  • Episode 48: Interview with Ethan Guevin (Keep Playing Baseball)

    Episode 48 of the podcast is a little different. I took a hiatus from fantasy baseball research, analysis and strategy to interview my brother, Ethan, about his non-profit, Keep Playing Baseball (Twitter: @KeepPlayingBB). As the end of the year approaches and folks consider end-of-year donations to their favorite non-profit 501c3 charities, I thought it would be fun to interview him about the great work he’s doing to make college baseball accessible to high school players. I hope you enjoy the interview and, if you’re interested in donating to support their work after learning more, you can do so at keepplayingbaseball.org/donate. Thanks for listening, happy holidays and happy new year!

Treatment to Smada’s (Twitter: @smada_bb) new creation, minor league rolling average graphs (Twitter: @MinorGraphs). Is Rendon ready to fill the void left by Bryce Harper?

  • Episode 46: Bogaerts, Brantley & Quintana
    Episode 46 profiles Red Sox SS Xander Bogaerts, free agent OF Michael Brantley and Cubs SP Jose Quintana. I also talk about the increasing ADP of Orioles speedster Jonathan Villar and what it means for two rabid fan bases—Villar and Adalberto Mondesi Truthers. Do Bogaerts skills support his strong 2018 or was he simply a product of the strong Red Sox lineup? Is Brantley’s injury history suppressing his ADP and creating a value opportunity? Is Jose Quintana done or were there any silver linings in his atrocious 2018? Let’s dig in and find out. Players discussed: Xander Bogaerts (10:45), Michael Brantley (29:00) and Jose Quintana (44:17). Twitter: @BatFlipCrazy.

  • Episode 45: Luis Castillo, Jeff McNeil & Marcell Ozuna
    Episode 45 profiles Reds SP Luis Castillo, Mets 2B Jeff McNeil and Cardinals OF Marcell Ozuna. What is they key to making Castillo’s 2019 more like his rookie campaign than his disappointing sophomore efforr? Is McNeil worth drafting higher than some solid veterans with similar skills? Should we expect Ozuna version 2018 or 2017? I also explore a new concept that has me enthused—the psychology of BABIP regression—and give my thoughts on the big three-way trade between the Rays, Indians and Mariners. Let’s dive in! Topics discussed: Luis Castillo (10:25), Jeff McNeil (35:49), Marcell Ozuna (48:34) and the psychology of BABIP regression (1:03:55). Twitter: @BatFlipCrazy.

    Episode 44 profiles two Rockies SP with very different ADP trends in German Marquez and Jon Gray. Can fantasy owners trust a Rockies SP enough to draft him in the top 75? Can Jon Gray right his previous wrongs (and those BABIP issues)? Let’s dig in. Players discussed: German Marquez (8:36) and Jon Gray (28:33). Twitter: @BatFlipCrazy.

  • Episode 43: Chris Taylor, Kole Calhoun & Reynaldo Lopez
    Episode 43 profiles Dodgers SS/OF Chris Taylor, Angels OF Kole Calhoun and White Sox SP Reynaldo Lopez. Is Taylor a post-hype value at an ADP over 200? Calhoun worth a flier near his 400 ADP? Can Lopez repeat his awesome end of season over a full year in 2019? Let’s find out! Players discussed: Chris Taylor (5:35), Kole Calhoun (22:51) and Reynaldo Lopez (36:12). Twitter: @BatFlipCrazy

    Episode 42 profiles Royals 2B/OF and speedster Whit Merrifield, Phillies OF phenom Rhys Hoskins, Astros OF leadoff hitter George Springer, and Mets SP and Norse God Noah Syndergaard. How does Merrifield’s high ADP change his value proposition to fantasy owners? Should you draft Hoskins or Springer for your OF? Are there signs that Thor may be close to regaining his throne alongside other elite SP? Let’s find out. Players discussed: Whit Merrifield (5:05), Rhys Hoskins (21:16), George Springer (37:26) and Noah Syndergaard (56:58, more on Thor in the wrap up, too).

  • Episode 41: Cody Bellinger and Ozzie Albies
    Episode 41 profiles Dodgers 1B/OF Cody Bellinger and Braves 2B Ozzie Albies. High expectations have pushed these two up draft boards in their early careers, but are they worth the cost? Let’s dive into the numbers. Players discussed: Cody Bellinger (2:27) and Ozzie Albies (17:43).

  • Episode 40: K. Davis, Rizzo, Snell & Cole
    Episode 40 profiles slugger Khris Davis, Cubs first basemen Anthony Rizzo, Cy Young winner Blake Snell and Astros co-ace Gerrit Cole. I also give some love to xStats.org’s detailed batted ball profiles in the Reach, Charles! segment. Can Davis hit .247 again? Will Rizzo’s power rebound? After league-winning performances in 2018, can Snell and Cole live up to their high ADPs? Players discussed: Khris Davis (4:10), Anthony Rizzo (19:31), Blake Snell (37:07) and Gerrit Cole (57:25).

  • Episode 39: Corbin, Dahl & Verlander
    Episode 39 profiles free agent pitcher Patrick Corbin, ADP surger David Dahl and fantasy ace Justin Verlander. I also give props to Alex Chamberlain (@DolphHauldhagen) in the Reach Charles! Segment for some great recent research he’s done on stolen bases and statcast power metrics. Does Corbin’s 2018 look repeatable? Is it worth buying into the Dahl hype? Is this the year Verlander starts his descent from greatness? Listen to find out. Players discussed: Patrick Corbin (2:46), David Dahl (19:05) and Justin Verlander (32:10).
