    2211 - Tim's new rankings of 1B, 2B, SS, and 3B

    Segment 1 - News and Notes
    1.Gerrit Cole has been shut down for a month with nerve inflammation in his pitching elbow. He will pick up a ball at that point to test things.
    a.This blows for people who drafted Cole in the first round.
    b.Who gets the starts for the Yankees?
    2.Eury Perez's elbow is also barking, and he’s meeting with a surgeon this week to get a diagnosis.
    a.Another top-10 pitcher is gone. This is when I would like you to discuss your pitching narrative below. Only three of the top-10 starters in 2023 will begin the 2024 season, and 18 of 50 are hurt.
    b.Who gets the starts in Perez’s absence?
    3.Devin Williams will be out for three months. Yikes. He was a top 3 closer off the board. Who do you pick up? – Miguel, Uribe, Payamps
    4.Taj Bradley will start the season on the IL with pectoral discomfort. Who gets his starts in Tampa?
    5.On a positive pitching note. Scherzer and Verlander are getting closer to picking up a baseball.
    6.There was a big trade this week with the Padres on the move again. They acquired Dylan Cease for Drew Thorpe (the second time he’s been traded this offseason), Jairo Irarate, Sammy Zavala, and Steven Wilson.
    a.Do you like the move for fantasy managers who have drafted Cease?
    b.Do you move up Thorpe in your rankings?
    c.c. The Padres do this a lot: trade for big names. Will it work this time? The last I looked, they were in the same division as the Dodgers.
    7.Shota Imanga has looked better than Yamamoto this spring. It had to said.


    Segment 2 – Updating Tim’s Rankings

    First Base
    1.I’d move Rhys Hoskins up ahead of Sal Perez. He’s having a good Spring.
    Second Base
    1.Drop Tommy Edman down below Gavin Lux. The wrist isn’t coming around and he is starting the season on the IL. It could turn out to be a long-term issue.
    2.Drop Zach McKinstry down into the 30’s. He won’t be a full-time bat.
    3.Drop Jonathan India down.
    4.Move Brendan Rodgers up into the mid-20’s.
    5.Joey Ortiz at #65 moves up into the high 20’s with the trade to Milwaukee.
    6.Drop Taylor Walls down. Starting the season on the IL.
    Third Base
    1.Drop Noelvi Marte. A reserve pick in 15-team ReDrafts.
    2.It looks like the Joey Ortiz trade bumps Tyler Black down the board, as it should.
    3.Colt Keith should slide up a few slots.
    Shortstop
    1.Oneil Cruz has to move up.
    2.Jackson Merrill has to move up as it looks like he’s making the Padres as the CF.
    3.Masyn Winn and Brice Turang should be bumped up.

    2208 - Outfield Sleepers

    2208 - Outfield Sleepers

    Fantasy Baseball Live – March 10, 2024

    Segment 1 - News and Notes
    1.Noelvi Marte gets suspended for 80 games to start the season after testing positive for a BAN PED. Given the length it takes to test, I’m wondering if he tested positive last season.
    a.When sports leagues try to convince us that PEDs are out of their league, it seems like they are more hopeful or just trying to convince us that their product is clean. Your thoughts…is Marte an anomaly or just a young kid who got caught?
    b.Break down the infield for the Reds to start the season.
    2.It appears that Mookie Betts will gain SS eligibility after the Dodgers moved Gavin Lux to second with concerns about his ability to make the throw.
    a.I know we people get excited about what Ohtani can do, but moving from the outfield back to shortstop after not playing there for years is pretty impressive. I’m not sure fans have a true appreciation for this.
    b.Given this news, would you give pause to drafting Gavin Lux as a sleeper? It's not the lack of SS eligibility, but it appears he is not completely healthy.
    3.Tommy Edman will start the season on the IL. Dylan Carlson gets another life. What about Victor Scott II?
    4.Joey Votto signs a minor league deal with the Blue Jays. Any interest?
    5.Nathaniel Lowe will start the season on the IL. It looks like Justin Foscue will get a chance. Also, this might give more confidence that Wyatt Langford will come North with the team. Although he’s been a monster this spring, keeping him down would be tough to do. Your thoughts?
    a.What happens when Lowe returns?
    6.Fascinating article this week in the Athletic from Rangers head physician Dr. Keith Meister (he’s the inventor of the brace elbow surgery). His position is that many of the injuries occurring with pitchers are now just not velocity, but the expanded use of sweepers and power change-up (turbo change-up). I surmised that added horizontal movement from sweepers would tax the arm, but the power change-up was something I had not considered. He said it came a lot from how hard the player had to squeeze the ball. When you look at the pitchers with the highest change-up velos, it’s a little scary.
    7.Lucas Giolito has a UCL tear and is getting a second opinion, but TJS looks likely. This will be his second.
    8.Mason Black could be start the season in the Giants rotation. Any interest?

    Segment 2 – Outfield Sleepers – Please have five or so.
    1.Jaren Duran (OF, Bos, ADP=167) – When I did my targets in December, his ADP was 200
    2.Henry Davis (OF, Pit, 295) – When I did my targets in December, his ADP was 441
    3.Riley Greene (OF, Det, 163) – He’s looking increasingly like he’ll start the season with full-time at-bats. Hits the ball hard with speed. Step up?
    4.Dylan Crews (OF, Was, 570) – Yes, Wyatt Langford could be a monster, but people are forgetting about Crews and he’s free in drafts
    5.Chase DeLauter (OF, Cle, 669) – He’s better than Ramon Laureano. Look for him in the second half.
    6.Andy Pages (OF, LAD, 747) – I love the setup here despite no room at the inn.

Baseball and some

Rich and Tim, just like myself a Rich and my good friend Tim talking shop. With this you get data driven baseball Prospects facts from Rich and Asian players luck and Tim’s wisdom make it unique to fantasy baseball podcasts. It’s not daily, so it’s not mundane and they take a step back and speak to what’s going on. I’ve been listening for many years and enjoy listening to them. What’s for dinner, Tim?
