We’re at the point of the season that we kinda know who players are. At least we think we do. Are they performing up to expectations or are the struggling to live up to the hopes placed on their shoulders? That said, do we really “know” who players are? Is it possible that the guy […]

Prospect Watch 2019: Week 15
Each week we will try to give a quick update on each of the top-40 minor leaguers that could help out in the fantasy game in 2019. Of course, there is an element of uncertainty with all of this as we never quite know when a team will decide to call up a youngster or […]
Ray’s Ramblings: Mound Mavens, July 2nd
It sounds like the Red Sox may have found their closer… in Nathan Eovaldi? Andrew Cashner has actually been a usable piece. Kinda. Maybe. DeSclafani has surged as the weather has warmed. Eflin and Fried have had strong first halves. What is coming in the second? Is there anything to like with the following trio […]

Ray’s Ramblings: Mound Mavens, June 28th
Arrieta is just average, maybe. Corbin is missing bats and has been good, without matching last season. Boyd has hit the skids, but should you panic with the lefty from Detroit? The Braves’ Fried has been solid, but… Gibson has quietly been pretty darn effective. What has Keuchel looked like his first two starts? Marquez […]
