Explain baseball to an alien? Can we start with this: What if all those Bubbas were in the majors at the same time? Would you be worried? How would it make you feel? Would you think, “Am I baseball fan or,” considered pause, as you turn to the mirror and continue, “A Bubba watcher?” I […]

Whaddya say, let’s do a Nick Kurtz post every other day for the rest of the season. For unstints: Random starter pitches well, I write a lede about him, “Yay, Max Meyer, you complete me, not ‘me’ like Renée Zellweger, but ‘me’ as in a 14-strikeout game,” or whoever pitches well, then the next day’s […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?As a way to offer readers some deeper knowledge about the fantasy-relevant players on MLB rosters, I’m going to be checking in from time to time with a full division’s worth of middle infielders. As a long-suffering Cubs fan, I couldn’t resist starting with the NL Central. If my assessment gets a bit bleak at […]

When the Netherlands landed on the ABC islands in the Caribbean, the Dutch made three requirements of all people, when farting in bed, pin the sheet tightly to the bed surface to not let any smell emit; all restaurant checks must be split in half with all attending parties, and, finally, all names must have […]

We are a full three days into the regular season and rolling into our first hitter profiles of the 2025 campaign. While it’s still very early, any reaction to actual performance should be taken with a significant grain of salt. Managers have invested heavily in their high-round picks, and even with slow starts, it’s important to give those players a chance to earn their keep. On the flip side, these early free-agent days are often when savvy owners make moves by cutting the last player on the bench for a flier showing increased skill or playing time. This week, we’re jumping around the league over the first few days of the season to dissect lineup choices and how they impact the value of our hitters. Spring training often gives us a glimpse of managerial preferences, but once the regular season starts, we get a true feel for where a player will hit in the lineup. Buckle up for this quick-hitter version of hitter profiles as we circle the bases like the Yankees facing Nestor Cortes.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Greetings all, we’re a week into March which can only mean one thing: draft season is in full swing! This week I thought we’d take a look at middle infielders, with an eye on a few potential targets later in a draft. We won’t go quite as deep as we have the last couple of […]

One super quick word about the top 20 2nd basemen for 2025 fantasy baseball and all the 2025 fantasy baseball rankings, each ranking appears insanely long and it is, but I imagine in a lot of leagues guys won’t have eligibility, because I’m using the extremely lax Yahoo position eligibility (five games started). Without further […]

After Hyeseong Kim signed with the Dodgers, saw someone write that he could hit at the top of the order, and to that I say, sure, if Ohtani, Betts and Freeman are all injured. By the way, during this Christmas break, I was in Palm Springs with Cougs and Mother Cougs out at a restaurant […]

Gavin Lux is not really an up-and-coming player in the sense that he first made his Major League debut in 2019 at the age of 21. But Lux, a former top prospect, is an example of a player needing time to figure out how to succeed. It took a lot longer than expected, but he is finally playing up to his potential and is an Up-and-Coming Dynasty Player.
Drafted out of high school in 2016 as the 20th overall pick by the Los Angeles Dodgers, Gavin Lux quickly rose through the Dodgers’ system and soon entered the watchful eye of dynasty baseball owners.
In 2019 he was ranked as the 40th overall prospect by Baseball America and MLB ranked him at No. 70. In 2020, he shot to the top of the pre-season prospects rankings as he was ranked 4th by Baseball America, 2nd by MLB and 3rd by Baseball Prospectus.
The success he had in the minors did not carry over to the majors as he struggled on the field each and every season. Then last season, with the starting shortstop job all but handed to him, he didn’t play at all after tearing an ACL running the bases during a spring training game.
Entering the season the expectations for Lux were not great, and the start of the season showed why expectations were low as he got off to a very slow start for Los Angeles. But since the All-Star break, Lux has been the player everyone was expecting to see since his debut in 2019. After years of struggling, Lux has finally turned things around.
