Week 10 NFBC FAAB preview
Take 10 with Tim – May 23, 2025 @ 9:30 am 1.I know everyone loves Juan Soto, but with eight home runs and a .247 batting average after 30% of the games played this season, it looks a lot like 2022 when he hit 27 home runs and had a .242 average. He is stealing bases, which helps, but should owners be worried? Is this the player they drafted?a.He's also been criticized for his lack of hustle. Do you think that now that he's being paid, he's lost something?2.Sal Perez and Adley Rutschman hit home runs on Wednesday. It was Adley's first home run since April 20, and he's barely hitting above the Mendoza line. Perez last hit a home run on April 13 and is also just above the Mendoza line. Who are you more concerned about for the rest of the season?3.Dylan Crews will be out for a while after suffering an oblique strain on Tuesday. Robert Hassell III gets the call. He's far from the player everyone expected when he was drafted by the Padres in the first round in 2020, but he's played alright this season, with a .288 batting average, four home runs, and nine stolen bases. What do you expect, and how long do you think he'll be out?4.Patrick Corbin looked like he was playing out the string after signing that great contract with Washington. He went unowned in most leagues. This year, he's been a different guy. Pitching for Texas, he's won three games and posting a 3.59 ERA. However, he's not striking out many (6.75 K/9) and his xERA is 4.56.a.You can't sell high (maybe you can), but what do you do here? Keep starting him every week? Pick and choose based on matchups? Something else?5.In the past three games, Will Warren has a record of 2-0, with a 1.50 ERA and a 13:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He has lowered his ERA to 4.05. Is this merely a hot streak, or are we witnessing a breakout?6.Matt Shaw returns to the Cubs, and Moises Ballesteros is sent down. This is Shaw's second chance. Will this time be better?7.Rank the Top 10 pitchers you would like to own over the rest of the season.1)Skubal2)Skenes3)Yamamoto4)Wheeler5)Fried6)Brown7)deGrom8)Senga9)Bibee10)Warren8.If something pops up today, we will include9.What one hitter are you targeting in this weekend's FAAB?Robert Hassell III (OF, Was)10.What one pitcher are you targeting in this weekend's FAAB?Daniel Palenecia (RHP, CHC)

Mine are the following:a.Adley Rutschman – I was worried entering the season since he doesn't hit the ball that hard, but I heard so many excuses from listeners, I believed them.

I know I'm struggling. I have excellent teams in a couple of leagues, but my closers suck or are hurt. Last Sunday, I spent a fortune on Will Vest in Detroit as it looked like he had the job. Now, maybe he doesn't.a.What's your advice for me and others who are struggling?b.Should managers go for the hot potential closer like Vest or instead spend less on setup guys?2.Potential young breakout pitchers. Who are you buying? We will talk about each and then I'll have you order them in how you like them for the rest of the season and then their careers?a.Brandon Pfaadt (AZ, age=26, rank=18) – 6 GS, 5 wins, 2.78 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, 29Ks/4BB in 35.2 IPb.Jesus Luzardo (PHI, 27, 15) – 6 GS, 3 wins, 1.73 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, 41K/10BB in 36.1 IPc.McKenzie Gore (Was, 26, 26) – 7 GS, 2 wins, 3.51 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 59K/9BB in 41 IPd.Max Meyer (Mia, 26, 37) – 6 GS, 2 wins, 3.18 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, 47K/11BB in 34 IPe.Casey Mize (Det, 28, 42) – 5 GS, 4 wins, 2.12 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, 23K/7BB in 29.2 IP3.Potential young breakout pitchers. Who are you buying? We will talk about each and then I'll have you order them in how you like them for the rest of the season and then their careers?a.Pete Crow Armstrong (CHC, 23, 10) - 6 HR, 12 SB, 23 runs, 21 RBI, .315 BAb.Tyler Soderstrom (ATH, 23, 50) – 9 HR, 1 SB, 20 runs, 24 RBI, .349 BAc.Spencer Torkelson (Det, 25, 65) – 8 HR, 1 SB, 20 runs, 24 RBI, .359 BAd.Wilyer Abreu (Bos, 25, 78) – 6 HR, 4 SB, 18 runs, 21 RBI, .295 BAe.Ben Rice (NYY, 26, 113) – 8 HR, 2 SB, 22 runs, 13 RBI, .266 BA4.In doing the research for the potential breakouts, two players caught my eye. What do you think about these two:a.JP Sears (ATH, 29, 33) – 6 GS, 4 wins, 2.94 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, 30K/6BB in 33.2 IPb.Griffin Canning (NYM, 28, 40) – 6 GS, 4 wins, 2.61 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, 31K/14BB in 31 IP5.Lance McCullers Jr (Remember him?) will make his 2025 debut on Sunday against the White Sox. I'm assuming you have to start him, but is there anything there with this kid or is it impossible to tell?a.Ranger Suarez also makes his debut on Sunday against the Diamondbacks. Are you starting him?b.ROS – McCullers or Suarez?6.Over/Under gamea.Aaron Judge: AL MVP – more yes or nob.Oneil Cruz: 1st round pick in 2026 – more yes or noc.Corbin Carroll: 25-25 seasond.Kyle Manzardo: 30 HRse.MacKenzie Gore: 200 strikeouts – 11 were over 200 in 20247.What hitter are you targeting for this week's FAAB?8.What pitcher are you targeting for this week's FAAB?

Take 10 with Tim – April 25, 2025 – 9:30/8:30 amMicrosoft Teams Invite:1.Well, that didn't take long. After only 32 games in the minor leagues, the Athletics had seen enough and promoted Nick Kurtz to the Majors. He already has his first hit. How many more?a.Stat line for 2025: AB, HR, RBI, BAb.My buddy Agustin Ramirez finally got the call and promptly went 5 for 8 in his first two games. I think this guy hits and pop.i.Your thoughts?c.Surprisingly, the Rays promoted Chandler Simpson to the show and there was no word of a 8-year, $10 million contract that he signed.i.Over-under 40 stolen bases.d.Give me two or three of the next prospects you think will get the call?2.I read yesterday that Triston Casas is moving his hands around trying to find something that works as he's off to a brutal start to the season. He's had two home runs since the change. Just luck, or perhaps he found something?a.In looking at the data, his hard hit rates are about the same, and his strikeout rate is down. It might be that his .193 BABIP needs to be corrected.3.PCA appears to be breaking out as the power I discussed when he was a prospect appears to be emerging. The hard hit rates and exit velo are all solid-average.a.Stat line for 2025: HR, SB, and BA4.Let's take a look at the standings – just looking for surprise starts (both good and bad) and do you think they will stay that way.a.American Leagueb.National League5.We talked about rookies a lot because everyone knows Mookie Betts is good. I forgot who you picked for ROY, so I'll let you complete a do-over if you want. One favorite and one deep sleepera.ROY for the ALb.ROY for the NL6.AJ Puk appears to be seriously hurt as he's seeking a second opinion about his left elbow. Are you shifting to Justin Martinez?7.Let's look at the Top 15 players according to baseballsavant in Barrels per plate appearances. 8.Kumar Rocker got rocked again on Wednesday and didn't get out of the second inning. Is it time to move on from him? How worried should Dynasty League managers be?9.What one hitter are you looking to add in this weekend's FAAB?10.What one pitcher are you looking to add in this weekend's FAAB?
