This week brings us what may be the largest selection of choices all season. However, that is something of a mixed bag. Considering how solid last week’s group was, that probably shouldn’t be surprising. So while there is a good batch of appealing options, there are a lot that are not so great. Some sound […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?We are back! Sorry about the shop being closed up for a week there, but it was an unfortunate necessity. We should be open for business the rest of the way to try and help you attain fantasy fame, glory, and riches. Know who won’t be helping you do that this week? The guys whose […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?One last week before the All-Star break, and it’s a good one. We’ve got both high-end options and depth in offerings. Even down into the Fortune Cookies, there are guys who have been interesting this season. Weeks like this one are good. We like them. As a scheduling note, be aware that the Cookie Shop will […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I don’t have a whole lot to say in the way of introduction this week. But, Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. If there are four female readers…maybe ONE mom? Also, Happy Mother’s Day to YOUR mom, for letting you eat Cheetos and live in the basement, give her a special treat […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Baseball is back, and the Cookie Shop is once again open for business! Why a cookie shop? Because there needs to be some sort of hook for this column, and I bake a lot of cookies. So, while there is the obvious and straightforward description given for each tier, each is also assigned a type of cookie. […]

For those who play in head-to-head leagues, it’s playoff time! The time when you’re looking for every edge you can get against your opponents. So, naturally, MLB teams are doing nothing to help you this week. I blame Rob Manfred. (I blame him for most things.) For one thing, this week’s slate of two start […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Folks, this week’s selection of two start pitchers is ugly. I’m sure there will be a number of quality performances over the course of the week, but there is precisely one guy I think anyone actually feels excited about getting to use this week. It certainly isn’t a week where you want to be aggressively hitting […]

For maybe the first time this season, there’s actually a nice selection of quality at the top of the weekly two start pitchers. Aaron Nola is volatile enough that it might not make you feel quite as warm and cozy as you’d like when you set your lineup, but such is life. Anyway, this week’s […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?This week’s teams to keep your eye on are the Astros and Dodgers. Framber Valdez is off the IL, and to make room for him it was J.P. France who got optioned down to AAA. That means Spencer Arrighetti retains his place on the roster and in the rotation. What is unclear at this time […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Much to my frustration, the tables below will never be perfect. Pitchers expected to do well will get blown up. Offenses you expect to pile up runs will be frustratingly flummoxed by forecasted failures. Injuries and weather will wreak havoc. But what frustrates me most is when we simply don’t know what order we expect […]

Hi, everyone! I’m Jeremy, but my friends call me the Latch-Key Kid. Does that have to do with my last name? Yes. Is it because when I came home from school my parents were still at work and so I was left to fend for myself for a couple hours? Also yes. But that’s how […]

You know how it goes by now. Open Chrome. See AMP articles. Scroll past the ideology telling you that Lisa Frank’s unicorns have turned Cleveland into socialist rocketeers. Arrive at the fantasy baseball hype articles. Titles like, “Best 2024 Starter” and “Hot Starters for 2024” fill your feed. Your breath hastens. Your parasympathetic system engages. You think of Suzie or Stacy or Bill or Jamie from high school prom, and how great they looked under the disco ball. You’re set adrift on memory bliss of top pitchers of the past: Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander, Clayton Kershaw…and R.A. Dickey. Who could it be this year? you think to yourself.
