Fantasy Baseball Live – October 19, 2025 @ 3 pm ET
Segment 1: ALCS and NLCS Games
Segment 2: Fantasy Questions of the NL Central
Chicago Cubs
1.Matt Shaw played ok, but honestly, did he live up to the hype – he hit .226 with a .295 OBP, 13 home runs, 17 stolen bases.
a.What’s his stat line in 2026 – HR, SB, BA, OBP
i.Tim’s response - .240 BA, 17 HR, 24 SB
2.Michael Busch was great in 2025 with 34 home runs and a .261 batting average, .343 OBP. However, he hit .207 vs. left-handed pitches and only 4 of his 34 home runs. Are you worried that he’ll fall into a platoon roll? Does it matter?
a.Tim’s response. Doesn’t matter. He’s a Top 10 first baseman
3.Cade Horton was one of the leagues breakout rookie pitchers, posting a 2.67 ERA but only striking out less than 7.5 per nine.
a.How should I think about him for next season. A number _________ pitcher
i.Tim: Three starter with upside
4.Danie Palcencia had 22 saves in 2025. Do you consider him a top 10 closer?
a.Tim: No, still likes Porter Hodge
5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors) – Tim’s response below
a.Moises Ballesteros - Light #1 or strong #2 catcher
b.Jaxson Wiggins – Draft and Hold Leagues
Cincinnati Reds
1.In the first half, Elly De La Cruz hit 18 home runs, stole 25 bases and hit .284. In the second half, with fewer at-bats, he hit 4 home runs, stole 12 bases and hit .236. How worried are you coming into drafts this season?
a.Tim’s response – Not overly – should get 20 home runs and as many stolen bases as he wants. There could be 20-23 upside.
2.Gavin Lux hit five home runs, stole one base. He did hit .269 with a .350 OBP. He’s a fantasy dud, right?
a.If so, then there are two duds on that squad. Ke Bryan Hayes and Lux. Not a good feeling going into the season, no?
i.Tim’s response - Lux is a dud! It’s not a good feeling with Hayes.
3.Where did the stolen bases go for Spencer Steer? He had 25 in 2024 and 7 last year. Baseballsavant shows his sprint speed at 66th, down for 73 in 2024
a.Will the speed return in 2026?
i.Tim’s response – 11 stolen bases. Kind of.
4.Stat line for Chase Burns – Wins, ERA, Ks
a.Tim’s response – 90’s IP, 6 wins, 3.90, 110K
5.Is Tony Santillian really the closer for the Reds? Are you trusting him?
a.Tim’s response - Yes, he likes the setup. Doesn’t think they will resign Emilio Pagan
6.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors) – Tim’s response
a.Noelvi Marte – if he can control the strikezone better, Tim likes him a lot
b.Andrew Abbott – Probably will fall and he might be target
Milwaukee Brewers
1.Jackson Chourio stat line for 2026 – HR, SB, and BA
a.He’s a ____________ round pick?
i.27 HR, 21 SB, .270 BA
ii.Late first, early second
2.Andrew Vaughn showed flashes in 2025, hitting 14 home runs in 112 games. He hits lefties better than righties though - .313 vs. .230 but has power against both.
a.How should I think of Vaughn at the draft table? A bit of a sleeper or a sucker pick?
i.Tim’s response – Is bullish. Hit 20 home runs, drive in 70.
3.William Contreras over/under – 25 home runs.
a.Tim’s response – just under
4.Jacob Misiorowski stat line for 2026
a.Games started, Wins, ERA, K
i.Tim’s response – 120 IP, 12 wins, 3.65, 145 K
5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors) – Tim’s response is below
a.Abner Urbie – Tim wants him in all his league.
b.Logan Henderson – If healthy, could be somebody – In Draft and Holds, after round 40
c.Caleb Durbin
