Fantasy Baseball Live – October 19, 2025 @ 3 pm ET
Microsoft Teams:
Segment 1: World Series discussion
1.Let’s discuss the first two games
a.How does this end?
2.Some prompting questions
a.One of the breakout players in the playoffs has been Trey Yesavage. After another solid performance in the playoffs, he’s posted a 3.21 ERA in three starts (one win). This after an impressive MLB debut and an even more impressive quick rise through the minor leagues.
i.Where do you think he’ll be drafted in leagues this season? Will it be too high for you?
ii.Give me a stat line – IP, wins, ERA, Ks
b.Emmet Sheehan took it on the chin on Friday night. Thoughts about his value going into drafts.
i.Does he get enough innings to be viable pitcher in deeper mixed leagues?
c.Bo Bichette is clearly not 100% but had a bounce back season in his walk year, hitting .311 with 18 home runs. Is he back or was this just your great walk year season and he gets overdrafted in 2026?
d.Andy Pages has struggled in the playoffs and was ok, but not as good as he was in the first half. He also has some weird home and away splits - .325/.369/.594 vs. .221/.257/.336 (19 HR vs. 8 HR).
i.How should I think of him at the draft table?
e.We are seeing the slowdown of Freddie Freeman, after all he’s 36. There’s still good pop (70% exit velo – 90.9 MPH), similar launch but the speed has completely gone – 10% sprint speed. Even his contact skill have diminished. In 2025, he struck out 20.5% of the time.
i.Give me his stat line for 2026 – HR, SB, and BA
ii.He was the third first baseman off the board in 2025. Where does he go in 2026?
iii.Will you be investing?
Segment 2: Fantasy Questions of the NL Central
Pittsburgh Pirates
1.When I take a look at the Pirates lineup, it’s not very intimidating. Give me two moves the Pirates need to make offensively to better compete.
2.Konnor Griffin timeline for the callup?
a.When I look at the Pirates
b.If before September, is he somebody you would try to draft. In what round would it be too expensive
3.Bubba Chandler
a.Stat line for 2026 – IP, wins, ERA, Ks –
i.Tim Says: 135 IP, 6 wins, 3.75, 145Ks
4.Dennis Santana was pretty good last season with 16 saves and a 2.18 ERA.
a.How do you few him – as a top _____________ closer.
i.Tim says: Top 20 to 23
5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)
a.Termarr Johnson
b.Jared Jones
c.Isaac Mattson
St. Louis Cardinals
1.When do the Cardinals call up JJ Wetherholt and where does he play (2B, 3B, SS, etc.)
a.Stat line for 2026 – AB, HR, SB, BA
i.Tim says: 250 AB
2.Alec Burleson followed up a 21 home run season, with 19 in a few less games. He made excellent contact as well.
a.Is this who he is a 20 home run, .270ish type of player with a handful of stolen bases are is there more in the tank?
3.Not that RosterResource knows everything, but Jordan Walker is listed as a bench bat. Do you think this is true? If so, should fantasy managers avoid. What about Dynasty League owners that are still holding out hope?
4.Who is the closer in St. Louis?
a.Riley O’Brien
5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)
a.Joshua Baez
