I always remember one line from The Shawshank Redemption when Andy said: “How can you be so obtuse?” In fantasy baseball, we often have implicit bias and cling to old biases, name value, or even general consensus when we value players. We even sometimes stubbornly refuse to see it when it’s staring us in the […]

As we approach the home stretch (under 40 games left), it is time to make adjustments. We will discuss players who flipped the script, guys on heaters, players saving their best for last, and a few that may sink you if you stick with them. For some slumping stars, it’s another reminder to be patient, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It’s hard to believe, but this season is winding down. Some people are already in their fantasy playoffs, but I know most managers will be entering them sometime over the next few weeks. The season is long, but it always seems to fly by when we get to this point. It’s one of the best […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Tim Tawa sounds like an NFL QB, doesn’t he? “Steps back to pass, and the wide flank is janky, needs to look back inside, and the tight end is loose! Oh my God, he’s a loose tight end! Oh God, this is gorgeous! Tim Tawa’s flanking no more! He’s loosening a tight end! Must’ve been […]

This lede was derived from the very simple question: Who the eff is Blade Tidwell? I legitimately didn’t know. I asked AI and AI said, “That is the part Cuba Gooding Jr. played in Jerry Maguire with the very famous catchphrase, ‘Show me where your money is.’ If you’d like, Grey, I can tell you […]

Injuries happen. They happen to every position, every season. But it sure feels like the top of the outfield has been particularly snakebitten by them this year, doesn’t it? Just look at the names who were, if not top-10 picks at the position, certainly must-start players who are currently on the shelf: Aaron Judge, Juan […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?We rarely showcase one team so much in any given article, but we love the Giants this week. There are numerous reasons for that, and it should be interesting to see how this rebuilt team looks in such a favorable week. They actually have my second-favorite matchups of any team, with the Rangers looking like […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?There were nearly 50 trades at last week’s deadline, so the waiver wire is stacked with goodies. What’s also fascinating is that we have dozens of players coming off the IL over the next few weeks because many of these teams are trying to make one final playoff push. I know many of you are […]

This is where the rubber meets the road. For my first set of rest-of-season rankings, referencing R.E.M. and Michael Stipe feels so appropriate here. If you’ve been staring at your outfield roster on the IL, you are not alone, because everybody hurts right now. I also want to offer a quick disclaimer. I’ve learned a […]

Marlins have been rebuilding since the early 2000’s, but there was never a real feeling that they were trying. I can’t remember a time the Reds haven’t been rebuilding. But the Orioles? They’ve been rebuilding for what, 15 years? Okay, but they were supposed to be done rebuilding! They were sniffing glue on their prospects […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I put it off as long as I could. It’s not that I’m against rankings. I quite like reading them and using them. And I don’t have any problem doing them on a small-scale, position-by-position basis. But how the 5th best SS compares to the 13th best OF and the 9th best SP? How do […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The waiver wire picks are always volatile, but I’ve been pleased with the results. Mickey Moniak was our highlight player last week, and he might’ve single-handedly won people their leagues. Understanding the schedule is the most impactful factor on the waiver wire, and this is one of the most unique weeks of the season. The […]
