Mariners
• Dominic Canzone will be part of the right field rotation.
Prior to the game, manager Dan Wilson noted that Canzone would be “in the mix” for at-bats as part of a right field rotation moving forward.

The chart includes their performance for 2025, their opponent’s wOBA rank versus the pitcher’s handedness from this year so far, my general start/sit recommendation for 10-team, 12-team, and 15-team (or more) leagues, and then a note about them. Obviously, there are league sizes beyond those three so it’s essentially a shallow, medium, deep. If a pitcher only has an “x” in 15-team, it doesn’t mean there’s no potential use in 10s and 12s, but it’s a much riskier stream for those spots.
These are general recommendations, and your league situation will carry more weight whether you are protecting ratios or chasing counting numbers. This is for standard 5×5 roto leagues. The thresholds for H2H starts are generally lower, especially in points leagues so I thought there would be more valuable focusing on roto.

Ended a little early because I have an appointment to get to, but thanks for coming out and the transcript is now available! Also, I’m working on a new SP ranking and the goal is to get that out ahead of next week’s chat and then we can go an hour-plus discussing it on Wednesday the 18th!
| 1:02 |
: Hey y’all, thanks for coming out. Slightly shorter chat today (~40 mins) as I have an appt. I need to get to so let’s roll!! |
| 1:02 |
: In Ottoneu H2H, you dropping Logan Allen로건 for Yarborough? |
| 1:02 |
: Ya I’m good w/that |
| 1:04 |
: Standard H2H league. Good on HRs, middle of the pack on R, RBIs, SB, and last in AVG. Can pick up J. Lowe or CES. What’s your preference? |
| 1:05 |
: Royce or CES in a standard league? |
| 1:08 |
: Interesting debates here w/CES. I think I lean against him in both cases, though, preferring Lowe and Royce. Lowe bc Adenolith is good in CES’s best category and Lowe can be more of a multi-cat piece when he’s rolling and I just think Royce is do for some strong regression back to the mean. Plate skills are excellent, power metrics are in line w/history, and so that leads me to believe the .213 BABIP is the major culprit here. As that regresses toward his career .281 mark (or better), stats will come flowing in — IF he stays healthy, of course |
There are all kinds of reasons big leaguers get demoted to the minor leagues: roster crunches, injury rehab, and, of course, poor performance. Even for a weekly internet blogging fantasy baseball player, all these transactions are difficult to follow. Yet, many expert fantasy players follow them like a hawk follows a mouse running in an open field, and it gives them an edge. If there were a tool that could detect demotions, great performance during the demotion, and improved performance at the major league-level, we’d all have more time to do what we really care about: watch more baseball!
Here are the latest significant changes in projected position player playing time, highlighted by Kyle Teel getting the call to the majors.

I’ve made some edits after changes on Wednesday morning. I didn’t remake the board, so that’s why Woo & Ray are 3-x guys listed out of order.

Getting this one done from the airport… I’ll be home later this morning so the SP Chart should be back to normal the rest of the week!
