Segments 1 and 2 – Review the weekend games
Additional Notes:
1.Mookie Betts with an oblique and Hunter Brown with a shoulder?
a.Who are the pickups?
2.What happened to Cristian Javier, or was he always overrated? He’s a flyball pitcher with a 92-93 mph fastball. While he had a great season in 2022, he wasn’t good prior to TJS and has been really inconsistent since.
a.Is he somebody who can bounce back?
3.When do we start to worry about Nick Kurtz? Prior to Saturday’s game, he’s one for 21...

Take 10 with Tim – April 3, 2026 @ 9:15 am – 1 hr
1.    Now were talking…Konnor Griffin will be promoted prior to Friday’s game.  It’s being reported that the Pirates signed him to a nine year, $140 million contract.  It was in line with what the Red Sox signed Roman Anthony for last season 8-years and $130 million.
a.    It’s smart given what has happened to contracts, but as we’ve been saying, you’ve got to get Griffin in the big leagues soon to get acclimated
i.    Ok – projections – AB, HR, SB and BA
ii.    Does this make a difference for the Pirates?  If so, how m...

Segment 1 – News and Notes
1.Dylan Crews was demoted this weekend. While surprising on one level, I had concerns after reviewing the data over the winter and shared that with our Patreon members. Plus, he just didn’t perform well this spring.

Segment 2 – News and Notes
1.Zack Wheeler might not have much, if any, time, as he’s being targeted for a debut on April 9th. He hasn’t risen too much in ADP, likely as TOS has proven challenging to work through. He went in the early part of the eighth round in LABR. Thoughts on how to handle Wheeler this season?

2.What did you think of Tatsuya Imai debut? He averaged 93...

Rich and Tim continue their discussion about the 2026 starting pitchers

Fantasy Baseball Live – February 15, 2025 – 12 noon


Segments 1 – News and Notes

1.Hamate surgery has struck early and often, with three prominent players, Corbin Carroll, Francisco Lindor, and Jackson Holliday, going down in the first week of Spring Training. Each has already been downshifted in drafts. Too much, not enough, or just right? Also, should we draft their backup in drafts?
a.Corbin Carroll – Moved from 8.08 to 13.20
b.Francisco Lindor – Move from 16.66 to 27.80
c.Jackson Holliday – Moved from 136.36 to 162.40

2.The Blue Jays and Astros exchange outfielders with the Astros receiving Joey Loperfido and the Blue Jay...

The following players are discussed:

1. Ethan Holliday (SS, Col) - Advanced bat, plus hit tool, developing power, solid athlete
2. Kade Anderson (LHP, Sea) - Advanced command, polished pitch mix, competitive edge; mid‑rotation with strikeout upside.
3. Tatsuya Imai (RHP, Hou) - Undersized right-handed hitter with a lower three-quarters delivery. 97 to 99 MPH fastball that flattens out due to his arm swing. Plus slider.
4. Liam Doyle (LHP, STL) - Swing-and-miss lefty with a deceptive splitter. Could be a high-strikeout SP2 if he stays healthy.
5. Kazuma Okamoto (3B, Tor) - Older prospect who demonstrated plus power and a...

Fantasy Baseball Live – February 8, 2026 @ 1 pm ET

Segment 1 – News and Notes
1.The Reds sign Eugenio Suarez for a one-year, $15 million contract. He mostly played third base last season, but with future HOFer Ke’Bryan Hayes there, I guess he’ll be the full-time DH.
a.Thoughts?
b.In looking at their lineup, Spencer Steer or Sal Stewart is going to lose playing time. Steer is 28 and is one year removed from a 20-20 season, but with serious concerns about how much he’ll hit, and Sal Stewart is a rookie, although he looked great in his debut last...

Segment 1 – News and Notes
1.The Giants agree on a one year deal for Luis Arraez. While the adage that there is no bad deal, I’m not sure what this does for the Giants except block Casey Schmitt – but maybe he’s not much better. Is there anything here for fantasy managers?
2.The Giants also sign Harrison Bader. Any interest?
3.The White Sox sign Seranthony Dominguez. I know the White Sox have said that they will make Grant Taylor a multi-inning reliever, so I’m assuming Dominguez is the closer. How ar...

2.The White Sox finally trade Luis Roberts – moving him to the Mets IF/OF Luisangel Acuna and RHP Truman Pauley

Tim interviews Rich about the Dodgers, Padres, and Giants prospects.

Segment 1 – News and Notes
1.    The Dodgers made a splash by signing Kyle Tucker to the largest AAV in history – 4 years and $240 million with opt-outs after 2027 and 2028.8.
a.    A lot of people are upset about the dominance of the Dodgers.  “They are ruining baseball!”  What say you?
b.    Were you surprised that Tucker signed a shorter deal but for more money?
c.    The odd thing is that he’s not even the best player on the team, maybe not even the top 3 players on the team.
d.    I don’t see any playing time loss for anyone with the exceptio...
