@EricCrossMLB Hey Eric, pleass do the NYY next..

New Top 10 Los Angeles Angels Prospects for #FantasyBaseball. * = 2026 Draftee 1. Tyler Bremner 2. Hayden Alvarez 3. Raudi Rodriguez 4. Joswa Lugo 5. Jared Grindlinger * 6. Nelson Rada 7. Gavin Grahovac * 8. Gabriel Davalillo 9. Johnny Slawinski 10. George Klassen #RepTheHalo

@GettheSave9th Drop T. Scott for G. Taylor, Pagan, Lange, Gomez, Wells or Killian?

New Closer Ranks!!! It's the unofficial half way point. What do you all think of the ranks below? We have had some surprises but the top three were pretty much expected. Lab Ranks (#)🧪 Tier 1 - The Studs (7/14) 1. Mason Miller (#1) 2. Jhoan Duran (#2) 3. Cade Smith (#5) Same old same old here with two of these guys picking up three saves this week. Tier 2 - Top of The Line (7/14) 4. Bryan Baker (#7) 5. Josh Hader (#3) 6. Raisel Iglesias (#12) 7. Aroldis Chapman (#13) 8. Louis Varland (#4) 9. Jacob Latz (#6) 10. David Bednar (#10) 11. Andrés Muñoz (#9) I moved Baker up. He has been growing in the role and looks like a monster in the 9th. Hader is Hader and Iglesias is starting a new save streak. Tier 3 The Mids (7/14) 12. Trevor Megill (#8) 13. Riley O'Brien (#16) 14. Paul Sewald (#15) 15. Pete Fairbanks (#18) The top of the mids is pretty much the same but the lower half has been dropped down to sick pups. Really outside of Fairbanks all three of these guys could be up a tier. Tier 4 The Single Sick Pups (7/14) 16. Emilio Pagán (#22) 17. Devin Williams (#14) 18. Alex Lange (#25) 19. Kenley Jansen (#20) 20. Tanner Scott (#11) 21. Kirby Yates (#27) 22. Yoendrys Gomez (#24) 23. Jacob Webb (#23) 24. Tyler Wells (#26) 25. Jordan Romano (#65) This is just a brutal group here. Pagán and Williams are bad but look at the rest of the group. Scott is down since he is getting replaced. I listed Gomez, Webb, Wells, and Romano here in stead of in two man groups or committees since I think they see 80% of the chances. What percent they convert is a much different story. Tier 5 Two Man Sick Pup Groups (7/14) 26. Grant Taylor (#17) 26a. Sean Newcomb (#44) 27. Gregory Soto (#21) 27a. Mason Montgomery (#54) This group is down since I went with a lot of guys as sick pups. Taylor is right there as the closer and the PIT job is up in the air but I think Soto has the upper hand. Tier 6 The Swamp (7/14) 28. Erik Miller (#97) 28a. Keaton Winn (N/A) 28b. Caleb Kilian (#19) 29. Clayton Beeter (#29) 29a. PJ Poulin (#73) 29b. Justin Lawrence (#117) 30. Elvis Alvarado (#33) 30a. Hogan Harris (#31) 30b. Mason Barnett (#45) Total chaos with these three. I think Kilian is out for the Giants so the other two are up next. The Nats get the 29 ranking since they can win and the A's are 30th since they cant.

@_MikeVA I won't unless I have a many bench spot. There are too many good pitchers and Kade Anderson starting for SEA is not a given. Even if they trade 1 SP, they still have a solid 5.

Would you drop Reid Detmers for Kade Anderson in a league with no N/A spots?

@_MikeVA Love these notes. Keep up the great work! I have Geloff on active roster(IL), Carrigg, Max Muncy(LAD) and Seymour. Hold or Drop/replace any for F. Valdez, C. Mead or Ewing. Also time to drop T. Scott - best replacement closer G. Taylor, Pagan or Killian? #AskMikeVA

#MikeVANotes📝 #FantasyBaseball Monday, July 13th What's up everyone? While we are at the ASB - I got some things to say! 👇🏻🧵A thread:

@RideThePineMLB Thank you

It’s hard to beat Max Muncy’s situation. He’s batting in the middle of the Dodgers’ order. Lots of RBI opportunities. I know he’s been in a bit of a slump but he still has some of the best plate discipline in the sport. I’d go: 1️⃣ Max Muncy 2️⃣ Curtis Mead 3️⃣ Kyle Karros 4️⃣ Royce Lewis Mead & Karros probably flip back-and-forth depending on who’s hot and who’s not.

@TheLab_FBB Thank you!

@HB_2000__ seymour is fine I just havent been able to predict him well so I thought I'd leave him off. Framber remains talented enough to be rostered in most places. Mead gets streaky. long term i like muncy still

@Andrew_FBB Thank you

@HB_2000__ They don't point to insane regression...him and Lewis are a toss up for me tbh. Mead and Muncy just have much better underlying metrics and lineup context

@Andrew_FBB Thank you. Yup LAD Muncy Karros production has been the best in past 30 days. Does the underline# does not support this?

@HB_2000__ Muncy (lad?) Mead Lewis Karros

@Andrew_FBB So drop Seymour for Framber Valdez.. Ty

@HB_2000__ I wouldn’t drop Framber

@MyNumbersGarden Ty for the indepth breakdown

@HB_2000__ That's tough. I'd probably go Muncy, Karros, Mead, Royce. Muncy's metrics actually look the best but it's close. The lineup supports production. Mead's data is great but I lean Karros because of PT and Coors. I like Lewis but never trust the ability to stay healthy.

@MyNumbersGarden In H2H points redraft - How would you rank these corner INF ROS (10T)- Karros, Mead, Muncy and R. Lewis? I have Karros & Muncy. Should I dare to drop Muncy for Mead? Go with 2 young 3B that are playing well last 30 plus days? Does the underline data support the tear they r on?

@HB_2000__ @Andrew_FBB Hernandez Statcast page does look good. Playing time is still inconsistent.

@RideThePineMLB Ty. That helps!!!! In H2H points redraft - How would you rank these corner INF ROS (10T)- Karros, Mead, Muncy and R. Lewis? I have Karros & Muncy. Should I dare to drop Muncy for Mead? Go with 2 young 3B that are playing well last 30 plus days?

@HB_2000__ Ewing the best irrespective to Carrigg’s playing time.

@Andrew_FBB Wow little surprise Hernandez or Carrigg or Ewing.. Hernandez underline# must be good Thanks Andrew! Hold Seymour or drop for F. Valdez

@HB_2000__ Hernandez Grab Taylor

@RideThePineMLB Thank you bro for the indepth information...appreciate it much. Is Carrigg being down the list contributed to playing time or you like Ewing the best irrespective of Carrigg playing time!!!

I really like Ewing. He has a power/speed combination and makes great swing decisions. Ramos has been on fire as of late but he’s a little streaky. I’m assuming these are for Saves… so I’ll go with Kilian. Solid underlying metrics (3.61 xERA, 3.74 xFIP, 28.1 K%). His issues have been the walks. He allows a lot of walks early in the inning, so they have a more likelihood of coming around to score. Grant Taylor has the best overall stuff out of the bunch, but the White Sox like using him in random situations. He’s opened games, been a bulk reliever, set-up man, and very occasionally a closer. If the White Sox came out and said he’s the closer, he would be the best option by far.

@Owen_FBB @TheLab_FBB @RideThePineMLB @NichoRoessler @wOBAWanKenobi Thanks Owen

@HB_2000__ @TheLab_FBB @RideThePineMLB @NichoRoessler @wOBAWanKenobi Ewing Fine dropping Scott for Killian if it’s SVs, I think you can stand pat in SVH

@TheLab_FBB @RideThePineMLB @NichoRoessler @wOBAWanKenobi @Owen_FBB Pick 1 - Carrigg, H. Ramos, H. Hernandez, L. Thomas, L. Robert or Ewing in h2h points, ros 10T? Also, drop/hold T. Scott(Diaz rerurning soon) and add Pagan, G. Taylor, Killian, Y. Gomez, Webb or Lange?
