Messick, a noun, verb and adjective for when you are calling out to work and can barely speak into the phone. “Hello,” you mutter. You’re a mutterer all right, because you have your hand over the phone, so they don’t hear you’re on a raft in a lazy river at the Great Wolf Lodge while […]

At the Vatican, staring at the Sistine Chapel, and Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam. Because I’ve been staring at so long, Adam morphs from bare-chested to having a Cardinals’ jersey. His, uh, lower half grows into a bat and God is not touching his finger anymore, but tossing him a meatball. An Italian man next to […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Also, in baseball just as in life, the process of aging plays a part. With players who are getting older (in baseball years at least), decline is a real issue. As a result, as fantasy managers, being patient with aging players is harder than it is with young stars like Crow-Armstrong and Rice or players still in their prime like Alvarez. With older guys, when a long, bad streak rears its ugly head, it’s reasonable to wonder if the guy is just washed. Two such players who have piqued my concerns this season are Gleyber Torres (mostly due to injury) and Marcus Semien. Yet, both guys show up on the MLB leader board for runs scored over the last 15-game period. This led me to a deeper dive to find out if there’s value to be had. Here’s what I found.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Let’s begin with a brief rundown of players who were dealt at the deadline. First the player, then a synopsis for how this will affect their fantasy value. Luis Garcia, Jr. was dealt to the Yankees. On first blush, a left-handed power bat in Yankee Stadium seems tailor-made, and he could well be that. […]

As we get into August, how I approach these rankings is going to change slightly. They still aren’t going to be a straight Power Ranking of who has been good recently, as that isn’t particularly predictive going forward. However, while patience with some players could still be rewarded the way they have recently with the […]

Late Saturday night, the Red Sox traded Connelly Early to the Nats for Curtis Mead. Check out Curtis Mead’s trade tree: Curtis Mead was traded from the Phils to the Rays for Cristopher Sanchez. Oofa! Who says the Rays always get the best side of a trade? Next up, Mead went to the White Sox […]

Yesterday, Jackson Merrill went 2-for-4 with his 14th homer, 2nd homer in two games, four homers in four games. Okay, but what you really want to talk about is how Luis Rengifo homered — a tomato is thrown, and it connects — Bull’s eye to side of my head. Ow! What? Rengifo could do something–A […]

Before we get into the top 100 for the 2nd half of 2026 fantasy baseball, let’s just be glad our 18-year-old selves can’t see us now, we’d get beat up! But our twelve-year-old selves would think we’re the coolest! So, as with all of the other 2026 fantasy baseball rankings, slop this up with a […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The All-Star break always feels like the perfect time to look ahead. Not to the second half of 2026 as that story is still being written. Instead, let’s jump ahead to next spring’s fantasy drafts. If the 2027 fantasy baseball season started tomorrow, who would you want with the first overall pick? That’s the question we’ll answer next week when I unveil my Top 10 hitters for 2027. Before we get there, though, we need to establish the player pool. This isn’t a dynasty ranking. Prospect pedigree doesn’t matter. Age only matters if it changes next year’s outlook.

Hi there friends, and Happy Almost-All Star Break. I’ve been talking a lot of stepping back and re-evaluating my teams over the last few weeks, but obviously four-plus days without a single fantasy stat is the classic time to do some more serious evaluating. I’ve found 2026 to be a particularly frustrating year from a […]
