    Segments 1 and 2 – Review the games of the day
    Additional Observations/Questions:
    1.I know Zac Gallen was once a pretty good pitcher, but last year was tough. After a few good starts at the beginning of the season, his ERA in May and June is 7.76, with 35 strikeouts in 51 innings. Why are people still holding on to him? His name?

    2.Elmer Rodriguez gets a spot start against the Tigers tomorrow with Cole’s start being pushed back. Are you going to start him if you have him? I’m assuming you will not be picking up?

    3.Jackson Holliday leaves Saturday’s game with a groin. I’m assuming you need to grab someone in case he hits the IL.

    a.Were we wrong on Holliday this season or has the hamate injury be at the root of his problem? .200/.286/.388 slash line with 4 home runs and 3 SB.

    4.Got a note from a Patreon member who was surprised at the power that Travis Bazzana is showing. I always thought he was a 15 home run guy and I’m sticking with that – 89.1 mph EV and 12 degrees of leverage is supportive of that – maybe he can grow into a bit more. Good speed and can really hit. I think he’s a very good player – high floor. 15-20 type of player with a .280+ BA and .350 OBP. BTW, the defensive metrics do not look very good with him.
    a.What say you?

    5. Manny Machado – 13 HR, 1 SB, .178 BA or Tatis Jr. – 2 HR, 18 SB, .282 BA. Who would you rather have for the ROS.

    6.Jordan Lawlar – I just don’t know what to say. It’s just not happening. He’s joining the Buxton/Acuna camp of not being able to stay healthy. Although they are great players, and Lawlar has never played enough to know.

  • 2239 - Drafting the 2027 First Round
    Jun 19 2026
    Take 10 with Tim – June 19, 2026

    Microsoft Teams:

    1.We are approaching the halfway mark of the season (45% completed), so let’s draft the first round of the 2027 Draft based on what we know today.

    1)Bobby Witt Jr. (Tim)
    2)Shohei Ohtani (Rich)
    3)Juan Soto (Tim)
    4)James Wood (Rich)
    5)Aaron Judge (Tim)
    6)Elly De La Cruz (Rich)
    7)Jacob Misiorowski (Tim)
    8)Pete Crow-Armstrong (Rich)
    9)Yordan Alvarez (Tim)
    10)Nick Kurtz (Rich)
    11)Jose Ramirez (Tim)
    12)O’Neil Cruz (Rich)
    13)Paul Skenes (Tim)
    14)Tarik Skubal (Rich)
    15)Corbin Carroll (Tim)
    16)Julio Rodriguez (Rich)

    2.Andrew Painter was optioned back to the minor leagues. The performance was pretty awful with a 7.20 ERA and only two more strikeouts than runs earned runs – Yikes.
    a.For Dynasty League managers, are you still all-in? He still has minor league eligibility in some leagues. Does that play a role in whether you cut him or not?

    3.It’s been a month since Dylan Crews returned. He’s hitting .189 with four home runs and two stolen bases. Remarkably, he’s walked twice in 100 plate appearances and is sporting a .230 OBP.
    a.We will look at his baseballsavant data as well.
    b.Similar to Painter, what do Dynasty League managers do and you still all-in or starting to lose confidence in him?

    4.There’s no timeline for Ronald Acuna returning to game action, except Walt Weiss saying – “he’s a long from returning”. Let’s look at his injury history.
    a.82 games played in 2021, 119 in 2022, 159 in 2023, 49 in 2024, and 95 in 2025. That’s 64 games a year or 40% of the games – in 5 years. Why are people still taking this guy in the first round? I get the potential, but this run makes Byron Buxton look Ripken-esque. What am I missing?

    5.Shane Bieber looks ready to go, although his fastball only averaged 91.8 (T 93). He’s never thrown hard, but he’s also soon to be 32. Are you starting him immediately after his activated from the IL?

    6.The Mariners are supposedly going to a piggyback scenario. If I have it right, they will take their six starters and stick to a five man rotation, but players will take turns starting innings (1 – 4) and (5 – 8). I guess, sometimes the starter will go 5, but who knows. If you have Mariners’ pitchers, what do you do?
    a.Two of the best pitchers in the minor leagues are Ryan Sloan and Kade Anderson. Both are shoving it in Double-A and look nearly ready. How on earth do they get a shot?

    7.What hitter are you targeting for this weekend’s FAAB?
    a.Cooper Pratt

    8.What pitcher are you targeting for this weekend’s FAAB?
    a.Shane Drohan
