Fantasy Baseball Live – February 4, 2024
Segment 1 – News and Notes
1.The Angelos family agreed to sell their team to a group headed by famed private equity manager David Rubenstein. Also included in the team is HOFer Cal Ripken and former NYC mayor and billionaire Mike Bloomberg. The Angelos family still has a controlling interest but has agreed to sell the team upon the passing of Peter Angelos, who is 94 and in failing health.
a.While this doesn’t guarantee that the new ownership group will spend money, the Angelos family was not going to. Therefore, I think it’s a good thing for the Orioles franchise. Your thoughts?
2.Perhaps related to the sale, the following day, the Orioles acquired Corbin Burnes from the Brewers for IF Joey Ortiz, LHP DL Hall and the Orioles 1st round competitive balance pick (Pick #34).
a.What did you think of the deal? Was it a win-win or did one side get the better of the other?
b.You have to like the Orioles top three starters now in Burnes, G. Rodriguez and Kyle Bradish, no?
c.Do you think the Brewers had to do this deal as the likelihood of signing Burnes, a Boras client, was next to zero?
d.Are you investing in either Hall or Ortiz?
3.The A’s acquire Ross Stripling. It’s not great stuff but he throws strikes. Any interest?
Segment 3 – Starting Pitching Preview (We will likely do two podcast)
1.How are you approaching this position for your upcoming drafts?
2.We will break down the top 30 to 45 in detail. Then, go through the next 30 in less detail. We will end by jumping around the remaining ranked players.
3.Which player not in the Top 15 has a chance to emerge there next season?
4.Which Top 15 player will not be there next season?
5.Give me a couple of sleepers
6.Give me one, maybe two guys you will just avoid drafting?

2191 - Rich answers your Prospect Questions (Part 2) Feb 02, 2024

Show notes

Prospect Questions – Part 2
Q1 – Greg K. (Patreon)
1.Prospect cut-down day after FYPDs is always tricky. Any thoughts on the general makeup of your prospects? For example, do you lean a certain percentage hitter vs. pitcher? Floor vs. upside? Positional need vs. best players available? Thanks, Rich!
Q2 – Bob K (Patreon)
Darren Bowen was one of the prospects traded to the Twins as part of the Polanco deal. I had not heard much, if anything, about him until now. Curious as to your thoughts. Thanks!
Q3 – John D (Patreon)
My favorite thing on the Patreon service is your breakdown of players using baseballsavant. I’ve learned so much, but still have a long way to go. You’ve mentioned several times that if a player adds loft, they could also see an increase in their strikeout rate. Why is this? Thanks and keep up the great work.
Q4 – Jon Dean (Patreon)
Would like to hear a breakdown of the top college prospect, JJ Weatherholt. Is he a Gunnar Henderson type or a Bryson Stott type? West Virginia minds are inquiring.
Q5 - Matt D (Patreon)
1.What happened to Jacob Berry? They don't give $6M bonuses to just anyone.
2.Is D.J. Herz a closer in waiting? And should I care?
Q6 - Mike H (Patreon)
1.Hey rich, what would you do in dynasty with prospects who are no longer prospects. For me I have guys like Alec Burleson, Mark Vientos, Jordan Diaz and Drew Waters. These are four edge cases I have to make choices on. I can see scenarios where maybe one of them breaks out but it’s so hard, especially with a competitive team. Thanks!
Q7 - Dustin P (Patreon)
1.How about Paul Skenes. I want him in a dynasty league but he’s with the pirates and that scares me. I’m leaning towards taking Dylan Crews.
Q8 - Albert C (Patreon)
1.Over the next 5 years who has 1st round upside with an adjustment to their profile? You were so good in pointing out Acuna before most. Who are we etching into our wood tables?

2190 - All-Request Prospect Podcast Jan 31, 2024

Show notes

Prospect All-Request – January 31, 2024
Q1 – Mike W. (Patreon)
Any advice for keeper leagues?
Any Rule 5 guys to keep an eye on?
Q2 – Chris
1. I hear you talk about spin rates or chase rates for MiLB players and I want that data. Is Statcast data publicly available for MiLB players? If so where? (I think I would even pay for it) I know you can look it up for AAA games, but it's pretty much the only source I know about.
2. Any DSL or J15, other then big $ guys, that you're hearing are potential impact players?
3. What do you think is/are the most important statistic(s) to look at when stat scouting MiLB hitters or pitchers?
Q3 – RandMM (X)
1. Maybe more a "Tim" question, and hopefully it's not "0.0"... New to .5 holds and I "don't pay for saves" - does "pay for holds" strategy work? i.e. Hader, $22 last year - multiple $7 [Tim saves poacher/high k/9/holds leader] instead? NLonlydynasty thinking Uribe/Kekering types?
Q4 – Robby (Patreon and X)
1. Colt Keith and Cayden Wallace
Q5 – Nick (X)
1. How much does Nick Yorkes value change with the acquisition of Vaughn Grissom?
Q6 – Paul (Patreon)
1. How much stock should we put in our analysis of minor leaguers' splits by month?
For example, Rece Hinds and Cam Collier are two players who turned their seasons around with significantly better performances in the 2nd Half of the season. Hinds - 1st half = 255/311/515 and 39.2% K rate Hinds - 2nd half = 289/355/566 and 26.7% K rate Collier - 1st half = 202/310/320 and 27.5% K rate Collier - 2nd half = 283/382/387 and 23.7% K rate Do you think that's real improvement due to the player developing? Or do you think that's a result of the best pitchers getting promoted? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2. Fun question - What's your favorite minor league park? What's the minor league park that you've always wanted to visit that you haven't seen a game at yet? Thanks for the everything! Keep up the great work!
Q7 – David B. (Patreon)
How good can Henry Davis be?
