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 […]

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 […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Tonight’s 10 game slate starts at 7:05 EST and has tons of options that should spread out ownership and allow the wise DFS player to focus on making the best plays based on the stats that have the greatest chance of paying off in a first place finish. These are my favorite slates, but I […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?The beauty of this world is that there are levels to everything. Let’s take a laugh for instance. There’s the laugh after hearing <insert favorite comedian> tell a joke. There’s the nervous laugh like when Tommy asks Henry in Goodfellas, “I’m funny how, I mean funny like I’m a clown, I amuse you?” There’s the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Having spoken (written) extensively on the topic of waiver wire articles, to the point that Baseball HQ published one of my articles in their annual fantasy baseball physical magazine last year on the subject, I have fallen off the wagon outside of Grey’s weekly missives. Granted I don’t do the Patreon thing, so I’m not quite on the razor’s edge of hot infotainment, but I used to absolutely guzzle those waiver articles down like young person doing poppers at a rave type gathering (I enjoy my vague understanding of youth culture drug usage, maybe one day I’ll even watch Euphoria — psyche, I’d rather fingernail my eyeballs to death).
