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

It was a shame a team had to lose. Do you miss teams getting a player on second base in extra innings? Or, do you prefer the old-style 15-inning games like we had with the Mariners and Tigers?2.The Mariners burned through Kirby, two innings of Gilbert, and 1.1 of Castillo.
