Gunner And His Teammates Show The Yanks The O Face

July 7, 2023 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes, Featured | 197 Comments

Our father, who Arte Moreno knows in heaven that’s how he owns the Angels, hallowed be thy name, from kingdom come, from sea to shining sea, we’ve lived to see the day when the Orioles are way better than the Yankees. Luis Severino (2 2/3 IP, 7 ER, ERA at 7.38), the Yanks’ 2nd best pitcher, wouldn’t even make the Orioles’ pitching staff. I am howling like Jack Nicholson in Wolf. The Yankees would basically betroth Kyle Bradish (6 IP, 0 ER, 5 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 3.32) to Rhoda Berra, Yogi’s grand niece, to join their team. The Yankees would give Lou Gehrig’s childhood home, that is currently in a giant glass case at the Steinbrenners’ ranch, for just one of their prospects. Send them Gunnar Henderson (4-for-7, 3 runs, 5 RBIs and his 12th and 13th homer) and the Yankees will give them the baseball fan who ran onto the field to congratulate Chris Chambliss, who has been in a dungeon for the last 45 years. That is their monkey’s paw and the Yanks will give it to the Orioles for just a taste of the Orioles’ success. I am laughing. What a world. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:

Avoiding The Blurbstomp – Morel Support Group

Popularity contests are interesting curios. As someone with a fondness for the science of the most far-fetched lens for criticism, judging anything via “popularity” is asking for a set of results sure to kindle antipathy, if not outright contempt. All data from a popularity contest is anecdotal and drowning in the sweet sauces of Recency and Confirmation Biases. It can also become a beacon for bad-faith bullying conspiracies, where voters band together to award popularity to a person not wanting the spotlight for fear of being mocked.

One Man’s Trash: K-pop

K-pop, aka Korean popular music, has taken the world by storm over the past few years, with groups such as BTS and Blackpink becoming international stars. The proliferation of the genre throughout the world took time, though. One of the OGs was Seo Taiji and Boys, who combined heavy metal, dance and hip hop in the early 1990s to make a dent in the scene. This same process has endured with the impact of Korean-born players in MLB. Shoutout to Chan-Ho Park, who debuted with the Dodgers in 1994. Outside of Park kicking Tim Belcher in the head and giving up two grand slams in the same inning to Fernando Tatis, as a Korean-American, I always felt a sense of pride whenever he took the mound. Since then, 25 players have crossed the Pacific to play in MLB. There haven’t been any Shohei Ohtanis. Hopefully soon, but that doesn’t mean there has been a lack of talent. One such player is Ha-Seong Kim of the San Diego Padres. I’m embarassed that I haven’t written him up until now, especially since Rudy and I have rostered him on our OC for much of the season, but I’m here to give props now.

What’s The Point: The Watch List

What is up party people? Hope everyone had a happy and safe 4th of July. We are now almost to the break, the All Star Game and soon the home stretch. So who am I paying extra attention to for the second half? These players are listed in no particular order, some good performances and some not so good performances. A very (and that’s underselling it) performance has been put up by one Ronald Acuna Jr who has been nothing short of sensational with 20 home runs and 40 steals while batting .330. Oh by the way, we’re only halfway through the season. Yeah, I had to double check that too. Could he do 40/80? He has more than enough talent and I can’t wait to see how high his ceiling is.

Pablo Picasso’s The Royals

The last two weeks I’ve said some variation of, “Pablo Lopez (9 IP, 0 ER, 4 hits, zero walks, 12 Ks, ERA at 3.89) is the biggest Buy Low.” Prolly called him Pab-Lo, but the sentiment remained the same. Buy Low, I said, as I stood below your window, waiting for you to lower your hair so I could climb up and whispering why Pablo Lopez was a Buy Low. His K/9 is 11.2 and his BB/9 is 2.4. I did a Zoom call with those numbers and talked dirty until they called me a Toobin and hung up. His xFIP is 3.45. That’s SHE upside down on a calculator. You need more info here? Really? Everything looked perfect on his perfs, the only thing that was poking out and ruining things was his unlucky LOB%. Once that corrected itself, he was going to be an ace. Ya know one way to avoid a LOB problem? It’s to leave guys on freakin’ base! That was going to be the easiest thing to correct for someone with a 11+ K/9. He is no longer a Buy Low. Hopefully, you got in on Pab-Lo before he became Pab-Properly-Priced. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:

Prospect News: 2023 Futures Game Rosters Reviewed

July 5, 2023 | Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Featured | 17 Comments

The Orioles recalled Colton Cowser, who should make the lineup just about every day from here forward. Baltimore is six games behind Tampa, but the Rays have been ravaged by injury and could probably be caught if a team got hot enough. Cowser should cut into the playing time of Ryan O’Hearn and Aaron Hicks. 

Marlins RHP Eury Perez finally got touched up by a major league lineup, surrendering six earned runs and recording just one out against Atlanta. Best to just let that pass, I think. One thing I noticed this week in building a new Top 100 list: Perez has 47.1 innings pitched and will graduate as the number two prospect to my eyes, second only to Elly De La Cruz. I haven’t been doing this all that long, but I’ve never ranked a pitcher that high. 

My mind is a little bouncy this week in return from vacation, in preparation for the new Top 100, the MLB Draft, and the Futures Game, but I’ll try to stay focused on that last piece as we peruse the Futures Game rosters together. 

American League 

Catchers: Harry Ford (SEA), Edgar Quero (LAA), Tyler Soderstrom (OAK)

Fun group. Ford feels overrated in some ways. He’s hitting .223 with a .357 slugging percentage since June 1, down from his season marks of .244 and .396. He does have eight homers and 14 steals in 71 games as a 20-year-old in High-A, which gives us a lot to dream on. Soderstrom has been trying to hit his way out of Triple-A over that same stretch, slugging .609 with ten home runs since June 1.
