Saw someone recently make the case that Kyle Schwarber (4-for-6, 9 RBIs, 46th, 47th, 48th and 49th homers) would be a terrible Hall of Famer. Not like he’d enter the Hall and pee on the memorabilia, but as in he does not belong. Well, I say, I want a Hall where he does belong! Assuming […]

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.

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. […]

One of the most glorious things about MLB is when a GM will say something like, “(Player’s name) wasn’t quite ready yet to be promoted, and we didn’t want to be aggressive with him, and have him suffer a setback in his development. The organization believes he’s getting close to a promotion now, and he […]

1. Orioles C Samuel Basallo (20, AAA)
I’ve given Baltimore a lot of guff in this space over the last few years for how they manage their roster, but this delayed promotion is easy to understand. Basallo turns 21 on August 13, so even though the bat was ready, and the roster had a clear need behind the plate, they had every incentive to hold Basallo back and give him a shot at rookie of the year in 2026. He’s got 23 home runs in just 72 Triple-A games and would be my pick for best fantasy rookie if selecting today.

As you might’ve heard on our last podcast, August 15th is the target date for when teams can call up prospects and have just the right amount of service time manipulation. The Goldilocks of service time manipulation. See, prospects cannot exceed 45 days in the majors and be eligible for the Rookie of the Year […]

Graduated from Stash List #7: Buy Tong In Time For Grilling Season: Adrian Del Castillo
Note: Anyone promoted during the current season is ineligible for the stash list.
1. Cardinals SS JJ Wetherholt (22, AAA)
2B Nolan Gorman has a 101 wRC+ despite a 30.1 percent strikeout rate, and he’s been hot since the calendar turned to June. He’s hit eight of his nine home runs since then, posting a 134 wRC+ despite still striking out an awful lot: 32.5 percent. The team already has something of an extra bat in C Yohel Pozo, but they’re in the wild card race. They’d make the playoffs if they started today, and JJ Wetherholt would be part of the Cardinals’ best playoff roster, so somebody’s going to lose some playing time sooner than later. Wetherholt went 4-for-5 with two doubles on Friday night, his fourth game in Triple-A, where he’s hitting .500 and slugging 1.000.

Can you not put your hands together and celebrate good pitching without them being aces?

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.

Well, the starting pitcher injury hammer has come to slam itself on all of our fantasy rosters. Our player pools out there lost pitchers all across the spectrum from aces (Corbin Burnes, Pablo Lopez) to midrotation stalwarts (Ryan Weathers) to hot up-and-comers (Jackson Jobe) to guys we were stashing to help down the stretch (Shane […]

In the year 1225, there was a 700-foot statue of Max Muncy in what is now commonly referred to as Lithuania. The town’s name was Muncy and the statue was named Max. For 800 years, the people of Muncy chipped away at this Max statue. Each rock they chipped off this statue, they named a […]

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.
