First impression from one AB on TV …. Dang, Konnor Griffin looks the part.

It is GLARF draft o'clock and you know we have all the essentials including the foundational @baseballhq.com Forecaster 🔥

Kirby, esp with those categories that reward excellent control

@mlbbowman · 2m Spencer Schwellenbach underwent surgery to remove loose bodies today. Hurston Waldrep will undergo a similar procedure on Monday. The Braves aren’t providing a timeline. Weiss said he hopes both will be able to pitch again this year

"hopes both will be able to pitch again this year" is not the most optimistic wording I've ever heard

What makes a top 25 starting pitcher? Do Nolan McLean or Nick Pivetta have a case? What did the top 25 starting pitchers in 2025 have in common? Who could sneak into the top 25 in 2026?

What does it take to be a top 25 starting pitcher in fantasy baseball, and who are the best bets to finish as one this year? I gave a presentation on this at First Pitch Arizona and then turned it into an article @rotoworld-bb.bsky.social www.nbcsports.com/fantasy/base...

Sigh.

Been doing that a lot the past week.
