I always remember one line from The Shawshank Redemption when Andy said: “How can you be so obtuse?” In fantasy baseball, we often have implicit bias and cling to old biases, name value, or even general consensus when we value players. We even sometimes stubbornly refuse to see it when it’s staring us in the […]

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher slash journeyman slash heartthrob Michael Wacha pitched a real gem Friday night going eight innings allowing just four hits and striking out ten Cleveland Guardians for his eighth win of the year. Don’t laugh, Fozzy, this is vintage Michael Wacha Wacha, the only thing funny here is that the Guards […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?When I talk about a breakout, I’m not looking for a player who goes from pick 200 to pick 150. That’s useful, but it’s not what I’m after sitting at the 2026 trade deadline in a keeper league. I want to find the hitters who could make a much bigger jump, the players who have a legitimate chance to be top 25 fantasy hitters in 2027 while still carrying a considerably lower price right now. That’s a difficult group to find. A player needs to have enough power, speed, and plate discipline to actually reach that level. Plus, there also needs to be something the market hasn’t fully accounted for. Maybe it’s a skill that is just beginning to emerge. Maybe it’s a young hitter whose power hasn’t caught up with the rest of his game. Or maybe it’s a player who has quietly improved enough that the hitter we’re watching now is considerably better than the one fantasy managers remember. Time to dig in.

Many people know Minnesota as the Land of 10,000 Lakes. What they don’t know, who the heck counted all those lakes? What if they were at like 9,877 lakes and someone tickled them and they lost count and just started again at 9,880, then it would actually be the Land of 9,997 Lakes, but no […]

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 […]

Injuries happen. They happen to every position, every season. But it sure feels like the top of the outfield has been particularly snakebitten by them this year, doesn’t it? Just look at the names who were, if not top-10 picks at the position, certainly must-start players who are currently on the shelf: Aaron Judge, Juan […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?There were nearly 50 trades at last week’s deadline, so the waiver wire is stacked with goodies. What’s also fascinating is that we have dozens of players coming off the IL over the next few weeks because many of these teams are trying to make one final playoff push. I know many of you are […]

The Red Sox cannot be stopped. Nine straight! Twenty-seven of the last thirty. The team that looked destined for the dregs of the league has somehow clawed its way into something that feels less like a season and more like a baseball myth being written as we watch. And maybe the most beautiful part is […]

The NL MVP race seems to be shaping up to be between two guys. Yesterday, that race shaped up as they shipped out balls. It’s between Shohei Ohtani, the every-year MVP and Ed Sheeran– Sorry, being told that is not Ed Sheeran. That’s Pete Crow-Armstrong. They both lit up the scoreboard yesterday. PCA went 3-for-5, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The 1927 Red Sox are answering the age-old question, is it better to be loved or feared? Neither, it’s better to hit some freakin’ dongs! Louie Armstrong knows where it’s at when he questions, Wilyer or Won’tyer be my baby? By the way, that’s like Should I Stay Or Should I Go. Bro, “If I […]

This is where the rubber meets the road. For my first set of rest-of-season rankings, referencing R.E.M. and Michael Stipe feels so appropriate here. If you’ve been staring at your outfield roster on the IL, you are not alone, because everybody hurts right now. I also want to offer a quick disclaimer. I’ve learned a […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It’s hard to believe, but we’ve hit the stretch run of the season. Most teams only have 50-60 games remaining, and the trade deadline is right around the corner. That’s always one of the most fascinating times to scrounge the waiver wire because there are the occasional league-winners after some trades. Most of the big […]
