Yankees did a little preview of the playoffs for the Rays. They brought out their top bats and said, “This is gonna be so awesome if we meet the Rays in the playoffs and they actually start Mason Englert.” First off, the Yankees’ Chipper (present day version who can’t hit anymore), Ryan McMahon went 2-for-4, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?River Ryan (3 IP, 0 ER, 3 Ks, six whiffs, three on the change, FB averaged 96.5 MPH) was called up. He’s the first pitcher to be considered a top prospect while having a grandchild. River Ryan is so old that in yesterday’s game he was played by Kevin Costner. River Ryan is so old […]

Yesterday, Aaron Judge went 0-for-3 as he was activated from the IL. He was slotted right back into right field, which is perhaps the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Only thing dumber might be paying a red-light camera. They can’t make you pay. This is legal advice from a fantasy baseball ‘pert. Call me into […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Connor Norby aka Con-Nor is again the Rockies pulling a fast one on an unsuspecting trade partner. Here’s the Rockies’ front office, “Who will we tantalizingly ruse this time? The Marlins? Okay, watch this,” then they do a move that you’re just left to wonder, “Are the Rockies so insanely dumb that they’re smart?” It’s […]

Gavin Williams (7 IP, 0 ER, 3 baserunners (1 BB), 13 Ks, ERA at 3.81) might have the record for most ledes in one calendar year, and he only has a 3.81 ERA! Has any pitcher ever been so good while seeming so bad? Sorry, he’s excellent. Also, he’s got a near-4 ERA? I’m not […]

Graduated From Stash List #4: Lara At The Top Of His Craft: Edwin Arroyo, Cole Carrigg, Braden Montgomery
1. Rockies 1B/OF Charlie Condon (23, AAA)
With seven home runs in his last 15 games, Condon is angling for a big league lineup spot despite a season-long batting average of .251. His strikeout rate over this hot streak is 19.7 percent against a 16.9 percent walk rate. Edouard Julien has played 58 games with a 69 wRC+ alongside negative defensive value. The organization picked up some found money over the off-season by trawling the depths of other clubs, but whatever they’ve found in Julien is messing with their invested wealth.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Graduated from Stash List #3: Lara At The Top Of His Craft: Colt Emerson (#3), Henry Bolte (#4)
1. Dodgers RHP River Ryan (27, AAA)
Destined to pitch for baseball’s best team in the near future. Features a cutter that would’ve stopped the presses a couple decades ago. 27.3 percent strikeout-minus-walk rate and 1.00 WHIP suggest he’ll be effective from the jump.
Please, blog, may I have some more?I dropped the ball when I neglected to include Mets OF AJ Ewing (21) in my top ten for Stash List #3: Lara At The Top Of His Craft. He enjoyed a slam dunk in his debut Tuesday night, going 1-for-2 with three walks and a stolen base, turning the lineup over with a jolt out of the eight spot. I don’t mean to be hyperbolic, but it’s hard to see a path for him to leave this lineup over the next month or so. If he hits during that month, he’s probably a fixture all season. I’ve been comparatively high on Ewing for a while now, so I hope you have him if you’re a regular reader. I sold high in one league, and I’m worried that wasn’t actually selling high so much as it was selling early. Oh and there was a minute in there when Fantrax gave him shortstop eligibility. Whew. I still have him on enough rosters that I’d be mostly thrilled, but I’d also be somewhat not thrilled by the Taysom Hill factor, you know? Where did that SS come from? Could a thought bubble on an edgy 1940’s political cartoon. Also my thoughts Tuesday afternoon looking at AJ Ewing on Fantrax.

Graduated from Stash List #7: Buy Tong In Time For Grilling Season: Adrian Del Castillo
Note: Anyone promoted during the current season is ineligible for the stash list.
1. Cardinals SS JJ Wetherholt (22, AAA)
2B Nolan Gorman has a 101 wRC+ despite a 30.1 percent strikeout rate, and he’s been hot since the calendar turned to June. He’s hit eight of his nine home runs since then, posting a 134 wRC+ despite still striking out an awful lot: 32.5 percent. The team already has something of an extra bat in C Yohel Pozo, but they’re in the wild card race. They’d make the playoffs if they started today, and JJ Wetherholt would be part of the Cardinals’ best playoff roster, so somebody’s going to lose some playing time sooner than later. Wetherholt went 4-for-5 with two doubles on Friday night, his fourth game in Triple-A, where he’s hitting .500 and slugging 1.000.
Please, blog, may I have some more?I’ve heard some fantasy baseball people suggesting Diamondbacks SS Jordan Lawlar was called up to be the short side of a DH platoon, but I think it’s pretty safe to ignore that noise. Some players are too important to get wrong, and very few organizations (cough cough Colorado) play fast and loose with the development of those guys, sacrificing their progression to fill a big league bench role.

Format = Position Player | Age on 4/1/2024 | Highest Level Played | Estimated Time of Arrival
1. OF James Wood | 21 | AA | 2024
At 6’6” 240 lbs from the left side, Wood is always just a bit of contact away from a double and a barrel away from a bomb. Last winter, he was mostly untouchable in all my leagues. This time around, that shiny new bloom seems to be off the rose. I kinda get it. He slashed .248/.334/.492 in 87 Double-A games, but he also had 40 extra base hits (18 HR) and ten steals in about half a season as a 20-year-old in Double-A. I think I’m more impressed with him now than I was then.

1. Rangers OF Wyatt Langford (21, AAA)
Could not be contained by minor league pitching. Texas is going to be scary in the outfield for a long time with Evan Carter and Langford patrolling the grass.
