The Marlins called up Yamamoto and not Gallen. Why? Are the cracked? Are they tanking? Is something else going on? Hint: we will discuss the 40-man roster. How long will Brett Anderson last as a usable piece? What about DeSclafani? Eflin is rolling for the Phillies, but should you be selling? Ditto Kelly with the […]

The 2019 season is underway and, predictably, it’s a disaster. Some teams seem to have no plan at all. Other teams are continually searching for answers to get the last out, either because of poor performance or injury. Very few are the situations that have nary an issue. Each week we will try to get […]

Peter Alonso has been mashing up a storm for the Mets. Will it continue? Adam Eaton has been solid. Enrique Hernandez just hasn’t been anything special. Eloy Jimenez is blasting away, and all of a sudden people remember he’s an elite end hitting prospect. Yoan Moncada has swing and miss in his game, but the […]

Chase Anderson, are there concerns? Homers have been an issue for Bieber. Is there reason to be bullish with Flaherty? Fried has been solid for the Braves, but… Jon Gray continues to befuddle the baseball community. Brad Keller has some positives and some negatives. What is the end result? LeBlanc or Reynaldo Lopez, which hurler […]

What the hell is going on with Tommy La Stella and Tom Murphy? Soler has been productive, really. Trumbo is nearing a return to action. Should you care? What is going on with Winker? […]
