Who is John Rave? And why does that sound like the tagline for an action movie? Keanu is John Rave. Keanu means Cool Breeze. Keanu is John Rave. Therefore, John Rave means Cool Breeze. No relation to The Freeze from Braves games. And where have you taken his daughter?! So, yesterday, John Rave went 2-for-4, […]

Happy 4th to my American brethren and sistetheren (totally a word)! And what better way to rally the family than with a pocket full of fireworks, hot dogs…and peach emojis? If only there were something that could capture all that is the fantastical and fiery fervor of Cal Raleigh. Is there a series of tiny […]

Here’s what I wrote in November of last year, “Went back and searched my posts for every mention of the word “sleeper” until the All-Star Break. So, if I said, “(player’s name) was going to be a 2025 fantasy baseball sleeper,” I made note of it with a slash. By the time I was done, […]

Prospect News: Jac In The Box or Denzel In Training
May 25, 2025 | Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Featured | 15 Commentsby: The Itch
Earlier this week, the Rangers signed Korean high schooler Seong-Jun Kim and announced they will develop him as a two-way player. I’ve only seen the hype video the org posted, but he looks best at shortstop, then on the mound, then with the bat. I’ve noticed he’s getting added in a bunch of Fantrax leagues, but I’m probably not spending any spots on him. Feels like every FAAB run these days involves several young players I really want to add and hold for the long term, but Kim would fall into a trade-chip bucket for me because I’m not patient like that. Kim won’t join the club until January, making him something like a half-decade away from impacting our game in the categories.
Please, blog, may I have some more?What you guys and five girl readers don’t know is I can search all comments for keywords. Or key-Wards as was the case yesterday.

1. 1B Nick Kurtz | 22 | AA | 2025
At 6’5” 240 from the left side, Kurtz fits the prototype of a high-OBP, big-power corner bat. The Athletics selected fourth overall and sent him to Low-A, where he slashed .400/.571/.960 with four home runs in seven games. So naturally, the team sent him right by High-A and onto Double-A Midland, where he hit .300 for five games before a hamstring strain ended his regular season. He got back in action during the fall and played well enough that he might get a long look in training camp as the team will be eager to generate fan interest.

Tigers C Josue Briceño won the triple crown, a first for the AFL, slashing .433/.509/.867 with ten home runs and 27 RBI in 25 games. He looked good during his 40 games in Low-A this season, posting a .381 on base percentage and 14.8 percent strikeout rate, but he only hit two home runs. If he’d been healthy all season, he would probably open 2025 in Double-A, and I expect this Arizona explosion accelerated his timeline at least a little. He’ll get a look with the big boys in spring training, and if he plays well there, he’ll be on the escalator with his bat racing his behind-the-plate game to the show. He’s a big dude at 6’4” 200 lbs, so he might not be donning the tools of ignorance for much longer.

Please, blog, may I have some more?Rangers RHP Jack Leiter is a good place to start because he exemplifies what’s weird about the Futures Game. Leiter hasn’t earned his spot on the field (6.30 ERA), but that’s not uncommon to this game, which different organizations use for different reasons on a player-by-player basis. It’s not an All-Star game, in other words. It’s not even an all-famous game, although that’s what gets Leiter on the roster. It’s not even really a combination of the two. Some organizations might send a middle reliever, like Baltimore did with Marcos Diplan in 2021, who the team DFA’d the other day, almost exactly a year after Diplan gave up home runs to Brennan Davis and Francisco Alvarez in Coors Field during the sixth inning of last year’s Futures Game.
