Here’s what I said when he was called up, “Am I the only one mad that MLB teams hold back their rookies, manipulating their service time? The funny thing about my anger when it pertains to baseball is that dissipates by the time I’m into the next sentence. What was I mad about out again? […]

Welcome back, friends, to another week of my dynasty positional rankings. This week the Top 50 Dynasty Catchers for 2026 is on the menu after looking at relief pitches and starting pitchers the last two weeks.
When it comes to catchers, let’s just be brutally honest – many of them are not good at helping your offense. As a whole, the catching position ranked last in the major leagues in average, second to last in OBP and SLG and third to last in OPS this past season.
The Top 10 catchers are all players you would love to have on your team. The next 10 you can live with. After that things get dicey.
In leagues that start two catchers, it is always a fight to find a good No. 2 catcher and it is sometimes worth overpaying for that second solid starter as it will give you an advantage over many of the other teams. Otherwise, might as well go for a young catcher with upside as your No. 2 instead of a piddling old catcher who will certainly drag your stats down.

I’m writing this as Blake Treinen blows the game. I don’t watch the Dodgers that much because it’s blacked out. Clearly, I don’t watch them as much as the Dodgers’ coaching staff watches them, I’d imagine. So, you’d think they’d know what was going to happen. They had to expect Treinen to suck, no? No […]

You ever hear the song Cake By The Ocean and, before ever chorus break, you shout out to the people around you, “This is about Cal Raleigh?” No? Guess we’re not the same. Yesterday, Cal Raleigh went 3-for-5, 3 runs, 3 RBIs with his 55th and 56th homer. I said the other day, I’d bet […]

Bryce Eldridge is so young he might’ve been named after Bryce Harper.

These days are reserved for the true cheapskates. If a minor leaguer is good enough to stress the pricing mechanisms in place to suppress his salary, the cheapskate team is obligated to keep him on a minor league contract as long as embarrassingly possible. How can you not be romantic about Baltimore promoting Dylan Beavers and Samuel Basallo on back-to-back days just after crossing the invisible barrier between trying to win games and trying to spend as little as possible for as long as possible. Or perhaps it was pure coincidence that they were both ready for the next challenge on the same weekend just in time to preserve their rookie status for 2026. It could happen.
