Hey, what’s up Bud Black, why you dressed as a Smurf with a blue face? Would you prefer I call you Blue Black? Bud Blue? Haha, I’m just joking, I know you’re now and always Bud Black, one of the best managers in baseball, and not someone I ever need to worry about playing someone […]

The Yankees were so shook they missed on Juan Soto, they went out and paid a nutty amount of money with a crazy amount of years for Max Fried. This isn’t about Max Fried. Well, not yet. I will get to him. I mention him because the Yankees could’ve just traded some players and received […]

1. LHP Noah Schultz | 21 | AA | 2026
At 6’9” 220 lbs with a low-three-quarters release, Schultz brings a unique look that has helped him dominate throughout his minor league career. His command feels like an overlooked part of the profile, as he spots his slider extremely well, especially for a pitch with that much movement, which gives him upside beyond his pitch-mix. Despite the dominant outcomes (0.98 WHIP in 88.1 innings across two levels), his changeup has work to do, and his fastball could use some tweaking to play better up in the zone, but I suspect, given his delivery and release, a cutter and sinker will be auditioned at some point, so his fastball could be separated into a few different pitches (4-seam, sinker, cutter) across time, at which point he’d be a nightmare matchup for just about anybody.

I have a few sleeper posts in the hopper that are “write themselves” sleepers. Luis Garcia Jr. is a write itself sleeper. Okay, ChatGPT, give me your best Luis Garcia Jr. sleeper post: “Luis Garcia Jr. is the Nationals’ 2nd baseman who added Jr. to his name after MLB added a rule that said there […]

The year is 2045. All the years after 2038 have been a blur because, seven years prior, I was hit by a flying car, and now my frozen head is in a jar, and the visibility is very poor through formaldehyde. Something no one talks about! “Hey, Charlie, how well can you see in that […]

1. 2B Orelvis Martinez | 23 | MLB | 2024
Power will never be a problem for a 5’11” 200 pound Martinez, whose occasional swing-and-miss issues need to be viewed in the context of playing mostly against older players. He was playing well in 2024 and forced his way into Toronto’s lineup at second base just before getting suspended 80 games for PEDs. He had hit 17 home runs with a 23.8 percent strikeout rate in 74 Triple-A games, but projecting his future is a trickier task now under the PED cloud. I tend to avoid these guys altogether, a strategy I’ve never regretted.

If sites were to take our end-of-the-year Player Rater and just copy it over for their starting ADP, it would likely be better than what they start with. Sure, you’d miss a few guys like Ronald Acuña Jr. who missed most of last year, and maybe you have to move down a few guys like […]

Thanksgiving is behind us, which means two things – the Holiday season is in full swing, and the 2025 Top Dynasty Keepers for 2025 series is in the home stretch.
This week we focus on center fielders, leaving only right fielders and true designated hitters remaining.
For me, the center field position ranks only behind the shortstops when it comes to talent and depth. If you are starting a team from scratch, my first pick is coming from either the shortstop or center field position. This is a position where I am counting on young players to build my team around.
Of the 50 players ranked below, only six of them are 30 or older and a total of 18 ranked players are 25-year-old or younger.
So this is a position that give you a key player for the next half decade or longer.

1. SS Carson Williams | 21 | AAA | 2025
Featuring double-plus defense and easy power from the right side, Williams should be the everyday six for Tampa sooner than later. He posted nearly identical lines through 115 games each of the last two seasons, slashing .257/.356/.497 in 2023 and .256/.352/.469 in 2024. His 142 wRC+ with 20 home runs and 33 steals in Double-A put him on a path to the majors impeded mostly by the organization’s machinations. Sure, he strikes out a bit much and could benefit from a short stretch in Triple-A to get heated up, but he might be able to change the playbook with a spicy spring.

I’ve mentioned before (and will mention again multiple times) that I do my own projections, but I check to see what Steamer is doing for projections, because we partner with them and it would be A) Irresponsible not to check. B) Stupid. C) There’s no C. D)umb E) Stupid, dumb and irresponsible were kinda the […]
