Howdy again y’all. After a little hiatus due to some life stuff (moving is a pain!), I’m back again and have a bright, sparkly new set of second baseman rankings. Unlike previous articles, as a little treat to you for the time away, I’m going to take time to write a little blurb about each […]

Yesterday, the Rockies called up their top prospect, Adael Amador (1-for-3, 1st steal). Listen, I’m not Mr. Prospect. This is well known around these parts. There’s enough players to worry about on MLB rosters, so I go to Itch with my prospect questions. I have a general sense of who is a top prospect. I […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Some weeks the two start options are full of showcase pieces that immediately catch your eye. Some weeks feel like we’re getting the leftovers and it’s hard to get very excited about what’s on offer. Then there’s this week, which feels like a confusing assorted grab bag of options. There are a few of the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Everybody digs the long ball. This week we are digging deep and looking for hitters that have left some power on the table in the first few months of the season. These are the players who, with one mighty swing, can change the course of a game. Between a myriad of statistics such as xHR, HR/FB%, Hard Hit rate, Barrels and more we are searching for those players that still have more in the tank for 2024. Any rookie can tell you that Aaron Judge has power, but did you know that Marcel Ozuna has been in the top 2% of the league in power metrics and also has the slowest home run trot in the majors. That is incredibly useless information, but now you have it and will not forget. That is the depths to which we are about to go. Without further ado let’s dive in to some powerful hitter profiles.
Please, blog, may I have some more?This is a bizarre week of scheduling. Only a handful of teams are playing seven games this week, with nearly as many playing just five games. That’s frustrating from a fantasy perspective and picking streamers, but we still have some teams with some brilliant matchups. There’s one team that has the best week of scheduling […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Jackson Holliday is not on this list. One of the few rules I’ve implemented here is that once you’re a big leaguer in the current season, you’re off the list. Holliday cashed those major league game checks, so he won’t be represented here. Neither will Tyler Black even though I’m writing this part on a […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?If you consider yourself a knowledgeable dynasty league player, then you should not be asking yourself “who is this Nolan Gorman dude of the St. Louis Cardinals?”
But if you are a newer dynasty baseball player, then you may be wondering about Gorman as he has slugged his way into the consciousness of many baseball fans.
A left-handed hitter, Gorman entered the Top 100 prospects lists of Baseball America, MLB Pipeline and Baseball Prospectus in 2019. By the start of the 2022 season, he was ranked 34th by BA, 33rd by MLB and 28th by BP
Gorman broke in with Cardinals in 2022, appearing in 89 games for the Redbirds and was a regular in the team’s lineup last season as he played in 119 games. The second baseman is now in his third season with the Cardinals, so why do I consider him an up-and-coming dynasty player?
Let’s find out.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Luis Matos walked so Heliot Ramos could run. Remember Luis Matos? He had 16 RBIs in five games then disappeared off the face of the Earth. Well, he actually went 2-for-22 first, THEN vanished. Anyway, Matos is old news as Heliot Ramos is making the headlines now in the Bay, he was three for five […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Despite succumbing this week to an ankle injury sustained in his collision with William Contreras, Tommy Pham, patron saint of this piece, can not be escaped. Just when you thought there would be a reprieve, I hit you with him in the intro. But mostly because players like Tommy Pham keep our fantasy teams afloat […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The potato crops will be up soon. Should be sustenance for the next six months. We have someone down by the landing port who rattles off potato dishes like he’s Bubba from Forrest Gump. Potato casserole, crispy potatoes, Hasselback potatoes, mashed potatoes, potato pierogis…And on and on. He started in June and has been going […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I’m not gonna lie, deep league friends, there’s probably not a lot of hope out there in most of your free agent pools if you’re looking to stop the flow of a polluted stream of fantasy disappointment. My good friend-who-I’ve-never-met, Son (who knows quite a bit about unearthing possible fantasy gems!) recently thanked me for […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Welcome back for another edition of Analytics Anonymous. First of all, thanks to everyone who took part in our trivia challenge last time out. There were a number of great guesses and three of you picked the right player – Kyle Tucker. I’ll put your baseball knowledge to the test again later this season but […]
