“Everywhere,” Grey said, the same way he starts every conversation with me. He had switched to coconut pearls in place of boba in his daily tea. His brain had become clearer with the addition of the Omega-3, and no longer did he believe Bud Black to be a rational and sensible manager. But his opinions on Midsommar? He’d been tweeting them at all hours of the night.
I entered his office. It was cleaner than usual. The Bartolo Bobblehead sat happily on his desk, sparkling and clean. Grey gestured for me to sit on his therapy couch, and I took a seat.
“Everywhere, we have a new staff member I’d like you to train,” Grey started, pulling a sip of coconut pearls from his morning tea. He rolled them in his mouth for a minute, as if waiting for another arrival. I heard a whirring sound, like a wind tunnel. I wondered if Donkey Teeth had been airing out Razzball Headquarters again after JKJ microwaved fish in the lunch room.
The whirring sound increased, and after a minute of watching Grey swish the coconut pearls in his mouth, a Roomba arrived at the office. On top of it, attached in electrical tape and dried hot glue, was a picture of me.
“Everywhere, meet the Blairbot,” Grey said. “Not only is he great at cleaning, he’ll be taking over the pitching rankings starting next week.” Grey picked up a handful of marbles and tossed them on the floor. The Blairbot raced forward, trying to vacuum the marbles, succeeding on some of them but knocking others around the room. One landed in front of Grey, and he picked it up. Grey chuckled to himself. “Jon Gray. Fitting.” He put the marble in his pocket. “Blairbot, write up Jon Gray!”
The Roomba continued whirring, turning circles while chasing marbles. Soon it became apparent: Grey was calling me “Blairbot.” I stood, prepared to promote a Rockies pitcher. I heard a beeping noise, and the smell of microwaved fish hit my nose. It was going to be a long day.
News and Notes
John Means: [Justin Verlander stepping in as Jeopardy host in 2021] “In 2021, MLB pitchers set a record for most no-hitters in a regular season with this many.” [Grey buzzes in] “What is Rod Beck’s mustache?” OK, OK. Means was a passed ball away from a perfect game, which is another ludicrous rule from 1920 or something that nobody really cares about now. Means himself was perfecto. Pedro Severino felt cute and dropped a third strike, which keeps Means out of the history books as one to achieve one of the rarest feats in the sport. Over the past week, Means tossed 16IP with 21K and a single walk. He’s also got a 10% barrel rate and an average launch angle of nearly 20 degrees, which means there’s some regression coming when those deep pop-ups turn into homes. Yet, Means looks really good on the season and likely for dynasty purposes. If you’re in one of those rare leagues where he’s available, grab him.
Wade Miley: Miley’s been in the league 10 years and started 255 games, and he just got his first no-hitter! It was also just the second shutout of his career. Pretty wild when you think about it. Miley’s a known commodity and there’s not a lot that’s changed in his profile this year. His fastball/cutter combo ranks just above Kyle Hendricks in terms of velocity, and he’s using his changeup a bit more. Still, nothing to get excited about. Cleveland’s been no-hit twice this year, and they’re looking a lot like the 2020 Brewers, who nearly got no-hit three times in one week (with Alec Mills being the surprising victor in that competition). You know who throws slower than Wade Miley? Alec Mills! And now they both have no-hitters. Congrats for Wade, but you don’t really need to rush out and add him.
Jacob deGrom: Sat this last week with lat inflammation, which I only just learned wasn’t his ire at the Los Angeles Times. Apparently, he’s got muscle issues! In his Sunday start, he made it into the sixth inning before leaving the game with the trainer at his side, complaining of soreness in the same region that had caused him to miss a start earlier. What, the Mets trainers made a mistake in rushing a player back early? Keep your eyes posted for deGrom news, and if you’re here early on Monday, let us know what the update is down in the comments!
Jack Flaherty: Look who is number 6 on the Player Rater right now. Why, none other than my dark horse SP1 candidate, Jackson Dominatrix Flaherty. What weird parents he must have. ENYWHEY. He’s got 3 wins in the last 2 weeks, cranking out 20 IP with almost no walks or homers and his advanced peripherals are pretty close to his fantasy counting stats which means we’re seeing the real Jack Flat.
Dylan Cease: Everybody’s just waiting for Cease’s no-hitter because then we get to make cool taglines like we did with John Means. “Batters cease to hit Cease!” There, take that and steal it. The world is on fire about Dylan Cease, and I’m still not in on it. Over the past two starts, we’ve seen him post a 20:3 K:BB ratio, although one of those starts was against the league’s worst offense (Le Tigres). I look through Cease’s statcast profile and see very little change in a “positive” direction; his fastball was actually down a bit in velocity in his last start. Most of his pitches are moving less, which may explain his good control. The only noticeable “positive” that stands out is his fastball, which ranks in the top 4% of spin rates. The xSLG on his fastball is still .477 and the xwOBA is .334, neither of which are outstanding. Prior to his “breakout,” he had a 10% barrel rate and nearly 40% hard-hit rate. So, what changed dramatically in the past 2 weeks? Batters are swinging a bit less, perhaps waiting for a walk that’s not coming. ENYWHEY. We need at least 3 points of data to see a trend, and Cease has only provided 2 points right now. I’m not telling you to jump all in because there are still a lot of red flags, but he’s definitely doing better than most analysts expected.
Corey Kluber: Corky Luber threw a gem earlier this week with 10K over 8IP after a rough start the season where he failed to make it into the 5th inning 4 games straight. Although he’s had 2 nice “looking” games in a row, one of those games came with a 4.68 SIERA, and his most recent game saw his fastball and cutter drop nearly 1MPH in average velocity. The effect game came because he threw his changeup more than he has all year (25%), and given that earlier this year he was barely using it at all, we can see that Kluber found the one pitch that will work for him right now. It’s kinda like my Hollywood career. Hey Corey, we have something in common! With Kluber’s velocity all over the map and his pitch mix changing every game, he’s hard to recommend beyond obvious matchups, like A-Rod and J-Lo. Wait, they broke up, right? How about Kim and Kanye? No? OK, maybe Kluber’s meant to be a one-pitch wonder.
Robbie Ray: So, the new Jordache model has made it three games without a walk, which is absolutely wild. But in a good way, like Nick Canon. Not like Jackass. So, Ray has a 23:0 K/BB ratio over his last three starts, and the chorus in the back says, “Allelujah he has become Corbin Burnes like the Prophet Blair foretold!” Except Ray is still just throwing his fastball, and in those three starts, he’s given up 5 home runs (2.41 HR/9). That’s not good. Some of those walks are going to come back, and unless he decides to throw something other than his fastball, we’ll see regression hitting soon. Now might be the time to sell high on Ray. It pains me to say that, but he’s not Corbin Burnes. He’s better than SP120, where he was ranked in the pre-season consensus, but he’s not top 10 SP material, which is what will happen if he continues to produce 9K/0BB games.
Corbin Burnes: Speaking of which, he’ll be coming off the pseudo-covid IL this week. The star is back in the sky, and whyyyyyyyyyy can’t it be mine [stares at zero shares of Corbin Burnes].
Dustin May: Speaking of IL, May’s going to Dr. Freeze with a UCL tear. We’ll see him in August of 2022 most likely. Hold in dynasty, drop everywhere else.
Dinelson Lamet: Speaking of bad elbows, Lamet is what happens when a club opts for rehab instead of going for surgery right away. Lamet hasn’t made it more than 2IP yet. He most likely won’t hit “starter” level innings until June at the earliest, assuming he stays healthy. I would roster him only in best ball formats and contrarian DFS lineups. In fact, he dropped off the top 100 list this week due to low innings.
Luis Castillo: How unlucky can a guy get? Absolutely, he’s not the same pitcher he was earlier in his career…and I mean like 8 months ago. Fastball velocity is still down, but the control is largely there. In 33IP, he’s got 26K/10BB, which is more than acceptable. His FIP is 4.53 and xFIP is 4.03. His SIERA is down by 4.00 as well. All this means: his K’s are down and he’s not walking many batters, which means batters are making contact and his defense isn’t helping him much. We’ve watched players like Wade Miley and J.A. Happ make entire careers out of stat lines like Castillo’s. He’s been hiding his fastball behind his changeup more this year than ever, which is taking him away from his bread and butter strengths. If he can figure out his fastball — and his track record indicates he has the skills to do that — he’ll be a nice buy-low option. He won’t finish near the top 15 where many people had him in the pre-season, but he could be a top 30 kind of guy once Eugenio Suarez helps him out a little.
Jon Gray: We all wish we could forget 2020, right? And that’s what Gray seems to be doing, with his 2021 stats neatly mirroring his 2019 stats. In 2020, he struck out a meager 5 per 9, which was about 40% down from his career norms. Now he’s back near 9 K/9 with BB/9 above 3, and he’s limiting homers like he did early in his career. He’s not an elite option, but as long as he quietly puts up 8 K/9 with a mid-3.00 ERA like he’s done so far, he could finish in the top 40. He’s available in most leagues right now and is worth starting outside of home matchups.
Adrian Houser: 10K on Saturday, 31K/10BB over the course of the year. Nothing is stunning in his overall fantasy profile, but we’re seeing more of 2019 Houser come out instead of 2020 Houser. In 2019, he was remarkably close to Brandon Woodruff in terms of fantasy productivity. I’m not saying that Adrian Houser is going to be Brandon Woodruff in 2021, but he’s definitely worth a fantasy add due to his ground ball ability (62%) and his seeming preparedness to rack up strikeouts. If he reaches his 2019 level, that’s over 9 K/9 with a sub-3.00 BB/9, which gives him top 40 upside. Given that he’s available just about everywhere, that’s worth a speculative add.
FAAB God, Millionaire
We’re running out of low-owned pitcher options, so I’m switching to awareness of pitchers who are available in more than 15% of NFBC leagues.
- Jon Gray, Adrian Houser, Cole Irvin: Talked about these guys today and last week. Irvin’s playing beyond his fantasy value, but his ability to control walks is elite and gives him upside.
- Tony Gonsolin: Dustin May is out for the year, and Gonsolin will be coming back from the IL soon. Good ol’ capitalism: your chance comes when the worker in front of you falls.
- Tyler Anderson: Stat line looks like Adrian Houser, but more people haven’t noticed him yet. This is what I tell myself when I write like Grey.
- Jose Urena: Total floor option, but there’s a chance A.J. Hinch’s crew in Detroit helped him figure out his potential. There’s also a chance he’s just, ya know, going to Mike Leake his way to fantasy relevance.
Space:X Rankings
Elon Musk, save us! It’s pretty cool Elon Musk came out as autistic. Now I’ve got my role model: be born to an emerald tycoon, start a finance company, shoot rockets to the moon and build weird-smelling cars. I’ll admit I’ve got the weird-smelling car thing going on. ENYWHEY. Adjust the rankings! We’ve got some good data now that we’re 1/4 of the way through the season, and I’ve narrowed the S-Tier down dramatically while expanding the A-tier, um, dramatically. Repetition is dramatic, right? As always, I rank in tiers and don’t worry about placement within the tiers. These tiers describe the pitchers who have the stats that are most commonly seen among players who finish with specific ranks at the end of season.
- S-Tier: Players with stats comparable to SP1-5.
- A-Tier: Players with stats comparable to SP5-20.
- B-Tier: Players with stats comparable to SP 20-60.
- C-Tier: Everybody else.
Notable movers this week:
- John Means: His numbers are pretty legit. I almost wrote “legity” and I think that would make a good law comedy.
- Adbert Alzolay: his numbers look stunning, and not in a Dane Dunning kind of way.
- Eric Lauer was sent to the bullpen, but who do the Brewers really have to act as their 5th starter?
- Zac Gallen: Walking a ton of batters (nearly 4.75 BB/9) and his xFIP is 1.20 points higher than ERA and FIP. Great talent but his injury in the pre-season might have taken away a bit of command.

Aye, you made it this far, didn’t ya. EverywhereBlair is, well, located at home right now. He’s a historian and lover of prog-metal. He enjoys a good sipping rum. When he’s not churning data and making fan fiction about Grey and Donkey Teeth, you can find him dreaming of shirtless pictures of Lance Lynn on Twitter @Everywhereblair.
