In the past, I wrote about 17 of these Jordan Lawlar intros. That happens when a guy is great in the minors for many years and his team refuses to call him up or they do call him up and he doesn’t perform or he gets injured for entire seasons. All of these things have […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Rarely am I surprised by a demotion. Jake Burger being demoted shocked me. We should have a contest next preseason to guess the guy who will be demoted that will floor people. Has to be a guy in the top 125 or so in drafts, and I have to pin down what “floored” means. So, […]

Put on my Dale Murphy jersey, placed my Jimmy Carter coaster under my glass bottle Classic Coke, said five “Jane Fondas” as I threw a dart dead-center into my Ted Turner dartboard. I was locked into the A-T-L, and you could tell because I was asking everyone to call me Grey 3000 while singing apologies […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The theme today is Rapid Fire. Now, I love a good action movie but I’m not talking about the 1992 film, Rapid Fire, where Brandon Lee uses all his skills to slice and dice the aggressors to win in the end. Well, come to think of it, I think that’s EXACTLY what we’re going […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?With the first few weeks of the season in the books, some hitters are off to surprising starts. But early stat lines can be deceiving. A hot streak in April doesn’t always translate to a breakout year, just as a cold start doesn’t guarantee a lost season. At times, a 4-for-5 Opening Day can lead to a player being hailed as the next Ted Williams but slow down, cowboy. That’s a hot dog at a buffet, not the whole meal. We must dig in and figure out which performances are worth our attention. At this point in the season, some player’s results are either too good for a seller to move at a price a buyer is willing to pay or vice versa. The real fantasy gurus are the ones who can sift through the smoke and mirrors to identify sneaky values and make a play before it’s too late. Today, in our Hitter Profiles, we’re going rapid fire on a handful of intriguing players to decide whether their performance is a steal worth riding or a stumble suggesting regression is looming.

Yesterday, Kyren Paris (1-for-3, 2 RBIs) hit his 3rd homer. At the worst, a hot schmotato. At the best, he’s hosting the last Olympics in his brain and we’re all Raygun. At most realistic, he’ll be hot for a few weeks until teams figure him out. At the most illuminating, I just realized Gaylord Perry […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Torpedo bats are the talk of MLB as the year begins. Basically, they look like this: Back in my middle Iowa early 20s slow pitch softball heyday (I know, it’s an oddly specific heyday) these bats were used. I loved my team’s since it turned my routine fly outs into legitimate warning track power. The idea […]

We are a full three days into the regular season and rolling into our first hitter profiles of the 2025 campaign. While it’s still very early, any reaction to actual performance should be taken with a significant grain of salt. Managers have invested heavily in their high-round picks, and even with slow starts, it’s important to give those players a chance to earn their keep. On the flip side, these early free-agent days are often when savvy owners make moves by cutting the last player on the bench for a flier showing increased skill or playing time. This week, we’re jumping around the league over the first few days of the season to dissect lineup choices and how they impact the value of our hitters. Spring training often gives us a glimpse of managerial preferences, but once the regular season starts, we get a true feel for where a player will hit in the lineup. Buckle up for this quick-hitter version of hitter profiles as we circle the bases like the Yankees facing Nestor Cortes.

Nationals OF Robert Hassell III is slashing .400/.447/.600 with a 15.8 percent strikeout rate and 174 wRC+ through 35 spring plate appearances. He’s been playing a lot of center field and might push Jacob Young, who has a 60 wRC+ through 26 PAs, for the opening day gig. Hassell III has been something of a . . . problem since he came over in the Juan Soto trade, just in terms of on-field outcomes, so there’s a vibes component to this decision. Would feel pretty good for everyone in the front office if Hassell III broke camp and played well early.
