Jordan Westburg is dealing with a partially torn UCL. “Don’t worry,” a fantasy baseball ‘pert once said, “There’s a few mid-level 2nd basemen and 3rd basemen to draft.” Another fantasy baseball ‘pert said, “There’s no fretting but fretting itself,” he said misquoting FDR like he was a 1950’s Southern woman. Now, that guy who is […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Howdy fellow Razzballeroos! It’s me again, The Great Knoche. I am back here at Razzball once more in 2026 with the weekly stolen bases SAGNOF article. I’m finding steals out there on the waiver wire for you guys and five girl readers on a weekly basis. I’ll probably make a few guest appearances writing DFS […]

Giving you a big picture, generalization here: The top 80 outfielders are the end of the outfielders you’re looking at in your 12-team mixed leagues, and tomorrow will be for deeper leagues, so we’re at the beginning of the end of the hitter rankings in the 2026 fantasy baseball rankings. But as you know, a generalization […]

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 Justin Crawford | 22 | AAA | 2026
I’ve been comparatively high on Crawford for a long time because I struggle to imagine a scenario where this guy fails to be valuable in our game. A left-handed hitter at 6’2” 188 lbs, he hasn’t elevated the ball much yet in his career, but that’s coming, and in the meantime he’s hitting well over .300 at every rung of the organizational ladder. In his final 52 games of the season, Crawford slashed .340/.418/.492 with six home runs, 20 stolen bases and a 16.7 percent strikeout rate. The math I’m trying to silence in my brain is of course not how baseball works, but if you multiply that by three, you get a glimpse at Crawford’s potential across 156 games.

Phillies OF Justin Crawford (21, AAA) has three home runs and three stolen bases over his last five games. His season-long line is .333/.409/.454 with seven home runs and 43 stolen bases in 54 attempts. Still seems underrated to me in a general kind of way across the lists, and Philadelphia’s front office is complicit in that. Nick Castellanos is under contract for $20 million in 2026, but he comes off the books after that and has been mostly awful this season, posting a negative WAR (-0.7) and .294 on base percentage in 128 games. The team’s best roster for 2026 would probably have a cheap Crawford in left field and Castellanos on someone else’s payroll. Heck that might be true for this year. I realize things are pretty good on the big league side in Philadelphia, but leaving Crawford out of his post-season push feels like a mistake to me.

As you might’ve heard on our last podcast, August 15th is the target date for when teams can call up prospects and have just the right amount of service time manipulation. The Goldilocks of service time manipulation. See, prospects cannot exceed 45 days in the majors and be eligible for the Rookie of the Year […]

Graduated from Stash List #7: Buy Tong In Time For Grilling Season: Adrian Del Castillo
Note: Anyone promoted during the current season is ineligible for the stash list.
1. Cardinals SS JJ Wetherholt (22, AAA)
2B Nolan Gorman has a 101 wRC+ despite a 30.1 percent strikeout rate, and he’s been hot since the calendar turned to June. He’s hit eight of his nine home runs since then, posting a 134 wRC+ despite still striking out an awful lot: 32.5 percent. The team already has something of an extra bat in C Yohel Pozo, but they’re in the wild card race. They’d make the playoffs if they started today, and JJ Wetherholt would be part of the Cardinals’ best playoff roster, so somebody’s going to lose some playing time sooner than later. Wetherholt went 4-for-5 with two doubles on Friday night, his fourth game in Triple-A, where he’s hitting .500 and slugging 1.000.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Graduated from Stash List #6: Chase’s Fire or Colby Jacks Cheese: Chase Burns, Brady House, Harry Ford.
Note: Anyone promoted during the current season is ineligible for the stash list.
1. Guardians OF Chase DeLauter (23, AAA)
Slashing .314/.434/.500 with three home runs and more walks (17.9%) than strikeouts (12.3%). If I have to pick just one of these guys to swing some standings the rest of the way, it’s DeLauter by a mile. Cleveland might drag their feet a bit, but they’ve struggled like crazy to keep this guy on the field, and it makes sense to get him on a big league travel and rest schedule as soon as possible now that he’s locked in. Plus, it takes a while these days for young guys to adjust. Best to get him going now so he can help in August and beyond.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Graduated from Stash List #5: House Party or Moore Is Better: Roman Anthony, Christian Moore, Jacob Misiorowski
Note: Anyone promoted during the current season is ineligible for the stash list.
1. Reds RHP Chase Burns (22, AAA)
Made his Triple-A debut this week and walked four batters but still surrendered just two runs in 5.1 innings and struck out seven Iowa Cubs. I wouldn’t give him more than five starts at the level, and I doubt the Reds will. They paid the man $9.25 million to sign on the dotted line. No good reason to spend a pile of pitches in the minors.
