    2312 - The Arrival of Konnor Griffin
    2026/04/04
    Take 10 with Tim – April 3, 2026 @ 9:15 am – 1 hr
    1. Now were talking…Konnor Griffin will be promoted prior to Friday’s game. It’s being reported that the Pirates signed him to a nine year, $140 million contract. It was in line with what the Red Sox signed Roman Anthony for last season 8-years and $130 million.
    a. It’s smart given what has happened to contracts, but as we’ve been saying, you’ve got to get Griffin in the big leagues soon to get acclimated
    i. Ok – projections – AB, HR, SB and BA
    ii. Does this make a difference for the Pirates? If so, how many wins?
    b. The Mariners have also signed Colt Emerson to a long-term deal (8-years and $95 million) but are keeping him in the minor leagues – for now.
    2. Who would you nominate for each position after the first week of play? Mine are listed
    a. Best fantasy hitter
    i. Rich: Shea Langeliers – 24 AB and five home runs
    1. Is he 2026’s Cal Raleigh
    ii. Tim: Drake Baldwin – 3 HR, 7 RBI
    b. Best fantasy pitcher
    i. Rich: Cam Schlitter – 11.2 IP, 2 wins, 15K, 0.00 ERA
    ii. Tim: Kevin Gausman – 12.0 IP, 21K, 1.00 ERA
    c. Biggest surprise
    i. Rich: Chase DeLauter – 22 AB, 4 HR
    ii. Tim: Liam Hicks – 1.659 OPS and leading the league in RBIs
    d. Come on, do something.
    i. Rich: Jakob Marsee – 22 AB, 3 hits, 1 SB, 7K/3BB, .136 BA
    ii. Tim: Wyatt Langford – 4 for 28, 1 RBI, 0 HR, 0 SB
    e. Surprise team
    i. Rich: Red Sox – 1-5, vs. Reds and Astros – Only 17 runs scored, second worse in baseball only behind the Giants
    ii. Tim: Marlins – 5-1 and scored 33 runs and Yankees 5-1 and only given 6 urns.
    f. Best individual performance in a game
    i. Rich: Gavin Williams – 4/1 vs. LAD – 7 IP, 2 hits, 0 ER, 10K/3BB
    ii. Tim: Sandy Alcantara – 4/1 vs. CHW – 9 IP, 3 hits, 7K/0BB in 97 pitches
    3. Carlos Estevez officially goes on the IL, and it’s now Lucas Erceg in the closer role. Can Erceg keep the job regardless of what happens to Estevez, or is this just temporary, given that Estevez makes $10 million a year, and well, Erceg doesn’t?
    4. You guy, Cody Ponce hurts his knee and while there is no treatment plan yet, it appears he’ll be out for a good chunk of the season. Who gets his starts in Toronto?
    5. Are you ready to give the Closer role in St. Louis to Riley O’Brien?
    6. Given me a hitter that you are targeting for this weekend?
    a. Jose Fernandez - Diamondbacks
    7. Give me a pitcher that you are targeting for this weekend?
    a. Clayton Beeter - Washington

    Fantasy Baseball Live – March 29, 2026 @ 3 pm – I need to be done by 4:15 pm.




    Segment 1 – Review the games of the weekend
    Other notes:
    1.Cam Schlitter was dominate in his first outing – 5.1 IP, 1 hit, 0 ER, 8K/1BB
    a.I wasn’t sure about him coming into the season, but WOW that was something.
    2.Several rookies have gotten off to strong starts
    a.Chase DeLauter – 4 for 9, 2K/0BB, 3 HR against the Mariners (against Gilbert and Kirby)
    b.JJ Wetherholt – 3 for 9, 1 HR, 1 SB, 1K/0BB, including a walk off hit
    c.Sal Stewart – 5 for 8, 1 HR, 1K/0BB
    3.Michael McGreevy fastball averaged 90.7 mph (T 92.2) with only 6 whiffs on 36 swings, but somehow no-hit the Rays for six innings. I’m not sure about this one. Thoughts?
    4.Andrew Vaughn becomes the fourth guy to fracture his hamate bone. Jeferson Quero gets the callup, they shift Bauers to first for Saturday’s game and Lockridge fills in for Bauers, who was filling in for Chourio.
    a.Any interest in Quero.
    b.Odd, they didn’t give Tyler Black a shot after a great spring.
    5.Christopher Morel has an oblique issue and the Marlins call on Deyvison De Los Santos to make his long awaited MLB debut?
    a.Any interest?

    Notes – March 22, 2026 @ 3pm



    Segment 1 – News and Notes
    1.Dylan Crews was demoted this weekend. While surprising on one level, I had concerns after reviewing the data over the winter and shared that with our Patreon members. Plus, he just didn’t perform well this spring.
    a.How concerned are you for the long term for Crews?

    2.Brandon Sproat wins the fifth starter role over Logan Henderson.
    a.I liked the deal that brought Sproat to Milwaukee, and he had a great spring. Your thoughts?

    3.Logan Henderson might be back, as there is talk of Brandon Woodruff not quite being ready. He did not pitch well in his last outing.

    4.Marcelo Mayer wins the second base job over Kristian Campbell.
    a.Thoughts on Mayer this season.
    b.What happened to Kristian Campbell – from the penthouse to the doghouse

    5.As discussed, Jasson Dominguez will start the season in the minor leagues. Let’s see if he can hit lefties.
    a.Are you worried long-term about him? He’s only 23 – just turned 23 last month.

    6.Carson Benge will go north with the team. He posted a great batting average this spring, but he only hit one extra-base hit.
    a.What are your thoughts for him in 2026?

    7.Trey Yesavage has a shoulder impingement and will start the season on the IL.
    a.Why doesn’t this surprise me?

    8.Andrew Painter appears to have secured the fifth starter spot in Philadelphia – although, I haven’t seen official confirmation yet.t.
    a.Thoughts on him this season?

    Segment 2 – Guys you avoided at the draft
    We talked about all the players we liked for 2026, give me a couple of players you just avoided and why.

    Segment 3 – 2026 Bold predictions – Mine are listed
    •Hitters
    oWyatt Langford emerges as a superstar and becomes a first-round pick in 2027
    oRoman Anthony hits 40 home runs and becomes the face of the Red Sox
    oCoby Mayo hits .270 with 28 home runs, and despite ugly defense at third, keeps Jordan Westburg on the bench when he returns.
    Bonus: In the offseason, the Orioles will try to trade Pete Alonso, but will instead move Rutschman. This will move Basallo full-time to catcher and Mayo full-time to DH.
    Since the emperor has no clothes, the junior members of the Orioles front office will be thinking they made a mistake in signing Pete Alonso, but nobody will have the courage to bring it up to GM Mike Elias.
    oJac Caglione hits 50 home runs but fantasy managers have to deal with his .225 batting average.
    oKevin McGonigle will win the April Rookie of the Month award and carry that throughout the season to easily win ROY

    •Pitching
    oShane Baz finally puts things together in Baltimore and becomes a Top 20 to 25 starting pitcher in the game.
    oIn July, the Dodgers starting rotation will be Shohei Ohtani, Emmet Sheehan, River Ryan, and Landon Knack. By late July, they will jump the gun on everyone and trade for Tarik Skubal
    oRobby Snelling will get the first call in Miami, but it’s Thomas White who excels, pushing Snelling back to Triple-A.
    oHogan Harris saves 30 games for the A’s
    oRiver Ryan will win the NL ROY as he’ll dominate once all the Dodgers pitchers get hurt in May.
