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 […]

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 […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?So, I hinted at this in my Jasson Dominguez fantasy when I called him my top rookie for 2025 fantasy baseball. I said Itch gave me two rookies to choose from for the top 2025 fantasy baseball prospect and it was between a hitter and pitcher for him. He sided with Jackson Jobe. I went […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?1. SS JJ Wetherholt | 22 | A | 2026
The seventh overall pick out of West Virginia, Wetherholt was in the running to be the number one pick but lost time to a hamstring injury and may have slipped a little due to the relative weakness of the Big 12 Conference. A left-handed hitter at 5’10” 190 lbs, he features double-plus contact skills along with plus power and speed. The Cubs fan in me was disappointed to see Wetherholt land in St. Louis because I think he was a steal at the seven spot. Sure, the conference creates a question or two, but Wetherholt has been good in other settings: Team USA, the Cape Cod League and pro ball now after slashing .295/.405/.400 in 29 Low-A games.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Starting about dozen years ago, I’d highlight the top rookie in all of baseball coming into the year and it was super obvious for about a decade. From Mike Trout through Corbin Carroll, I nailed each one, but everyone sorta did, if I’m being humble. Last year, I said, “There’s no top rookie for fantasy […]
