Take 10 with Tim – June 27, 2025 @ 9:30/8:30 amMicrosoft Teams1.Chase Burns. Well, what did you think?2.They both got started late, but what are the chances that Nick Kurtz and Jacob Misiorowski win the Rookie of Year honors?a.Nick Kurtz - .255/.313/.523, 11 home runs. The 11 home runs lead all rookies, actually tied with Agustin Ramirezb.Jacob Misiorowski – 16.0 IP, 3 wins, 1.13 ERA.i.Oddly, I might as the same question about another Brewer, Logan Henderson. But, he's pitching in Triple-A. BTW, since Henderson was demoted, he's pitched to a 2.66 ERA with 25 strikeouts and eight walks.c.Here's another I don't understand. Emmet Sheenen pitched six perfect innings on Wednesday – in Oklahoma City.3.First the Diamondbacks lose Corbin Burnes and now they lose Corbin Carroll with a fractured wrist. Do you think the Diamondbacks have enough to compete or will they become sellers are the deadline and reload for 2026?a.Who gets the Carroll's playing time?4.Deadline trades – We will each provide two trades we would like to see. Here are my two:a.The Marlins trade Sandy Alcantara to the Orioles for 1B/C Sam Basallo, RHP Zach Fruit, and a young high-upside player like Nate Georgei.Alcantara is signed for two more years and a reasonable 17.3 million. He's not pitched well, but I still think he'll require a huge return.b.The Diamondbacks trade Eugenio Suarez to the Tigers for a mid-tier prospect like Max Anderson or Jaden Hamm.5.The Rays have recalled Chandler Simpson. Will he get enough at-bats to pick up?6.Trevor Rogers pitched well this week. The Orioles are having him throw his fastball more often, and the velocity he lost in 2024 has improved this season. He's always had a great change-up, although it isn't generating as many whiffs as before. What are your thoughts on his prospects going forward?7.What hitter are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB8.What pitcher are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB

Take 10 with Tim – June 20, 20251.This time next week, we will be at the halfway point in the season. What three pieces of advice do you have for fantasy managers who are in the upper half of their roto league?a.Same question for H2H Leagues2.Order these five young pitchers for the rest of this season, then next season, then 3 years outa.Roki Sasaki (LAD, 23) – Currently on the IL – 5, 5, 5b.Cade Horton (CHC, 23) – 36.1 IP, 3.47 ERA, 7.18 K/9, 1.98 BB/9 – 1, 1, 1c.Logan Evans (Sea, 24) – 40.0 IP, 3.38 ERA, 6.75 K/9, 2.70 BB/9 – 2, 2, 1d.Quinn Priester (Mil, 24) – 67.2 IP, 3.46 ERA, 6.12 K/9, 3.46 BB/9 – 4, 4, 4e.Hayden Birdsong (SF, 23) – 48.1 IP, 2.79 ERA, 9.50 K/9, 3.54 BB/9 – 3, 3, 33.Who would you rather roster the rest of the season? Over the next three years.a.Junior Caminero or Roman Anthonyb.Jackson Holiday or Evan Carterc.Jackson Chourio or James Woodd.Agustin Ramirez or Tyler Soderstrome.Wyatt Langford or Dylan Crewsf.Chris Sale or Jacob deGromg.Roki Sasaki or Jackson Jobe – Let's do next five seasons on this one.h.Hunter Brown or Paul Skenesi.Garrett Crochet or Zack Wheelerj.Kodai Senga or Yamamoto4.I received a question about a trade that I wanted to run by you. In a Dynasty League, should I acquire Yordan Alvarez and give up Chase Burns? Alvarez, if he comes back, could make a difference for the manager this season. However, what about the future? . a.How would you advise5.Luke Weaver is set to return from the IL. Devin Williams has gone 5 for 5 in saves chances since Weaver went on the IL, posting a 2.89 ERA with 11 strikeouts and one walk.a.Who gets the saves in New York going forward?6.Junior Caminero hit his 17th home run this week and is on track for 35. He has consistently made solid contact, but he doesn't walk much. Are we looking at a very good player or a great player?a.Give me a comp.7.Robert Suarez has back-to-back losses. First, it was the blow-up last Saturday where he gave up five earned runs. On Wednesday night, he gave up a home run when the game was tied. Worried?a.If you owned him, who would you be grabbing as a handcuff?b.Speaking of Suarez, Ranger is off to yet another great start. The same thing occurred last season, but he faltered late. As you know, I've always had a soft spot for him. Are you buying that he might be a #3/#4 starter or still want to see more?8.Brady House made his debut this week. There wasn't a ton of fanfare when he got the call, but he's got some power. Will he make your waiver wire?9.What one hitter are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB10.What one pitcher are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB
