But, 5 HR, 14 SB and .270 BA. For a waiver wire guy as your middle infielder, not bad.f.Third basei.Tim – Kaz Okamotoii.Curtis Mead – A guy I always liked, but if I'm being honest, I would have bet Asia over what he's doing this season – by a wide margin. 14 HR, 4 SB, but only a .227 BA g.Outfield (3)i.Tim – James Wood, Andy Pages, Carson Bengeii.PCA – I know he was a second round pick, but he's on pace for a 40-40 season and if that happens, he's a Top 3 pick.iii.Jordan Walker – 18 HR, 10 SB, 58 RBIs, and a .288 average. As a reminder, he was the 87th outfielder off the board.iv.Angel Martinez – He's on the IL, but 11 HR and 9 SB for the 270th outfielder off the board. h.Starting Pitcher (3)i.Tim – Foster Griffin, Eduardo Rodriguez, Jacob Misiowroskiii.Kyle Harrison – 2.57 ERA, 8 wins, 96 Ks.

Take 10 with Tim – June 26, 2026 @ 9:15 am.1.We had a trade on Wednesday night with the Cubs acquiring David Peterson from the Mets for minor leaguer Cole Mathis – Cole Mathis profile is at the end of the notes.a.Is this the first sign of the Mets throwing in the towel?b.If so, give me the top 3 players the Mets will trade before the deadline?c.Will Lindor or Soto be one of those players?d.Good move for the Cubs?e.Who gets Peterson's starts in New York? Tong?f.Kodai Senga – Yuk – moved to the bullpen.2.It's been a month since Dylan Crews returned. He's hitting .212 with five home runs and two stolen bases. Remarkably, he's walked twice in 124 plate appearances and is sporting a .250 OBP. a.We will look at his baseballsavant data as well.b.What do Dynasty League managers do and are you still all-in or starting to lose confidence in him?3.Related. 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. I did a full breakdown on him and will share, but wanted to get your take on what has to be a disappointing season for where you had to take him in fantasy leagues.6.A few Rookies starting to show their stuff – Fact of Fictiona.Jac Caglianone – 14 home runs, but striking out a lot and a .352 BABIP is propping up his .275 BAb.TJ Rumfield – 12 HR, .275 BA, and a 47K/28BB, 15% K-Rate c.Bryce Eldridge – 130 AB, 6 HR, .285 BA, 34K/21BB – 22% K-Rated.Foster Griffin – 91.1 IP, 3.15 ER, 4.09 xERAe.Gage Jump – 35.1 IP, 2.04 ERA, 35K/10BB. 3.71 ERA at home, 0.49 away. Overall, 2.94 xERA7.What hitter are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB?8.What pitcher are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB?Cole Mathis (3B/1B)Highest Level: High-A ETA: 2028 Fantasy Ceiling: Corner InfielderLast Updated: 06/25/2026Tools Summary: Polished power bat whose real test begins at Double A.Cole Mathis, the Cubs' second round pick in 2024, lost most of his first professional season to Tommy John surgery and was limited to just 25 games in 2025. 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.

Take 10 with Tim – June 19, 2026Microsoft Teams:1.We are approaching the halfway mark of the season (45% completed), so let's draft the first round of the 2027 Draft based on what we know today.1)Bobby Witt Jr. (Tim)2)Shohei Ohtani (Rich)3)Juan Soto (Tim)4)James Wood (Rich)5)Aaron Judge (Tim)6)Elly De La Cruz (Rich)7)Jacob Misiorowski (Tim)8)Pete Crow-Armstrong (Rich)9)Yordan Alvarez (Tim)10)Nick Kurtz (Rich)11)Jose Ramirez (Tim)12)O'Neil Cruz (Rich)13)Paul Skenes (Tim)14)Tarik Skubal (Rich)15)Corbin Carroll (Tim)16)Julio Rodriguez (Rich)2.Andrew Painter was optioned back to the minor leagues. The performance was pretty awful with a 7.20 ERA and only two more strikeouts than runs earned runs – Yikes.a.For Dynasty League managers, are you still all-in? He still has minor league eligibility in some leagues. Does that play a role in whether you cut him or not?3.It's been a month since Dylan Crews returned. He's hitting .189 with four home runs and two stolen bases. Remarkably, he's walked twice in 100 plate appearances and is sporting a .230 OBP. a.We will look at his baseballsavant data as well.b.Similar to Painter, what do Dynasty League managers do and you still all-in or starting to lose confidence in him?4.There's no timeline for Ronald Acuna returning to game action, except Walt Weiss saying – “he's a long from returning”. Let's look at his injury history.a.82 games played in 2021, 119 in 2022, 159 in 2023, 49 in 2024, and 95 in 2025. That's 64 games a year or 40% of the games – in 5 years. Why are people still taking this guy in the first round? I get the potential, but this run makes Byron Buxton look Ripken-esque. What am I missing?5.Shane Bieber looks ready to go, although his fastball only averaged 91.8 (T 93). He's never thrown hard, but he's also soon to be 32. Are you starting him immediately after his activated from the IL?6.The Mariners are supposedly going to a piggyback scenario. If I have it right, they will take their six starters and stick to a five man rotation, but players will take turns starting innings (1 – 4) and (5 – 8). I guess, sometimes the starter will go 5, but who knows. If you have Mariners' pitchers, what do you do?a.Two of the best pitchers in the minor leagues are Ryan Sloan and Kade Anderson. Both are shoving it in Double-A and look nearly ready. How on earth do they get a shot?7.What hitter are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB?a.Cooper Pratt 8.What pitcher are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB?a.Shane Drohan

Take 10 with Tim – May 29, 2026 @ 9:15 am1.David Sandlin and Gage Jump made their MLB debut this week.a.Sandlin (RHP, CHW) – 6.0 IP, 1 hit, 1 ER, 4K/0BB; FB: 97.7 mph (T 99.3), CB: 29% whiff rateb.Gage Jump (LHP, ATH) – 5.0 IP, 9 hits, 4 ER, 5K/1BB; FB: 95.9 mph (T 97.9); SL 45% whiff rate; sweeper 33% whiff ratec.Jump is the more heralded as the Red Sox had moved Sandlin to the bullpen, but after the trade to the White Sox and moving back to the rotation, and had him throw his curveball more, he's been better. Jump of course pitches half his games in Sacramentod.Who will you make the larger bid this weekend?2.Teoscar Hernandez pulls a hammy and will be lost for a few weeks. Tommy Edman is due back soon, and then there's Alek Thomas or Ryan Ward. I'm guessing you're not too interested, given the situation, or are you?a.I'm assuming when Tommy Edman is ready to return, he'll be the Dodgers' second baseman. Is that how you see it?b.I got an interesting text from a Patreon member discussing all the potential bad contracts looming for the Dodgers. Let's look at their roster and see if we can figure out what they will do in a few years.i.Los Angeles Dodgers 2026 Financial Summaryii.Here's how I responded:1.Question: We hold up the Dodgers as the exemplar org in baseball, but many of their big contracts are going to start looking very bad, as soon as next year. Is it possible that their model actually turns sour? 2.My Response: “I think that's been their strategy. Play for today and worry about tomorrow some other day. Remember, they also have a bunch of deferred money kicking in with Ohtani, etc. one thought is as they deal with the bad contracts, they promote all their young kids as cheap alternatives as the Mookies of the world become backup players. So cheap everyday players and expensive backups. Besides Betts and Smith, freeman, Tucker, Teoscar all are done in three more years. The strategy might work. I will say that Smith's contract looks the worse but he's also the most reasonable. They might have to buy him out. Mookie should be ok for next 2 years and then, his will really look ugly”3.Tatsuya Imai was involved in a no-hitter this week. He danced around four walks over six innings and then turned it over to the bullpen. It wasn't pretty, but he's in the history books.a.I'm assuming you are still concerned?b.How should I view him moving forward?4.Let's take a look at the standings5.Top Ranked Fantasy Players according to Fantrax.
