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: June 24, A Look Around
Yordan Alvarez has been absurdly good. J.P. Crawford is another young hitter who is performing. Machado is on fire, while Austin Hedges has been the exact opposite for the Padres. Jose Martinez and Eric Thames aren’t seeing huge at-bats, but both men have been very effective when in their perspective lineups. Austin Meadows – star […]
2019 Player Profile: Bobby Bradley
The Indians need offense, so they made the move over the weekend to call up one of their best power bats in Bobby Bradley. The name might be boring an uninteresting, but that doesn’t mean the game is. What do we have with power-hitting Bobby Bradley? 23 years old Bats/Throws: Left/Right Height/Weight: 6’1”, 225 lbs […]
MLB Weekly Preview: June 24-30
Jeff Mans and I were sitting around the metaphorical campfire, singing “Kumbaya” and talking about baseball, the future of the fantasy business and days of old. He reflected upon his Fantasy Alarm days and then, Eureka! Like a flash of lightning, the thought sprung from his mind… the MLB Weekly Preview. For those of you […]
Vlad’s FAAB Values – Week 14
SUNDAY AFTERNOON UPDATE Pitchers to Consider for deeper leagues Vincent Velasquez (RH/PHI) – Had somewhat of an audition to get his rotation spot earlier this week, and passed (just one hit allowed in 5 IP).

Ray’s Rundown – 6/22

(2) Story and Mondesi hurt – break down the SS position and options (Brendan Rodgers, Kevin Newman, Hanser Alberto, Nicky Lopez, Brock Holt, Lourdes Gurriel, Marcus Semien). (3) What is wrong with Blake Snell? (4) Waiver-wire: HITTERS (Zack Collins, Ryan McMahon, Dennis […]
June 21, 2019: The Catcher Position
Unless you own one of about five guys, your catcher position is a mess if you’re in a two catcher setup. We’ve got veterans doing nothing. We’ve got nobodies doing something. We’ve got injured guys struggling. Truthfully, the catcher’s spot has been a mess for years, but it’s even worse this season than in years […]
Ray’s Ramblings: Mound Mavens, June 21st
Bauer is back on his game. Plesac continues to pitch well which the Indians need, as Clevinger is headed to the IL again. Chavez has entered the rotation for the Rangers. deGrom hasn’t matched last season, but he’s not that far off. Snell was bombed, yet again, in his last outing. Giolito has been tremendous. […]
Ray’s Ramblings: Batters, June 21st
Albies has done a lot of the hot and cold thing this season. Bradley always seems to do that for the Red Sox. Melky and Miguel Cabrera are both producing batting average. Castellanos has struggled to find his footing after two solid seasons. Elias Diaz has been passable with the bat in his hands. Donaldson […]
The Closer Chart – June 20th, 2019
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 […]
