Brother Seeker, mad bum, rookie bets, lackey John, Wilma, Stavis you, Brandon Bell, Colin, Nick you, baby, back. Happy Friday, everybody. Welcome to Fantasy Baseball today. We are rocking and rolling here. Adam Azer, Scott White, Heath Cummings, chilling out in Fort Lauderdale, getting ready for Memorial Day weekend. We will not have a live show on Monday.

We will do a pre-recorded mailbag. We'll be doing that later today. So get excited. And your emails will be reading at Fantasy Baseball at cbsi.com. Would you like to start the day with some trivia? I know Heath loves trivia. I love trivia. It's my favorite part of the show except for you.

You're my favorite part of you. Scott, you ready for some trivia? Oh, yeah. I'm ready to go. I don't think this is all that hard, but it's not easy. So name the pitcher who has retired 53 of the last 56 batters he has faced. 53 of the last 56 batters he has faced. Yes.

My first guess would be Lucas Gialito because he just threw a no-hitter. He's a major league pitcher. Okay. He has retired 53 of the last 56 batters he's face. Ritees are O for their last 41 against him. It's a reliever. He's got a .87 ERA. He struck out more batters than innings pitched.

He had more than one strikeout per inning yesterday. 0.78 ERA? Point 870, all right? 487. Oh, is it Craig Kimbril? It's Craig Kimbril. Yeah. Craig Kimbril struck out four in one inning, one batter reached on a wild pitch.

He is unbelievable. Earlier this season, John Farrell said something about Kimbril's, like, mechanics, or his delivery being the best it's been since he's been in Boston, which is, you know, only a second year. But how about this in May? Nine and a third innings, one hit, no walks, 20 strikeouts. He is striking out two batters per inning on the season. Wait, yes.

What would I say earlier that Crimbro had more strikeouts than... You said Batter's face, not innings pitched. He has more strikeouts than batter's faced. Last night. Last night. He struck out four. Yeah, that's a much more impressive stat than Batter's. He struck out four, but he only faced three betters?

Then outs recorded. Okay. That makes a little... Get the terminology right. It doesn't matter. You know, sometimes we forget to talk about guys like Craig Kimball who are just owned and started and awesome all the time. I just wanted to throw him a kudos.

Craig Kimbril, you are amazing. And we have a lot of Red Sox notes today. We're also going to talk about DeMelson DeNelson Lemette, Justin Verlander, Drew Pomeranz, Indochino, the draft app, Ryan Braun, likely going back on the DL. Very frustrating here for him. We'll get Donaldson and Tulawitki back. Will we start James Paxson next week at Colorado? No, right? No, no chance.

Will we start David Price in a two-star week? We'll talk about all of that. How about this transaction? Transaction of the day in a 14-team league. Somebody dropped Dustin Padroia for Adam Frazier. Approve the move, yes or no? I am going to have to disapprove that move. I understand Adam Frazier's red-hot right now, and actually is homered in back-to-back games, but there is no history of power in his minor league profile.

Even this year, only like eight of his 35 hits have been for extra baseball. And I understand Padrois had his own issues with power this year, but at least there's some very recent track record of him getting for extra bases. Did leave yesterday's game with a knee. Yes. And it seems like this has been bothering Petroia. So I just want maybe this person has some inside knowledge and knows that Padrae is headed to the disabled list. He doesn't. I don't know that. I feel like if this power lost that Padraulte's experience this year is legit and this Souss,

who he is now. That's kind of who Adam Frazier is hoping to be. Yeah. I mean, Padrella, we don't I don't know if anybody's mentioned him as a by-low, and he might be in a shallow one-second basement league. He might be droppable. Yeah. And Petroia's number 22 in points, number 29

to Rota right now at second base, but he does have 21 walks to 15 strikeouts. He's hitting 288. Their line-ups going to get better. He's still going to hit at the top of it. I feel like you want to talk. By low in my old Hasmer argument from a few weeks ago, he's better than this in a deeper league that you have to own him.

Padreya maybe fits that bill? Let's see what happens with the knee. Well, yeah. No, I think he's a by-low. Obviously, we'll have to see what happens with me. But just the other day, Tuesday, I think it was when Chris Heath and I were all on, there was a discussion. and I think both Chris and Heath said they would drop Padroia for Devin Travis, which was enough to tell me, okay, yeah, that probably suggests that Padrae's values fall into a point. You can get him for next to nothing. Yeah. The one I think I was moving Petroia down when I realized that I wasn't as keen on buying low

was when Ian Hap had his good first three or four days, and I would have dropped Padraea to pick up Hap. Yeah, no, it's more like in a league that Hap has to be owned. in and a league that Padroia has to be owned in, you go, you know, he's your middle infield that you make a trade for Padroia. Maybe he's part of it. Probably not trading just for Padroia, but he's a throw-in in a deal. But again, let's see what happens with the knee. It was also wet last night, so they didn't want to risk it with him.

Denelson Lemette, two-pitch pitcher for the most part. Very rarely throws a change-up, but throws hard. Struck out eight Mets in five innings, gave up one run on three hits with two walks in his major league debut. Padres' starting pitchers about 10% owner. right now in CBSSports.com leagues and he gets the Cubs in a one-start week next week at home.

How interested are you in picking up Denelson Lamett? It was impressive and I know there was a lot of talk after the game people saying they didn't know he really had this good of a change-up. They were impressed by

his change-up and I looked at the pitch selection on Brooks baseball and they didn't show him as throwing a change-up. So I don't know if something was misclassified there. Coming into the year, he was considered basically just a fastball slider pitcher. So maybe he has a change up that got classified as a two-seam fastball or whatever because the velocity difference wasn't great enough. I don't know.

But clearly he was missing a lot of bats. He does have control issues. And even in this one, he walked, what was it, three and five? Two and five innings. And, you know, it was like 4.5 per 9 at AAA. lay 3.5 per 9 earlier in his minor league career. And a lot of times in the PCL walk rates rise because, I don't know, pitchers are afraid of pitching to bats in that environment.

So he may not be, it may not be a deal breaker for him, the control issue. But it's something that keeps me from rushing out to pick him up after this start. That and the fact, of course, he's pitching for the Padres. But an interesting prospect. And like the thing for me, in a standard league, how often, are you rushing out to pick up a pitcher that you can't start next week? It's pretty rare, and you're not starting him next week against the Cubs. I mean, there's a contrast between, we were rushing out to pick up Rios after his first start.

We were rushing to pick up Joe Ross. He's only, Joe Ross is only 62% own. Get on it, people. I've not rushed out to pick Joe Ross, pick up Joe Ross. I made sure he was owned in all my leagues. No, I don't have him anywhere. Joe Ross? None of them.

You're not rushing to pick up Joe Ross? Well, apparently he's already owning all the league. 62%. Yeah. Look, like, I don't know how it's going to end with Joe Ross. I just know that he should be owned in more than 62. I would be more, if I saw Joe Ross and Dilsson Lament on the Waver Wire, I would pick up Joe Ross. Who would you rather own Zendongley?

I apologize. I was rushing out to pick up Joe Ross. I thought you were referencing Tyson Ross. Oh, okay, okay. The Ross brothers. Yes. Well, who would you rather pick up Tyson Ross or Denelson Lemette? Maybe Tyson Ross. Yeah, Tyson Ross.

I'm actually, I haven't actually picked up Ross anywhere yet. there are some deeper leagues where I've been stashing him this whole time. But Tyson Ross, I'm actually fairly enthusiastic about this return for him, had a really dominant rehab star five innings. But I think he allowed like two hits or something like that. He is coming back from Thoracic Outlets Syndrome, and we've seen all the, we've experienced all the drama that's gone with Matt Harvey for that.

But you don't hear much of anything about Tyson Ross and him struggling to recover from this. So the fact he's already returning, a guy who was must start for his final two years before coming down with this injury, I think he needs to be more widely owned than 25, 30%. To be clear, Joe Ross. Yes. Tyson Ross. Nelson, Lamet, probably not. Matt Garza, who has two starts next week or Lamet? Who's Lamet facing?

Cubs. Oh, Edel. Garza. I feel like I'm overreacting with Lamet a little bit. No, I mean, I feel like I was, after seeing the results of this start and watching some highlights of it, I feel like it was a little too dismissive of him. He was the Padre's 10th prospect, according to baseball in, which isn't that high, but it's a prospect-rich system. And he has a lot of strikeouts. That's the most important thing.

I'm keeping an eye on him. All right, if you were in a shallower league, Drew Pomerance might be available. Pomerant is 71% own. He struck out 11 Rangers last night, said he felt like last year, finally. And remember with the Padres last year, Pomerance was 8 and 7 with a 247 ERA and 115Ks in 102 innings. 1.06 whip. That was mostly because he gave up 5.9 hits per 9.

He did have some walks. But anyway, we know how good Pomerans can be. Would you make sure that Pomeranz is owned in all of your leagues? Yes. And he did have some walk issues. He's always had some walk issues. He's always had some arm issues. And I would expect he's going to have both moving forward.

But as long as he's healthy and pitching well, he needs to be owned and started in most cases. He wasn't pitching well. That was the problem. He's kind of teased us this year. He's got a four. He's got after an 11 strikeout game against the Rangers giving up two runs. He now is a 470 ERA, Drew Pomerantz. There was an emphasis between him and a discussion between him and his manager, John Farrell, who of course used to be a pitching coach about using his cutter more. He had kind of, that was a pitch he added to his repertoire last year, and you kind of gotten away from it this year,

in part because of the arm issues he had early on, and it could be taxing on the arm. He threw it more in this start. He threw it 11 times, which isn't a ton, but it's more than he'd been throwing it, and four of those 11 resulted in whiffs. It was among his most whiff-generating pitches. So if he reincorporates that into the arsenal, the cutter,

I think Pomeranz could show some improvement overall. And he's really had two terrible starts. year. The rest of them, while he had to leave early a couple times, were two runs or less. Yeah, yeah. It is the innings that's been the issue with him. And you've got to expect they'll be a little cautious with Pomeranz. I don't know that he's going to have like 115 pitches.

No, he shouldn't. Yeah, they're going to dial it back a little bit. But you need pitching. Anything else, guys, what are you buzzing about? What are you buzzing about lately in the fantasy baseball world? Heath? What is wrong with Justin Verlander? Verlanner had a very interesting excuse yesterday.

He gave up... I'm glad you used the word excuse and not exclamation. He gave up five runs in one inning. Well, he gave up six over five and two-thirds, but five runs came in one inning and three home runs allowed. And he said his catcher got hurt, James McCann. And they brought in a villa, and they didn't have a game plan. Because he was expecting McCann to catch him. And he got destroyed.

Now, three home runs in an inning is bad. Four home runs in an inning is worse. And Verlander actually did give up four home runs. in an inning last year. And I think he finished second in Siong last year. So it happens. But he does have a 487 R.A. And he's, Verlander's been disappointing.

So what do you think is wrong, Heath, with Verlander? I mean, the walk number still aren't good in this start. And there's been basically one start in his last five where they've been good, two in his last seven. So obviously I think command slash control. control is the biggest issue. That can manifest itself in walks and in home runs, and he's giving up both. That would be correctable, you'd think, right?

I mean, you would think, right? Yeah. It depends on what the root cause is. Yeah. If it's just an unexplainable loss of command and control, then probably. It's just a cold streak, and he's probably going to have three straight starts with zero runs allowed to get his numbers back where they belong. I did notice this in his split.

It's six road starts, 764 ERA, four home starts 161ERA. So basically all his good starts have been home and at home and all the bad starts have been on the road. Don't know that I can make anything of that yet, but it's interesting. You know, whereas like I could understand people being hesitant to start Tanaka. He's been much worse, but I wouldn't even, I wouldn't have a second thought about starting Verlander. I would not either. There have been enough good starts mixed in with the bad that I think it's. That's justifiable.

I mean, it's so easy to say buy low, sell high, but it just seems, unless you guys disagree, like an obvious buy low on Verlander. The thing is, I don't know. I think, yes, it would be an obvious buy low, but how low do I have to buy? Am I, like, let's say the guy's a little bit worried that owns him. Am I willing to give up Lance McCullors for Verlander? No. I would give up, I would give up Michael Conforto for Verlander. Would you?

Yeah. Yes. Without hesitation. Yeah. I'd give up Conforto. maybe what about Miguel to know. Yeah, I would do that. I mean, I would, when you start, and I know it's not likely that you'd be trading one pitcher for another pitcher,

but when you start really mixing any hitters into this discussion, if it's clearly a different tier of pitcher, I mean, I'm pretty much always going to trade the hitter at this stage. But you expect Ferlander still be in that tier? Yeah, I have not moved him outside of my top 10. starting pitchers because, well, A, there's not a lot of options to move in the top 10 starting pitchers, and B, I still think he's going to be that. So you still have him ahead of Keikel? Maybe.

I may drop him behind with this start. They're both in the top ten. I've got him 15th, which is pretty close to where I had him at the start of the year. I haven't really, like, I've moved several guys ahead of him and several guys below him. But I have to apologize to you for chastising you for being so low on Verlander, preseason. Apology accepted. I also have to apologize to anyone who has not gotten an Indochino suit.

What does the NBA stand for? And I said, the National Basketball Association. And he said, no, it stands for the National Blowout Association. I had not heard that. Five years old, cracking jokes. Not bad. This is good news for baseball. Yeah.

Hooray for baseball. But I just have to say, off topic here. Hockey was amazing last night. Unfortunately, I fell asleep before the game winner. I wouldn't know what amazing hockey looks like. It was so fun. Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals, double overtime, sudden death, home team wins. Wow.

It was really great. It was very exciting. And Doc Emrick is the best announcer in sports. And he makes a sport that I really don't like that much hockey. He makes it so enjoyable to watch. So good for them. Ryan Braun, likely going back on the D.L with another calf injury. Braun said he wasn't 100% when he came off to DL.

I hate that. I hate that. And that's what Kanoe is doing right now. Kanoe's been good the last two days. Look, Braun's been very good when he's played. He's got four steals and seven home runs in 29 games. His slash line looks very similar to last year except the batting average is low, but that would probably come up. What do you do if you're a Ryan Braun owner right now?

Put him on the deal. I mean, look, Donaldson just missed seven weeks, eight weeks with a campaign. calf injury? Yeah. Yeah. Biltre is still not returned. And this guy already had one calf injury, and now it's the same injury to the same calf.

You always assume it's going to be longer the second time. And given what we've seen from calf injuries this year, yeah, I would. I'm anticipating as a brawn owner in a league myself, I'm anticipating at least a month of going without him. Was I wrong about Donaldson? When did he got hurt, first week of the season or after? It was very early. It doesn't matter.

A big chunk of time, and he's supposed to come back today. But do you kind of treat Braun right now like you would treat Cindergarde or Bumgarner? No, I don't know. It can be out that long, no. Okay. Maybe more like Cole Hamels. I think we're at the point where you should be, like, you know you've got a good team. After this week, you're six and two or something like that.

I think now is the time to look at the desperate Cindergarten. and bumgardeer owner and give him something that he needs now or she needs now. What do you guys think? Like I think now you kind of know what your team is made of. If you have a good team and you know you're going to make the play, you feel really strongly about it, now's a good time to find a desperate owner who's under 500 needs to win now and get yourself Cinderguard or Bumgard.

Certainly if you have excess, but there's a danger to doing that too many times over because chances are even the good teams have a lot of players on the DL already and are probably, probably only have two DL spots they can fill. And in that, in that case, if you wind up with a bench of DL players, you know, or almost all DL players who you can't drop, then what happens when the next player gets hurt for you? And it is still like two more months for those guys. Yeah, I just can't even relate to this exercise because I'm just so excited to be getting David Price back and actually have a team now. Yeah, your season starts.

Monday. Are you going to start him two-start week? 100%. And I don't like starting guys coming back in that very first start after coming off the disabled list, but the fact that it's a two-start week, I don't really feel like I have any alternative. At the White Sox and at the Orioles for David Price.

I'm moving him into my starting lineup as we speak and could not be... Lineups. Line-ups. Line-ups. Almost everyone. Here's some closer news for you. Edwin Diaz got the save, so it looks like he's the closer. Brad Hand got another save, gave up a run, but he could very well get traded.

San Diego Union Tribune reporting that Bradhand is drawing a lot of trade interest. Coda Glover is the Nationals Closor. And there's another thing I recommend to Fantasy Owners. I have Addison Reed and Senwono in a two-closer league. And I picked up Cota Glover, and I'm going to try to trade them. It's a 14-team league, so there aren't that many closers out there. I'm going to try them. Because closers dry up, you know?

People need them. And if they're not available, they'll overpay. And I think Glover will dry up as the Nationals closer, so it is good time to. But not because he's bad, because they're going to get someone else, right? A combination. I don't think he's bad. I don't think he's good enough to close, really. I want to see. I think it's still within the realm of possibility that Glover could have a... Because I don't think he's not an elite closer. But he is of the level of closer. We know that this is a really small sample size.

for these guys. We're talking 40, 50 innings over an entire season. And from what I know of Dusty Baker, if Coda Glover has a good month, which is very possible, he may just get the job. Okay. The White Sox minor league starting pitcher, Lucas Gialito, who came over in the Adam Eaton trade. Through a seven inning no hitter yesterday, they played a doubleheader, so through a seven inning no hitter. Keeper League, Scott, what do you think about Gialito? For whatever reason, I looked at his numbers a few days ago. they were bad.

Yep. And there was, you know, there were underwhelming last year, too, particularly in the early stages. He did have a pretty strong finish that corrected them somewhat. But we saw him falling in the prospect rankings from one year to the next. And then he follows it up with this. After it seemed like his own organization lost faith in him, trading him away in the Adam Eaton deal. So his stock is down. His dynasty stock is down.

Um, if this no hitter said, you know, puts him on some kind of run, then maybe he can still redeem it. But the, the walks are an issue. The strikeout rate is not what we expected to be, given the caliber of prospect he is. And, uh, I could probably come up with five pitching prospects I'd rather have than him. Not to put myself on the spot or anything, but I probably could. Was it a Leon? Uh, over Gialito. I would, Brent Honeywell is the first name that came to mine for me.

I would rather have Brent Honeywell than Lucas Giolyto at this point. Now, are you saying you'd rather have them for this year or in a dynasty league? In a dynasty league. Because for this year, Giolyto is ahead of some people just because the White Sox are so bad and don't have anybody that would prevent him from getting a job if he continues to pitch well. Yeah, but an example like Honeywell, an example like DeLeon, they're both in the disqual. discussion to get called up this year too. And I would guess, even for the white sucks, Lucas Gialito's behind Rinaldo Lopez in the pecking order, so it's not like his arrival is imminent.

Kenta Maeda and Junjin Ryu kind of piggybacked yesterday. Maeda returned from the DL after the hamstring injury. He's back. He pitched, didn't pitch very well. And then Ryu came in and threw four innings and officially got a save. All right. Kershaw. Who else?

Who's in that rotation? Alex Wood. Maida, Alex Wood. Rich Hill, temporarily. Brandon McCarthy's there for now. Allegedly. Arias is out. I think that's it.

I think it's five. We're back down to five. And then there were five. So you think could Ryu replace Rich Hill if there's more struggles? Well, yeah. I think they're going to keep Ryu handy in case another blister pops up for Hill. But I don't think, like, I think they're going to give Hill leeway in terms of performance. Mm-hmm. Okay. Well, reverse jinks worked yesterday. Zander Bogart's homered and his first of the year. And Justin Upton had a big game as well.

Let's take a look at the most added list. Come on down, Mike Clevenger. You are the most added player in CBSports.com leagues. That's interesting. 48% owned. And you better have two starts, Mike Clevenger. What inspired that. We don't know that he'll have any starts. Yeah. I mean, can you make sure I'm... not making a huge mistake right now. Are you just looking at the free agents in that specific league? No, I'm not.

I have team status all. Mike Clevenger, number one. That's too many people just blindly following the baseball logos. Corey, I mean, look, he could stay in the rotation. He could make two starts. I think it'll largely depend on his start against the Reds tonight, I think. And maybe they bump. If Clevenger's pitching tonight, there's no way he's making it.

two starts next week. That's true, but he hasn't pitched yet this week. He didn't? Maybe. This is compelling. Well, we're confused. Yeah. No, I think, I think that's starting against the Royals.

Yeah, he faced the Astros at a great start. 48% own. Regardless of whether or not he's the one bump for Kluber, doesn't seem like he's going to make two starts. But is he somebody that should be 48% own, Mike Levenger? Okay. Maybe. after tonight, I can say with more assurance.

I think if we felt like he had job security, the answer would definitely be yes. There's genuine upside here, genuine strikeout potential. But this could be the last we see of him for a long time, depending on the decision the Indians make. All right, Heath, listen. Number two on the list is Joe Ross. Joe Ross. Joe Ross, not Tyson. Correct.

Joe. Tyson's brother? Tyson's brother, yes. Okay. The one that pitches for the nationals. In case you don't know, that actually is Tyson's brother. They are related. Adam Frazier's number three.

Justin Boar is number four. Keep going up, Boar. He's 59% owned. Boer, boy. Boar is, we always compare him to first basement, but is Justin Boer good enough to be your utility? Oh, yeah. Okay. I think, honestly, I think he's taking a stud turn here.

Peripherally, what he's doing in terms of how hard he's hitting the ball, how often he's hitting the ball. And the elevation he's getting on the ball. Love stud turn. I want to take a stud turn. Yeah, he's taking a stud turn. Armand Marquez and Tyler Anderson are next. And again, we should talk about this. All right, this is something I want to start doing a little bit better from my end,

is look for one-start streaming options. And these Colorado starting pitchers, I mentioned it yesterday briefly, when they're on the road, you might want to start them. Like, I do start Marquez and his road starts. In the one league I own him in. Does Tyler Anderson fit that for you guys? Would you start Tyler Anderson in your road?

Well, he might be a guy that we need to think about just adding in general because 32 strikeouts in 24 and two-thirds innings over his last four starts. He has been racking them up. And he's top 12 in terms of soft contact percentage, which is what we liked about him last year. There was some debate at the time that that would be something that would carry over. from year to year, well, it seems to have. So Tyler Anderson here we're talking about.

And I just want to give the numbers on Anderson. He actually entered yesterday's start, which was a great start at Philadelphia, one run and seven innings with a better home ERA than road ERA. But last year, oh, no, this is the same thing. Last year, he had a three ERA at home and a 471 ERA on the road. He was the weird pitcher that pitched better at Cores. But maybe, yeah, maybe he's just good. How do you feel about Tyler Anderson?

Like, Tyler Anderson, Joe Ross, Mike Clevenger, Heath, rank them. I would, Joe Ross is definitely first. And I don't think that Tyler Anderson is in the same discussion because he pitches at course. What about Clevenger? I would rather have Anderson than Clevenger. I feel like it'll be more predictable, although he has been better at home. Next week, he's at home against Seattle.

There's no chance I'm starting Tyler Anderson at home against Seattle. So, but I don't know that Clevenger is going to stay in the major leagues. Right. So I think Anderson, listen, he's. 47% owned. Clevenger's 48%. I think Clevergen is probably more over-owned than Anderson is under-owned. Okay.

Okay. That makes sense when you think about it. Is Tyler Anderson the best Rockies pitcher other than John Gray? I think so. Yeah. Yes. I have some hope for Tyler Anderson to overcome the Coorsfield hurdle, and I just, I rarely give Rocky's pitchers a chance of this because they've been around 25 years. and there have been so few success stories and a lot of failures.

So because Tyler Anderson has this soft contact thing that he's leaning on and because he has shown the ability to pitch well at home for an extended stretch, I have some hope for him. Obviously, you know, the mid-5s-eara sporting right now needs to change, but looking at what he's doing peripherally, I think it will. And it's strange because he's, like we talked earlier about Pomerance and how it was basically just two good starts or two bad starts that had driven his ERA way up.

That's not the case with Anderson. He's given up 5, 5, 4, 4, 6 over a multitude of starts, but he's really turned it around in the last four. So, like, two of those starts are at Cincinnati and at Philadelphia. You get some credit for that. All right, let me give you the next two players on the most added list. They are 7th and 8th. Chris Taylor, who started, he's been starting for,

Jack Peterson, who's on the DL, and 29% owned Chris Taylor. Taylor is third base eligible. Let me check his eligibility. What was he before? Like, shows the prior week. He's second, third, and probably will be outfield eligible soon. He's up from 10% to 29%. So I don't really have a problem with him being on the list if he started at 10%.

Is this another Taylor-Modder, or is there more staying power here and more sustainability for Chris Taylor? Honestly, I see less potential in Chris Taylor. than I saw in Taylor Mauder. So I just, other than I have an opening in my NL-only lineup, but I need to fill it, let's ride this hot hands. I think it's more, like I could see it in, I assume he's owned in the For the People Podcast League. Yeah, he is. A 16-team mixed league, that makes sense. I think even a 14-team mixed league, you could make that case, especially if it was roto.

And we're looking at second base here. So Adam Frazier or Chris Taylor? I'd still go with Frazier. And Alex Savila, as I mentioned, James McCann left with an injury yesterday. And Alex Avila is 44% owned. And, yeah, I mean, I think he's cooled off a little bit this week because we picked him up on Team Scam. Yeah, of course. So let me tell you what Team Scam did this week.

We traded Sunny Gray and Edwardette Cardassio for Cory Klober and Jeff Samarja, who we'll talk about. So I was wondering. Yeah. And we picked about Alcevila. Like for next year, do we have to draw straw? to see who has to be on Scott's team? Why is it me? I'm equally as responsible.

I didn't make the playoffs last year for the P. We're winning our matchup this week, all right? We are? Yeah. Six and four. If you go six and four every week for the rest of the season, you might get back to 500.

We might. We might make the playoffs. At six and four every match? At 500. You're 14 behind? 14 games under? If we get to 500, we might make the playoffs. It's possible.

Yeah. Seven teams make the playoffs out of 16. That's not. It's not quite eight. Seven teams. Yeah, first round by for the number one seed. Alex Avila or Devin Mazzaraco. But then won't it still be an odd number?

Anyway. No, it'll be four after that. Really? We did it last year. Three winners had a size. By the way, I do much prefer seven teams making the playoffs to eight just as a general rule. But Alex Avila or Devin Mazzaraco, I will still say Devin Mazzaraco. All right.

Prospects, Scott. Let's talk prospects here. I think Scott would take a Vila. A little look on his face. No, no, I'd take Mazzaraco, too. The look is over the disgust over the four of the people. Like, any time he even thinks about this week. Well, I mean, if the McCann injury becomes a big deal, then that might change.

Anyway. Yeah, so let's talk about prospects. We'll do this quickly here. Which prospect should we be stashing? All right. So, Yon Mokata still, Ahmed Rizzerio still, Reese Hoskins still. Fortunately, none of them really made any Enroads in the last week. Mokada's actually been on the DL all that time.

time, but not a long-term injury. Let's get some New York shortstop bias and put a second New York shortstop on the list to join Ahmed Rosario. Yes, I added Glaber Torres to the list this week. I also raised the roof, and that actually did happen while I said that. Yeah, he did. Who got promoted from AA to AAA in the last few days? 20 years old.

I looked at him coming into the year. There's no chance this guy makes the majors this year. But if the Yankees are already promoting him to AAA this early in the year, year, there is a chance. And he's shown great plate discipline beyond his years. He showed improved power, as you would expect to be the case continually at this age. Every year, get a little stronger. I am just, like, other than Moncada, he's, Torres is probably the consensus top prospect

in baseball. And if he's one step away from the majors and playing some third base at that new league, level where, you know, the easiest opening for him in the major leagues would be replacing Chase Headley. Yeah. I think that's somebody you need to stash. Not because he's necessarily going to be the first prospect called up, but because he'll be one you'll be excited to own when he does eventually get called up.

So I added him to the list. We are going to get a lot of questions about Lewis Brinson with Braun going on the table. Every time Braun gets hurt, Princeton questions are going to come. He's having a decent year in AAA. I don't know that it matters. as long as it's not bad. The walks have been up. And, no, he's been on the list more weeks than not this year.

I bumped him this past week, and, of course, Braun gets hurt. So, yeah, no, Lewis Brinson's a good person to put on the list now. I added Reinaldo Lopez to the list because he's been improved his last few starts. The walk rates gone down, and, you know, White Sox have, like, Dylan Covey starting in the majors. They could easily fit Lopez in. And one more name who I've added. who has come on my radar since I wrote the column. Chris Shaw, for the Giants,

was promoted from AA to AAA this week. At AA, he hit 301 with six home runs in 901 OPS. He's a first baseman, but since promoting him to AAA and even a little in AA, he played some left field. Chris Shaw? Yes, Chris Shaw. And obviously, Eduardo Nunez is starting in left field for the Giants.

He is a disaster defensively. I think he's part of the reason Jeff Samarja's ERA is what it is. Is he supposed to stand on the other side of the fence? Chris Shaw's fast-tracking it. Hey, Samarja has the 22nd highest babbip among qualifying pitchers. Jeff Samarja had a streak end yesterday. He had gone 154 straight batters without issuing a walk. and he gave up one walk in seven innings, struck out eight, did give up three solo home runs at the Cubs,

who are hitting very well right now. Ben Zobris is hitting well, Jason Hayward is hitting well. With 22 swinging strikes for Jeff Simarge yesterday. Listen, I made a Jeff Samarja joke, and that's what I do. He's been much, much, much, much better than I expected. He's been much, much, much better than a 4-5 ERA. He looks like the pitcher he was in 2014. I don't expect it to fully last.

He's such a fooled you player. And the thing I really don't like is if he's outperforming what I think he's going to do. Scott is like, no, he stopped throwing the cutter. Well, I understand. Just that. The home run he gave up for Zildre yesterday was on a cutter, right? I'm not sure. We got a tweet from someone saying, I thought he gave up the cutter.

And it said. Gave up. Brooks baseball has recorded him throwing a cutter about 4% of the. time, I think. More or less gotten rid of it. And more sliders has replaced it. The slider's been his best swing and miss pitch this year. It's been the best it's ever been in his career.

His strikeout to walk ratio for the season is, you know, would have led qualifying pitchers by far last year. And if you just sort last year's pitchers by strikeout to walk ratio, it's basically everybody who is in Syong contention. It's the most important thing a pitcher can do. Samarge's home run rate is pretty high, but it's mostly because of two road starts where he gave up three home runs in each, including this one Thursday. His home park obviously is going to suppress home run tendencies like no other. His BAPBs on the high side.

I think there's been a lot of bad luck in terms of when badders do make contact off of him. and I think he has top 20 potential. So now that we did this trade, I was all on board because I would have taken Samarja ahead of Sunny Gray. Sunny Gray had that amazing start. Who would you guys rather have Samarja or Sunny Gray? I'm still saying Samarja. I'm going to stick with Gray. All right.

So nothing's changed. Well, look, we already know you love fantasy. You listen to our podcast. You love fantasy baseball. You love snake drafts. Why don't you play more fantasy baseball? Why don't you do more snake drafts on the daily. fantasy app called Draft. You can use our promo code FB today for a big time bonus when you deposit.

I'll tell you about that. But on draft, it's draft day every single day. You can play for free or better yet. You can play for money. And let me just tell you how it works. So the general rule is this. You compete against one person, off to 10 people. You do snake drafts. They're short, they're quick. They take only a few minutes. You draft two pitchers and three hitters. Doesn't matter what position. Now, you can do special rules where you can eliminate a big chunk of the player pool, make it a little bit more difficult. Or you can do another round of drafting. So there are a lot of variety.

There's a lot of variety. You also do things like more of the conventional daily fantasy where you just pick, you don't do a snake draft, you just pick who you think the best players will be. But I love the snake drafts, man. I really love it. I've been competing against some of our listeners. Download draft. Join me right now.

Let's take a little bit of time and look at yesterday's stuff. Manuel Margo is day-to-day with calf tightness. Juck Peterson, seven-day concussion d.L. Brian McCann expects to come off the concussion DL on Saturday. Amir Garrett is on the DL with right hip inflammation. Does that make you a little more optimistic about a lot of? Amir Garrett, maybe the injury was causing his struggles? A little.

I'm not totally dismissive of him like I was after those first two starts. But going into those two starts since his return from the minors, I was expecting significant regression. So it's still, like, I don't think he needs to be rostered in mixed leagues. Yeah, okay. And Oduble Herrera, I know he's been a hot topic lately. O'Fer 5 with 5 strikeouts. Here's my optimistic take on Oduble. sometimes when things are going bad, you have to hit rock bottom before things can get any better.

And there's no lower rock bottom than striking out five times at home against the Rockies. It's pretty bad. That's what? I think one walk, 27 strikeouts in May. So you have to hit rock bottom so that you can have this crazy hot streak after it, right? No, you have to hit rock bottom so you can have the awakening. To go back to being what we expected to be there. The first step to solving a problem is admitting you have one.

You have to hit something before you even hit rock bottom. One walk, 28 strikeouts, and a 194 batting average for Herrera. He needs a few days off. Clear his head. Michael Franco just got two. Andrew McCutcheon just got his second straight day off. Scott says that McCutcheon has found a mechanical flaw, and he's opting. McCutcheon says that.

Scott noticed that. Scott shared the message with you. Herrera has a mechanical flaw as well as swinging at everything. Herrera? Yes. A little too much twist in the torso for McCutcheon, he's saying. Uh-huh, right. Cameron Mabin left with knee-sortness, he could play today. Well, McCutcheon is going to have a hot streak.

There's no question. Just, like, yeah, I just don't think he's that good anymore. Okay. Mabin could play today. It doesn't seem big. Gregory Polanco is off the D.L. Eduardo Nunez sat with hamstring tightness. And now that we have Interleague play every week, you know,

you got to keep an eye on guys like Albert Pupils, which is what my phone calls Albert Pujols. He could sit next week at Miami. So just always check when you have D.H. guys. When they have Interleague play, like, look, we got lucky with Carlos Santanae play the outfield in Cincinnati, but I know Poohoost isn't going to play the outfield. Maybe he'll play some first, but he might sit. All right.

Segment called, Do You Still Have Hope for? And I will give you five names, six names. Do you still have hope for Kevin Kiermeyer, 57% owned? Not really. Not like I did coming into the year. He is an okay, cheap source of steals. Probably still worth owning in some five outfielder category leagues. but I'm not really expecting some kind of awakening from him.

Do you still, that's Kevin Kierbier. I still have hope that he can be similar to what he was in the past, because he's been worse than he's ever been. But I don't have hope for the breakup. Do you still have hope for Byron Buxton this year? Hope would be classifying it too strongly, I think. I'm not completely closed to the idea, but I don't see the need to roster him in a seasonal league.

Do you still have hope for Byron Bucksson in a Keeper League? Yes. Yeah, I mean, it's fading. You've probably missed your chance to not sell incredibly low on him, so you might as well just hold. Yeah, next May is the cutoff date. Next May. I'm officially out.

Do you still have hope for Travis Darno? Darno. Darno, I don't. You beat me to it. Do you still have hope for Jackie Bradley, 82% owned Jackie. Yeah, yeah, great hope. Like, I don't think he's must-own and shallow three outfielder leagues because there are so many good outfielders emerging this year.

But I think he's going to be useful eventually. More like Jackie Badley. Oh, man. Do you still have hope for him? I don't have hope that he's going to be a must-own outfielder in a three-outfielder league. I do have hope that he is going to be a must-own outfielder in a three-outfielder league for at least two months when he goes nuts. I still have hope that he is that guy. I still have hoped that he is a guy that Jackie Bradley can get really hot and be one of the hottest hitters in baseball.

I will still project more than 20 home runs for him this year. Is it four right now? Yeah, that doesn't even sound like a radical projection. No, but it might happen. 12 of them might happen in two months. That's kind of what I'm hoping for him. Okay. But it's only hope.

It's not certainty. Dexter Fowler, 77% owned. Dexter Fowler snapped an over 20 last night. He might lose his lead-off spot. Do you still have hope for him? I will point out that he has walked 20 times in 40 games. I have more hope for Fowler than I do for Bradley. Okay.

I don't know that I agree with that. I think Fowler, like they're both going to be better than this. But I just think the ultimate ceiling's higher for Bradley. Do you still have hope for Dansby Swanson this year? He's been hot, hasn't he? He's been hot. I don't think it's been like a great hot. stretch. I didn't get a chance to look up the numbers. But yes, he is showing up in the box

score at the very least. It felt like I said this last time we talked about him. It felt like one of those Jose Parraza hot streaks. It was like, this was your hot streak? But do you still have hope for Danesby Swanson this year? I feel like this depends so much on what your original expectations for Danesby Swanson were. Like, I didn't really, I don't think ever have hope that he was going to be a top 12 shortstop. I have hope that he was. I have hope that he was. will be rosterable in a mixed roto league? Yeah. Well, he hasn't been based on the thing.

The thing is a shortstop. It takes, like, Eduardo Nunez is amazingly a top 12 shortstop, you know? Like, it doesn't take much to get back there. But it hasn't been the most impressive hot streak for Swanson. He's still striking out a lot. I, you know, it was surprising the Braves called him up when they did last year. And I feel like he could maybe use more time the minors. I don't know if he's going to get it.

but I have some hope I need to see a lot more than I'm seeing right now, though. Let's look at the rotation. Let me go a deep league guy first. Rio Ruiz, Braves' third baseman, 3% owed. Any interest in Rio Ruiz? I mean, in L only, sure. He's going to play, and basically anybody who plays gets playing time there. I don't think he has a lot of power potential.

I think he might sit against lefties. Yeah, there's... Yeah, there's a good possibility of that, too. Okay, so... Just felt obligated to say Rio Ruiz. It's a very cool name. Oh, exceptional. His name is Rio.

Right. And he dances in NL Only Leagues. And let's go to the rotation. Stash or drop Gio Gonzalez? Or start him. 32 walks in 62 in 602 innings. But he does have a... I try to trade him.

Who does he face next week? I don't know, Heath. Well, that would determine whether I... I would start him or not. But you wouldn't drop Geo Gonzalez? I'm not dropping Geo Gonzalez. No, he's not really been that much different than what I expected. Eight straight starts with three walks or more.

He has a 137 whip. The ERA is still good, which is why you could maybe trade him for something. At San Francisco next week. I'm in. Starting him. All right. That might be the last. Maybe he does well there.

You try to sell him. It's not a flat. Like, if I have infinite pitcher spots, I'm starting Geo Gonzalez with that matchup. If I have five, he's probably not making the cup for me. By the way, have you seen Buster Posey's stats? Yes. These are amazing. Buster Posi is hitting 345 with seven home runs.

345 with seven home runs. Do you know Heath how many RBIs he has? 15? He's 11 RBIs. Yeah. That's like what? He's 11 RBIs. 40 RBI pace or something?

Yeah, right about that. 40, 44 RBI pace. He's hitting 3.45. And slucking 540, and he's on pace for 44 RBIs. That's probably why he's still not the number one catcher. Well, he was for a while. I guess he slipped. Mind-blowing.

But, I mean, it's going to correct. The Giants' offense isn't great. I understand that. Eric Hosmer got off to a similar start last year. It didn't last quite this long. I think it was more of a one-month phenomenon than nearly two months. Yeah, I'm not even saying anything about fantasy. I just think, like, as a baseball fan,

You have to understand that. It's amazing. It's amazing. It's amazing stat. So I want to point this out because it was fairly amazing for Hosmer last year, how something like this can change. April, he had 8 RBI. RBI. RBI.

8 RBI last April when he hit 326, Eric Hosmer. The next months were 27, 13, 10, 22, 20. He set a career high in RBI for the year after a disastrous start. 27 in a month? Yeah. That's pretty good. Well, he only had eight the months before, so. Exactly.

Yeah, that's what happens. Exactly. And finally, Robbie Ray, please, give me three good starts in a row because this is like the third time he's given us two good ones in a row. This is great. Give me three in a row, Robbie Ray. I would like three good starts in a row as well. I think that's a possibility. I don't, like when we got really excited about Robbie Ray,

I didn't see him jumping into the top 25 starter equation, I guess. I was hoping he'd be a solid, maybe not solid, but a number three with some upside. And those pitchers don't often have three really good starts in a row. If they did, they would be number two starters. It's not much of a threshold. All I'm saying, like, not only, he's got a 675 ERA at home and a 0.81 ERA and 5 road starts. And last year, 450 R.A. on the road and 536 at home. So, again, I know we say this like every time he pitches.

But if that humidor ever makes its way to Arizona, Robbie Ray could have an amazing year. You can have a really good year anyway. I want to talk about Yvonne Nova, but we really have to get to the two-star pitchers. Buy, sell, hold, Yvonne Nova. Oh, definitely. The strikeouts are so low, though. Yeah. Like last year they were low on Pittsburgh.

this year they're like four and a half per nine or something it's gone on long enough and the skill of throwing strikes not not throwing balls um like that that's it's it's extreme enough it's an extreme enough skill where i you know basically he's like a younger harder throwing bartolo cologne and we've seen bartolo cologne prior to this year have a lot of success in fantasy so I think he's going to be somebody you can count on all year, particularly in this pitching environment where it's hard to, where it's so rarely our pitcher is throwing six innings. Could there be more like polar opposite pitchers of Robbie Ray and about Nova? No. No.

What about like? I would, I'd much rather have Robbie Ray than Nova. But I'm probably holding, maybe it's possible that you could sell him for a top. 30 starting pitcher that's struggling? Like, if I could sell Nova for Tanaka, I'd gladly do it. Nova has 4.8 strikeouts per 9. Last year, with Pittsburgh, it was 7.2. Do you agree that a pitcher cannot be successful with 4.8 strikeouts per 9?

Yes. Yeah. Yeah, probably not. It will have to go up. I suspect it will go up. It wasn't helped by one strikeout in eight in the third innings, you know? And by the way, it was a much better start than the numbers would indicate. He gave up two runs through eight innings, came out for the 9.

and gave up two more runs. So you say, why are you talking about Nova so highly? You gave him four runs. He had a really good start. All righty. Let's talk to start pitchers for Fantasy Week. Nine. Wow.

All right. Chris Sale's going to have 25 strikeouts next week because he's got two starts. Dylan Bundy, Yankees and Red Sox, both at home. I mean, you're starting Dylan, buddy. Yeah. Okay. It's a little worrisome. It may not be as good as a typical two-start pitcher from a two-start week from a top 35 pitcher, but

Jose Cantana, Boston and at Detroit. Boston and home at Detroit, Cantana. Absolutely. I'm starting him. I'm starting him. I'm nervous. I'm very, very nervous. But if I, like, if I drafted Jose Cantana where you had to draft him, I probably hadn't

helped my team very much anyway. He's had a lot of good starts. I know the last one was bad, but he had like, what, five good before that? I don't know. He's fine. No issues with Mike. Lake with Michael Waka after a rough start last night?

No. Because he's got the Dodgers at home and the Cubs on the road. Yeah, you're still going to start him. All right, we got two road starts for Julio Tehran at the Angels and at the Reds. I'm going to start him. Yeah, big park that first matchup at least. Small park, the second one, but I'll take it.

And we've got Rich Hill at St. Louis and at Milwaukee. I'm starting him. Yeah, it makes me very nervous. but I think you have to roll the dice. Charlie Morton at Minnesota at Texas. Yeah, I'm cool with that. Sure.

Now we get to guys who are possibly available in your leagues. Jordan Montgomery at Baltimore and at Toronto. Wasn't he supposed to be a two-star pitcher this week? That happens a lot. How many rainouts were there yesterday? Four? Two, I thought. Yeah, okay.

It seemed like more. It seemed like four. Look, Toronto, they're hitting well now, and they're getting Donaldson back today, and they're getting too low back today, whatever that's worth. I would not start him in a Roto League. I would not start him in a standard 12-team points league, but anything deeper, I probably would. All right, Jordan Montgomery. Matt Moore has been pitching pretty well. Washington and home, Philadelphia on the road, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, you have to. All right, this is the one that's been staring at me in the face saying, Adam, you ready to take this ride? Trevor Bauer, 58% owned, Oakland at home, Kansas City on the road. Well, do we know Trevor Bauer is making two starts? Thank you for saying that because that makes me not pick him up. Trevor Bauer's been on an okay run lately. Quality starts except for the fact that he didn't quite go six in a couple of them.

Five and two-thirds and a third. I mean, by today's standards, that's some reliability. I feel like that Josh Tomlin hasn't shown. So I think Tomlin's more in jeopardy of losing a spot than Bauer is. Maybe Bauer's okay with these matchups. It's just an extra variable added to that already big gamble. I rode this roller coaster early in the year and puked all over myself. And if I was you and had your voice at him, I would sing, we are Trevor, Trevor, Trevor, getting back together.

Wow. Yeah. know what it used to be. We are never, ever drafting Mark Cheshirea. Yeah, well, we're Trevor getting back together. Okay. Let me read some more names. Jeremy Hellickson, at Miami and home against San Francisco.

I forgot. I was thinking about... We are never... At Miami and home against San Francisco. For who? Helixin? Probably not. No.

You want bad strikeout numbers, man. Chris Hillman, start or sit. Yankees and Red Sox. I don't trust him. Kenta Maida. He's not available on waivers, but he was only started in 33%. Yes, yeah. Starting myita.

Yep. All right. It's a tough week at St. Louis and at Milwaukee. Yeah, I don't care. He's good. Matt Garza at the Mets, home against the Dodgers. Probably not. Probably sitting.

Did you skip Tyler Anderson? About to get to him. Tyler Anderson, Seattle at home, San Diego on the road. Yeah, this is probably my favorite sleeper among those less than 80% owned. Well, Matt Moore, I guess, technically. But because one is at San Diego. Didn't he just say earlier in the podcast?

He was the one-star? Well, what I was looking at said he was just one. When I actually put together the two-star pitcher rankings today, I'm going to confirm that he's really in line for two starts because sometimes some tricky things happen with those baseball Tyler Anderson logos. But I like the...

I like the... Yeah, so, you know, but still, at San Diego, I like that matchup for anybody and then the first start at home doesn't really scare me away. Yeah, I was against Tyler Anderson when I thought he was one start at home, but if he has San Diego on the road, then that would be the difference. Do you have the matchups in front of you guys? I have the matchups pulled up, yes. Ariel Miranda.

No. At Colorado and Tampa Bay. Okay. It's one of us at Colorado, yeah. Daniel Norris. No. Nope. Tyler Chatwood.

Same matchup. Seattle at home, San Diego on the road. Yes. He's been pretty good. The Tyler's have kind of worked in tandem this year. A lot of walks. A lot of walks for Tyler. Yeah.

I definitely prefer Anderson to Chatwood, but I could see Chatwood more than I can. A lot of the pitchers we've named. Now, Chatwood, I believe, is a pitcher who's much better on the road than at home. Yes. Which is not surprising. He has one home start, one road start. Zach Davies. No.

Jesse Hahn. Nah. Nope. Ricky Nalasco. Atlanta, Minnesota. Probably not. Martine Perez. I'd rather start rigging Nulesco.

Me too. Robert Gazellman. I don't have the match-outs. Milwaukee, Pittsburgh. Pretty good. Those are good matchups. Milwaukee's not a good matchup. A lot of strikeouts.

A lot of strikeouts. Where is it? They're both in New York. Not at Miller Park, then, yep. But I really wasn't that impressed by Gisleman's start. It was a quality start technically. It was against the Padres. Yeah, not a lot of swings and misses.

I want to do it. Arasimo Ramirez at Texas at Seattle. Not the worst. Yeah, I don't think so. Jason Hamill, too. Erasimo Ramirez at Texas at Seattle. Jason Hamill, home against Detroit, home against Cleveland. They're less than 20% own.

Hamill for you? Yep. All right. Volquez, Gaviglio, Delgado, Cozart, Trevor Williams, Bonilla, Daniel Wright. Nope, nope, nope. Daniel Wright's probably not making two starts. Nope.

Nope. Get him out of here. Nope. Get him out of here. You know what that's from? get him out of here you know who the two-star picture is get the bleep out of my room that is my favorite

maybe my favorite arrested development moment he's Busters in the hospital he just lost his hand and he keeps making all these puns and then Michael tries to make one he's like maybe I could give my brother a hand

or something like that Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah him out of here he loses it Get him out of here freaks out what are you going to say you I've never seen a rusted development

you should see arrested development You should see my face right now. I'm so disappointed in you. I can't see your face right now. And after three seasons. Is that it? Only three?

Yeah. Well, the fourth season was the one that came out a decade later on Netflix. Oh, that was the fourth season? They only did three seasons? Yeah, three seasons. Unbelievable television. So are the first three seasons on Netflix? Yes.

Okay. And then just don't watch after that. Agreed. Didn't read any emails today because we've got a mailbag show coming up. So that's going to air on Monday. Everybody enjoy your Memorial Day. Thank you so much for listening. This is Fantasy Baseball today.

We'll talk to you on Monday with the pre-recorded show. On Tuesday, we're back in action.
