Here we go again, folks, another week of the MLB season is in the books, and it’s time to move on to the next one. I will say, it suddenly doesn’t feel as early as I’d like it to in some of my leagues, as we’ve passed that point where a huge offensive day will […]

Yesterday, the Vatican elected a Pope from Chicago. Call him Da Pope. The first American Pope, and the first Pope to have opinions on whether or not Harold Baines is a Hall of Famer. What’s this I’m hearing–[finger to ear bud]–Jerry Reinsdorf is being excommunicated. Oh my. Cubs tried to lay claim to the new […]

Top 50 Dynasty Keepers for 2025 – Right Fielders & DHs
December 18, 2024 | Fantasy Baseball Keepers | 15 Commentsby: Jakkers
Welcome back to the Top 50 Dynasty Keepers for 2025 series. Today is the end of the road for this series as the focus falls on the right fielders as well as the few designated hitters worth talking about.
Before focusing on the right fielders, I want to give a quick rundown of the top 10 designated hitters. A few of the players may be able to get eligibility in the field in 2025, but most will likely remain tethered to the UTL slot in 2025. But thanks to their ability to hit, they are still solid to great players to have on your team.
As for the right field position, it ranks as one of the best positions as far as depth and talent. Lots of sluggers live in right field while there are also a host of players who can provide steals as well as a solid slash line.
But enough chatter. Let’s get on with the rankings, first the top 10 designated hitters followed by the top 50 right fielders.

Cincinnati Reds Top 10 Prospects For 2025 Fantasy Baseball
October 16, 2024 | Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Featured | 7 Commentsby: The Itch
1. RHP Chase Burns | 22 | NCAA | 2025
Burns set a new single-season NCAA record with 191 strikeouts in 100 innings for Wake Forest. That’s the kind of math I can get behind. Seems like he’s striking out about two guys per innings, which seems like a good plan. His slider just isn’t something college hitters are used to seeing. Isn’t something any hitter is used to seeing, really. Plays like an 80 when he’s commanding it, which he usually is. Usually commands his 100 mph fastball well, too, and while he’s got a little Kirby in him in the sense that people hit his fastball more than makes obvious sense, he’s not doomed to that fate, given his incredible athleticism and clear growth arc across time.

Jose “The Nat King” Tena Introduces Himself to Cole
August 27, 2024 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes, Featured | 166 Commentsby: Grey
Yesterday, Jose Tena went 2-for-4, 2 runs and his 1st homer. His last name you might remember from when you used to ask your dad for money. “Can I get $20?” “How about a Tena?” Tena spent roughly seven years in the minors and looked to be hitting well as far back as Rookie Ball […]

What is up party people? Who is the hottest bat in the majors right now and why is it Tyler Fitzgerald? Fitz may be the only guy hotter than Lawrence Butler (more on him later) right now with his home run binge. If he gets the chance to play everyday, and let’s be honest the Giants should run him out there to see what he can do, there might be more than just a hot streak here. Both power and speed were on display in the minors along with a fairly solid average with more strikeouts than you would like. He has defensive versatility and has seen time all over the field. He’s even taken the mound in three games but with no strikeouts and a 9.00 ERA you wouldn’t want to put him in your lineup there. The ability to play all over the diamond should help him get in the lineup and at least opens up the possibility that he could add to his shortstop and outfield eligibility at some point. Eligibility isn’t everything but it would add to his value, particularly in leagues with short benches.

Juan YePez Dispensing Hits Like Candy
July 20, 2024 | 2024 Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes | 21 Commentsby: Dan Pants
If the plural of “yippee” is now Yepez then Washington Nationals first baseman Juan Yepez is giving Nats fans a lot to cheer about lately. The former Cardinal carried his hot streak from pre-break to post-break with a monster game Friday night going 2-for-4 with a 3-run home run to extend Washington’s lead to six […]

July 15, 2024 | Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Featured | 325 Commentsby: Grey
This is the weirdest 1st half of baseball in memory from a fantasy standpoint that’s not obviously weird. That’s how weird it is! There’s no offense, but also: There’s kinda no great pitchers. Sure, there’s guys like Seth Lugo (you knew I’d be writing that in March), but there’s no, like Pedros or Big Units […]

It’s all-star week! That’s a good time to sit down, stare at your team’s record, cry, calculate how much you spent in buy-ins, cry some more, and then take a deep breath and figure out how you’re going to dig yourself out of 8th place. Remember — and I know this as a Twins fan — all you gotta do is make the playoffs. Once you’re in the playoffs, any kind of luck or dumb chance or Shohei Ohtani hot streak can save you. You don’t have to finish first in your league — just get into the playoffs and see if you can muster an attack strong enough to be considered the 2023 Arizona Diamondbacks. Hopefully one of the players below will help your suffering team get to the next level:

Holding hands to eyes, sun blinds me, I turn back and call into the house, “Ma, how long is this break without baseball? Ma?” I realize now that I’m not emerging from my mom’s house. I’m emerging from a bunker. I had been in there longer than I imagined. I pick up a newspaper to […]
