It is unbelievable how good Ronald Acuna Jr. is after tearing a second ACL. In the 13 games since his return, Acuna Jr. has four home runs while slashing .333/.418/.625. He has not stolen a base yet and his strikeout rate is slightly above his career high (30.9%) but who cares when he has a […]

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder slash infielder slash slugger slash heart throb Addison Barger hit his seventh home run Friday night, a 2-run shot in the fourth inning to bring the Jays within one run. Well done! Just like I like my Bargers. Well, not really. I prefer a medium rare. Or rare like finding this […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I guess all of the GMs in Major League Baseball got together and decided that this would be a good week to start calling up some of their top prospects.
The Astros added Jacob Melton to their roster and the White Sox have decided Kyle Teel should actually stop wasting his talent in Triple-A and instead can start wasting it on a Chicago team that is on pace to lose 111 games (but at least that is better than the 121 they lost last year!)
Then there is Jac Caglianone. Drafted with the sixth overall pick last July, the Royals recalled him from the minors earlier this week and instantly slotted him into the lineup.
The move makes a ton of sense as the Royals have the fourth fewest runs scored in the majors, with only the juggernaut teams of Texas, Pittsburgh and Colorado scoring fewer runs. The hope is for Caglianone to provide an instant spark to the offense.
Let’s dive in and see why the Royals think this will happen.

So, if I said, “(player’s name) was going to be a 2025 fantasy baseball sleeper,” I made note of it with a slash. By the time I was done, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hello, deep league and deep league-adjacent friends! Last week we did something a little nutty and looked only at players who were owned in 1% of leagues, so this week we’ll veer into the middle of the pond and take a quick look at some guys who may be available in medium-deep leagues. Everyone on […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?Lotta movement to cover this week. The Royals lineup looks pretty different these days with Jac Caglianone beefing up the middle. Vinnie P is heating up with the weather, posting a 167 wRC+ over his last 16 games. Maikel Garcia and Bobby Witt Jr. are both in rhythm right now, so this team could go on a nice summer run. They’re 32-and-29 despite scoring six fewer runs than the Chicago White Sox this season.
