In this post, which the powers that be (me) have started calling: Searching For Sugar, Man. Not Searching for Sugar Man, the documentary that won the Academy Award. This is putting Paul Skenes into a giant sugar packet and searching for more of that. Could have called it Searching for the Next Paul Skenes, I […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?World Series is over and the election has come and gone, meaning we are fully into the baseball offseason, and we are also knee-deep into the Top Dynasty Keepers for 2025. This week’s rankings focus turns to the second basemen. Overall, these rankings feature a young group of players. Of my top 50 players, 40 […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?1. 3B Charlie Condon | 21 | A+ | 2026
The 6’6” Condon mashed 37 homers in his junior season while slashing .433.556/.1009 despite SEC pitchers doing their best to work around him. Things didn’t go as well after Colorado selected him third overall in this year’s draft. I was a little shocked to see him slash .180/.248/.270 with 34 strikeouts in 25 High-A games. Might create a bit of a buy-low window in First-Year-Player Drafts this winter.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Almost didn’t write this one. Not because he’s not worthy, but Jordan Lawlar received one of these posts in the past, and, honestly, if I wasn’t so lazy, I’d search through past archives and prolly unearth two or three more Jordan Lawlar fantasy outlook posts. In 2022, at the age of 19, he went 16/39 […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Red Sox are going to be goofy sexy this year. Put on your best Santa robe and eye Mrs. Claus as she comes out of the shower and applies charcoal creme in the mirror. That’s what kind of sexy we’re talking about. From the windows to The Wall! From Get Roman to Kristian Campbell to […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?1. SS Jordan Lawlar | 21 | MLB | 2023
The sixth overall pick in the 2021 draft, Lawlar was on schedule to take over the shortstop spot at some point in 2024 but lost a huge chunk of the season to a thumb surgery. He played well when he played in the minors, slashing .318/.417/.482 in 23 games, and I think he’ll be a good value for people who buy early in the redraft season. In 2023, he hit 20 home runs and stole 36 bases in 105 games across two levels.
Please, blog, may I have some more?My favorite type of rookie to draft in redraft leagues is the guy who barely keeps his rookie eligibility. Dylan Crews with 119 ABs in the majors last year went about as hard after that rookie eligibility cap, while still maintaining it, as I can remember. Love that! It shows that the Nats want to […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?Welcome back for another week of Top Dynasty Keepers for 2025.
We’ve taken care of the pitchers and the catchers, so this week my attention turns to the infield and first baseman specifically. Overall, this is a pretty solid position, aided in part by a host of players who also play another position.
In a 12-team or 16-team league, who should be able to find a strong starting first baseman for your team. But there are still some solid players ranked in Tier 3 and there are quite a few players ranked in Tier 4 who have really good upside if you can get past their growing pains
With that said, let’s get on with the rankings.
Please, blog, may I have some more?20) Veterans Who Don’t Produce
I had Justin Verlander in a key spot this year. Held him too long. Impossible to trade him. Finally cut him in part because a commenter helped with a nudge. Verlander’s 2024 is a worst-case scenario, but some variation of it is happening on just about every dynasty team just about every season.
Please, blog, may I have some more?There’s a caveat on my Jasson Dominguez fantasy, where I said he was the top 2025 fantasy baseball rookie for redraft leagues. There’s a huge caveat, ACKSUALLY. Roman Anthony breaks camp and he might be 1A or 1B to Jasson Dominguez, who becomes 1B or 1A or maybe they’re both 1D, and there is no […]
