Tim interviews Rich about the Braves and Marlins prospects.

Fantasy Baseball Live – November 30, 2025 – 2:00 pmMicrosoft Teams:Segment 1 – Prospects – NL East – Atlanta Braves and Miami MarlinsQuick BreakSegment 2 – News and Notes1.Light week due to the holiday but we did have another big trade. The Rangers trade Marcus Seimen to the Mets for Brandon Nimmo. a.I wrote 1000 words about the deal to our Patreon members. What did you think of the deal?b.We just talked about the Mets last Sunday and I don't know if this clarifies things or makes it more muddled. We will look at both the infield and outfieldc.We discussed Josh Smith getting time in the outfield last week, but assuming they don't sign anyone, he should open as the starting second baseman. Thoughts on Josh Smith at second?2.The Blue Jays made noise by signing Dylan Cease for 7-years and $210 million. WOW. That's a lot of scratch. Did you like the signing?3.The Orioles finally spend a little bit of money, signing Ryan Helsley to a 2-year, $28 million contract. It takes a big closer arm off the board. Your thoughts?Segment 3 – Fantasy Questions of the NL East – NationalsWashington Nationals1.James Wood hit 31 home runs last season, but only 7 in the second half. He's the ninth outfielder off the board. Is that something that appeals to you?a.We will look at other outfielders going around him2.Dylan Crews – sigh.a.2026 stat line – AB, HR, SB, and BA3.I liked Brady House in the minor leagues and have him in one Dynasty League. I'm worried that his poor approach is catching up to him. In 74 MLB games, he walked eight times. a.Is this a growth stock or someone who will start the season in the minor leagues?b.The NFBC drafters are not bullish as he's the 46th third baseman off the board (ADP of 598). Is that worth a pick in the low 30s in D&H Leagues?4.Daylen Lile showed flashes last season, posting a .299 batting average with nine home runs and eight stolen bases in 351 plate appearances.a.The NFBC drafters seem to think he's a growth stock as he's the 50th outfielder off the board. Is a strong #4 starter feel right or is that a bit too rich?5.Out of the Nationals starters, which pitcher intrigues you the most?6.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Segment 4 – Fantasy Questions of the AL East – Orioles and Red SoxBaltimore Orioles1.After winning 91 games in 2024, the Orioles lost 87 games in 2025. Do they bounce back in 2026? How many games do they win?2.Samuel Bassalo – 2026 stat line - AB, HR, BA3.Gunnar Henderson hit 37 home runs in 2024 but only 17 in 2025. Exit velo is still 92.1 MPH (down slightly from 2024 – 92.8) but still in the top 10 percentile of the league. Over/Under 30 home runs in 2026?4.Nobody seems to be buying Coby Mayo's late home run surge as his ADP is 480 and he's the 31st first baseman off the board. Are you buying it?5.Trevor Rogers was a revelation last season, posting a 1.81 ERA in 18 starts. However, his xERA was 3.41 and he only struck out 8.8 per nine. He's going as the 66th pitcher off the board, or the 50th starting pitcher. Are you comfortable taking him as a strong number four starter?6.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Boston Red Sox1.Roman Anthony – 2026 stat line - AB, HR, SB, and BA2.I've longed been a fan of Marcelo Mayer, but his injury history is giving me pause. Plus, he wasn't very good after getting the callup. Does he get 500 PA in 2026?a.He's going as an after thought in drafts – 502 AB (34th round) or #33 third base. Any interest?3.Is Kristian Campbell a Red Sox on April 1?a.He's going before Marcelo Mayer at 480. Any interest?4.Connelly Early (#81) or Payton Tolle (#137)5.Any reason to not think of Aroldis Chapman as a Top 10 Closer?6.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Close

 Keep or Kut - Pete (@PeteBBaseball) took part in the Pitcher List Podcast Network mock draft in Octobter. This week, Chad Young (@chadyoung) grills Pete (nicely) on his strategy, his picks, what went well, what didn't, and what he learned. Along the way, they try to bring in some keeper league thoughts, as well.1:40 - What makes a draft like this different from a keeper draft - and what makes this draft particularly unique?11:09 - Picking 11th, Pete made a tactical choice to wait on pitching, knowing he could get his ace at 14, landing Fernando Tatis, Jr. and Paul Skenes.17:43 - At the 3/4 turn, Pete went bat-arm again, this time maybe reaching for a bat he loves (Roman Anthony) and taking an unexpected 2nd ace who fell (Yoshinobu Yamamoto)23:21 - Pitching keeps falling so in the 5th and 6th, Pete ends up with a third ace in Max Fried and fills SS with Bo Bichette.29:24 - Are we feeling different about Bichette in keepers vs. redraft?31:37 - In the 7th and 8th, Pete is feeling good about his three-headed ace and is looking for bats to strengthen his offense. He finds Brandon Lowe and Eugenio Suarez at two relatively weak positions.37:34- Among a run of hitters joining Pete's team, Pete takes his first closer, and opts for Aroldis Chapman over Cade Smith, then follows that up with Spencer Torkelson in the 10th, Michael Harris in the 11th and Teoscar Hernandez in the 12th.50:48 - Pete jumps back in the pitching market adding Tanner Bibee and Emmet Sheehan over a slew of other pitchers going in this range, before grabbing Kenley Jansen at the end of a closer run.55:54 - On the other side of the turn after Jansen, Pete grabs Luis Robert, Jr., one of a number of buy-low bounce backs (too many, perhaps) he grabbed in this draft. Then he adds Jonathan Aranda and Mackenzie Gore, who really shouldn't be buy-lows.1:02:06 - Pete closes out with a high upside play (Munetaka Murakami), his starting C (Drake Baldwin), a couple additional SP (Parker Messick and Brayan Bello), and a guy whose second half was better than you think (Christian Walker).1:11:44 - A quick look at a few players who went undrafted but could be interesting.Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher | TuneIn | Google Podcasts | RSSConnect: Twitter | keeporkut@gmail.com | Join PL+Get PL+ and join our Discord: https://pitcherlist.com/plus  Join Our Discord & Support The Show: PL+ | PL Pro - Get 15% off Yearly with code PODCASTProud member of the Pitcher List Fantasy Baseball Podcast Network Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Segment 1 – News and Notes1.We had our first significant trade of the season as the Orioles traded Grayson Rodriguez to the Angels for Taylor Ward.a.Both teams are starved for pitching, and while G-Rod has never been healthy, he has good stuff with four years of team control. Taylor Ward becomes a free agent after this season.b.Unless the Orioles haven't told us that G-Rod's arm will fall off at some point next season, it's hard not to like this for the Angels. I will say, the Angels did not do a physical. I'm thinking that was part of the deal – you're buying low, so no give-backzy. 2.Raisel Iglesias signed back with the Braves. He had stretch where he was awful and lost his job. Is he the closer going into camp? Is he somebody you're comfortable drafting as a closer?3.Non-tendered players – Surprised, any worries they will sign somewhere?a.Adolis Garica (OF, Tex)i.Who gets his playing time?b.Nathaniel Lowe (1B, Bos)c.Christopher Morel (DH, TB)d.Alek Manoah (Atl, RHP)4.Kazuma Okamoto was posted. What do we know about him?Segment 2 – Fantasy Questions of the NL East – Marlins, Mets, Phillies, and NatsMiami Marlins1.Jakob Marsee – Let's hear it.a.AB, HR, SB, and BA – 12 HR, 35 SB, .2702.I know you've been a big fan of Connor Norby in the past. In a bit over a half-season, he went 8-8, making him a 15-15 player with a .250ish batting average. That's not an awful player, but he's been drafted as one. His ADP is 387, and he's the 30th third baseman off the board.a.What are your thoughts on Noby this season? Are you interested?3.Kyle Stowers had his breakout last season, posting a .288 batting average with 25 home runs in only 117 games. He's going as the 28th outfielder off the board.a.Would you feel good about him being your #2 outfielder?4.Sandy Alcantara was terrible last season, and now he's the 66th pitcher off the board (50th starter). I think I recall you saying you wanted him to pitch poorly last year, so he would drop in 2026. Has he dropped enough for you to be interested?5.When Ryan Weather has played, he's been ok. Unfortunately, he seems always to be hurt. He's the 120th pitcher off the board (call it 85 to 90th starter) – your 6th starter. Is that someone who interests you at the moment, or is it a pass?6.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)New York Mets1.The Mets appear to be moving on from Pete Alonso so they can move Vientos to first and Baty to third. Do you like this move or do you believe the Mets will keep Alonso?a.Baty's ADP is 259 and Vientos is 256. Who would you rather have?2.Francisco Alvarez started to show signs of being an impact player, slugging 11 home runs in 76 games. He'll just be 24 next season. Over/Under 20 home runs?3.Will Jeff McNeil be the full-time second baseman for the Mets in 2026? He's on the last year of his contract?4.Kodai Senga posted decent numbers in 2025, posting a 3.02 ERA with 109 strikeouts and 55 walks. However, he spent time in the minor leagues and continues to struggle throwing strikes?a.Stat line for 2026: wins, ERA, and K'sb.There's been rumors that the Mets will trade him this winter? What say you?5.Who will be the Mets closer in 2026?6.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Philadelphia Phillies1.The Phillies could lose several players to free agency, including Kyle Schwarber and JT Realmuto. Do they resign these guys or try to get younger?a.I guess the problem is, are there minor league players that can step in or do they need to dip into free agency?2.Related to #1, the Phillies team still has Harper, Turner, and Cristopher Sanchez, but overall, the team doesn't look great. Dumbroski always finds a way, but is this a playoff contender for 2026?3.Andrew Painter – 2026 stats – IP, ERA, K's4.Zach Wheeler is expected to be back by the end of May. Before the injury, he was one of the best pitchers in baseball, but he had TOS surgery, which doesn't have a great track record for pitchers. He's the 52nd pitcher off the board, or the 39th starting pitcher off the board. Do you feel comfortable with Wheeler being a stronger #3 starter on your team? He was a top 5 pitcher selected in 2025.5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)

Fantasy Baseball Live – November 9, 2025 – 3:00 pmMicrosoft Teams:Segment 1 – News and Notes1.Munetaka Murakami was officially posted over the weekend and has 45 days to sign.a.Give us a scouting reportb.Where are the best landing spots for him?2.The Rockies change leadership at the top, bringing in long-time executive Paul DePosta, who most recently was head of strategy for the Cleveland Browns of the NFL. I got to know him a bit in that role, and he's a super-smart, thoughtful guy, but I worry the Rockies are a “bridge too far” for anyone.a.Your thoughts?3.The Rays decline the $11 million option on Pete Fairbanks, and he is now a free agent.a.Of course they did. Fairbanks was solid, bordering on elite in 2025, with 27 saves and a 2.83 ERA.i.Who does he sign with?ii.And more importantly, who is the closer in Tampa?4.Shane Bieber surprises by exercising his option, staying with the Blue Jays.a.He turned down a huge payday to stay with the Blue Jays. Is there a long-term deal in the making?5.Trevor Story is staying put in Bostona.After his huge season in 2025, where he hit 25 home runs and stole 31 bases, is he a safe bet for a number #1 shortstop in 2026, or are you going to bypass him in drafts given his injury history?6.The Orioles acquire Andrew Kittredge, and I'm assuming he will be their closer with Felix Bautista missing the 2026 season.a.He's a Top _____________ closer for you in 2026Segment 2 – Fantasy Questions of the AL Central – Tigers, Royals, and TwinsDetroit Tigers1.When do we see Kevin McGonigle? – July 15a.Stat line for 2026 – AB, HR, BA – 240 AB, 10 HR, .265 BA2.Spencer Torkelson has had 31 home runs in the past three years, with a 10-home-run clunker in the middle. The even/odd theory says expect a tough season. The data says he has above-average exit velo, but a huge leverage swing to reach his power, and too many strikeouts (26%).a.What say you?3.Casey Mize finally had a solid season after going 1:1 in 2018. He posted a 3.87 ERA (xERA 3.69) but with only an 8.4 strikeout rate. a.Mize is a top ___________ pitcher.b.Where will you be interested if he falls in drafts, or will you?4.Will Vest get at least 25 saves next season – true or false?5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Kansas City Royals1.Bobby Witt hit the ball harder in 2025 with an elite exit velo of 93.3 MPH with the same launch angle, yet he only hit 23 home runs. That makes no sense to me.a.I'm expecting 30+ home runs next season. What say you?2.Carter Jensen is my #1 prospect in the Royals system. Sal Perez is on a team-friendly 13.5 million contract extension. How many at-bats do you see Jensen getting?a.Is he someone who interests you?3.Jack Caglianonea.Stat line for 2026 – AB, HR, BA – 32 HRs, .195 BA4.Cole Ragans didn't live up to his lofty draft slot, but also spent three months on the IL. He still managed to strike out 98 in 61.2 innings. Do you still see him as #1 pitcher? Do you think you can get a discount on him at the draft table?5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Minnesota Twins1.True or False - Byron Buxton will be over-drafted in 2026?2.Royce Lewis somewhat stayed healthy – playing in a career high 106 games. The power wasn't there though as he only hit 13 home runs and a .388 SLG. He still hits the ball hard enough with plenty of loft to project at least 20 to 25 home runs.a.Do we see a bit of a bounce back?b.Does it matter because we know he's going to get hurt?3.Pablo Lopez has two years remaining on his four-year deal with $21.75 million per season. Is he a Twin to start the season?a.If not, where does he go?4.Zebby Matthews – sigha.Stat line for 2026 – IP, wins, K's, and ERA.5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Close

Fantasy Baseball Live – October 19, 2025 @ 3 pm ETMicrosoft Teams:Segment 1: World Series discussion1.Let's discuss the first two gamesa.How does this end?2.Some prompting questionsa.One of the breakout players in the playoffs has been Trey Yesavage. After another solid performance in the playoffs, he's posted a 3.21 ERA in three starts (one win). This after an impressive MLB debut and an even more impressive quick rise through the minor leagues. i.Where do you think he'll be drafted in leagues this season? Will it be too high for you?ii.Give me a stat line – IP, wins, ERA, Ksb.Emmet Sheehan took it on the chin on Friday night. Thoughts about his value going into drafts.i.Does he get enough innings to be viable pitcher in deeper mixed leagues?c.Bo Bichette is clearly not 100% but had a bounce back season in his walk year, hitting .311 with 18 home runs. Is he back or was this just your great walk year season and he gets overdrafted in 2026?d.Andy Pages has struggled in the playoffs and was ok, but not as good as he was in the first half. He also has some weird home and away splits - .325/.369/.594 vs. .221/.257/.336 (19 HR vs. 8 HR).i.How should I think of him at the draft table?e.We are seeing the slowdown of Freddie Freeman, after all he's 36. There's still good pop (70% exit velo – 90.9 MPH), similar launch but the speed has completely gone – 10% sprint speed. Even his contact skill have diminished. In 2025, he struck out 20.5% of the time. i.Give me his stat line for 2026 – HR, SB, and BAii.He was the third first baseman off the board in 2025. Where does he go in 2026?iii.Will you be investing? Segment 2: Fantasy Questions of the NL CentralPittsburgh Pirates1.When I take a look at the Pirates lineup, it's not very intimidating. Give me two moves the Pirates need to make offensively to better compete.2.Konnor Griffin timeline for the callup?a.When I look at the Pirates b.If before September, is he somebody you would try to draft. In what round would it be too expensive3.Bubba Chandlera.Stat line for 2026 – IP, wins, ERA, Ks – i.Tim Says: 135 IP, 6 wins, 3.75, 145Ks4.Dennis Santana was pretty good last season with 16 saves and a 2.18 ERA.a.How do you few him – as a top _____________ closer.i.Tim says: Top 20 to 235.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)a.Termarr Johnson b.Jared Jonesc.Isaac MattsonSt. Louis Cardinals1.When do the Cardinals call up JJ Wetherholt and where does he play (2B, 3B, SS, etc.)a.Stat line for 2026 – AB, HR, SB, BAi.Tim says: 250 AB2.Alec Burleson followed up a 21 home run season, with 19 in a few less games. He made excellent contact as well.a.Is this who he is a 20 home run, .270ish type of player with a handful of stolen bases are is there more in the tank?3.Not that RosterResource knows everything, but Jordan Walker is listed as a bench bat. Do you think this is true? If so, should fantasy managers avoid. What about Dynasty League owners that are still holding out hope?4.Who is the closer in St. Louis?a.Riley O'Brien5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)a.Joshua BaezClose
