It\u2019s article #200 for yours truly! At least on the baseball side. I lost track of where I was on the football side \u2014 way over 200, that\u2019s all I know. But who cares about fantasy football, that\u2019s like\u2026weeks away. Right now, you\u2019ve got a terrible fantasy baseball team, and you\u2019re looking for some sweet adds, aren\u2019t you? Let\u2019s get some deep cuts on your radar.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s What I Like<\/p>\n
Trent Grisham<\/a>, OF, NYY:\u00a0I\u2019m not above profiling players that I\u2019ve already profiled. I mean, it\u2019s not my fault if y\u2019all didn\u2019t believe me the first time. They say that messages need to be delivered seven times using seven different methods. The first time was writing. The second time was\u2026also writing. When it gets to be the third time, that will also be writing. OK, maybe I\u2019m out of method ideas. When Razzball TV gets up and running again, maybe you\u2019ll get the second method. ENYWHEY. TGrish has four bombs in his last 40 at bats to go along with\u20264 RBIs. That\u2019s OK, I like to go solo too. He\u2019s still available in 50% of leagues and has even climbed into the top of the order on a high-octane Yankees team where he might get more opportunities for Runs. People are right to worry about his historically bad average hurting your team, but his K rate at 23% isn\u2019t terrible and he\u2019s walking at a 10% rate still. That means \u2014 when he\u2019s not crushing, he\u2019s getting on base for guys like Judge to drive home. For free off the waiver wire, I\u2019m not complaining.<\/p>\n Kyle Stowers<\/a>, OF, MIA:\u00a0A lot of people did the OF free fall during draft season and have been wondering what to do while waiting for Acuna to come back from the IL. I warned you that OF sucked this year! But that\u2019s OK because inevitably, some rando gets a shot at a starting job and becomes our FAAB all-star. In his last 40 AB, Stowers has batted nearly .400 while adding 5 dingers and 15 RBIs. Such a torrid pace! Why haven\u2019t we heard of this Atlas before? Because he\u2019s never kept his K rate below 30%. How many players in 2024 managed to garner qualified at bats while also keeping a 30% K rate? 4 \u2014 Zack Gelof<\/a>, Elly De La Cruz<\/a>, Colton Cowser<\/a>, and Oneil Cruz<\/a>. Maybe that\u2019s not the worst company. But you get the idea \u2014 if you\u2019re striking out that much, you either need to be a top prospect, an elite talent, or on the Athletics. Stowers is none of those, so we gotta keep our fingers crossed. He\u2019s managed to keep his K rate at 27% \u2014 which is driven by a nearly 18% swinging strike rate. But if you\u2019re in a regular fantasy league where batter Ks don\u2019t really matter, then who cares? Stowers is available in 40% of leagues.<\/p>\n Shelby Miller<\/a>, RP, ARI:\u00a0Roleless Rob alert! One time in the ancient past, you could have traded an entire fantasy team for Shelby Miller<\/a>. Me: \u201cI\u2019ll trade you Albert Pujols and Ubaldo Jimenez for Shelby Miller<\/a>.\u201d Them: \u201cHah! Throw in Mike Trout<\/a> and we\u2019ll start talking.\u201d Miller\u2019s 34 years old now and way past the prospect hype train, and he\u2019s settled into a role as a\u2026Roleless Rob. In the past two weeks, Miller\u2019s racked up an 11+ K\/9 rate while securing a Win, a Save, and 2 Holds. His ERA on the season? 0.00. Sure, but what about his FIP? 1.96. So even if he wasn\u2019t getting a bit lucky, he\u2019d still be stingy on runs. Miller\u2019s available everywhere, and might be an RCL darling if he keeps up this hot streak.<\/p>\n I\u2019m the Problem, It\u2019s Me<\/p>\n
