It’s all-star week! That’s a good time to sit down, stare at your team’s record, cry, calculate how much you spent in buy-ins, cry some more, and then take a deep breath and figure out how you’re going to dig yourself out of 8th place. Remember — and I know this as a Twins fan — all you gotta do is make the playoffs. Once you’re in the playoffs, any kind of luck or dumb chance or Shohei Ohtani hot streak can save you. You don’t have to finish first in your league — just get into the playoffs and see if you can muster an attack strong enough to be considered the 2023 Arizona Diamondbacks. Hopefully one of the players below will help your suffering team get to the next level:

Prospect News: The Future Is Not A Game or Collier Daddy

I found out a few hours before the Futures Game that the Skills Showcase Challenge won’t air live after the seventh inning. Instead, it will be available on tape delay the next morning (today) at 10 a.m. EST. Perhaps that’s for the best in the sense that this event is new, and the league has no idea how it’s really going to play out, and certainly has no idea how to broadcast it before it happens. I figured it was pretty intuitive: show the hitter, show the hit, show the hitter, show the hit, and so on, but maybe it’s not that simple, and maybe it’s on tape delay for other reasons than trust in competence. I’m sure they want to have some kind of post-game show and include an interview or two. Whatever the reason, the showcase is probably on right now if you’re reading this as part of a Sunday morning routine.

Brooks Lee: Up-And-Coming Dynasty Player

Welcome back to your favorite Up-and-Coming Dynasty Players article on the Internet. After a little vacation time, it is time to dive back into highlighting some of the top young players in MLB.

This week I am not digging as deep into the player pool as I have in past weeks as I am highlighting Brooks Lee of the Minnesota Twins. Unless you are new to dynasty baseball, you should have at least heard of Lee.

A standout a Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Lee was drafted with the eighth pick in 2022 and quickly entered the 2023 season as a top 100 prospect by Baseball America (#45), MLB (#31), and Baseball Prospectus (#37). This year he started the season ranked 35th, 18th and 52nd by those three entities.

Lee’s 2024 season was put on hold during spring training when he was diagnosed with a herniated disc. The injury pushed the start of his season back and forced him to appear in some rehab games in the Rookie and Class A level before joining Triple-A St. Paul on June 5. While with the Saints, Lee slashed .329/.394/.635 with seven homers and 21 RBI in 20 games.

When Royce Lewis landed on the IL (again), the Twins didn’t hesitate to recall Lee from the Saints and insert him into the lineup at third base. Since making his debut on July 3, all Lee has done is hit, and his ability to do that at an elite level is what makes Lee an Up-and-Coming Dynasty Player.

‘ello Razzballers! We’re almost to the halfway point of the season: the All-Star break. Who is holding everything together with a few pieces of gum and some fishing line through the end of the season (I was going to make a “MacGyver” reference here, but I started having an existential crisis about “MacGyver” being lost […]
