Please see our player page for Ethan Salas to see projections for today, the next 7 days and rest of season as well as stats and gamelogs designed with the fantasy baseball player in mind.

1. C Ethan Salas | 20 | MLB | 2026 

A defensive wunderkind behind the dish who signed for $5.6 million as a 16-year-old, Salas erupted with the bat in 2026 and wound up in the majors about six weeks after he turned 20. San Diego’s is often among the most work-intensive reports to write because there’s so much turnover within the system, but Salas has been a cornerstone in the pipeline. This should be his last time on the list. He might even push for rookie of the year in a class that could be a little light on guys who earn early playing time.

Good morning, afternoon or evening, depending on where you are or when you are reading this. And if you are a regular, welcome back.

The last two weeks I have run down the Top 50 Dynasty Relivers and Top 100 Starting Pitchers for 2027 Fantasy Baseball. This week we start our trip around the infield and our first position is catcher.

Let’s be honest, this is not an overly deep position. Once you get out of the top 10, things start to drop quickly. Once you are outside the top 20, it is almost time to blindly throw darts at the pictures of catchers on the wall and selecting the player the dart landed on. Part of this is just the lack of great hitting catchers. It has always been a demanding position, so the top catchers are highly coveted and then it is just mix and match from there.

But another reason for the drop in quality as we move down the rankings is due to the fact that many team basically play two catchers, meaning you don’t get one guy that you can plug in every day and be happy. You may have a decent catcher, but he’s out there only 100 games, meaning you have to find a second catcher or have no one starting at catcher the day yours is on the bench.

So the strategy is simple when it comes to the catcher position – get the top catcher who plays nearly every day! Simple, right? I know, everyone in your league is trying to do that. But if you do have an everyday catcher who helps you in at least two categories, you are ahead of most others else in your league.

Now, let’s get on with the rankings.

The prospect cavalry continues to arrive.

Connor Norby aka Con-Nor is again the Rockies pulling a fast one on an unsuspecting trade partner. Here’s the Rockies’ front office, “Who will we tantalizingly ruse this time? The Marlins? Okay, watch this,” then they do a move that you’re just left to wonder, “Are the Rockies so insanely dumb that they’re smart?” It’s […]

1. Guardians 1B Ralphy Velazquez (21, AAA)

This one, I don’t get. Not that I grok the concept behind all these other non promotions. “Grok” by the way, used to exist exclusively in the world of Stranger In A Strange Land by Robert Heinlein; It referred to something like a deep, complete understanding. Super cool of Elon to kill that word. Velazquez has 21 home runs in 73 Triple-A games, and he’s hit 17 of those home runs in his last 25 games, including another one during a three-hit game on Friday. He’s the hottest hitter on the planet right now, and Cleveland is 1.5 games ahead of Texas for the final wild card spot. Seems like they could use a hot hitter.
