I am shifting gears this week and focusing on some very early rankings for 2027. I will start with a list of the top 50. The rankings are subjective, based on what I saw this season. They rely heavily on present value but factor in growth or decline. I am playing to win, so I […]

Yankees did a little preview of the playoffs for the Rays. They brought out their top bats and said, “This is gonna be so awesome if we meet the Rays in the playoffs and they actually start Mason Englert.” First off, the Yankees’ Chipper (present day version who can’t hit anymore), Ryan McMahon went 2-for-4, […]

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher slash deadline acquisition slash heartthrob Tyler Mahle continued his dominant run Friday night with a scoreless six inning outing, allowing just four base runners (three hits) and striking out six Astros to clinch the Braves’ spot in the postseason. It was his seventh win of the year, and fourth win with […]

Welcome back, everyone. The fantasy season is basically over for most leagues as the postseason has begun, and you may or may not still be playing. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t still be thinking about fantasy baseball. That is because in dynasty leagues, it is always baseball season. With that in mind, which players […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?In our 155th episode, Mike Couillard and Jeremy Brewer get familiar with the AL’s best team before diving into discussion on the Arizona Fall League, recent promotions, injuries (of course), and a pending NPB posting.

I usually do a look ahead for pitching in the final weeks, but with two weeks left, I am using a similar approach to help you optimize your outfield spots for the remainder of the season. I grouped the remaining schedule by division using park factor and second-half runs allowed. Team runs allowed is directional. […]

Ohtani hits the IL, because apparently one body can only take so much baseball, and the Dodgers respond by calling up Josue De Paula, the No. 4 prospect on Itch’s midseason rankings. Meanwhile, Emmanuel Rodriguez gets the call from Minnesota and Brody Hopkins joins Tampa Bay, giving us plenty of shiny new toys to discuss […]

Another top prospect was called up, this one was also the star of Webster and used to dunk on Gary Coleman, his name is Emmanuel Lewis. Dick Butkus was his dad and he burned down a house. Let’s hear it for the boy, who is actually a 49-year-old man pretending to be a seven-year-old! [intern […]

Team Position Player | Age on 4/1/2026 | Level | ETA
1. Brewers SS Jesus Made | 18 | AA | 2027
2. Pirates RHP Seth Hernandez | 19 | A+ | 2027
3. Mariners LHP Kade Anderson | 21 | AA | 2026
4. Red Sox SS Franklin Arias | 20 | AA | 2027
5. Athletics SS Leo De Vries | 19 | AA | 2027
The top group feels much stronger than usual for this time of year, between the exodus of rookies and the incoming draft class. Hernandez is the exciting teenage righty since Jose Fernandez, one of my all-time favorite players. May he rest in peace.

We’re deep, deep, deep, and these guys might not be playable. The top 100 outfielders for 2026 fantasy baseball are your flyers in most leagues, and your 5th and 6th outfielders in deep leagues. Keep in mind, we have NL-Only rankings, and AL-Only rankings. If you have no need for these outfielders in your league, think […]

1. Brewers SS Jesus Made | 18 | AA | 2026
A 6’1” 187 pound switch-hitter with power and plate skills beyond his years, Made is the top prospect for our game in my opinion and a consensus top-five prospect for any purpose no matter who’s sorting the list. In 115 across three levels, Made slashed .285/.379/.413 with six home runs and 47 stolen bases. He was 2.4 years young for the level in Low-A, 4.2 years young for the level in High-A, and 5.7 years younger than the average age at the level during his five-game debut with Double-A Biloxi to close out the season. He was slow to get settled into full-season pro ball after skipping the complex league but was dominant in High-A, slashing .343/.415/.500 in 27 games, and I suspect we’ll see a lot of that moving forward.

1. OF Josue De Paula | 20 | AA | 2027
Listed at 6’3” 185 pounds, De Paula appears to be bigger than that to the naked eye–not that I’m walking around with inappropriate eyewear looking at teenage athletes. A left-handed hitter with great plate skills and impressive contact skills for a guy with his raw power, De Paula has yet to really lift the ball in regular season play, topping out at 12 home runs in 98 High-A games in 2025, slashing .263/.406/.421 with 86 strikeouts, 81 walks, and 32 steals in 40 attempts. He was 2.2 years younger than the average age in the Midwest League, so we have a lot of reasons to believe the power will come sooner than later. He closed out the season with a week in Double-A, where he will likely open 2026 as one the youngest players at that level.
