In case your offseason of binge drinking and crack smoking (in case Andy Dick is a reader), a quick reminder the Royals develop pitching well. That bumps up against being a cheap-ass organization and Noah Cameron looks like he’s been ready since 2024. Alas, he’s here now and last year he went 138 1/3 IP […]

Alex Bregman signed with the Cubs and this is legit a brain puzzler. I’m gobsmacked! I’m besides myself and the me next to me is wearing the Riddler’s leotards with question marks all over them. I’ve been hoodwinked and bamboozled! C’mon, thesaurus, lay on me another one! I’m speechless. Here: Uhh. Dot dot dot. What? […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?1. SS Sebastian Walcott | 20 | AA | 2027
Walcott signed for $3.2 million in 2023 out of the Bahamas and climbed swiftly through the system until 2025 when he got a full season to settle in at Double-A, where he slashed .255/.355/.386 with 13 home runs and 32 stolen bases in 124 games. The line might not leap off the page, but he was ten percent better than league average playing against guys who were 4.9 years older than him, on average. That’s future superstar stuff from a kid who’s already 6’4” and 190 pounds with double plus raw power and easy speed alongside smooth actions on the infield.

Please, blog, may I have some more?Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the second installment of the 2026 Dynasty Rankings.
Last week I knocked out players ranked from 400-301. This week I tackle another huge chunk of players: 300-201.
Being such a large group, here is a quick breakdown of the positions and ages of the players:
RP: 21 | SP: 19
1B: 6 | 2B: 4 | 3B: 8 | SS: 4 | IF: 8
RF: 3 | CF: 4 | LF: 4 | OF: 9
IF/OF: 6
Ages 20-24: 17
Ages 25-29: 52
Ages 30-34: 27
Ages 35+: 6
As you can see, there are many relief pitchers in this grouping, and trying to say who will break out and who will regress is always a guessing game. I believe these are the best of the middle relievers with a few closers sprinkled in as well.
Please, blog, may I have some more?1. OF Lazaro Montes | 21 | AA | 2027
At 6’5” 215 pounds, Montes has slimmed down without sacrificing power as he’s climbed the organizational ladder. In 131 games split almost evenly between High-A and Double-A, the big lefty smashed 32 home runs, stole seven bases and slashed .241/.354/.504 with a 29 percent strikeout rate. The strikeouts have invited a fair share of doubters, but I think Montes will make enough impact on contact to become a mainstay in fantasy lineups.
Please, blog, may I have some more?You know what kind of fantasy baseball sleeper Ryan Pepiot is? A lay-up. Now it’s up to me to prove that. Once upon a time, Itch placed Ryan Pepiot in the top 100 prospects. There was talk when he was on the Dodgers, as a prospect, he might be an ace in the making. Here […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Oh, I absolutely wanted to give up on Jack Leiter. [snapping my fingers and shaking my tailfeather] What have you done for me lately, boy? What have you done lately for me? Nothing? Then I must ask you to leave. Goodbye. That’s how I felt, when I looked at his name. Just his name, by […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?1. SS Leo De Vries | 19 | AA | 2027
We don’t often see a prospect like De Vries get traded before his 20th birthday, if at all, so it was kind of shocking to see him moved for a reliever, even one as dominant as Mason Miller. Sacramento pushed the switch hitter to Double-A at age 18, where he slashed .281/.359/.551 with five home runs and two stolen bases in 21 games. He even showed plus plate skills: 9.7% walks against 19.4% strikeouts. It’ll be interesting to see how they time this out because he’s got a legitimate case to open the season in Triple-A at 19, an age he’ll stay until October 11th this year. Seems probably we’ll see him in the majors before he turns 20, and that’s a pretty consistent predictor of sustained stardom. Incredible work on the trade market by Sacramento in my opinion.

Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy New Year, everyone, and welcome to the first installment of the Top 400 Dynasty Players for 2026. Over the next two weeks I will take two giant bites out of the countdown as I rank the players from 400-301 this week and then 300-201. After that will come bite sized looks of the final 200 players.
When it comes to these rankings, I know some of you will shake your head when it comes to certain players.
I have my biases and a system in how I evaluate fantasy players – and have done so for decades – and you have your biases. That is what makes rankings so interesting and why you will likely look at a host of rankings as a way to gauge how you view a certain player and how others view a certain player.
So here is a quick rundown about these rankings.
