Christian Scott, SP, Mets The Scott is hot, and we're talking about only a single run given up in his last 10.2 innings! Yesterday's start was as close to being a 'gem' as a start can get, with a 1.80 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, 4 K/BB, and 8 Ks over 5.0 innings pitched. A healthier WHIP and a quality start would have taken this outing to the next level, but that just means you have a better chance of snagging him on waivers tonight! Scott isn't particularly adept at inducing whiffs, b

It's getting to be a bit much having to include the same guys every week, while trying to find new and interesting ways to express my enthusiasm and excitement for said players. I've genuinely put my all into recommending Sam Antonacci about 10 times going back to Fall of 2025, and at this point, managers either want him or they don't. These players have graduated: Sam Antonacci Connor Prielipp Peter Lambert Casey Schmitt Carson Benge TJ Rumfield JJ Bleday Moises is no lon

Seeing Rice doing what he's doing has me nostalgic for the early days of 2025, when I was fully ready to go all in on a guy that had hit .171 with a .613 OPS the year before. And yet, most tragically, I could not manage to snag rice in the only redraft league I participate in this year - a league in which I'm really struggling, no less. Hats off to the guys who reached for both Rice and Sal more than I had anticipated, perhaps you read my blog. Fortunately enough, though, the

Moisés Ballesteros, C/UT Somehow, someway, Moisés is still only 17% owned on Yahoo. There's at least one more opportunity to grab a slugger who boasts a .400 BA and 1.098 OPS across 61 plate appearances. He blasts the ball at a top 10 percentile rate, all while swinging with an excellent 61% ideal attack angle: He squares up on the ball while swinging with elite bat speed: I understand he sits a bit too often for some managers' likings, and yet, his remarkable and consistent

By happenstance, we've got a bunch of interesting Catchers making the list today. I'd say that would be awesome...most years...but catcher happens to be deeper than it's ever been. Still, I'm sure a bunch of us could use an upgrade either at C or utility, so take your pick! Also, I want to just drop some Noah Schultz information to start us off here, courtesy of Prospectsavant. https://prospectsavant.com/player/702273 https://prospectsavant.com/player/702273 Schultz battle

Welcome, friends. Today is a special day, so I'm pretty damned excited. My #2 ranked, yet-to-debut pitching prospect, George Klassen, is making his MLB debut! This kid has some of the most effortless stuff you'll see, and after watching his first start, I'm extremely impressed with just how well his stuff plays against MLB hitting...when he can locate it. That's one of the better 4-seams I've had the pleasure of watching in 2026! If you want more info on George Klassen, pleas

Thanks for joining me in 2026! I spent the whole day yesterday trifling through data to find some of the deeper names in the league right now, and not the Chase DeLauters of the world (who was drafted in most leagues). This has been copied over from yesterday's Patreon post, so some data points may be from before yesterday's slate of games. Feel free to come check it out if you want daily analysis (most days) and an earlier weekly waiver wire read. Cheers! Randy Vasquez, SP

George Klassen, A+ Klassen is an enormously talented pitcher that may not be getting as much hype as he deserves - and that probably sounds ridiculous, as he's their #3 prospect. Do I think Christian Moore is really a better prospect than Klassen. Or Ryan Johnson, their #2 prospect? I don't think so. Klassen averages 97.7 mph on a fastball out of a low 27.2 degree arm slot - a very nice velocity to slot ratio that will provide some excellent horizontal play and ride.His AAA s

Hello friends, and welcome to the 2026 season! I hope the offseason has been kind to you - I know how hard shit can be in 2026, especially without baseball as the ultimate distraction. But fret not, for we now have half-a-year of America's pastime ahead of us, and surely it will last forever...right? Six months is basically an eternity...right? With a new season comes exciting new analysis: Who has improved bat speed?! Who has decreased bat speed? Who's changed their batti
