I started with my Draft Preview yesterday and wrote up the first 15 players I would take in a FYPD. Roch Cholowsky, the long-time favorite of everyone to go #1 in FYPD (and by MLB teams as well) reminds me a bit of Crews. Can't miss college hitter with power – but unlike Crews, he doesn't have much speed. When I was writing up my notes, I kept thinking of Crews, and maybe a little of Corey Seager. If you're picking #1 in a FYPD, do you pick the safe guy in Cholowsky, or do you go with somebody with more explosive tools but with more risk?4.The discussion of Shane Bieber was on our list last week but we talked to much and never got to him. I asked, would you start Shane Bieber given the drop in velo he was showing in his rehab. Now, we have a game under his belt and it wasn't great = 3.2 IP, 9 hits, 4 ER, 3 HR, 2K/0BB. His fastball wasn't any better at 91.9 mph and he's throwing his cutter more to try and compensate.a.How are you treating him for the next few starts? Starting him because he's Shane Bieber, looking at matchups, or on the bench? He has Texas at home on Sunday.5.One of our Pateron members reach out about Jakob Marsee and whether he should be a keeper for next season.

Chicago sent him back to Low A to open 2026, and while he's older than the competition, he's performed exactly as a polished college bat should. The approach is mature, the power is real, and he's made a clear effort to elevate — sometimes a bit too intentionally — but the results speak for themselves as fly balls continue turning into home runs. After 14 games, he earned a promotion to High A, where the home run output dipped but the underlying metrics remained strong.The Mets saw enough and acquired him in late June in exchange for David Peterson. From a development standpoint, it's essentially a wash — both organizations do a solid job with hitters.The pedigree and strength have always been part of the projection, but fantasy managers should stay measured. Given his age and the level, he should be producing. The real test comes once he reaches Double A, where we'll learn whether the contact skills and swing decisions hold up against better sequencing and velocity. If they do, the power will play.

A blockbuster Thursday slate shook the fantasy baseball universe to its absolute core, delivering a slate-breaking power clinic from a top-tier young phenom alongside an elite pitching performance that flirted with absolute perfection.

The Tampa Bay Rays put on an absolute masterclass that dominated the fantasy landscape. Infield cornerstone Junior Caminero logged a historic, slate-shattering first career three-home run game, punishing Royals pitching to the tune of 6 RBIs in a 13-2 rout. Right behind him on the mound, Ian Seymour put together a breathtaking bulk-relief performance, carrying a collective no-hit bid into the late frames while spinning 6.2 hitless, scoreless innings with seven strikeouts. Elsewhere in the league, young frontline arms flashed jaw-dropping upside. Bryce Miller weaponized an uncatchable arsenal to fan 11 batters over 5.2 frames, Tatsuya Imai fanned 10 in a stellar 6-inning duel to outlast Troy Melton, and Connelly Early logged nine punchouts to match Cam Schlittler's electric 9-strikeout showcase. After an agonizing slump, Freddy Peralta finally provided a massive sigh of relief for his fantasy managers, bouncing back beautifully from his previous shellacking to fire 5.2 brilliant, scoreless innings. Meanwhile, the power surges continued at the dish, as Caleb Durbin launched another long ball, and Texas phenom Wyatt Langford kept his blistering hot streak alive by clearing the fences yet again. On the flip side, several high-investment foundational players completely tanked fantasy ratios on Thursday. Premium righty Seth Lugo was targeted early and often, completely unraveling to surrender seven earned runs in just five painful innings. Kevin Gausman similarly hit a devastating structural roadblock, shelled for six earned runs on 10 hard hits across six laborious frames. Relief depth took a massive hit too, as Gus Varland collapsed out of the bullpen, tagged for five earned runs while failing to finish his second frame. High-profile rookies also endured a harsh reality check, with both Jac Caglianone and Nick Kurtz going completely quiet, turning in empty 0-for-4 nights anchored by three empty strikeouts apiece. The active fantasy landscape is bracing for a monumental weekend wave of high-impact activations and structural shifts. Roster reinforcements are officially incoming as dynamic shortstop centerpiece Bobby Witt Jr. is anticipated to make his highly awaited return to lineups today, and Corey Seager is officially back in action. Arizona's active rotation gets an immediate jolt with Brandon Pfaadt taking the bump today, newly flanked by veteran Max Kepler, who officially linked up with the Diamondbacks yesterday. However, it's not all positive news; Toronto suffers a blow as infield stabilizer Spencer Horwitz heads to the injured list, Oakland's Zack Gelof lands on the IL with a hand fracture, and the Cubs lose depth with Ben Brown sidelined due to a neck issue. Meanwhile, fantasy managers are keeping a vigilant eye on young catcher Cooper Ingle and tracking Matthew Boyd's progress as he works back toward rotation durability after a 4.2-inning buildup outing.
