2026 Prospect Draft

Monday, May 5, 2025

Weekly Newletter, May 5

Well folks, Joe Buck here, ready to break down the action from the Field of Dreams fantasy baseball league. It's been a wild ride, and some teams are clearly riding high while others…well, let’s just say they're hoping for a miracle.

Let's start with the Snowmobiling Maniacs. At 96.5 fantasy points, they're really showing some serious speed on the ice, I mean, the field. Their power numbers – runs, homers, and RBIs – are a sight to behold. But they need to hit the brakes (or maybe find some better pitchers) because their Wins Plus Quality Starts is a bit of a bumpy ride.

Next up, Screw the Yankees. With 91.5 points, they're putting up a solid fight. Their pitching staff is a real force, excelling in strikeouts, saves, ERA, and WHIP. However, their on-base percentage is a bit of a strikeout, and they, too, need some pitching improvements in Wins Plus Quality Starts.

The Village Idiots, racking up 89 points, are proving that sometimes, being an idiot pays off. Their pitching stats – strikeouts, saves, ERA, and WHIP – are looking strong. But their power numbers, particularly home runs and RBIs, need a serious injection of common sense, or, you know, some more runs. And Wins Plus Quality Starts is, sadly, more of a village idiot performance.

Kirby your enthusiasm sits at 79 points. The team's home run numbers and pitching look quite impressive. But much like Kirby's enthusiasm, their on-base percentage and Wins Plus Quality Starts need a boost. Perhaps they need to find more enthusiasm on the field!

The Purple Shirts, with 73.5 points, are certainly making a statement in runs scored and home runs. Their on-base percentage is nothing to scoff at, but they need a little extra help in RBIs, stolen bases, saves, and Wins Plus Quality Starts. They may have the right color for the team, but their performance is a bit lackluster.

Truth is a Person, clocking in at 70 points. This team is doing well with runs scored and stolen bases and has some solid saves, but needs more strikeouts. In the words of the team name, the truth might be that they need to improve in Wins Plus Quality Starts.

Wally's Monstahs, at a slightly disappointing 59.5 points, have a surprisingly strong on-base percentage. But the rest of their game needs a serious monster upgrade, especially in home runs and pitching categories.

The Listol Brollygaggers, 58.5 points, are really struggling across the board, needing some significant improvements across the board in pitching and strikeouts. Their name says it all – this team is a bit of a brollygag.

Cuban Cigars have smoked themselves into a tough spot with 52.5 points. Their on-base percentage is a highlight, but the rest is… well, let's just say it needs some serious relighting. Their pitching is a major area for improvement.

The Georgia Peaches, at 51 points, are showing some potential with their RBIs, but unfortunately, every other category needs some serious ripening.

Murphys Law?, scoring only 41 points, highlights the unfortunate nature of the game. Across the board, this team faces a monumental task to turn their luck around.

And finally, Ant Man, at a minuscule 18 points, is smaller than ever imagined. They need a serious improvement across the board. They are way behind in scoring, and pitching is equally rough.

In conclusion, folks, some teams are showing some serious power while others need a serious wake-up call. It’s been a wild ride, and we’ll see how it all plays out. Remember, it’s just a game, unless you’re in a money league - in that case, call me!

Weekly Newsletter, April 28

Well hello there, folks! Bob Uecker here, your friendly neighborhood baseball announcer, bringing you the lowdown on the Field of Dreams Fantasy Baseball League. It’s been a wild ride so far, a real rollercoaster, and I’m here to give you the play-by-play, or should I say, the stat-by-stat!

The Snowmobiling Maniacs are, well, maniacal in their offensive output! They're really zooming to the top with strong performances across the board, particularly in the run-scoring categories. However, their pitching, specifically their Wins Plus Quality Starts, needs a little more oomph. Those Maniacs need to get their engines revving on the mound! They’ve amassed 106.5 fantasy points, showcasing their offensive power despite some pitching woes. With 33 roster moves, they've been busy tinkering but clearly have a winning formula going in their offensive department!

The Village Idiots might be idiots on the field but their savvy management in fantasy baseball shows differently. Their pitching is their calling card, and they're looking pretty good in the stolen base department, which makes sense - that's a lot of speed on the basepaths! But they need to get those RBIs up and polish up those pitching wins if they want to win the whole darn thing. 97.5 fantasy points and 33 roster moves demonstrate that they've mastered both the pitching and running game.

Kirby Your Enthusiasm, a team with a name as wacky as its performance! They are putting up solid numbers in home runs and RBIs, showing some serious pop, but their on-base percentage needs some work. Those are some pretty great home runs, but you need more consistency. They’re currently sitting at 76.5 points and they’ve made 49 roster moves, which seems like a lot.

Screw the Yankees, a name that tells it all. Their forte? Saves Plus Holds. Clearly, the bullpen is on fire. But in the realm of fantasy baseball, a bullpen alone cannot win a championship. They need to bolster their other categories–their runs scored are definitely lagging behind. This team's 68.5 fantasy points and 46 roster moves tell a story of a team that's trying hard but lacking cohesion.

The Listol Brollygaggers – if you can say that five times fast, you get extra credit. Their runs scored are a delightful sight to behold, but they're really struggling in pitching categories, which is a disaster! They have 67 points and 30 roster moves, which is the least amount of roster moves in the league.

The Purple Shirts – a team that's striking out the competition, for sure! That’s good. They're showing some real power in strikeouts, but need a huge boost in RBIs and their pitching staff seems questionable. With 66.5 points and 42 roster moves, they’re making a real effort to find a winning formula.

Truth is a Person – a team that needs to find their truth in the run production department. Those stolen bases are exciting, and their saves plus holds are decent, showing some prowess in the bullpen, but their strikeouts and home runs really drag them down. They managed to hit 66.5 fantasy points and 37 roster moves.

Wally's Monstahs – a team that needs to hit some home runs! Their on-base percentage is the only thing keeping them afloat but if you can't score runs, you can't win. They're a team that needs to find some serious power. 64 fantasy points and 27 roster moves suggest a more conservative approach.

Georgia Peaches – a team that seems to only be succeeding in the Runs Batted In and WHIP categories, everything else is rather poor. These peaches need some more juice – much more juice in other categories! 59.5 fantasy points and 39 roster moves signify a significant struggle this season.

Cuban Cigars are in a bit of a predicament, with several categories that would make even a seasoned cigar smoker cough. They have many weak categories; it seems like they'll need a miracle to turn things around. 54 points and 46 roster moves highlight a desperate need for improvement.

Murphys Law? Well, it looks like Murphy's Law has struck this team. Their weakness across the board is concerning. They only managed to score 29.5 fantasy points. 38 roster moves suggest they are actively trying to fix the issue but to no avail.

Ant Man, this team is truly small, with its fantasy points barely registering on the scoreboard. The tiny team sits at 24 fantasy points. 47 roster moves suggest a flurry of activity, but this team is really struggling.

Well folks, that’s all she wrote! This Field of Dreams league is a real nail-biter. Lots of teams are struggling, but some have shown some real promise. It’s a long season, so there’s still time to turn things around! Remember, it ain’t over ’til it’s over. So keep your eyes peeled.
