Fantasy Baseball Notes – July 16, 2023 @ 3 pmSegments 1 and 2 – Weekend gamesAdditional Notes:1.The A’s finally did something as they promoted Zack Gelof and Tyler Soderstrom. Both are Top 100 prospects for me, with Soderstrom having a chance to be an all-star caliber player. a.Esteury Ruiz has reportedly started hitting off a tee. Good news.b.As a side note. The A’s had the sixth pick in the draft and went with Justin Wilson whose father played in the big leagues primarily for the Pirates. He never strikes out but with no power and modest speed. You have one of the deepest drafts in years, and this is the direction you go. The hope is that you are drafting the unicorn known as Luis Arraez, but lightning rarely strikes twice. What are your thoughts on what the A’s are doing? 2.Many more rumors about the Angels willing to trade Ohtani. However, how will his finger issue affect his trade value? Your thoughts?3.Justin Verlander or Sandy Alcantara – Who do you want to rest of the season?a.Do you think a

The following players are discussed:1.Dylan Crews (OF, Was, #2)Highest Level: Draft ETA: 2025-26 Fantasy Ceiling: First-Round Fantasy PickTools Summary: 20-20 upside with a feel to hit.Dylan Crews had the best combination of safety and upside in the 2023 Draft. A handful of high school players have a higher upside, but when you combine his proven ability to hit in the SEC with a 20-20 profile, he should be the top player selected in supplemental Dynasty League Drafts. If you’re looking for a comp, I liken him to Jackson Holliday. Yep, he has a chance to be that good. 2.Wyatt Langford (OF, Tex, #4)Highest Level: Draft ETA: 2025-26 Fantasy Ceiling: Top 30 OFTools Summary: 20-30 upside with high OBP skills.Right behind Dylan Crews in the Draft was Wyatt Langford. He has plus power and is a 70-runner with a feel to hit. From a fantasy standpoint, if you’re picking #2 in supplemental drafts, do not fret, as there is a chance that Langford will be as good as Crews. Crews might be the slightly better hitter,

Segments 1 and 2 – Review of weekend gamesAdditional Questions1.Futures Game – Any observations?2.Eury Perez was demoted to Double-A because they want to limit his innings. What does this mean? Is he still going to pitch every fifth day? Just a couple of innings a week? Relief? Surely, the Marlins know that an inning thrown in Double-A is still an inning on his arm??? Your thoughts.3.Bo Naylor had three hits yesterday. Still hitting .196 with a 32% K-Rate. Getting better or a bust?Segment 3 – Waiver WireSegment 4 – Closer ReportCloseThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3306394/advertisement

Take 10 with Tim – July 7, 2023 @ 8am1.For the second year in a row, Mike Trout misses a big chunk of the season. This year, it’s a Hamate fracture, which many times will zap power for a while. Lot’s to discuss here.a.Mickey Moniak or Jo Adell? Who’s the pickup here?b.Is this the death blow for Shohei Ohtani and the Angels? Shouldn’t they now seriously consider trading him now? c.I know that the hamate problem is kind of one-off and last year’s back problem hasn’t resurfaced, but he turns 32 in a month. These kinds of problems start to find players of his age, no? He’s a ___________ round pick next season?2.Tarik Skubal looked great in his return. Up to 96 and threw strikes. Are you starting him with confidence?a.E-Rod did not look good. What are you doing here?b.Akil Baddoo and Riley Greene will both be back. I think the Tigers are going to be tougher in the second half and not the walkover they’ve been to date. Remember, Colt Keith, will likely be up soon. Your thoughts?3.Did you expect Seiya Suzuki would h

Fantasy Baseball Live – July 2, 2023 – 3 pmSegments 1 and 2 - Review of the weekend games Additional Questions1.We have a trade. The Royals deal Aroldis Chapman to the Rangers for Cole Ragans, and Roni Cabrera. We discuss…some notes about the prospects below.a.Ragans is a lefty with pretty good stuff. As a starter in 2022, he sat 92 to 93, but as a reliever, his fastball is averaging 96 with great spin. Good looking change-up, Cutter and CB. I wonder if the Royals turn him back into a starter.b.Roni Cabrera is the definition of a thrown-in. He’s a 10K sign in 2022 and a DSL repeater. He’s playing well, hitting 315 with a home run and six stolen bases in 16 games.2.Eury Perez – Madone!3.Darick Hall finally get the return call. Does he stay up? Is he worth rostering?Segment 3 – Waiver WireSegment 4 – Closer ReportCloseThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3306394/advertisement

Take 10 with Tim – June 30, 20231.Domingo German pitched the 24th perfect game in MLB History. It was impressive, but it’s hard to get too excited about it as it was against the A’s. Thoughts?2.Dane Dunning has been so good this season with a 2.69 ERA and 7 wins. Baseballsavant doesn’t like it at all. He pitches to contact, stuff is very average, and his XERA is 4.58, almost two full runs higher than his ERA. Sell high? Just ride him out?3.Speaking of BaseballSavant, I’ll go through my review of Cristian Javier and let you respond. It should be out on the Patreon site. If you could watch it, that would be great.4.Bo Naylor went 3 for 4 on Wednesday with his first home run. Next season, he’s a Top ______________ catcher.a.Let’s look at who will be next season’s Top 5 to 10 catchers.5.Tarik Skubal is finishing his rehab assignment and looks very good. Grayson Rodriguez has also looked good as he tries to sort things out.a.Who do you want to roster for the rest of the season?b.Who do you want for their career?6.

Fantasy Baseball Live – June 25, 2023Segments 1 and 2 – Review of the weekend gamesAdditional Questions:1.The Angels scored 25 runs last night.a.David Flecther was 4 for 6 with 5 RBI, Mickey Moniak was 5 for 5 with 4 RBIs, Shohei Ontani was 1 for 7. Baseball’s a funny game!2.Bobby Miller and Bryce Miller both got hit hard again this weekend. Bryce has a 7.40 ERA in June, and Bobby has given up 13 earned runs in his last two games.a.How should fantasy managers handle both of these guys going forward? Bryce is home against Tampa, and Bobby is on the road at KC next week.3.Bad news is out on Aaron Judge. He has a torn ligament in his toe with no timetable for a return.a.Rich from NJ calls in…4.The tale of two prospects. Many fantasy managers drafted Bo Naylor and waited patiently for him to get the call. He’s 1 for 16. Luis Matos got zero buzz and is hitting .257 with a home run and two stolen bases. a.Should people just stop listening to fantasy baseball podcasts and reading fantasy analysis as clearly luck is

Take 10 with Tim – June 23, 2023, @ 8am1.Break up the Reds. With the additional De La Cruz, McLain, and Abbott, the Reds have been streaking. They are five games over .500 and leading the NL Central. Do they make the playoffs?a.Let’s look at all the playoff races.2.You nailed the eminent promotion of Gavin Williams on Sunday. Were you pleased with the results? Is he someone you will roster for the rest of the season?3.Kenta Maeda is back from the IL today (Friday). Do you dare start him against the Tigers (who have been better of late)4.Julio Teheran has been a revelation, but how long can this continue? What is your strategy with him? Would you try and sell him for another piece, or would you keep running him out there?5.Another guy that’s been a revelation is Nate Eovaldi. But I received an email from one of our Patreon members saying that his velo has been down. Sure enough, it has. What do you do about him?6.Who would you rather roster the rest of the season?a.Aaron Judge or Yordan Alvarez?b.V

Ji-Hwan Bae, 2B/OF, PIT (CBS: 43% rostered, ESPN: 7% rostered): Why is Ji-Hwan Bae rostered to such a low level? He’s 19-of-24 swiping bases, good for fifth overall as we enter mid-June. It’s time to give your Free Agent pool a scan to see if somehow he has been overlooked. He shouldn’t be.Will Brennan, OF, CLE (CBS: 9% rostered, ESPN: 3% rostered): In the past seven games, Brennan has gone 11-for-29 with two homers and seven RBI. On most teams, that would be a good week. In Cleveland, it’s otherworldly.Kerry Carpenter, OF, DET (CBS: 8% rostered, ESPN: 1% rostered): The injuries to Riley Greene and now Akil Baddoo have allowed Kerry Carpenter to play full-time. He has gone 10-for-15 in his past four games and should see a steady diet of at-bats until the walking wounded are back walking.Colton Cowser, OF, BAL (CBS: 28% rostered, ESPN: 1% rostered): If it wasn’t for the quad injury, there’s a good chance Cowser would already be plying his trade in Baltimore. Now recovered, how long will it take to see him plyi
