Hope everyone is having a nice Memorial Day weekend, and enjoying some baseball, or as Chef Boyardee calls it, Our National Pastatime. This Monday let’s remember all the other red-white-blue American things one hears backstage at a Larry The Cable Guy concert, including burping and farting and wearing an American flag t-shirt. Eat a D, ISIS! Much like how America was just a Platonic ideal, then went to Washington and had to get its hands dirty with the gory details of governing, we have MacKenzie Gore (7 IP, 1 ER, 4 baserunners, 11 Ks (career-high), ERA at 3.57) getting his hands dirty with making good on the promise of being a top prospect. Yesterday, he threw 106 pitches, 75 were strikes, and 23 were swinging. Overall, his command is still a bit wonky — 11.5 K/9, 4.3 BB/9, 3.48 xFIP — but if the Ks are that good, the command won’t hurt him. Those Ks are Murica thru & thru. Not spelling shizz out is Murica too. Anyway, here’s what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:

Welcome to the month of May.  As the quote goes “All things seem possible in May”.  From a fantasy manager perspective, that is likely great news as nothing has gone to plan for your 2023 season.  Whether that is a demotion of a budding young star like Jordan Walker.  Maybe it is an injury that kicked you before you even started, like Jose Altuve.  Or simply it could be an investment not paying off, like Jose Abreu.  Many fantasy managers are glad to be running into May.  Speaking of running, we have a new leader atop our Top 100 hitters for the rest of the 2023 fantasy baseball season.  That guy is none other than Ronald Acuna Jr. who leads the league in stolen bases and has already amassed a combined 50 Runs + RBI.  All of this with a massive leap forward in approach at the plate with his strikeout rate dropping ten points to land below 15%. At this point, we could be looking at a 25 homerun and 50 stolen base season for the Brave.  Move over Trea Turner, the top spot belongs to Ronnie.

It’s getting ridiculous now, isn’t it? Once sign stealing was quelled, the haters couldn’t wait for the Houston Astros to fall flat on their faces. But this Day of Reckoning never really comes, does it? No matter what front office or rule changes occur, these modern-day Astros just keep on chuggin’. They are a seemingly […]

Last week, we walked through my initial top 25 as we began to count down, or rather count up our top 100 hitters for the 2023 fantasy baseball season.  While the top 25 was a star studded group on which fantasy dreams are born, the next 25 contain breakout potential and a number of reliable veterans.  Once we get past this group, the questions start to grow and the debate will certainly spark.  Without further ado, let us jump into our continuing view of the top 100 hitters for the 2023 fantasy baseball season with spots 26 through 50!

If you are starting a team in a new dynasty league, take a look at the position breakdown of the top 200 players, using the main position for utility players except for one, who plays basically any position in the field.

What quickly jumps out is the lack of depth at second base and third base. The second and third base positions alone add up to only one more Top 100 player than the shortstop position. There are some great players at those two positions, but the overall quality lacks compared to shortstop or first base.

When it comes to catchers and relief pitchers, I can tell you right now that there are few of them ranked. There are a lot of good catchers, but many of them will get only 110 or so starts or they are getting up in age, making them less than desired dynasty options.

As for the relivers, I never chase saves (or holds if your league has them). How many players dread chasing Aroldis Chapman last year or a host of other top closers? Meanwhile, five new closer will come out the woodwork this year that you can get in the middle of the season.

Greetings, friends! Football season is officially over, pitchers and catchers are reporting, and draft season is in full swing. Speaking of drafting, I hope you’ve signed up for an RCL or three… tons of free leagues, cheap leagues, try-to-beat-the-writer leagues, and then there’s my $100 league which still has a few openings left as I […]
