PLAYOFFS…? You read that right; the fantasy playoffs are right around the corner. For those of us who partake in those formats, we share a brotherhood of excitement and heartache. How many of us have trailed all week, just to pull out a win on Sunday? How many have been on the opposite side of […]

Mariners play in an awful stadium. Catchers don’t hit for power–[suddenly something blocks the sun] Is that an eclipse? My “Is There An Eclipse Happening Right Now Or Am I Standing In A Shadow” app says there’s no eclipse but I’m also on a treeless street. Nowhere a house. There’s no shadows here! What on […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?This week brings us what may be the largest selection of choices all season. However, that is something of a mixed bag. Considering how solid last week’s group was, that probably shouldn’t be surprising. So while there is a good batch of appealing options, there are a lot that are not so great. Some sound […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?We are entering the home stretch of the 2025 fantasy baseball season. It feels like the right time to evaluate some scorching stretches and see what they mean for long-term value heading into 2026. While many fantasy owners are already shifting their attention to football schedules, we’re here setting our auto-draft to focus on next year’s values. This is the season for buying low with the future in mind, spotting the underpriced risers, and identifying those who might be fool’s gold once the calendar flips. Championships aren’t just won in September, they’re also built by how well you scout for the year ahead. Buckle up and let’s investigate some impressive stat lines for the 2025 season.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Our streamers last week were all over the map, with Jacob Lopez and Matt Shaw looking like the highlights of that piece. We also got a nasty dud from Zebby Matthews and a bizarre two-start week from Jack Leiter, but stinkers are inevitable from streamers. That’s the volatility of picking streamers every week because these […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Graduated from Prospect News Stash List #9: Wake Up With Snelling Salts: Samuel Basallo, Dylan Beavers, Jhostynxon Garcia, Bubba Chandler, Nolan McLean
Note: Anyone promoted during the current season is ineligible for the stash list.
1. Cardinals SS JJ Wetherholt (22, AAA)
St. Louis has struggled to sort its pieces for about a decade, so it’s no surprise we haven’t seen Wetherholt in the majors despite him lighting the Triple-A level on fire for a month, slashing .301/.391/.628 with nine home runs and five stolen bases in 29 games. He’s my pick for 2026 National League Rookie of the Year, and I think he’ll open the season with the big league club, but it’s always a little scary waiting on a young Cardinal to get his chance to take flight.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy Saturday, Razzball faithful! It was an evening of excitement, mixed with a bit of bated breath as the most patient fantasy managers in the universe (aka the ones that stashed Bubba Chandler for longer than most of us did) finally got to experience the sweetness of the fruit of self-control that had been rotting […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Bryce Eldridge is so young he might’ve been named after Bryce Harper. Bryce Eldridge is so young…Audience screaming back, “How young is he?” He’s so young he needs his parents to sign a permission slip for him to play in the majors. Bryce Eldridge is so young that he got carded to eat rum raisin. […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?All right, friends, the weeks are dwindling down, and the end of the MLB season appears in clearer view by the day. There’s just not a ton of time left to improve a still-in-contention fantasy team, or to scout younger players, thinking ahead to 2026. Let’s try to treat the fantasy baseball season as we […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Depending on your league’s settings, you are likely 1-2 weeks away from the fantasy playoffs. Whether you’re fighting for your life or coasting at the top of the standings, odds are you’re already dealing with injuries that challenge your survival. If not, there is a strong likelihood you will be soon. Injuries, after all, are […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Welcome back to the Jhosty/Nxon interviews. I’m your host David Brinkley and I just want to catch those of you up who are just joining us. Last week on Jhosty/Nxon, the Red Sox were having Jhosty/Nxon take reps at 1st base, and internally they were talking about promoting him. Then, after a break-in at the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?In the Bible, Jacob was a monumental figure. He wrestled with an angel and was eventually given the name Israel. He is referred to as a Hebrew patriarch of the Abrahamic religions. Jacob Lopez of the Athletics is on the opposite end of the spectrum. He was selected in the 26th round of the 2018 […]
