Fantasy Baseball Live – May 4, 2025Microsoft Teams:Segments 1 and 2 – Reviewing the weekend gamesAdditional Notes:1.Triston Casas appears to be out for the season due to a left patella tendon rupture. The Sox have dismissed the idea of moving Devers to first. How does the infield look after this injury?a.Could they move Wilyer Abreu to first and promote Roman Anthony?2.Jake Meyers had himself a game. He went 4 for 4 with 2 home runs and 7 RBIs. He's still Jake Meyers, right?3.Corbin Burnes has struggled this season and will now miss his next start. He's got a 3.58 ERA (5.31 xERA) and only striking out 7.7 per nine. 4.Kyle Stowers had a big game on Saturday and is hitting .324 with six home runs entering games on Sunday. Surprised?5.Kevin Gausman had a nice game Sunday, but is it me or can you trust this guy? He's got a 3.86 ERA, but he seems to teeter on problems every outing.Segment 3 – Waiver WireSegment 4 – Closer ReportClose

Concern levels for Christian Walker's injury. Spencer Arrighetti teases a new pitch. Cam Smith's breakout Spring performances have fans buzzing. Is the main challenge with Jake Meyers just a lack of perspective?

With spring games coursing on over the weekend, the Astros took on the Cardinals Friday followed with the Yankees and the Nationals throughout the weekend. Winning against the Cardinals on Friday but falling short Saturday and yesterday, the Astros finish the weekend 1-2 rolling into another fresh week of spring games. Noting some changes around the field with Altuve in left-field now followed by Paredes plugged in at third and rotating prospects around the infield, the Astros look to be stringing things along in determining spots before the start of the season. With the infield looking pretty solid lots of attention has now turned to the outfield, not in regards to their production on defense but rather their production on offense. Attaining his first hits this spring training followed with two RBI's yesterday, Jake Meyers had himself a day with many raising question if this can be sustained in the long run. With Altuve the leadoff hitter moving from the infield and Yordan now mostly the Astros DH, should there be a concern with the offensive production in the outfield roughly pertaining to the backend of the lineup?

Fantasy Baseball Live – February 9, 2025 @ 3 PM ETSegment 1 – News and Notes1.The Mets re-upped with Pete Alonso on a two-year deal. The league has learned its lesson from hulking First Base sluggers like Alonso, and consequently, it's become more challenging for them to land the big contract.a.Your thoughts on the deal. Are there any changes at all in where you draft him2.Phew. Jack Flaherty managers give a sigh of relief when he re-upped with the Tigers for a two-year deal that is front-loaded with an opt-out. So, assuming he doesn't get hurt, he'll likely opt out. a.Will he be more of the 2024 version on the 2022-23 pitcher? 3.The Angels were at it again, signing Yoan Moncada to a one-year, $5 million contract. a.This is why I'm so critical of the Angels. This is a dumb deal to me. He hasn't been able to stay healthy, and if it weren't for a .406-fueled 2019 season, where he hit 25 home runs and batted.315, I'm not sure anybody would be thinking about him. Not to lead the witness, but what do you think? Am I all wet?4.Well the Tirso Ornelas came crashing down when the Padres signed the power-couple duo of Jason Heyward and Connor Joe. Oh well. Thoughts.Segment 2 – AL West1.Houston Astrosa.Isaac Paredes 2025 stat line: HR, RBI, and BAi.Will he be a downgrade from Alex Bregman, upgrade, or about the same?b.Chas McCormack (608.80 ADP), Jake Meyers (611.36), and Taylor Trammell (750.51) are the projected starting outfield. We've discussed previously about how weak it is. Do you have any interest?i.Over/Under Pedro Leon of 200 ABsc.Luis Garcia had TJS in 2023 and should be a full go this spring. In his last full season in 2022, he was pretty good. His ADP is 365. Is he a sneaky add in a draft?d.Spencer Arrighetti pitched to a 5.63 ERA in the first half and a 3.18 in the second. His batting average against went from .268 to .226. Any interest. His ADP is 216.9e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)2.Los Angeles Angelsa.True or False. Mike Trout will win a World Series with the Angels before his career ends.i.Stat line for Trout: AB, HR, SB, BAb.Jo Adell's ADP is 290.89 and he's going as the 71st outfielder off the board. He hits the ball extremely hard and sprint speed in the 86th percentile. There is going to be pressure on his batting average as he doesn't make great contact. However, if he gets playing time, isn't there 20-20 potential here?i.Will he get the playing time?c.Yoan Moncada stat line for 2025: AB, HR, and BAd.Nolan Schanuel – Over/Under 15 home runse.Is Kikuchi more like the Astros version in 2025 or more like the “every other” season for the Angels in 2025?i.We will look at where he's going in drafts.f.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)3.Athleticsa.Tyler Soderstrom was a top prospect for several years, but has yet to establish himself in the Majors. Will he this year or will Kurtz beat him to the punch?i.Nick Kurtz 2025 stat line: AB, HR, BAb.Lawrence Butler went 22 and 18 in 451 PAs last year. Over/Under 50 combined SB and HR for 2025?c.Who would you rather roster: Luis Severino (290.0) or Jeffrey Springs (239.3)?d.Will Mason Miller be on the Athletics on August 1?e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)4.Seattle Marinersa.In one of our Dynasty League startups, I considered drafting Victor Robles but couldn't pull the trigger. I studied the data, and while he stole 34 bases last season, he's not a burner with sprint speeds in the 63rd percentile. A .370 BABIP drove his .307 batting average, and given his poor exit velocity, I don't see that sticking or much power. Am I too low on Robles? I don't get the hype, as he's going as the 49th OF off the board. b.One of our Patreon members reminded me that we don't talk enough about Seattle's poor hit park factors (T-Mobile). It's last in the league. Should this give you pause at the draft table for guys like J-Rod, Raleigh, and Arozarena?c.Will Julio Rodriguez be drafted in the first round in 2026?d.Do you think the Mariners should trade one of their big starters for some offense? If so, who would you suggest?i.An ideal trading partner would be the Orioles.e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)5.Texas Rangersa.Evan Carter state line for 2025: AB, HR, SB, and BAi. Will he be a full-time or platoon player by mid-season?b.Adolis Garcia had a down season in 2025. Although his speed has decreased, he still hits the ball extremely hard. Do you think he's more of a 30 to 35-home-run guy or a 25-home-run guy with pressure on his batting average?i.We will look at where he is being drafted and look at other players around himc.Do we see the break out of Wyatt Langford in 2025?i.He will be _______________ round pick in 2026.d.RosterResource lists Chris Martin as the closer in Texas.

Athletics Osvaldo Bido will be in the rotation, right? Roster Resource has him at AAA for some reason… Arizona Nowhere for Jordan Lawlar to play?  Atlanta Will they really go into the year with one of Ian Anderson, AJ Smith-Shawver or Bryce Elder in the rotation? Baltimore Probably nowhere for Heston Kjerstad or Coby Mayo to play as things stand, but they're both seemingly a trade or an injury away. Any current interest? Boston More PA, Kristian Campbell or David Hamilton? Chicago Cubs Draft Ben Brown now and hope he wins the fifth starter's spot?  Chicago White Sox Likelihood Edgar Quero, Colson Montgomery, Bryan Ramos make Opening Day roster? Cincinnati Noelvi Marte, Rhett Lowder ticketed for Triple-A? Cleveland How much will Jhonkensy Noel play? Colorado What will Jordan Beck's role be? Detroit Should we expect Jackson Jobe to make the Opening Day rotation? Houston Who intrigues us most as an OF flyer? Chas McCormick, Jake Meyers, Zach Dezenzo, Jacob Melton, Taylor Trammell… Kansas City Intrigued by any of Kris Bubic, Alec Marsh, Kyle Wright, Michael Loreznen? Los Angeles Angels Seems pretty straightforward. Are we tracking what Reid Detmers and/or Caden Dana do in spring training? Los Angeles Dodgers Who plays more, Hyesong Kim or Andy Pages? Miami Derek Hill is going to play more than people think – one of the rare Roster Resource mess-ups currently Milwaukee What will Caleb Durbin's role be to start the year? Minnesota Who will be the fourth and fifth starters? Simeon Woods Richardson, Chris Paddack, David Festa, Zebby Matthews  New York Mets More playing time in 2025, Ronny Mauricio or Luisangel Acuna? New York Yankees How confident are we in Jasson Dominguez playing every day? Philadelphia Worried about Bryson Stott's lineup placement and platoon when the team is at full strength? Pittsburgh What will Nick Yorke's role be? San Diego Team Top-Heavy, everybody who can play will be playing San Francisco Will Hayden Birdsong make the Opening Day rotation? Seattle Top-heavy depth chart, presumably not done adding. Any interest in their cheap guys, Ryan Bliss, Dominic Canzone, Tyler Locklear, Austin Shenton? St. Louis Will Michael McGreevy open the year at Triple-A? Tampa Bay Will Richie Palacios or Jose Caballero play enough for us to use them? Texas Will Kumar Rocker be in the Opening Day rotation? Toronto Addison Barger, Ernie Clement, Orelvis Martinez or a player not currently on the roster as starting 3B? Washington Is Jacob Young really going to play every day in CF again?
