Take 10 with Tim – May 11, 2024

1.Paul Skenes will make his Major League debut today (Saturday). He’s being hyped relentlessly. MLB.COM has an article entitled: The making of Paul Skenes a ‘one’ in a decade kind of pitcher.
a.Are you starting him?

2.Let’s take a look at the standing since we are getting close to the quarter point in the season.

3.Well, that didn’t last long, as Tyler Black was optioned back to Triple-A. When do you think we'll see him back up?

4.Willson Contreras got hit in the arm by a swing from JD Martinez. I read that the Cardinals had him move closer and given how deep Martinez is in the box, well, it didn’t go well. It’s interesting you don’t see more of this.

a.Who gets the playing time in St. Louis? Are you interested?

5.Kyle Harrison has been great this season, posting a 3.20 ERA. Who are your top two ROY contributors in each league at this point?

6.While we are waiting for the Rays to promote Junior Caminero, the Rays promoted Jonny DeLuca instead, and he’s been great so far. Any thoughts?

7.The Angels put Brandon Drury and Luis Rengifo on the IL. Let’s take a look at the Angels lineup and discuss who is “startable” in a fantasy league.

8.Maybe a question from tonight’s game…we will see..

9.Which hitter are you targeting for this weekend’s FAAB?

10.Which pitcher are you targeting for this weekend’s FAAB?
