. Picking up a Schmotato and sitting him is probably more common than you think in hone leagues, even decent ones. Maybe there is grant money available for this. I picked up Grisham, by my gorilla math, he should hit 5 or 6 homers in Colorado next week.

Hi Grey! How much faith do you have in Neto? A guy offered me Neto, Luzardo and Stott for Lindor, Schwelly, and Mize in my 16 team mixer (my current 2b is little louieangel). I want to try to talk him out of Schwellenback and into Bibee, and the trade analyzer loves loves loves Neto but is that just some weird computer error?

No to the trade or no to it being a computer error or both?

Baez hit his 5th HR as well.

Baz was great for a couple innings. Started losing velocity after that. That’s what Buck said, anyway.

Would you drop Vientos/Heliot/Doyle for Volpe? If so, which one?
&
Luis Garcia vs Bogaerts? Or who cares?

So Bryce Miller admits that he has been battling arm and back soreness. Seattle just keeps rolling him out there. I dont understand it.

All their pitchers are hurt, they have no one else to call up. He probably goes on the IL when Kirby comes back
