Iran and Israel are attacking one another. ICE is raiding the streets of Los Angeles. We have protests around the country that are ready for an outbreak at a moment’s notice.

After a one-start audition for the Philadelphia Phillies in May, Mick Abel was recalled from the minors earlier this month and inserted into the starting rotation.

But as I stated above, he has a lot of nice tools in his tool box, including a 96 mph fastball. So let’s dive in and see why Mick Abel is an Up-and-Coming Dynasty Player.

For 800 years, the people of Muncy chipped away at this Max statue. Each rock they chipped off this statue, they named a […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Well, we’re at the point in the season that seems like it’s never going to get here in January. For what seemed like forever, the weeks were just dragging and dragging, and then finally baseball starts, but it seems to be in slow motion as the first stats trickle in, and then before you know […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Rangers bend Ober and brutalized him (4 2/3 IP, 7 ER, ERA at 4.40). The once-every-six-weeks trouncing? The every-month-and-a-half frog-marching? The every 45th-day scrub-stomping? Sucks, man! It is very not good at all! Kinda hard to work up a general sense of appeasement when your fantasy team’s being Abu Ghraib’d until it confesses war crimes, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Most people operate better in their home environment due to comfort and familiarity. I work from home, so the setup of my computer is key.

Please, blog, may I have some more?Promotions are flying fast and furious like Vin Diesel behind the wheel, so we’ll discuss a few key ones before drifting around the bend toward some happenings throughout the minor leagues.
Big news first though of course you’ve seen it by now: Red Sox OF Roman Anthony is on the march. An interesting piece is Alex Cora suggesting OF Wilyer Abreu will require the minimum ten-day stay on the injured list. We’ll finally get to see how they plan to juggle the hitters. Should’ve been doing it earlier and giving guys days off, but hindsight and whatnot.
