Just drafted Vierling as my OF9 at pick 583. It would only take an injury or two for him to step into a full-time role.

With the snow falling outside, this couldn’t have come at a better time. @baseballhq.com

Notable Bat X vs OOPSY HR differences: • Cedric Mullins: Bat X 18 (475 PA) | OOPSY 11 HR (483 PA) • Matt Olson: Bat X 27 HR (686 PA) | OOPSY 33 HR (686 PA) • Samuel Basallo: Bat X 14 HR (443 PA) | OOPSY 20 HR (445 PA)

One of the biggest HR projection gaps I’ve seen between Bat X and OOPSY is Cedric Mullins. PA are basically identical:
• Bat X: 475 PA
• OOPSY: 483 PA But HRs?
• Bat X: 18
• OOPSY: 11 Same playing time, very different view of the power.

First Gladiator of the Year

I’m not worried about the Dodgers having a six-man rotation. No way that staff stays healthy enough for it to last.

I’m taking full advantage of being in California for Thanksgiving by signing up for all of my NFBC drafts.

Colt Keith is a fine target at his current 312.90 ADP. In 468 PA last year, he was better than most people think (especially Tigers fans). - 2B/3B eligible - 79.40 Contact % - 9.20 Barrel % - 10.30 BB % - .260 xBA - . 339 xWOBA - 109 wRC+ - Sprint Speed 66th percentile

Matt Vierling struggled to stay healthy last year and when he did play, he wasn’t good (76wRC+). But with that said, I am somewhat encouraged by these numbers. (100 PA) 84.60 Contact % 12.10 Barrel % 7 BB %

Most recent update on whether or not Kevin McGonigle will be on the Detroit Tigers Opening Day roster.

Interesting Comparison Fernando Tatis Jr. - Contact%: 75.00 Barrel%: 10.90 K%: 18.70 BB%: 12.90 Sprint Speed: 83rd percentile ADP: 15.67* Wyatt Langford - Contact%: 75.80 Barrel%: 14.00 K%: 26.40 BB%: 12.90 Sprint Speed: 88th percentile ADP: 50.00* * NFBC Draft Champions Leagues (18)

So far it looks like Tarik Skubal will line up against Michigan native, Hunter Brown, in Detroit on Tuesday. Simply, a must see game.

Christmas came early folks

Tickets booked for #FPAZ!

My brain cannot differentiate between Slade Cecconi and Cade Cavalli. So for the foreseeable future they are the same one person.

I try my best to not miss a Hunter Brown start these days. By far my most favorite pitcher in the league not named Tarik Skubal.

I really didn’t think Hunter Brown would come out for the 7th inning.

At this point, Lucas Giolito doesn’t even have one decent pitch. I wonder for how much longer the Red Sox are going to run him out there. 4-seamer: .299 xBA Changeup: .280 xBA Slider: .384 xBA Curveball: .399 xBA

Never thought I would read this headline

It’s crazy the Tigers and White Sox game is even going on. Chicago has some of the worst air quality in the world right now.

In my daily league, I debated whether or not to start Taylor Ward this afternoon. I almost benched him until I saw he had two career home runs off Giolito. I rarely look at batter vs pitcher stats but today it worked out.

I will only start Luis Severino on the road I will only start Luis Severino on the road I will only start Luis Severino on the road I will only start Luis Severino on the road I will only start Luis Severino on the road

Incredible way to start the game

It took one pitch from the bullpen for Luis Severino to lose his win.

Every time the projections tell me to bench Kyle Stowers for the week

Tarik Skubal. 13 strikeouts. Complete game. Shutout.

Or, in other words, Dingler can actually hit so he will play as much as possible.

Matt Vierling has been called on to pinch hit for his first AB of the year.

I see this as a Jake Burger like situation where Vaughn’s being sent down to get his head back on straight. Underlying numbers aren’t horrible. Still barreling the bal 13.3% of the time (when he makes contact). His 22.3% strikeout rate is just 1% higher than last year. .258 xBA.

With Around the Horn Ending today, I will probably never know what a sports journalist or reporter looks like ever again.

So far my money was well spent on Taylor Ward. Another huge day at the dish.

In order for my GLARF team to have a chance, I need George Kirby to be George Kirby.

If I could pick one player to be good in baseball, it would be Ke'Bryan Hayes.

So a couple of people have reached out and asked so I just wanted to let everyone know I stepped away from the Triple Play Fantasy Baseball podcast. What started out as a fun project with some really smart acquaintances turned into a show with some of my best friends.

TGFBI FAAB: I knew I would have to pay up after the week Taylor Ward had. Also happy with Severino for ROS.

There we go. Kyle Gibson was designated for assignment.

No pitcher throws the ball harder to first base than Luis Severino.

The $8 I paid for Will Benson this week in TGFBI was money well spent.

If the Baltimore Orioles are actually serious about winning, this will be Kyle Gibson’s last start of the year.

Oneil Cruz just pinched hit. Good sign to see him out there. Hopefully he will return to the lineup tomorrow.

Shane Smith is getting a raw deal this inning. He induced two ground balls which would have ended the inning but the White Sox are White Soxing. At minimal, the second run should be unearned.

Jacob deGrom just threw a 99-mph fastball.

Classic pitchers duel tonight between Detroit’s own Hunter Brown and Jacob deGrom.

Have you ever noticed it’s always the same type of person who wants Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame?

In 140 AB, Kyle Stowers is barreling the ball 21% of the time.

After being swept to start the season, the Detroit Tigers now have a better record than the LA Dodgers and the rest of MLB.
