⚾ My Latest on @RotoBaller⚾ Top 25 Prospects to Stash in Redraft Leagues, Week 2 - A new look Payton Tolle in Triple-A - James Tibbs is demolishing the PCL - Culpepper and Antonacci close? #FantasyBaseball rotoballer.com/top-25-fantasy…

@conor_greene @BunnyHardaway @mailboxlampwhat Apparently lol

@BunnyHardaway @mailboxlampwhat @EricCrossMLB Is this cause he doesn’t like the jersey?

Ryan Waldschmidt went 4/5 and finished a double shy of the cycle yesterday. Season (58 PA) .298/.431/.532 7 XBH, HR, SB 17.2% BB, 29.3% K Waldschmidt is inside my Top-30 overall and should be up fairly soon. #Dbacks

Maikel Garcia's savant page looks awfully pretty right now... #FountainsUp

⚾ New Cross Examination ⚾ In today's #FantasyBaseball/Prospect notes, I discussed 1️⃣6️⃣ players, including: - Antonacci and Schultz #WhiteSox - Francisco Alvarez #LGM - Luis Lara #ThisIsMyCrew patreon.com/posts/cross-ap…

Oneil Cruz is now on a 10-game hitting streak after going 4/5 with 3 SB yesterday. April: 41 PA, .378/.439/.6223 2B, 2 HR, 5 SB, 19.5% K #LetsGoBucs

MLB SwStr% Leaders Through 4/11, Qualified Pitchers Two #BlueJays50 leading the way.

@MagicOriole Yeah, he was an odd one to see in the middle of Cruz and Cags

@EricCrossMLB Nothing new there. But I see you Nick Yorke lol

Oneil Cruz had three of the four hardest hit balls in the Majors on Saturday... #LetsGoBucs

The #WhiteSox are calling up both Noah Schultz and Sam Antonacci! Schultz has rebounded this season and once again looks like one of the best LHP prospects in the game. Antonacci had a .509 OBP, 2 HR, & 4 SB in 12 games this season. Both are good targets in 12+ team leagues.

Kade Anderson through his first two professional starts... 9 IP, 5 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 17 K Anderson is one of the frontrunners, along with Seth Hernandez and Ryan Sloan, to be the #1 pitching prospect in baseball by mid season. #TridentsUp

Mason Miller has a 79.2% strikeout rate this season. No big deal. Totally normal.

@P1NToh Not crazy at all

@EricCrossMLB Am I crazy to offer Briceno or Luis Peña straight up for Hernandez in a dynasty league? Scoring gives slight bump in value to hitters, but I am flush with hitting prospects (griffin, de vries, madé, Walcott, Florentino…)

Seth Hernandez DOMINATED tonight. 4 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, BB, 7 K 14 Whiffs It's a matter of when, not if, Hernandez will take over as the #1 pitching prospect in the game #LetsGoBucs

@DFour34 Not long at all

@EricCrossMLB How long would you say it takes him to move up the ranks?

@TracyFay2012 Doubt it. I'd say A/A+ this year. Opens 2027 in AA

@EricCrossMLB Obviously, the Pirates are taking it easy on him early. How many levels will he move this year? AA a possibility?

@musentango No idea. He just had an off day. And there's a bad RHP on the mound. This is 100% the day when you do play him.

@EricCrossMLB What exactly is the correlation here? Anthony is just having a day off presumably?

Dustin May, a subpar RHP, is on the mound and we have Roman Anthony on the bench? Unless there's some sort of injury or something like that, this is infuriating.

@Bubby0304 @Jyphx All good. Take care.

@EricCrossMLB @Jyphx Also want to clarify, I am sorry if I came across strong or rude. Don't mean to be that way.

Drake Baldwin is off to a phenomenal start to the 2026 season. 59 PA .321/.390/.623 12 Runs (Tied for MLB Lead) 5 HR (Tied for MLB Lead) 15 RBI (Leads MLB) It's a loaded position at the top, but Baldwin is putting himself in the C1 discussion for fantasy. #BravesCountry

@Bubby0304 @Jyphx My only gripe, and why I responded initially, was you saying the metrics were miserable, which just isn't accurate whatsoever. I'm not gonna debate his defensive abilities or anything like that.

@EricCrossMLB @Jyphx and even from that perspective, he was not NEARLY the hitter people claimed. Thats all im saying. Not a terrible bat on the whole, but people touting him as a top 6 fantasy catcher is ridiculous

A 2 at most. Never thought he'd replicate the 2025 AVG, but he'll be fine.

@Bubby0304 @Jyphx You're now going to projections? I'm pointing out facts of what he actually did last season, which cartainly wasn't miserable. You're the only one on the planet who would look at Ramirez's metrics from last season and call them miserable.

@EricCrossMLB @Jyphx His projections when pooled show a 2% better than league average hitter, which is great from anyone but especially catcher. But when you see The Bat, and ATC are both projecitng below league average wRC+ that doesnt fit well with what you are saying. Also, grow a spine dude
