Ray Flowers, a man of the people if there ever was such a thing, took a bunch of the better questions that he received of late, compiled them, and answered them in this podcast.

What are your favorite baseball stadiums to visit? Do you have a bucket list? Ray Flowers lists his favorite parks that he’s been to, as well as the one that he needs to visit that he has not been able to make it to yet. Unfortunately, with Covid-19 going on, I don’t have access to the pictures and tickets that…
For years, he was a nobody. Last year, he was more than a somebody. Christian Vazquez was actually a Rockstar in the fantasy game, catapulting his owners into the winner’s circle in some leagues. What will he do for an encore? 29 years old Bats/Throws: Right/Right Height/Weight: 5’9”, 200 lbs. Position: Catcher THE NUMBERS *Stats Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

A look at the player profile series. Ray touches on the men he has recently broken down on the hill including McHugh, Wood, Manaea & S. Gray. On offense, he will talk about Odor, Anderson, W. Calhoun, Pederson, Hernandez, Amed & Diaz. Ray then shifts to a strategy question – will doing a draft filled Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

Ray Flowers is always running polls, but this time, instead of writing about them, he chose to talk about them.

For the first time in well over a month, we have mass market activity and a hefty data set we can rely upon. The NFBC set a deadline for the completion of online championship (OC) drafts, and the fantasy managers came out in droves to draft. Moreover, there has been plenty of “news” for us Read More!

In a previous column, I checked in on how the theory of Last Year’s Bums worked out last season. Now it’s time to move to the current campaign. Of course, we don’t have any idea if these players are going to rebound after their poor 2019 efforts, but I’ll give some thoughts on whether or Read More!

The last time we saw Collin McHugh on the field, he was a reliever for the Astros. The next time he throws a real pitch he will likely be in the starting rotation for the Red Sox, we think, after the club signed him to a mere $600,000 contract in early March. What can we Read More!

For years now, I’ve kinda been a mark for a lefty by the name of Alex Wood. He’s never really put up big innings, and last year was a total mess, but a move back to the Dodgers brings out my interest yet again. Is it warranted? 29 years old Bats/Throws: Right/Left Height/Weight: 6’4”, 215 Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

MLB Mailbag Ray Flowers takes your questions in this edition of the podcast. Should you be running FAAB in your leagues right now?

Last Year’s Bum (LYB) is a thing some look at in the fantasy game. The theory goes like this. A player is expected to do well and the cost is high on draft day. The player goes out and lays an egg, and people move on the following season. The next season, that player ends Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

We’ve come a long way since the days when folks doubted the dedication of Sean Manaea. Now we are to the point where we are wondering if he can be a front-end starter in the fantasy game. 28 years old Bats/Throws: Right/Left Height/Weight: 6’5”, 245 lbs.

Were someone to run a poll on what the most popular or favorite 5×5 roto category is, my assumption is that stolen bases would come in second behind home runs. It’s a category that is always on the forefront of our minds when we’re drafting and when adding players off the wire. Granted, there is Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

When he began his career as an Athletic, Sonny Gray was really good. He had a hiccup in 2016, rebounded somewhat in 2017, but then fell down a rabbit hole in 2018 while with the Yankees. Last season, his first with the Reds, he returned to his Athletics’ form. Can he replicate his effort last Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

For years fantasy managers, and for that matter his own team, have seemingly marginalized or even written off Rougned Odor. Yet, despite legit concerns about his offensive game, the second sacker remains incredibly productive… if you can ignore his batting average and on-base percentages. 26 years old Bats/Throws: Left/Right Height/Weight: 5’11”, 195 lbs.

He has a boring name – Brian Anderson. He plays for a boring team – the Marlins. He has produced moderate fantasy numbers to date. So why are we writing about him? Will it be a waste of time?

Potential Sleepers? Ray Flowers hates the word sleeper, but he’s knows it will get your attention so we will use it here.

A bit different type of analysis this week. Since NFBC drafts have ramped up in the month of April, I decided to go back to analyzing the $350-entry, 12-team Online Champions (OC). This gives us a more relevant segment of the player pool – namely, those drafted among the top-360 overall. The “new” data is Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

Here is my list of my all-time Favorite MLB players. Some of the guys are stars. Some of them maybe even all-time greats. There’s a guy on the list that you certainly forgot ever existed (it’s a lock). I’m barely a homer too, there is only one SF Giant makes the list, and it will be pretty clear how…
Willie Calhoun has long been expected to be a strong run producer at the Major League level. That said, he has had an interesting ride to the big leagues. He’s pretty much always hit well enough in the minors, but there have been questions about his defense, his conditioning and his attitude. He’s also dealt Read More!

At one point in time, the Dodgers’ Joc Pederson was a top-20 prospect in all of baseball. For real. Hell, at one point he actually went 30/30 (check out his 2014 effort at Triple-A). That guy has never shown up on a big-league diamond, but there has been some success. At the same time, I’m Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

The Top 50 Catchers It’s fitting that Ray’s look around the diamond concludes with the catcher’s spot, i.e. the black hole of offense in the fantasy game. It will be a struggle for Ray to say much in terms of praise as he digs deeply into the position, but he’s gonna still give it a Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.
