I’m not one to yearn for the long-gone, halcyon days, waning nostalgic for the old stuff. Faster games are nice, I like the pitch clock and I don’t miss watching pitchers hit. 40-man rosters though? Ah, the salad days. Back in the day (2019), rosters would turn from a soda can to a Foster’s. We’d […]

Welcome to a post trade deadline edition of Buy or Sell, where we dig into a handful of players getting a chance to prove their mettle in new lineups. After the beautiful chaos of the deadline, with its flurry of trades and call-ups, we’re seeing a fresh wave of hitters looking to make an impact. This week in our Hitter Profiles segment, we’re expanding the scope to include recently promoted prospects, players traded to new teams, and those stepping into everyday roles due to roster shakeups. With two months to go in the season, this is likely the last major shift for waiver wires across the league. Whether you’re saving your FAAB or weighing a trade, we’re here to help clarify your next move. Let’s dive into this quick-hitter edition of Buy or Sell.

Hello friends, and Happy Day-After-Trade-Deadline Day! It’s another good time to re-group before the home stretch, especially when you realize that we aren’t just a little over halfway though the season, we’re almost exactly two-thirds of the way through the season. If you’re trying to figure out how many counting stats you can add in […]

Howdy there, Razzballers! Before we get into the meat of this week’s analysis, this clip from the 1988 cinematic classic Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure is required viewing in order to get the headline reference. Because, you know, every time you have to explain your references to 90-second moments of 40-year-old movies, you’re off to […]

1. OF Lazaro Montes | 20 | A+ | 2026

At 6’4” 256 lbs with a picturesque swing from the left side, Montes invites visual comps to Yordan Alvarez and embraces them, incorporating regular video study and modeling his own game after the Houston slugger’s. In 116 games across two levels, he slashed .288/.397/.484 with 21 home runs, five stolen bases and 105 RBIs. I don’t mention RBIs much around here, but that’s almost a ribbie per game, which you don’t see a lot these days in the minors, especially among guys who take their walks (14.4 percent for Montes in 2024). All in all, I’ve been among the high rankers on Montes throughout his pro career, ranking him first on this list last season. He’s still ranked after Cole Young and Colt Emerson by a lot of outlets despite both of those guys having down seasons in 2024. That’s understandable given they were young for their levels, and Young had to hit in tough park at Double-A Arkansas, but if Montes produces power at 20 years old in that setting, he should earn the prospect shine elsewhere that he’s been getting here.

Welcome back for another week of Top Dynasty Keepers for 2025. 

We’ve taken care of the pitchers and the catchers, so this week my attention turns to the infield and first baseman specifically. Overall, this is a pretty solid position, aided in part by a host of players who also play another position.

In a 12-team or 16-team league, who should be able to find a strong starting first baseman for your team. But there are still some solid players ranked in Tier 3 and there are quite a few players ranked in Tier 4 who have really good upside if you can get past their growing pains

With that said, let’s get on with the rankings.
