I asked ChatGPT this great philosophical question, “If mom says don’t play ball in the house, and when she said it she was in the Brady House, and Brady House plays ball, is he making mom mad?” ChatGPT didn’t say anything in return, but smoke rose from its robot ears and started sputtering. I defeated […]

Rafael Devers is headed to San Francisco in a stunner that sends Kyle Harrison, Jordan Hicks, and two prospects packing. We break down the fantasy baseball fallout, Devers’ long-brewing drama in Boston, and what this means for the Red Sox, Giants, and your corner infield plans. Shohei returns to the mound. We discuss a couple […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?So, I was enjoying my Father’s Day with my dog, Ted. He was tossing me the frisbee, I was catching it in my mouth (in our house, we don’t assign roles). Then it was announced that Rafael Devers was traded to the Giants, and I started rolling on the floor, laughing, and Ted gave me […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Graduated from Stash List #5: House Party or Moore Is Better: Roman Anthony, Christian Moore, Jacob Misiorowski
Note: Anyone promoted during the current season is ineligible for the stash list.
1. Reds RHP Chase Burns (22, AAA)
Made his Triple-A debut this week and walked four batters but still surrendered just two runs in 5.1 innings and struck out seven Iowa Cubs. I wouldn’t give him more than five starts at the level, and I doubt the Reds will. They paid the man $9.25 million to sign on the dotted line. No good reason to spend a pile of pitches in the minors.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Graduated from Stash List #4: Boston Needs A New Mayer: Marcelo Mayer, Jac Caglianone, Carson McCusker, Daylen Lile
Note: Anyone promoted during the current season is ineligible for the stash list.
1. Red Sox OF Roman Anthony (21, AAA)
I had speculated about a Jarren Duran trade in this space before, and the team has made comments over the past week about their willingness to trade both Duran and Wilyer Abreu. Seems like Anthony might be stuck in Pawtucket until such a deal clears his path.

“Pump up the jam, pump it up,” was what I was singing during the shortstops rankings. And now we’re not singing fun, party songs anymore. Submerge yourself into a garbage dump; take a deep breath…Ah, that’s the smell of the top 20 3rd basemen for 2025 fantasy baseball. Don’t turn your nose up! Don’t turn […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? by: Grey
Nearing the end of the top prospects for 2025 fantasy baseball — see them all under my 2025 fantasy baseball rookies. At least that’s nearing the end for who I will be writing up. Remember, this is also for redraft leagues, so I need to see real playing time opportunity. If a guy doesn’t seem […]

1. OF Dylan Crews | 23 | MLB | 2024
Here’s what I wrote about Crews in Prospect News: The Future Is Not A Game or Collier Daddy:
“It’s hard to say somebody lost any dynasty value during a seven-inning exhibition, but Nationals OF Dylan Crews took some some strays during the broadcast, who agreed he was something of a ho-hum, 25-homer, gets-his-numbers-by-season’s-end type of compiler who doesn’t have great speed but knows how to swipe a base. That’s been pretty much my read all along, but it was kind of odd to hear it during what’s meant to be a two-hour hype fest.”
Nothing’s really changed since then. Crews made his debut. Slashed .218/.288/.353 over 31 games. He’s ranked first here because it’s unreasonable to rank him after the super young pitchers. I’m kinda out on him until/unless something changes.
Please, blog, may I have some more?The 2024 Futures Game rosters were made public on Tuesday, so I’d like to highlight some key takeaways that might be relevant to people with mid-week transaction set-ups.
For dynasty purposes, the Futures Game has always been an escalator for prospect fantasy values. Most people don’t watch minor league baseball on the regular, so their first time seeing some of these prospects with their own eyes happens during this seven-inning exhibition game.
My takeaway today is that values are going to change more than ever this season due to the new Futures Skills Showcase that will follow the game itself.

26. Padres C Ethan Salas | 17 | AA | 2025
I’ll never have Salas on a roster. Nothing against him, really, just a matter of public-facing, real-baseball lists running him so high up the rankings that there’s no road back to dynasty baseball value. He’s already a top ten prospect in most places, and he’s just nowhere near that for our purposes. He’s in Double-A at 17, but he hit just .200 for nine games in High-A, so that’s an artificial placement to say the least. He’ll likely open back in High-A and should have to hit his way out. There’s absolutely no rush. At 6’2” 185 lbs, Salas moves smoothly behind the dish and receives and frames with a deft touch that’s a decade beyond his years. With a bat in his hands, he’s a dangerous lefty power hitter with a discerning eye. An elite prospect to be sure. Just not an ideal building block for our game.

Submerge yourself into a garbage dump; take a deep breath…Ah, that’s the smell of the top 20 3rd basemen for 2024 fantasy baseball. Don’t turn your nose up! Don’t turn away from the stench! This is the reality about, uh, fantasy. You have to embrace the stank of the 3rd basemen. Enjoy!
