Mariners play in an awful stadium. Catchers don’t hit for power–[suddenly something blocks the sun] Is that an eclipse? My “Is There An Eclipse Happening Right Now Or Am I Standing In A Shadow” app says there’s no eclipse but I’m also on a treeless street. Nowhere a house. There’s no shadows here! What on […]

Prospect News: Electric Padres or This Deadline Is Alive!
August 3, 2025 | Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Featured | 35 Commentsby: The Itch
Lotta fun to be had tracking the trade deadline this year, so let’s grab our Geiger counters and pick through the fallout.
AJ Preller brought his own fireworks and fuses. San Diego threw down the gauntlet early by moving SS Leo De Vries, RHP Henry Baez, RHP Braden Nett, and RHP Eduarniel Nunez in a package for closer Mason Miller and LHP JP Sears. Speculation came quickly from Buster Olney and others that the club must be looking to move Robert Suarez and Dylan Cease for outfield help. Instead, they kept Suarez to build a monster bullpen. As much as I like Mason Miller, this represents an enormous return for the Athletics. I can’t believe they got Henry Baez just tacked on for some reason. He’s a good pitcher.

Eugenio Suarez goes back to the Mariners, and you have to imagine it’ll be nice for him to see some familiar faces and sights. Flying into the city again for the first time, Eugenio looks out at the Space Needle, wistfully, he asks, “When did they add that Giant Peach?” It’s gotta be nice for […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?With the All-Star break this week, I figured now was a good time to look back at the first half of the season and see what I got right and what I got wrong when it comes to who is and isn’t an up-and-coming dynasty player.
To be honest, I still feel pretty good about the majority of the players I have talked about the last three and half months. But a few players have not lived up to the expectations I had for them entering the season or for what I expected out of them the rest of this year. Are these players going to rebound, or should I admit that I was just flat out wrong? Guess you will have to read and find out.
I will admit, this is a bit of a long read, but looking back on the good and the bad should be a slow journey. So go grab a cold beverage and hearty snack and then settle in.

Yesterday was the day of doubleheaders and no one had a bigger doubleheader…Damn it, Darren Aronofsky, all I can think about is Jennifer Connelly in Requiem for a Dream! Seriously, he ruined me for not only any mention of doubleheaders but I just hear the word “double” and I start to think I know where […]

Was between Ryan Pepiot (8 IP, 1 ER, 6 baserunners, 11 Ks, ERA at 3.11) and Ohtani for the lede and I went with the “eating your vegetables” vs. “dessert as every meal” lede. I mean, which would you have chosen? Dessert? [eyes your waistline] You don’t say. So, Pepiot’s numbers look promising, and the […]

Well, well, well. Take a look at that. We have a veritable smorgasbord of options placed before us this week. The quality isn’t too bad, either, though the matchups are a bit of a mixed bag in many cases. I feel like I should have more to say as way of introduction to the rankings […]

Mick Abel: Up-And-Coming Dynasty Player
June 13, 2025 | 2025 Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Baseball Keepers, Keeper Leagues |by: Jakkers
After a one-start audition for the Philadelphia Phillies in May, Mick Abel was recalled from the minors earlier this month and inserted into the starting rotation.
For fantasy owners who are starving for starting pitching, which means everyone, Abel is an interesting pitcher. He has great tools, but he hasn’t really been able to put those tools together to produce a dominant season. Over five minor league seasons, Abel is 23-24 with a 4.44 ERA and 1.41 WHIP.
But as I stated above, he has a lot of nice tools in his tool box, including a 96 mph fastball. So let’s dive in and see why Mick Abel is an Up-and-Coming Dynasty Player.
