After a rough showing two weeks ago, we bounced back last week. Bryce Elder was a terrible pick as one of our streamers, but he was really the only dud in that piece. It’s ironic because it’s the Rockies who got to him, because we’ll keep riding streamers against them for the remainder of the […]

Graduated from Stash List #5: House Party or Moore Is Better: Roman Anthony, Christian Moore, Jacob Misiorowski
Note: Anyone promoted during the current season is ineligible for the stash list.
1. Reds RHP Chase Burns (22, AAA)
Made his Triple-A debut this week and walked four batters but still surrendered just two runs in 5.1 innings and struck out seven Iowa Cubs. I wouldn’t give him more than five starts at the level, and I doubt the Reds will. They paid the man $9.25 million to sign on the dotted line. No good reason to spend a pile of pitches in the minors.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Marlins backstop slash heart throb Agustin Ramirez continued his impressive rookie campaign Friday night going three for five with his ninth and tenth home runs of the season, and now leads all rookies in bombs. This was an absolute shot that game in the first inning, and he added another 450-footer in the third inning […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Well, the starting pitcher injury hammer has come to slam itself on all of our fantasy rosters. Our player pools out there lost pitchers all across the spectrum from aces (Corbin Burnes, Pablo Lopez) to midrotation stalwarts (Ryan Weathers) to hot up-and-comers (Jackson Jobe) to guys we were stashing to help down the stretch (Shane […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?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. Nevertheless, fantasy lineups must be set and leagues must be won. I’m confident World War 3 will not break out (yet), but who knows? […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?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.
For fantasy owners who are starving for starting pitching, which means everyone, Abel is an interesting pitcher. He has great tools, but he hasn’t really been able to put those tools together to produce a dominant season. Over five minor league seasons, Abel is 23-24 with a 4.44 ERA and 1.41 WHIP.
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.
Please, blog, may I have some more?In the year 1225, there was a 700-foot statue of Max Muncy in what is now commonly referred to as Lithuania. The town’s name was Muncy and the statue was named Max. 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. When I travel, the discombobulation is at epic levels. Baseball players are known to be creatures of habit, or members of the Church of Superstition. They are the same. One […]
