“So, that’s how he was good last year!” is what a lot of people will be saying now. I may be one of those people. A lot of people will be asking, “Jurickson Profar, why did you cheat?” And to those people I will be saying, “Did you see how bad he was prior to […]

Burnes Baby Burnes, What The Inferno Is Going On
August 22, 2024 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes, Featured | 139 Commentsby: Grey
I’m going to take you back to my top 100 for the 2nd half from about a month ago…[time machine spinning, you slowly growing back hair]…There, you’re 20 pounds lighter–how much Taco Bell do you eat?–and you can read where I wrote, “My 2nd starter, Corbin Burnes, has sub-8.5 K/9. He’s clearly not right. And […]

Could Reynaldo Lopez (5 IP, 1 ER, 6 baserunners, 10 Ks, ERA at 2.05) actually be in the NL Cy convo? Comatose Braves Fan, “Reynaldo Lopez is in the running for the NL Cy? Plus Fried?! Right?!” Comatose Braves Fan, hold on– “–No! I won’t hold on! Plus, Acuña for MVP! Or is it Albies? […]

DFS: Bravery Is Hard, Choose Another Option
August 9, 2024 | 2024 Fantasy Baseball, DFS, DraftKings, Fantasy Baseball DFS |by: Professor P Rich
Friday Night gives us a fun 13 game slate. As always, my process has highlighted a few spots that I am more interested in than others and a few potential spots where ownership may congregate in a way that will make those plays -EV. Let’s look at those ownership spots first. While I actually like […]

There are plenty of MLB DFS truthers out there however NFL preseason starts on Thursday and plenty of sharp players are turning their attention to NFL prep. The MLB DFS life is a daily grind, easier to manage if you have a process, but the decision making can still wear on a person and bias […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I’ll admit to a certain type of satisfaction seeing the Rays suck. We should all be rooting against them for what they’ve done to our great game of baseball. The opener? Sucks! Not promoting prospects? Sucks! Pitching guys so far over their limits they all get hurt? Sucks! Platooning everyone? Sucks! Okay, someone help me […]

It’s the end credits of one of your favorite movies. You’re weeping, and snorting from tears. Then, just before you get up and trip on your neighbor’s feet, the screen comes back on. Up there, in bright lights, it’s Al Pacino and he says, “Hoo ha! Excuse me, Canha! That’s Mark Canha, and he’s been hot for the better part of the last week. Now, please be careful on your way out of the theater, and don’t trip on your neighbor’s feet.” You stand and applaud. Your claps echoing out. The Devil’s Advocate sequel was better than the original, you exclaim, as you head for the exit and trip over your neighbor’s feet. So, Mark Canha is hot, and worth rostering, and that’s what type of week it is. The type where it doesn’t matter what a guy can do in two weeks, just what he Canha right now. Thank you, Mr. Pacino. Now, how about a Gigli sequel? Anyway, here’s some more players to Buy or Sell this week in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more? Hunter Greene Turns Minnesota Into Land of 1000 Ks
September 20, 2023 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes, Featured | 118 Commentsby: Grey
Third year is the year pitchers break out. Conventionally. Sometimes you’ll have the Braves make a Touki out of a rookie, who will as quickly disappear. A Quicki, so to speak. Usually, though, pitchers come up and struggle. It’s just a mess. Then they settle in a bit more in their 2nd season with fewer ups and downs, hinting at promise and things to come. Then their third year happens and everyone is like, “Hmm, where did this come from?” It came from the guy becoming comfortable in the majors. Hunter Greene will be that next year. I thought it would be this year, but there were still ups and downs, and a very long injury. Next year, Hunter Greene will be a 2024 fantasy ace. A guy that will throw some of the most dazzling numbers you’ve ever seen. This won’t be free in drafts. Everyone, I imagine, will expect it. Although expected, he will still surprise how good he is. Yesterday, Hunter Greene (7 IP, 1 ER, 3 hits, 1 walk, 14 Ks, ERA at 4.24) showed you what he will be in 25 of 30 starts next year. Taking a playoff-bound team yesterday, and just doing an utter flummox. A fluttermox. Hunter Greene’s entire 2024 fantasy season will be a fluttermox. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more? Crow-Armstronga De Wrigleyville
September 11, 2023 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes, Featured | 163 Commentsby: Grey
Cubs are calling up Pete Crow-Armstrong, who is little known Pixar character from the movie, The Wowzers. It was a blatant ripoff of The Incredibles, where the main character, Pete Crow-Armstrong idolized Jim Thorpe, went to sleep one night and woke being able to “crow hop” a throw to home from the deepest part of the outfield. A critics’ darling that audience reviews on Rotten Tomatoes called, “Pixar continues to make all female characters’ main attribute their giant rear ends.” So, here’s what Itch said previously, “The surprise prize of the Javy Baez trade, Pete Crow-Armstrong features a quick but simple stroke in a 6’0” 184 lb frame. PCA is a double-plus defender who just posted 16 home runs and 32 stolen bases in 101 games across two levels (in 2022) where he was younger than the league average. He chipped in 20 doubles and 10 triples, slashing .312/.376/.520 on the season. The power has been a nice bonus, considering the profile isn’t dependent upon it. Here’s hoping: His power and my fist into Grey’s head.” Oh cmon! PCA’s gone 20/37 across two levels in 107 games this year. He seems to have a little bit of a contact problem (29.7% in Triple-A), but has speed for an inflated BABIP. I have little interest outside of NL-Only leagues, because I think Pete Crow-Armstrong will be in a platoon, but it’s fun to see what he can do in limited time, and this is promising for 2024 fantasy, and him breaking camp next year. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Turning on the TV, oh, lucky, it’s my favorite movie, Beaches. Wow, Barbara Hershey being selfless and allowing Bette Midler to shine. It’s so beautiful…Oh my God, what are these wet things on my cheeks? I’m crying tears of laughter and sadness that only the movie Beaches can elicit. Now, I am cutting pictures of Ohtani and Reid Detmers (7 IP, 1 ER, 4 baserunners, 10 Ks, ERA at 3.77) out of a magazine and pasting their heads on the TV. Now Reid Detmers is Hershey, and Ohtani, of course, is Bette. Detmers is cold in Ohtani’s shadow. Anyone would be, Ohtani is one of the best of all-time, like Bette, so you can’t compete with that, but Detmers can cheer on his friend, and have an 11.1 K/9, 3.4 BB/9, and 3.64 xFIP. He also has a 13.3% Swinging Strike rate. You know who else has a 13.3% Swinging Strike rate (at least they both did going into yesterday)? For one night, Bette wasn’t better. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:

Summertime! Time to tidy up the old ranks. This week is first base, next week is third. Reminder, I’m trying to predict what they WILL do. If you want rankings of what’s happened already, there’s a player rater for that. There’s also a projected rest-of-season tool that I used but since I’m not AI (or […]
