I'm going to *try* and take notes on Statcast stuff each day. If I do, I'll post it here. Here's what I have for Monday, March 2:

Gut reaction: I moved Corbin Carroll down the 16th overall, just behind Gunnar Henderson and Jackson Chourio. I moved Francisco Lindor down to 27th overall, just behind Kyle Schwarber and Zach Neto.

Do you HAVE to keep six? If so I would say the Bradish, Luzardo, Woo, Hoerner, Keaschall and Sheehan

Big thanks to @swingsandtakes.com for hopping on FBT to do our 2026 Mariners preview! We did record it before the Brendan Donovan trade but don't think that fundamentally changed anything we talked about. Josh Naylor's steals, Kirby's health and more!

Here are 10 names I'm pretty excited about that I expect to take another step forward this season, and maybe even be league winners. The last two are for my deep-leaguers out there.

Frank Stampfl highlights top 2026 Fantasy Baseball sleepers Frank Stampfl highlights top sleepers and undervalued targets for 2026 Fantasy Baseball.

SLEEPERS 1.0 😴

Here's my first round of sleepers for the 2026 Fantasy Baseball season. I wound up writing about at least one name at each position with some bonus deeper names at outfield and starting pitcher!

thanks! it is entirely possible an extra year removed from surgery is big for strider. If he shows up with better stuff this spring, I'll have to take him off this list.

maybe, statcast stuff looks great but it was a very small sample

Just looked into the Kauffman Stadium changes. I think all of their hitters will gain at least a little value. The ones who should gain the most are those who pull the ball in the air. Four names with a pulled air rate over 20%:

Vinnie P
Salvy
Jensen
Collins

Updated look at what's changing:

What this does is take one more spot away from Jordan Lawlar this season. I'm not closing the book on his potential but it really feels like the Dbacks are out on him based on everything we've seen to this point. I'm happy to be wrong if he impresses this spring and earns a spot.

Nolan Arenado to the Dbacks seems like a slight uptick for his value. Chase Field is a little better for RHB than Busch Stadium. Not sure he would have gained more homers based on last year's batted ball data (2025 spray chart overlayed with Chase Field pictured below)

thanks yooo, turns out drafting Jamarr Chase and Puka together was smart!

Pirates should also sign Okamoto and give Konnor Griffin a fair shot to win their shortstop job. Potential Opening Day lineup:

Konnor Griffin
Brandon Lowe
Bryan Reynolds
Ryan O’Hearn
Kazuma Okamoto
O’Neil Cruz
Spencer Horwitz
Joey Bart
Jake Mangum

Go Pirates Go! πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ

Thanks yea, Harper is probably a lock to miss 20-30 games but felt like a fair value in the fifth

Completed my second NFBC Gladiator (15 team roto, draft your starting roster and thats it) from the 5th pick. Betting on some injury bounce backs. No, closers don’t usually go this high but that’s the asking price in this format. PS I like Maikel Garcia and Pepiot a lot for 2026!

I think there are legit 10 different pitcher you can put at SP4. I just really like the skills we saw from Yoshi and think the Dodgers could use him even more like a workhorse on a per start basis (like they did in the postseason)

I have him just outside Top-20, but there's a definitely an argument for him to be inside if you think he'll get enough innings

Working on my 2026 rankings and here's my first go at the Top-20 SP (Cole Ragans is the hardest SP for me to rank so far)
