Yesterday, Cameron Cauley (1-for-3, 2 runs) was called up by the Rangers. This past Sunday Itch just gave you his latest Prospect Stash list and had Cauley as the guy he highlighted. That’s impressive, because I had no idea who Cauley was prior, and Itch predicted it 24 hours prior. It’s a cool parlor trick, […]

Matt Shaw
Please see our player page for Matt Shaw to see projections for today, the next 7 days and rest of season as well as stats and gamelogs designed with the fantasy baseball player in mind.
I may have mentioned once or twice by now: Fantasy is a game a failure. We cannot predict human behavior 100% of the time, so our predictions about players are going to be wrong. Often. The best fantasy players aren’t necessarily good at predicting what players will do; they are simply less bad at it than the rest of us are. The best fantasy players are also likely less reactive to their analytical misses, able to respond and adjust accordingly, while the rest of us are still yelling at ourselves for our misses – or, even worse, blaming players for how they have failed us. The best fantasy players are able to acknowledge their analysis was wrong and quickly begin the process of rebuilding analysis to help moving forward.
Please, blog, may I have some more?A third reasonable question might be, “Is the player currently performing?” Baseball is a game of streaks, so it shouldn’t be a disqualifier if a player is currently underperforming, but the fact is Shaw is doing exactly the types of things we’d like to see a FAB pickup do. In the six games (including five started games) he’s appeared in since June 13th, Shaw has 25 PA and is 7 of 22 (.318 BA) with 2 triples, 1 HR, 6 R, 7 RBI, 2 BB, and 1 HBP while maintaining an 8% BB% with only a 20% K%. Obviously, the sample is small, but in fantasy, quick decisions have to be made, leading us as fantasy managers to need to react to small samples.

What are they thinking that they’re moving this team to Vegas? It’s so crazy, I love it so much. You thought Bing Bong Stadium in […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?I’m only half Jewish — as Henry Hill would say, the good half — but I heard Cade Cavalli went 6 IP, 2 ER, 10 baserunners, 10 Ks, ERA at 3.82, and I started Cade Kvelling. Who is this, do we know his mishpocha? Can we send them some macaroons? Are they allergic to coconut? […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Last week, we talked about some hotter starts. Well, guys, not all starts are created equal. All of these guys were expected to do well and drafted in the top 100 in most leagues. Guess what? They’re not doing well. Who should we worry about? Read this prospects piece first. There is hope! Also, go ahead […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Max Scherzer left after two innings with decreased velocity — damn, only 78 more wins to 300 — and then things got worse. This was a rematch of last year’s World Series, and the Dodgers sent Justin Wrobleski (5 IP, 1 ER, 6 baserunners (4 BBs), 2 Ks, ERA at 4.00) out there to try […]

As I understand it, Jesus gets his boys blotto on his blood that’s wine — imagine going wine tasting and being like, “This wine tastes irony.” “Like it’s dramatically contrasted to the opposite of what’s […]

There’s nothing like Opening Day. There’s a magical quality to starting anew. All your past demons are put to bed. You wake early to the sound of a Rooster because you left HBO on when you fell asleep and you stretch out your arms. It’s going to be different this year. This year is going […]

March 25, 2026 | 2026 Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Baseball Rankings | 15 Commentsby: kelder
Last week, I talked about the depressing state of first base. This week, it’s even worse. I’m about to fire up some Dashboard Confessional and put guyliner on this group. It’s a weak group. Somewhere, somehow, we need some youngsters to break out here. There are some possibilities here that will be highlighted, of course. […]
