Fantasy Baseball Live – May 26, 2024Segments 1 and 2 – Review of the weekend gamesAdditional Notes:1.Jackson Chourio had his 150th at-bat on Friday.  It’s a win, but not a confident win.  Are you disappointed in his performance, or is this what you thought coming into the season would happen?a.Joey Wiemer gets demoted, and Oliver Dunn is back up.  Any interest?2.The Mets – WOW…on a brutal stretch. Diaz with another blown save.  Lindor absolutely quitting on a pitch.  He said he could pick up the spin and was hoping the pitcher would throw a ball.  What???3.What happened to George Springer?4.Wyatt Langford has started his rehab and should be back soon.  Would/should the Rangers send Evan Carter down in a corresponding move?  He’s not been good and is not going to get in better, hitting against lefties while on the bench.5.Jordan Beck broke his hand and will be out for a while.  That’s a bummer.6.News flash – The Yankees are really good. They have the best record in the American League.  And, Gerrit Cole is starting to ramp upSegment 3 – Waiver WireSegment 4 – Closer ReportClose

2243 - Waiver Wire - May 26, 2024

Take 10 with Tim – May 24, 2024 @ 8 am1.Real or Memorex – These players are all playing well and are outearning their draft slots. Is this a new level or is a correction coming?a.David Fry (Cle, 67th catcher [Drafted in only 48 leagues out of 5000 in the NFBC], 6th ranked catcher) - .338 BA, .476 OBP, 5 HR, 32 RBIb.Connor Joe (Pit, 88, 11) - .277 BA, .345 OBP, 6 HR, 2 SB, 25 runs, 22 RBIc.Jordan Westburg (Bal, 32, 7) - .288 BA, .339 OBP, 7 HR, 5 SB, 24 runs, 29 RBId.Maikel Garcia (KC, 20, 5) - .263 BA, .308, 5 HR, 11 SB, 28 runs, 32 RBIe.Jose Caballero (TB, 40, 11) - .257 BA, .315 OBP, 2 HR, 17 SB (8 CS), 21 runs, 14 RBI f.Brent Rooker (Oak, 73, 8) - .288 BA, .361 OBP, 11 HR, 2 SB, 23 runs, 32 RBIg.Jarren Duran (Bos, 35, 12) - .271 BA, .342 OBP, 2 HR, 11 SB, 30 runs, 20 RBIh.Jo Adell (LAA, 245, 15) - .242 BA, .311 OBP, 9 HR, 8 SB, 25 runs, 24 RBIi.Brenton Doyle (Col, 102, 16) - .274 BA, .335 OBP, 5 HR, 9 SB, 29 runs, 13 RBIj.Brandon Marsh (Phi, 89, 28) - .252 BA, .323 OBP, 6 HR, 8 SB, 16 runs, 23 RBI2.We joked when Cal Quantrill got traded to the Rockies last November, but he’s getting the last laugh. His season looks a lot like his breakout season in 2022. He’s posting a 3.59 ERA, but not striking out a ton (about seven per nine) with three wins. He’s even pitching a sub 4.00 ERA in four starts at home. a.Should I be excited about this or is this a mirage?b.He should get traded at the deadline, but with the Rockies do it?3.Josh Hader has settled down and has pitched much better of late. Should we look at him as a Top 3 closer again?4.I actually liked Nick Gonzales entering this season and he made my target list for Draft and Hold Leagues. I’m sure people thought I was crazy, but he’s been ok. He looks like he’s turning back into the player that he was in his first two years of college – a contact hitter with doubles power and 10 to 12 home run pop. Your thoughts?5.Is there any reason to expect Eloy Jimenez to play more than 100 games a year? He’s done 120 for two seasons, 55 and 84, and is hurt again. Do you just avoid rostering these injured-riddled players?6.Xander Boegarts fractured his shoulder and hits the IL for a while. I’m assuming Arraez moves to second. Who gets his playing time?7.Julio Rodriguez still hits the ball hard (92.6 MPH exit velo) and is still in the 98th percentile in speed, but he’s striking out 28% of the time and walking less than 6% of the time – both career worst. His quality of contact (squared-up balls) is in the bottom 20% of the league. How concerned should fantasy managers be?8.One question after today’s games…9.What hitter are you targeting this weekend?10.What pitcher are you targeting this weekend?

2242 - Are these performances real?

The following prospects are discussed:1. Brennen Davis (CHC)2. Gavin Cross (KC)3. Miguel Bleis (Bos)4. Yasser Mercedes (Min)5. Braxton Ashcraft (Pit)6. Owen Murphy (Atl)

Fantasy Baseball Live – May 19, 2024 @ 3 pmSegments 1 and 2 – Review of weekend gamesAdditional Notes:1.What’s going on with Edwin Diaz?  What do fantasy managers do?2.Walker Buehler with a great start.  Is he back, or will there be some wobbles?3.Luis Matos – Looking good4.Blake Snell looks untouchable in his rehab.  Are you buying it?Segment 3 – Waiver WireSegment 4 – Closer ReportClose

2240 - Waiver Wire - May 19, 2024

Take 10 with Tim – Saturday, May 18 @ 8 am1.The Pirates DFA’d, Roansy Contreras and then traded him to the Angels. Will this be another reclamation of a failed Pirates starter or someone to avoid?2.How worried are you about Ronald Acuna? The Braves gave him Thursday off as a baseball “De-Tox” day. He’s slashing .245/.354/.342, which looks more like his 2022 season than his 2023 season. Will 2023 be his outlier season?3.The White Sox acquired Corey Julks from the Astros as he was likely going to be DFA’d. He had some good games last year with the Astros and has played pretty well this year in Triple-A. I would think he would get a chance. Any interest?4.Who are you most surprised with this season between the following pairs?a.Ryan Jeffers 10 home runs or Brent Rookers’ 10 home runsb.Randy Arozarena’s .159 batting average or Corbin Carroll’s .193 batting averagec.William Contreras’ .359 batting average or Jeremey Pena’s .329 batting averaged.Carlos Rodon health or Tyler Glasnow healthe.Ranger Suarez arguably being the best pitcher in the league to-date or Shota Imanaga arguably being the best pitcher in the leaguef.Dylan Cease’s bounce back or Jack Flaherty’sg.Tanner Bibee’s 4.34 ERA or Michael King’s 4.31 ERAh.Kyle Finnegan’s league-leading 13 saves or Suarez’s 12 savesi.The Astros’ 18 and 25 start or the Blue Jays 19 and 23 start5.A lot of people drafted and have kept Jasson Dominguez on their benches/IL. He’s rehabbing now. What are odds he starts back in Triple-A after his rehab?a.Should managers be prepared to drop him or still hold onto him?6.I released my updated Top 400 Prospects to our Patreon subscribers and the Top 100 for everyone. Let’s do one segment on questions you might have. Just a handful. Maybe certain players, when a guy might be up….anything. 7.What hitter are you targeting for this weekend’s FAAB?8.What pitcher are you targeting for this weekend’s FAAB?
